My guess is that it was probably a progression from "Haiping's PHP" to HPHP to HipHop.
Two syllables vs four or more... looks like they're not just computing more efficiently, but also speaking more efficiently!
I think that eventually someone will throw up a network of those high altitude balloon UAVs with some kind of mesh topology and a series of ground stations with Google and similar datacenter-in-a-shipping-container web services out in the middle of nowhere, including in the third world.
The network itself will be better protected from vandalism than copper or fiber, and properly meshed, highly resistant to centralized attacks. Can you take out all of the Google shipping containers on the network?
Solar-powered repeater stations on the ground can turn whatever RF transport that's used and translate into WiFi.
This would be a perfect opportunity for a large-scale IPv6 rollout, while they're at it.
Interested? Someone's going to do it. Why not have it be you?
I have and carry both a Blackberry for work, and an iPhone because I wanted something that wasn't under the control of IT overlords.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who carries a Blackberry in the default plastic holster and drops it onto the floor at least once every few weeks... and it's got nothing to protect it from that dive.
My iPhone, however, being my personal property, does get better care. It's usually in a case in a pocket, and only small portions of its surface are directly exposed...
I'm not surprised that iPhones fail less. People take far better care of them.
I'm certainly interested in performance for reasons other than games, and for home use as well.
I might not be able to give an exhaustive list, but transcoding is one area where a huge boost in compute performance will substantially change overall throughput.
I've been playing with Elemental Technologies BadaBoom, which uses CUDA to encode h.264 on the GPU, but it'll only use the first GPU it finds, and as of this point it's still limited on input and output formats.
As the PC becomes more of a digital media hub, I definitely see encoding/transcoding being an area which will drive home CPU consumption for the time being.
Yes, but robots.txt lets you specify not only permission to retrieve the page, but also what the robot can do with it. AVG's using the result of the permission I give to Google without having permission itself.
I'd love to see Google step up and say that the application erodes trust between Google and webmasters, and push AVG to do something... or subtly break the functionality in some manner.
In the mean time, since it's possible to detect requests from the AVG toolbar (the missing accept encoding header), web sites could launch an awareness campaign with an interstitial YOU IDIOT! page when a human visit follows AVG's "visit".
When it comes to search engines, there's at least a method available to opt out. It may not be as good as opt-in in many ways, but robots.txt is pretty well respected by most reputable firms.
And if that causes problems for webmasters, Thompson says, so be it. "I don't want to sound flip about this, but if you want to make omelets, you have to break some eggs."
Sounds like a "fuck off" to me.
I guess slimy is in the eye of the beholder, but the attitude reminds me of Claria.
Is it only me wondering why the foam thing wasn't a problem in the 80s and 90s, and then after it came up as an issue, the people who pulled off some fantastic stuff with the Mars rovers are surprised when they don't have a problem with the foam, and everything is so tenuous?
It's not the job of government to decide what rights people have, but to determine what rights they don't have, as by default, if freedom is the natural state of man, it is limitation of the rights of man that must be negotiated and/or dictated.

Isn't a femtosecond thus technically a standard unit?
The end-of-year demo was in Michigan in January.
Do you need any better of a sign that something's wrong?
It seems as though everyone's excited about "wireless broadband", but the speedtest app on my iPhone says 416ms ping while I'm on 3G.
Latency that's even half that is useless for many applications, and just frustratingly slow for just about all the rest.
Are we just heading for a new definition of the digital divide whereby some people don't have access to *useful* broadband?

Reasonable people deal with the consequences of picking an "alternative" platform.

Err... what the hell was I doing with 5 gallons of horse laxative?

Perhaps, someone could elaborate on how they are slimey. This appears to be an attempt to protect people.
Might it be proper to call this "The Patriot Act Principle"?
Political ideology aside, if you don't consider some of the things this country has done since 9/11 to be slimy, you probably won't get how this is.

What rights does the family have regarding this video?
I may be an insensitive prick. OK, I *am* an insensitive prick.
Explain to me a legal right that his family has that's violated by this video being distributed.
Not a moral imperative, not how we should be nice... a right.
Thanks, I knew you couldn't.
Perhaps to avoid liability?
Some of his statements seemed to be about inclusion of the database in another product...
With the SCO v. Novell lawsuit on the front page, it makes me wonder if this is the underdeveloped idea he was getting at.

Sorry, but there's simply too much prior art for you to be granted a patent.
Every time a kitten dies, God makes a Catholic masturbate!
What makes you call it right-wing? Libertarian, fine... but the right-wing folks would call me a commie for other reasons.
It's not the job of government to decide what rights people have, but to determine what rights they don't have, as by default, if freedom is the natural state of man, it is limitation of the rights of man that must be negotiated and/or dictated.
I believe that you misread BitchTorment.
Miserable failure isn't someone well known. George Bush is. They meant to Googlebomb a well-known person's name.
Your patent rejected due to the countless evidences of prior art.
