... when we solve the halting problem. I'm not entirely joking. The main problem with progress bars is that, quite often, it is not possible to accurately estimate how much time is needed to complete a problem (i.e. for the program to halt).
Any improvements to power management? It pains me that my laptop gets 4 hours battery life when in Windows 7 but only 2 hours when in Linux. In both cases it's just idle with nothing special running in the background. Or is this a problem with the distribution?
I find DLNA wonderfully useful. Anyone who comes into my living room can show the photos and videos from their phone on my TV. Same for laptops. Everyone can instantly access each other too, as well as my media server. It's great for parties.
I discovered your site through my roommate back in '97 a little after I joined university. It's been my default page, locked tab, checking-if-internet-is-working site ever since. I now frequent many other blogs, news sites, social networks, etc. But I always come back to Slashdot every day. I'm mostly a lurker but for some reason or the other, signed up early (probably because at that time one could sign up for everything without worry).
I hadn't realized it's been 14 years. Bon Voyage CmdrTaco, good luck in your new endeavors.
By turning off the sound and music, you ruined part of the experience. A lot of what people appreciated about the game WAS the story. The way it starts out as a simple puzzle game, but then as you play you realize that there actually is a story, especially with the hidden rooms that you find. If you just rush through a game without looking around or appreciating the full experience, you'll get a distilled, boring, output, as you did.
Yes it would. And we in Bangladesh have got just that. I've seen numerous jams solely because cars were unsure which to follow, the cops or the lights.
If you had bothered to read the article, you'd see that the author has done JUST that. Not only did he prove (using proper statistical methods) that the results are significantly not random, he also dug up the exact javascript source code that does the shuffling and explained why it is faulty. RTFA!
EXACTLY. You, my friend have just summarized what is the absolute truth. True science fiction is not fully focused on the fictional science. It's a story involving drama, action, mystery, or what not in a fictional science setting.
Ender's Game was a war story, Dune was about a prophet, the I Robot series was a detective series. They all took place in a fictional science setting. THAT is science fiction.
This is a great idea. It whould promote more interest in the specific problems and unsolved math problems in general. Besides, more collaboration should result in better research.
Hell, almost all the cases should be considered successes now. The problem was that they were all massively over hyped back in the day.
Our massive move to web-applications and the newly-but-stupidly-coined "Cloud" is as much a thin client solution as it was back then.
To many, Google can be considered an AI. After all, it helps answers your questions. With more and more NLP being built into it (and other web applications), it its getting closer to directly answering your questions.
So what if ERP always went over budget and was deployed only half the time? That is still a HUGE amount. Do you know of any large companies that DONT use some form of ERP?
CASE was all about "Model Driven Development", and I'd say the "Scaffolding" provided by modern Application Toolkits (both web and desktop) is just that.
I write down a schema and BANG, I have all the code to maintain, modify, manipulate, and persist (through a database) that model. I can change the schema and BANG, the code gets regenerated. Some modern toolkits (e.g. Doctrine) even support writing migration classes to ease schema changes.
Many web application toolkits (e.g. Symfony) even auto-generate form classes, filter classes, a REST api, as well as basic templates to show, edit, create, and delete these models - making prototyping AND RAD super fast and easy.
If my interpretation of CASE is correct, it is very much a success today.

GRRR. "extends" was for inheritance, "implements" was for interfaces, so why wasn't "uses" chosen for traits, instead of "use"?

What? English did not became an international language because of the US. Rather, it is a direct result of British Colonialism.
(1) The latest Ubuntu LTS
(2) Webmin and Virtualmin.
That's It! Nuff said.

That was the most stupid slideshow ever. Any random "Top Ten" in http://cracked.com/ is better than this drivel. Lame!
Best Summary Ever. But the title was too "farky". Didn't go with the summary.

I loved your Austin Powers reference! That's what you were intending, right?

Damn you! I was about the write the VERY same comment. :-( But you beat me to it.
Yep!

You are actually trying to support your claim that Vista had it first by saying YOU saw the Vista one first, that's why?
Looks great, and the price seems awesome. Is it too good to be true?
Actually, you should divide by 4 (not 2), to eliminate the 3 extra 90 degree rotations of the same final image.

Pretty dump question. Any worshiper would reply God doesn't have what you call a penis. He isn't a sexual creature that needs an organ to reproduce.
I actually liked that movie - I remember it as "that odd night when I was tiny".
Another modern and heavily used AI: vehicle control systems (especially fighter jets and race cars).
