IT is instrumental in people dying, secrets being leaked, governments falling, oppressive regimes continuing to oppress, billions being transacted, but alas, we get auto-correct 'funnies' here.
Even if fanbois from various camps jump with joy/sorrow with the news, I still think that the open model that Android brought to the mobile world will be much more beneficial for everyone (end users, developers, companies, etc.) in the long run, all things considered. People saying that the Apple model is better than Android's are not realizing this.
An overclocking guide can be found here.
You *might* get problems under extreme load, because the 6950 uses the 6-pin power connector, whereas the 6970 can draw more power, because it uses the 9-pin connector.
Opera is a fine browser, my only wish is for hardware acceleration, but everything works well as it is nevertheless.
I switched to it after ditching Firefox, because FF is rapidly becoming the number one target for malware. A victim of its own success I would say. So I reckon a browser with 2.5% market share is not a great target for malware writers. This is confirmed by my real-time security scanner (Secunia PSI) which tells me that it's the safest of the installed browsers, with IE and FF having gaping holes with NO known remedies...
They can get all the patents they like, I think it's not worth the hype it's getting. Congrats to the teams and all, I'm sure there were a lot of technologically challenging problems that had to be solved (e.g. compression) but in essence it was always going to be laggy gameplay on the cheap.
Have you even RTFA? He says so himself that doing REAL investigative reporting is non-existent anymore. There is no money in it. On the other hand, if you're heading media companies, you get perks for NOT nuancing the government too much, e.g. slots in "embedding" journalists in war zones.
I totally agree with parent. And I believe that this will be comparing apple to oranges, because for humans, memory is being tested, whereas for computers, parsing algorithms and expression tree implementations are being tested.
Nothing.
There is little background radiation in most places and I'm pretty certain they'll want to avoid taking you to places with higher radiation if they want this tourism thing to last. Don't forget, there are people who *live* in that area and have lived for almost their entire life. So, a visit of a few days, so long as it does not involve taking you to any highly dangerous places, e.g. the core itself, should really be fine.
It all depends on the actual DDoS load. There's no such thing as infinite bandwidth, you see. Amazon was down for 30 minutes in 4 countries on Sunday. And this by some quasi-organized group of script kiddies. So no, I don't see that being the case yet at all...
"One woman said Assange ignored her appeals to stop when the condom broke."
This is outrageously subjective, clearly her word against his no? And that is probably the point, because that is a very difficult position to defend and the subjective judgement of a judge (who will most probably be under *extreme* pressure). I'm not too worried, WikiLeaks is not just Assange, there are others who will continue his work. He is merely the head and obviously some agents are very quick to try and chop it.
"The world continues to chase apple -- probably for the better."
That's just flame bait, I wouldn't have glimpsed twice on this article had there been no such phrase... Yet, here I am now, reading the article, posting and trying to come up with something that will tease Apple fanbois, for the heck of it. This is why I come here every day;)
Miguel was very quick indeed to try to spread FUD and capitalize on the uncertainty that Oracle brought to Java, e.g. see: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Oct-26.html
I wonder how is this going to impact his disposition. Let me guess, it's still better than Java right?

In the mean time, use Opera 11...

This a yawn-story (== ranked a little bit above a non-story)

...have you heard of Samba and OpenLDAP perhaps?

Yes and you should expect sub-task forces such as OMFG and xD ROFL to be created once some of the results are in from the first task force.

Precisely, because that's what's bringing the money in I would presume.
They can get all the patents they like, I think it's not worth the hype it's getting. Congrats to the teams and all, I'm sure there were a lot of technologically challenging problems that had to be solved (e.g. compression) but in essence it was always going to be laggy gameplay on the cheap.
Uhm, no. Just because a software project is delayed "several times and several months" doesn't make it better. Just more late than expected...

Exactly my point. I think for sensationalist reasons they will not feed it manually with info, but still, as I said, apples with oranges...

If they make it look remotely like the Fallout series (esp. the second or New Vegas), then they will probably get plenty of visitors...

"A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers" ... really?
That was about 1-2 months ago, but I suspect that with the whole WikiLeaks debacle, those customers are probably looking elsewhere...
Exactly, they showed their true colors in the way that they handled the WikiLeaks affair / pressure from the government. Thanks, but NO THANKS Amazon!

I think this is similar to what James Cameron did for the (bad) movie called Avatar.

What are the implications to Mono from this sale? Is this an Oracle/Java situation, or is it worse?
