Is this article referring to hardware interactions? I thought it was more along the lines of the introduction of remote sandboxed threads providing application specific custom service interfaces. This could very easily be done now with java (maybe its time for me to start a project). And if I ever get time, I might just start the project up.
I know, how can opensource work with all these eyes looking at the code, testing it for free, and pushing it more and more as they realize its better. I don't think SDL performance is an issue.
Where do you see competition coming into this? They are trying to get their codec to be THE REQUIRED STANDARD for HD-DVD content. Competition does not come into play here. In fact its the lack of competition that makes this "standard" of utmost importance. If an open format does not present itself soon, then there will be very little hope for using open source products with the new "standard".
It seems to me more like, Microsoft just wants the standard to contain some Microsoft only patents. Thereby, they can dictate what can/can't play/record the new "standard". I thinks its just another way to eliminate competition. The future of new PC is obviously going towards the digital media hub. M$ wants to make sure that hub is MS only.
If you use qmail with Gentoo it is damn easy to administrate. I like to couple that with BincIMAP. It just seems to work so damn well, very easily. I basically just like the unixness of qmail (every part is a seperate program). Sendmail sux, and I have no experience with Postfix though. But let me reiterate Sendmail sux. You use Sendmail to get your server 0wn3d:-P. Well, either that or BIND, and occasionally OpenSSH (but they are a lot better about seperating privileged processes now, so its not as much of an issue). Haven't tried Dovecot either. What are its advantages?
No joke. People really talk down to a database which is probably superior to the one they have. MySQL's feature set is nothing compared to Firebird. Firebird's license is far less restrictive. Firebird runs on a bazillion platforms. And there is documentation for it, not to mention an embedded build. Also, it has a nice no maintenance attitude. As in it can run for quite a long time without having to perform any maintenance chores on it. Also, it implements almost all (if not all) of SQL92 and a sizable chunck of SQL99. This is a nice full featured server, and anyone who just throws this off is doing themselves a great discredit.
Partially sorry, for what I said above. I have no experience with Kodak's CMOSs, just their professional cameras. For some reason I read your last sentence as stating that the CMOS's in Kodak's cameras are craptronic. The CMOS's that I've used with their cameras are FillFactory though:-P, and are of very high quality.

Piece of mind through frequent physician visits costs money. Take it from a self-diagnosed:-P hypochondriac. If you want to reduce the number of "cyberchondriacs" out there:
DON'T just put out symptom lists, also put out comprehensive anti-symptom lists DON'T tout statistical inprobability as likelyhood of having or not having a disease, since statistics don't show YOUR chances of having a disease they only show the amount of people out of a sampled set who have the disease (don't even get me started on other misinterpretations of statistics) DO provide an open forum for discussion with doctors specializing in the field online, to allow people who still have questions to post them in a channel where they won't break the bank
And as far as the frequent doctors visits, I don't think it would be half as big a deal if there was just some way to just talk to a MD over the phone or something. I personally hate going to see doctors. But as far as I'm concerned, when my body tells me I'm feeling horrible (whether misconceived or otherwise) I go to a doctor to get answers.
Well, they are fixing to put out Release Candidate 9, and if no bugs are found within the first week then they will make that 1.5 final. 64-bit support is in the 2.0 experimental branch. Its coming along very well.
Yeah, and they are working on a x86-64 port, and fixing to release v1.5 which is the RDBMS rewritten in C++. I'm really surprised people push MySQL over this.
Well, I know the folks on the Firebird RDBMS were pretty ticked that they decided to adopt Firebird. But personally I like this new name better. I think I might suggest to the Firebird people to change to their name:-P. Seriously though, I am glad they did this. Its better for everyone this way.
You can't get sick from the flu shot. But you can get sick from the flu (caught via usual transports) within the first two weeks of receiving your flu shot. What you said is a common misconception. Unless of course you just had an allergic reaction to it, which would've taken about 15 minutes to set in.
A hack? Like its really a complex subject to recursively traverse dependencies. I myself vote for Gentoo on this, btw. The init scripts are quite elegant, and they just work.

Judging by the number of questions this guy asks. He doesn't know half the sh!t which he should for that much intelligence boasting. :-P
Since the Opteron costs less than half of the Xeon, then Opteron wins right?

C++ has a postfix operator returning the old value of C.

OK, so here is what they do. They have the VoIP customer provide a set of locale profiles. Save it with their account info. Simple!

Ignorant idiot.
You know you're right. They do produce some pretty horrible looking images.
Apache license has never been compatible with any GPL besides LGPL.
And sorry I meant to say peace and not piece :-P.

We don't, the electoral college does.

SoftImage is a 3D modeller. VideoToaster is a non-linear video editor. Who said that VideoToaster was rendering 3d animations in Jurassic Park.
