I am probably being extremely naive, but isn't Linus very much against any kind of regression in a major release? If I remember right, some important guy left the project over an argument concerning regression in the package he was maintaining.
Depends on who the "competitors" are. Mozilla? Google? Do you really think Microsoft Research will pull out such a stunt? As far as I can seem it's the dickweeds at the corporate side of Microsoft who bring down its reputation.
It's *not* a fair comparison for the simple reason that Linux is open source for most part. It can be much harder to find a security vulnerability in a 3rd party software, whereas most applications running on Linux is open source.
I don't know about torrent but Richard Feynmann Physics Lectures has some lectures in flash. I don't know how comprehensive it is, but you still get to see his lectures.
There are practical experiments being conducted in teleportation and they were not posted on Slashdot? I thought it was all just theoretical blah blah... We seriously need more articles like this.
Not for everything. Think, if a bunch of organisations use Eclipse IDE, they all will happily contribute to the project either through code or through cash. Open source is good for software like this. On the other hand, it's not good for a competitive market like an MMO or RPG game. You could, in theory, argue that open source game engines are viable.
It does. When you create an official word that can be used in a legal context, such that it has a negative connotation towards an individual or an organisation, it becomes a subtle form of negative marketing.
Tivo used a loophole in GPLv2 to further their interests, and now they have an ethically questionable legal term in their name. Try convincing me that won't hurt them.
Seeing as how you called Tivo a culprit, I am sure you will disagree with me, or you will say that they deserve it.
It doesn't matter. P = I^2 * R, where R is the resistance of the brain. As long as the current is regulated by adding a load in series, the report is fine.
Quadratic programming with an RBF or Gaussian kernel should give you the best possible separation between any two classes by design, with sufficient amount of cross validation. Sadly, this doesn't always work in practice. I spent many months working on getting SVM to classify speech datasets, but the simpler methods always reigned. Not to mention, they take a fraction of the time to train a model.
I am guessing that the parameter tweaking required for SVM in some datasets is much more sensitive than others.
I am not a designer, but I can understand is an art, and requires lots of "closed beta" experiments to bring out something new *and* polished on the table. To get some perspective, Microsoft spent millions and millions of dollars on the ribbon UI in MSOffice. What Gnome folks did, "We assume that people work like this, or should work like this, so lets make DE keeping that in mind".
For the average joe it is a thousand times better than Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows.
It's not usable for people other than the average Joe, the same people who they get their funds from. Get out of your basement (whether mental or physical), and you will realize that. Windows XP to Windows 7 transition was a big enough deal, and the basic user interface remained the same for all practical purposes. You are telling me a radical interface revamp is going to be okay for people who actually matter?
Viruses alone, lost data, and instability plague the system.
GNU/Linux is decent, and it's got much better support for stable filesystems than windows for sure. People say that it's more secure, but whether this is because of better design or lesser market share, I don't know. But stability? lol... Even Linus knows that it's not stable. Moreover, this discussion has very little to do with GNU/Linux, but more with the industry funded desktop environments that runs on top of it. You just sound like an Ubuntu fanboy, who thinks Mark can do no wrong. Go back to your forums, and stop spreading FUD.
Disclaimer: I use Linux Mint for both home and work, and I am just an extremely pissed off user seeing how I will have a less than productive environment in 6 months.
When I was a kid (read 12 - 18), I read some 100 - 200 odd fiction and non-fiction books out of which only about 20 of which were mine, and the rest were borrowed from friends. Conversely, I lent most of my books for my friends to read. So I am not sure where you are coming from, but my friends and I did a lot of lending - sharing.
Furthermore, when I was done with those books and got bored of reading them, I donated it to some less rich kids. You *cannot* do that with ebooks. I feel very strongly about passing books down the generations. Whether for information or entertainment, few other mediums surpass them.
One of my publishers sent me an email informing me that because my sales were good, they were going to "reward" me with 20 percent of ebook sales. Yet, when I put books directly onto the Kindle, I received 70 percent of the profit (Amazon keeps 30 percent).
Interesting. Which model brings in greater net returns to you and to the general novelist population, the legacy publishers or the kindle?
You are right, I take the bandwagon statement back. I knew about Windows Marketplace, just didn't remember it at all. But, I guess that's a testimonial as to how much it sucked. But, I am pretty sure that this will be a much bigger success (because of trends and better marketing), provided they manage to bring in high end productivity and gaming software.
Slashdot Mirror
I guess it's someone suffering a major regression in his sense of humor.

wget for Windows. Enjoy.
Flamebait much?
Of course, torrents would be appreciated. :)
The TFA says "researchers from Australia and Japan", and mentions a research institute. But doesn't say which lab this experiment was performed in?
...previous teleportation experiments...

Ratings and reviews already exist on Google Maps. You never use them?
That was indeed my point. I was merely not aware of successful open source game engines.

Yep. Especially considering that Tivo didn't even violate the license.

inb4, you don't know how to use svm

It takes too much effort to say it though "Lee -bru - office". OpenOffice is just easier on my tongue. Damn French...
Did you know that GIMP has only two and a half developers. I don't use GIMP much, but kudos to them for creating such great software!

Wait, in todays games, you need to "check in" online to play in single player mode? That's highly retarded!

Yes, but it's now known as AppStore, which as everyone knows, makes it 10 times better than sliced bread!
