Considering the Banias and Dothan cores (Pentium M? you know, the reason Apple switched to Intel?) were designed by Intel Israel, I think it will work out pretty well. Intel's Israeli division is also working on Yonah, a CPU architecture designed from the ground up to be dual-core, with the power consumption of the Dothan.
Why, there is no more fun a way than teaching them to compile a linux kernel! Just give them a copy of the sources and off they go! It's quick, fun and most importantly easy. If they can't handle it, your co-workers are probably retarded and you should find another job.
In the meantime, most science and math inclined Asians flock to the US for their education, and then later, for their careers. In that way America "brain drains" many other nations. Very few return to their homeland today, because they still consider America the "land of opportunity." And compared to most areas in China's command-economy, it truly is. As for Japan and Korea though, that's another question...
I interviewed a Greenpeace official about nuclear power 7 years ago (yes, I was a kid back then). He did not mention George Walker Bush as a reason against nuclear power. Instead, he just claimed that additional power generation was unnecessary, and that a potential meltdown would hurt the environment worse than any other type of power production.
Many scientists are foreign, but for any defense-related research U.S. citizenship is required for security clearances (confidential, secret and top secret).
In an effort to increase the study of math and science at American universities, lawmakers are considering
a bill that would pay up to $10,000 for student's accumulated loan interest through college. The benefits would be available to those studying math, science, engineering and technology, provided that after graduation students work in their fields for at least five years.
This is what we NEED! Not only is engineering tuition usually more expensive than that for liberal arts, but there are plenty of bright kids turning to business and econ so that they can start making six figures right out of college. Money matters to students, and most are not willing to put themselves through the stress of engineering education only to be saddled with loans the first 8 years after school. This bill of course would not eliminate that, but it would defray the costs enough to make engineering much more attractive to freshmen.
ANY bill towards reducing tuition costs is good, especially one towards engineering, math and science majors.
He mentions things about Usenet, CPU's, motherboards and even "feeding trolls." I have to wonder whether Weird Al was familiar with those terms before he wrote it, or if he actually conducted research to ensure the geekiness of the song.
Are some operating systems more open than others with regard to the configuration of Daylight Savings Time start and end dates, or will we need yet another update or patch to modify the internal calendar?
Wouldn't a patch for this sort of thing require all of 10 seconds to make?
A Guardian article interviewing McKinnon with much of the same information in the audio interview. The most interesting part of his XYZ conspiracy "evidence" that McKinnon describes is the "non-terrestrial officers" mentioning he found in US military documents. He seems to believe that a complete U.S. space army already exists, with those involved based in military orbiting stations.
Must one be a Firefly cult fan to be excited about this movie? It just looks like a sci-fi B-movie with completely tired "bad boy" characters and mediocre fight scenes.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Sci Fi actor James Doohan was found dead in his Washington home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

What does that have to do with anything? Slashdot story comments aren't meant for blogging.

Holy fucking flamebait... but yes, the Liberty incident is infuriating to say the least...
In short, you have no idea how it works and want someone else figure it out. Wow, that's just what the EFF just asked in the story.

So, the word "hack" refers to converting between data formats now?
I think most people (though not you) find dropping support for a 5 year old OS pretty reasonable.
No one did it because it's not funny at all. Also, "noone" isn't a word.
Wow, so there are 900k users now...
Ha ha! Look at the guy, what a nerd!

They should just call it Version 9. You know, like how Netscape skipped version 5 ftw.
Yes, I often use Italian arguments as well.
I agree, the first paragraph is frivolous. It's a shame the mods don't know the difference between a legitimate, topical critique and a troll.
I'd like to see a console gamer take out a PC mouse-user with his analog stick.
From the review:
Unfortunately, that frission of so many different players working together rarely happens.
