So you're saying quantum computers won't have the ability to copy data? That the only way they'll be able to send information to another computer is by destroying their copy of that information? I don't think so.
Even over the internet, we don't copy data in any meaninful way. We do it as an approximation of moving the data.
No, it will have some effect. Instead of drawing warm water from the top, they'll use cold water from the bottom. This will reduce the proportion of cold water to warm water in the lake. So it will warm the lake up.
I can't speculate on whether there would be any observable environmental effects. Doubt it, but you never know.
So? It's still an apples to pears comparison. The fact that they'll be making a better comparison "in the near future" doesn't change the fact that they shouldn't make this one at all.
There are arguments that the FDL ain't really Free the way the GPL is.
For instance, if you excerpted a significant portion of this book in another book (say, chapter 2), you'd have to put "Nathan Boeger and Mana Tominaga wrote this book and asks for your support through donation. Contact the authors for more information." on its back cover.
Not only would that be a false statement (because it implies that no one else contributed to the book), but it's gramatically incorrect. Plus, imagine excerpting a whole bunch of FDLed works, each with back cover texts. It's the old-BSD obnoxious advertising clause all over again. So maybe it is an appropriate license...
What's wrong with it is that they're reporting paid spins the same as their non-paid spins. Advertising shouldn't be lumped in with normal airplay.
Other than that, I'd say no, there's nothing wrong with it. I'd rather hear an Avril Lavigne song than a car ad. If labels think this is an effective way to launch a song, great. If they're just trying to fiddle the numbers, that's disgusting.
I'll probably throw in the towel when they come with a dual-processor, dual core, hyperthreaded rig. The frickin' thing would look like it had 8 processors, but only two chip packages.
No, what you have is something else called hyperthreading. Architeturally, dual-core is like having two chips in the same package, and should perform like two chips in separate packages.
C++ is an excellent language, but it gives you enough rope to hang yourself, your immediate family, and maybe a few pets. Learn it fast, and you'll learn it wrong.
Best would be the situation like the early 80s when all the good programs had versions for the APPLE II, Atari, C=64, and IBM PC
Maybe you want to see Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office XP for C=64, but no one else does. Good grief! How many 360K floppies would it take? And Photoshop for Apple II would be just sad. The display only supported 8 colours and the resolution wasn't up to modern standards.
You know, I've heard that, but we've never had complaints from our customers when we did a dns-based switchover, even though we disable the old server almost immediately.

Yes, but an approximation produced by a storage device is just fine for the purpose of downloading files.

Data is data. Downloading files and communicating between Beowulf clusters is more similar than different.

I wonder whether there's a minus sign in front of the six figures?

It's not actually scan-line-interleave.
To most people, SLI means "more than one graphics card, working together to produce a single image".
You know, it's pretty disingenuous to call it PenguiNet if it's not Free or open-source software.
Right. I was comparing the way that advertising clauses can accumulate to the way back-cover texts can accumulate. And heck, I was making a joke.

Have a look at the Vim license: They say "It is compatible with the GPL, by an explicit conversion clause."
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
Clearly, if the CeCILL license contains the same kind of clause, it too is GPL-compatible. End of story.

When I was a military journalist...
Cool. We need more military journalists. Let's see if Darl still lies through his teeth with an AK-47 in his face...

Maybe it's German for Output?
Not actually that useful. They don't mention smart pointers in the memory management section. They claim C++ has no string type. Not good.

Sure, CDs existed in 1984. What about CD-ROMs? The original Mac sure didn't support 'em, and Apple was an "early enthusiast".
20 years ago, there was no such thing as a CD-ROM...
You know, I've heard that, but we've never had complaints from our customers when we did a dns-based switchover, even though we disable the old server almost immediately.
DNS caching is configurable. If you know changes are coming soon, you can change your time-to-live (ttl) to 5 minutes.
When your new ttl has propogated to everyone, you can make your changes, which will apply in 5 minutes, then restore the old ttl.
These sorts of changes are not as easy to make with an external DNS provider, though they can be done.
No one's planning on rewriting all of GNOME either. That's why they're emphasising languages that can be used for icremental transistion.
I think you missed the "are you borderline retarded" post. It was modded "Troll -1".
