Despite what the man says, I think SSL and SSH are here to stay. Sure, they need their upgrades, but in the long run, they'll survive as reliable and secure protocols.
Man, what a wasted time. Now I'll be able to run a Java-based clock on my calculator. Great! Java is so slow, that nothing interesting will work on a 8-bitter. Those CPUs need to be coded in assembly, not some HLL, and DEFINITELY not something a clockcycle-wasting as Java! Why did this ever become featured, anyway?

Don't you know that AMD also makes x86 CPUs (which are better, BTW)? How can I take an anti-Microsoft person who doesn't even think about AMD seriously?
You made one big mistake, and that means I won't even read the rest of your article. You are hypocrite.
Remember the experiment where electrons where shot through holes, and they would interfere with each other, even though there was only one electron in at a time? People have tried to observe the electron, but when using fotons with a big wavelength the beam was too imprecise, and when using fotons with a small wavelength the interference was annihilated.
I'm not exactly sure, but those lenses might be used to concentrate fotons with a big wavelength, so that the beam is precise enough AND doesn't interfere!
Here in The Netherlands, there was also a plan to ban encription and force anyone who wants a license to hand in both his public and private key. Naturally, widespread protests arised around the country, and it never came through. Had it came through, though, I don't think many people would give up their PGP or give away the key.
Oh man, why should you want to use Linux on a Z80? It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too heavy and bloated and slow for that. Besides, you'd have to rewrite most of it too, since the Z80 is no 32-bit CPU.
Just make an OS in Z80 assembly, like people do for Texas Instruments calculators. Check out ticalc for instance.
Does this judge really not realize that there are tons of nullifiers out there? Even randomize-nullifiers exist. If you do things well, you can't recover a deleted file. Just remove the filesystem entry, nullify it, write a few iterations of random data and nullify it again. There's no need for this nonsense!
However, stupid people like the judge DO need a recycle bin to keep them from destroying important documents.
As for the e-mail stuff, I agree that one shouldn't be confronted with stuff from years ago that is out of contest, but if we were to find an e-mail right now from O.J. to his lawyer saying he did it, would we ignore it? I don't think we should!
Some people might wonder about this, and with good right. Because really, what HAS he done? Okay, so he invented the WWW. That's all. That would be important if only it had been original. But the fact is that he simply combined things. Hyperlinks, a gopher-like system, multimedia (yeah, especially in the beginning) were all available when he started. In fact the web wasn't too different from Gopher when it began. Only when it started to evolve it became what it is today. And that's exactly the part he didn't infuence.
I'm not denying his importance, I just don't think he should be number one.
Well, if one were to describe the approach Transmeta took, what would be the most logical description: CISC! Soooooo, Transmeta is indeed using an old idea and although they are dusting it off and all, the past has learned that it just doesn't work. Of course there's a lot of difference between CISC processors and the Crusoe, but the essence is the same.
RISC has obliterated CISC, so technically Transmeta shouldn't stand a chance.
No, 3dfx was smart to release FSAA. And still, it is the best and fastest implementation to date, because it is hardware, whereas nVidia used some kind of driver-trick to scale down the resolution, giving something that's slower and blurrier.
Also, they never supported T-buffering, which may not be supported yet, but definitely proves to be great when implemented, unlike HW T&L, which sometimes actually lowered image quality.
Today Microsoft released Windows 2000 Third Millenium Edition (W2K3ME for short). It features all kinds of interesting software, and takes up only 23 Gigabytes of disk space. However, users have complained of suddenly getting filesystems unaccesible to others Micro$oft OSes, and are reporting strange phenomena, such as files called "vmlinuz" and the explorer renamed "Gnome". Microsoft has not yet responded.
Why do you judge me based on nothing? I have a girlfriend, and wouldn't even think about fucking a kid, that would be bad for both. And I think that pedophiles are wrong. BUT, I can understand that he may have those feelings, and that it's hard to deny them. I'm not defending him, just trying to show some, well, understanding.

It's better than no discussion at all. Hopefully our "poldermodel" proves to work once more.
It doesn't support hardware T&L, but it DOES support Glide and has a switch built-in to toggle FSAA.
So basically it will sell a ton of Voodoo5 cards...

shut up about ya fucking beowulf cluster! THEY SUCK! THEY'RE SLOWER THAN AN ABACUS! THEY MUST BE DESTROYED!

I thought the passwords were stored as hashes. This sure is one helluva breach of confidence...

The article says it runs at 90 MHz, but in reality it's 100. This means it's slightly faster in single-texturing games.
But you must admit that, even in Q3, the HW T&L is minimal at best.

No, the DNA doesn't reproduce itself. It is being transcripted into both DNA and m-RNA by the cellular core.
No way, tricorders use fotonic sensors!
No, reproducing is not altering. And conduction is not semiconduction. The point of this discovery is purely biological.
If it were a fact, it'd be wrong. But it's not a fact. It's a lie.

Make your POINT...
And you're a brainless @$$hole who should be killed right now.
