What does Cisco bring to the table that nobody else does or can?
Maybe I'm a short-sighted idiot, but I thought Cisco did networking products. I guess if I saw them getting involved in the set-top box market, it would be in designing hardware to setup a background infrastructure for other set-top box makers.
Unless breakthroughs like this can improve the quality of life, it's a neat but ultimately worthless advance. Humans already life way longer than the length of time they're useful to society, and if we suddenly have people living 6 times as long but still degrading by 70-90, we're just going to sink even more quickly.
Now, humans living a few hundred years and staying able-bodied for most of it would be an incredible advance and would probably serve to benefit society, but... otherwise... I fear and do NOT welcome our new 400-year-old jello eating overlords.
While your comment is cute in an esoteric sort of fashion, considering the fact that even the vast majority of slashdot visitors are IE users, I doubt Solaris supporting a new type of SQL qualifies as front page news.

Yeah, moderate me off topic, troll, flaimbait, or otherwise, but considering how many worthwhile articles get ignored and how many worthless ones get duped, how does shit like this make it onto the front page?

Mr Emory Barr Abbey National PLC Bromley Rd Branch London BW1 3AN
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Emory Barr, Accounts Manager, of Abbey National PLC Bromley Rd Branch. I have an important business proposition for you.
On December 12th, 2001, a German contractor with the British Pertroleum co-orporation, United Kingdom,Mr. Olaf Partetzke made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$ 17,350,000.00 (Seventeen Million Three Hundred Hundred and fifty Thousand Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the British Pertroleum co-orporation that Mr.Olaf Partetzke died from an Automobile accident further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Olaf Partetzke did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$ 17,350,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to inheritance Laws of the United Kingdom, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Local Government Authorities here in Wales, United Kingdom, if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Olaf Partetzke so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction .
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the Manager with my bank will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately to my private email box : emory400@xasamail.com
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Emory Barr

Actually, you simp, the problem with your argument is PowerPC and Cell are not analogous names. PowerPC denotes certain things, but it doesn't specify the final type. There are PowerPC G3s, G4s, G5s, and a host of others I've forgotten that predate those. Thus far sir, there is only one iteration of a cell processor, meaning any cell you find out there right now is the same one in anything else with a cell processor.

No. In our insanely litigious society, a company has graciously allowed another to create and market a different processor by the same exact name.
This judge needs to be careful with what he's doing. Before he knows it, a savvy opponent could latch onto the (obviously false) notion that he's not "for the children" and ride it right into his seat on the bench.
I propose we do something in advance to combat this ever-increasing problem. A new Godwin's law of sorts. You automatically lose any argument if you utter the phrase "Think of the children." If you say it while waving your arms around in apocalyptic chicken little fashion, you automatically get shot in the face.
They're always going to be cracked until they can implement some form of hardware protection, which they may eventually do once x86 macs are out there, but... what do they gain at the moment by doing this?
The problem with your engine is one of maintenence. In our body, regular use of muscles causes microtears in the fiber, which our body has to repair. What you are proposing would need almost a complete functioning... animal to surround it to deliver stimuli, fuel, repair and transport waste from it.
We'd be better off just sticking a mouse in a wheel.
