I'm talking about the Web 2.0 startup world, where Microsoft is literally dead
so, the 35,000+ BizSpark startups are just a figment of someone's imagination?
I'm 40 now, I learned my way around UNIX 25 years ago and kept at it. I bet you 20 years from now I'll still be leveraging my investment while Microsofties will be learning whatever it is Microsoft is shoving down their throats
or, to paraphrase:
"Unix hasn't improved in 25 years, and it's probably not going to in the next 20 years. Microsoft will continue to innovate its technologies for its developer community."
Their new superpower is the ability to translate between a slew of confusing measurements: becquerel, cpm, curie, gray, rad, rem, roentgen, rutherford, sievert.
Yeah, PBR is probably the best choice right now, but they're not without their issues (dust, cracking, jamming & waste volume), but at least they're inherently inert. Molten-salt is also interesting, but also not without serious issues.
However, the bottom line is that ALL these low-budget, designed-for-submarines-only boiling water reactors need to be decommissioned immediately.
The robots they tried to use at Chernobyl stopped working almost immediately
yeah, and then they sent in 1,000 red-army soldiers who bravely carried(!), shoveled and threw parts of the exploded core back into the reactor. with makeshift protection.
nuclear power is fine, just as long as the reaction containment vessel can safely be completely disconnected from ALL external systems while running at 100%. anything less needs to be scrapped, now.
there's been a lot of talk about how this kind of accident couldn't happen with the newer designs with passive safety systems. but as far as I can tell these aren't so passive, they're just slightly less active. sure, they may not need external power, or human intervention (for a while), but they still need a whole bunch of equipment outside the containment vessel to be functioning correctly in order for disaster to be averted.
no SPOFs people, come on. using your moderator as coolant which also happens to oxidize your cladding, vaporize into explosive gas? really?
the thing flash does that advertisers care most about is work the same on everyone's browser. if you're paying for impressions that means a LOT.
besides that it has a whole bunch of capabilities that HTML5 doesn't get close to. try combining: - fonts - anti-aliased vector art - bitmaps & pixel effects - animations - video - 3d in a single pre-compiled binary format, using little to no coding.
even if html5 could so all of this, there are still no tools significantly better than notepad.
i'm no fan of flash, but it's the best there is for advertisers right now. at least until more platforms refuse to support it.
chaos theory is about small variations in initial conditions leading to large fluctuations in final state. randomness is not a requirement. people often make the mistake that one implies the other, it doesn't.
in 1994, the Internet at Microsoft was a shell account on a Xenix box called 'wingate' you could telnet into then telnet/ftp from there. there was a directory on it that was shared internally over IPX (IP wasn't routed back then) so you could copy files back to your machine. they also had a couple of nntp servers. an unofficial PPPoE connnection showed up hosted by the NT networking team, but the service was spotty...

or, to paraphrase:
that might be true, but Erik Meijer isn't in research - he's an architect in DevDiv.
Very deep, you should send that in to the Reader's Digest. They've got a page for people like you...
well, there's this and this.
actually, the base libraries are in partition IV of the ECMA/ISO spec.
well, it was capable of receiving both the 240-line Baird and the 405-line EMI systems. so yes, in it's day it was high-def!
What a crap article, they couldn't even find a http://www.earlytelevision.org/images/marconi-702-hd.jpg of the thing.
here's some more technical info on this TV.
wow, how does it know to do a vertical flip and not a horizontal one?
YES!

you're kidding, right?

find, join and support one of your fine local ISPs.
huh? i'm still getting updates for my PowerPC Mac Mini which has to be over 6 years old, and XP is going to be patched until 2014.
hypertext doesn't belong in attributes.

I think the smell might change once the trolls get closer, though.
How about John Boner's $450 million earmark spending the Pentagon's budget on a project it doesn't even want?
tomato for more win
The BMJ, the Lancet, Neurotoxicology, The American Journal of Gastroenterology, The UK General Medical Council. How many peers do you need?
yeah, but if it's just a box full of jelly beans and the nazis eat them all without sharing... where would you be then, eh?

no need, Keith Packard already talks at least 1.5x faster. great talk.
