So instead of a 40MHz 486 and 8MiB of EDO RAM, we now require at least a 2,5GHz dual core with 1GiB of DDR3 SDRAM to accomplish the same thing on a web page.
Brilliantly said....its a neat tech demo, but really?
"Because if they steal your private data, we can't sell it to them!"
Thats so sadly funny...
Facebook isn't even the least bit shy anymore, "just give us you cell/mobile number, its for safety!" I wonder what new data correlations and connections they can now make with that extra tidbit of data in that database version of you(in the database version of the world)
Well put point, and there are projects out there for free OSS IDEs such as SharpDevelop to help bridge that gap with you don't want to pay for the native toolset/IDE
This stuff happens quite a bit in certain sectors, some people I've worked with in State Government register as "independent" so when the administration changes they don't have to worry about party favoritism or potentially losing their job. Hasn't happened in some time, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did come next election.
"Would you like our "Geek Squad" extended Warranty? It's only $50 a year!"
Since they practically try to get you to sign up for some protection plan or another for just about everything you buy at Best Buy (except candy and soda right before you check out I believe).
If I were to hear this I don't know if I would cringe or just uncontrollably laugh.
All kidding aside, yeah $20 for Ubuntu is a little funny to US, but at least its exposing it to the general populace, who honestly, aren't going to hunt it down, or look into it, but may, stumble across it, online. It brings it more up front which is a good thing.
There is a skill in quick filtering and searching for information online. Ask two people to find a fix/workaround to a software error in an Off the shelf product and they will take various paths to their respective solutions, if not the same solution. If the initial search doesn't turn up enough hits, you can immediately reason what is an alternative search string to use, replace "Error" with "Crash" or "Bug" or "bombs" or "Issue". You can refine based on the results on this pass.
Can that decision tree be coded? Sure can, but the physical labor cost to performance ratio is probably far better than the research/development cost to performance ratio in the near and middle far term. And with people you can greatly different methods as opposed to a designed "AI", being designed, it already has constraints in it's methods based on the design.
Some day....but I don't think "AI" is even remotely close to that level of sophistication.
Just an aside, KALI actually still will honor your membership, so you could go to their site and download the latest version of their client. http://www.kali.net/
This is pretty cool, I don't recall my user ID off the top of my head, but I remember I had to CALL them on the phone to give them my CC info, lol
That was fun times back then, I did some War2, but I was mainly a Duke3D / Cases' Ladder competitive kinda guy, still good stuff!
Considering the rest of that list, its very interesting how pervasive the questions around UFOs are. Sadly, sasquatch has fallen out of public favor...
as others have mentioned, wrong Bruce, and the one you seem to be talking about, Perens, his books are published under the Open Publication License, if you go here you can download 19 out of the 24 books in the series currently...not surprisingly you are wrong again.
Except this one is quite rational, and the logic is sound (NPR is indeed using its taxpayer money to harass competitors)
Except theirs is quite rational, and the logic is sound (NPR is indeed filing a complaint with the FCC due to clearly defined broadcast violations, the same ones that they, NPR, must also abide by as a licensed broadcaster)
They wouldn't file against themselves, so naturally it would be a competitor, if you would even want to call it that.
With internet radio, you rely on alot of infrastructure out of your control to support your broadcast: electric power, servers, service providers, networks(aka the internet), bandwidth fees,etc.
With Radio all you need is a power source, a transmitter (or transceiver),an antennea and your voice.
Yeah, that "Ad" is rough....but I guess after waiting a while for OO to load, the designers' patience ran out and squeezed out this turd.
I don't like being the armchair designer, but really! Not the best foot to put forward. And I want to like OO, I love the idea of it, just the implementation thus far.. it still needs some work, and a complete overhaul in alot of places before it can be competitive. Or just rely on everyones ability to throw massive amounts of RAM/CPU at it..:/

Why is this modded up "Funny"?? its way more insightful than a joke, but great point either way
Eldavojohn, you must find sanctuary, avoid the sandmen!

Nothing left to do now but DNENDING
All that was heard was Garriott's voice booming "Kal Ort Por" and a following puff of smoke.

Heres a set of images from the actual article... http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/05/0524_metro laptop/index_01.htm
Well, to what end?
UFOs are at the top!

Thanks for the alternate view linkage, it would hurt even more if I had to read that spotty list clicking "next" over and over

Whats with the funny mod on the parent post?!? Insightful is more like it!
I wish I could've seen that, I'm sure it'll be on youtube, but to see it live! LOL

Unless you're a Republican. And then it's the Democrats' fault for telling on you.
*Applause*
Not even a mention in their press releases section....hmmmmmm?

I'm waiting for "How to download from (pay)iTunes without paying for it" and "Circumvent Payment in Valve's Steam"
