really, as a computer scientist, why would one ever care? teach them science, mathematics, literature. language. music. this whole idea of computers as an end in themselves is raw masturbation. teach your children to think.
i can easily imagine the hardware people making the interconnect lanes be backward compatible, but i believe there has been some endpoint capability changes between the two generations.
whats difficult to believe is that they actually managed to encorporate the necessary changes in the resource allocator
but i think there is a question of standing. you're not really allowed to file a suit just to teach someone a lesson. there isn't a contractual realtionship between the city and the company. why should the company be allowed to use the courts to undermine the city's plans?
if you want to make an argument about public services and funding use the political arena
thats what i'm doing, but its a very serious investment in tooling, machinery, and learning. there really should be a reasonable place to buy basic gears at close to the cost of the stock.
to some extent this is true, but there are language facilities like horn clauses, automatic memory management, persistence, closures, partial application, streams, type inference, polymorphic functions, and lazy evaluation which really change the substantial character of programs.
actually its worse than you portray. its like pornography. even if you had access to someone's entire history and could detain and interview them indefinately, do you think that you would ever be able to determine if the were are a 'terrorist'? in the absence of some verifiable proof of an act, what would you base your determination on?
this is another symptom of the kind of sleeze that drove intel out of the market for ascii red.
obviously there were some technical delays. cray screwed up the control system, and sandia's insistence on certain unfavorable design decisions increased the time from first boot to running application quite a bit (primarily in the communications implementation, the fabulous* catamount runtime, and the whole i/o fiasco)
but the real game that was going on was that by screwing the project schedule, sandia was able to threaten cray with breach of contract. given government contracting rules this would have been fatal for cray. by messing with the project they ensured that cray would be on the hook for 'additional consideration', which took the form of several upgrades. the largest of these was a whole fifth row.
then they got to turn around and claim to be heroes to the DOE
why does congress have to act? i'm really not a libertarian in general, but its the consumers putting up with this crap from banks, credit reporting agencies, and credit card companies that perpetuates the problem
if only there were more room underneath my tinfoil hat for 20s
obviously the best technical solution is that which requires minimal investment, is an open standard, and available to the largest number of platforms with the least additional per platform support cost.
the most technically savvy event would use moving ascii art, and it would be sweet
dont be so hard on him, you know how different it is to do prefix based forwarding with a radix structure on a 8-64 bit prefix instead of a 8-30 bit prefix?
i agree w/ you about svn. we started 3 person team on svn under the assumption that it would be 'cvs but better'. after several disasterous merges we changed to hg. now we have 10 developers and everything is still working beautifully.
i was a partial victim of motif for a few months when it came out. it was a bad toolkit that got alot of press for a couple years and died. money and time was wasted because it was supposed to be the next big thing.
yes, the licensing was a pita, but it made it that much easier to ignore. in what sense does that argue for gpl over bsd?
maybe the problem with selling security is that is that the products are a pile of afterthought patches. security is a property that should lie at the foundations of a design. why should i put some 1u appliance with alot of molded plastic on my ethernet at all?
please, could someone reference some information that isn't wirtten by a 6 yr. old?
i'm genuinly interesting in this 'perfect difference' network and would like to understand why it makes a decent interconnect. (btw, i dont think cray has ever built a hypercube machine)
i've been interested in this question for the last few years. how much do people value the ability to use a relational language and transactional consistency, or for most of these uses are these things just historical artifacts?
oh man. i'm in trouble. i don't really have a reasonable alibi for the two (two!) hammers i have. one is even a ball-peen. excuse me while i go out and buy some duct tape and canvas. looks like i'm going to have to bury them to prevent uncomfortable questions from being asked. i'm not even a licensed carpenter.

how much of it can one effectively suck back from the ends of the capillaries of the distribution system?

no, i think agile programming is what everyone does by default when there is no thought about what one is doing or why

'not tell the user how they will use the IP' by making them authenticate to a remote service every time they want to. yes, i get it.
so you've worked on both kinds. if i gave you 1000 lines of code, minus the legal garbage, you could tell me which is which then?

ever written a non-trivial parser in fortran?
maybe.
pornography in the sense of not being amenable to any objective definition. 'you know it when you see it'
actually its worse than you portray. its like pornography. even if you had access to someone's entire history and could detain and interview them indefinately, do you think that you would ever be able to determine if the were are a 'terrorist'? in the absence of some verifiable proof of an act, what would you base your determination on?
please, just dont program in threads. if you do, years from now you will realize that you shouldn't. threads are a terrible mistake

i believe its more comparable to the weitek-custom vector units used on the CM-5

oh i agree completely. check out datalog

he had a reasonable alibi

me while i go out and buy some duct tape and canvas. looks like

you are absolutely right. no one should ever do any research into
something which doesn't ultimately look like an x86.
