If you can't handle raw LaTeX then use LyX or similar. Your argument would only be valid if there was no easy (relatively) GUI apps that outputs LaTeX.
It is a format that has been around for decades and still works well. Can't say the same for certain others that change every few years.
No, GC has never been, and never will be faster than free/malloc. It does gain some advantages since it can move around objects in memory as it does its collection, thus improving cache hits to some extent. Free/malloc on the other hand are some very simple algorithms, cheap and with good general efficiency.
You can argue that Java's GC does give advantages in avoiding cache hits, but saying that it is faster than free/malloc is just plain wrong. It isn't and never will be.
This is exactly what special relativity explains. It's a while since I learnt about it, but afaicr you cannot seperate space and time. And time slows down as you approach the speed of light, changing how you observe the space in the direction of the incoming object. You will never see it approach at 100.9..% the speed of light.
Printing 3D objects is hugh in the design industry. You make a 3D model in maya or whatever, send the file directly to the printer. In an hour or two you got the complete plastic prototype. Hell, you can even have simple mechanical parts readily assembled.
It's a good strategy to prototype in a language that is quick to code in, and easy to change. It's easier to make a stable app in python than C++. You can let other people implement a more efficient client later.
Usually you do not get the best download speeds from seeders, but other peers that are interested in what you got. With good upload speeds you are more likely to be unchoked by fast peers who are downloading from you.
I think he was talking about CPU overhead. Encrypting/decrypting data at high transfer speeds does kinda hog your processor when it could be used for better things.
I hope most of the Slashdot crowd is able to do all the task they choose on any given tool. So we will most likely choose the most powerful, cheapest, politically correct or whatever for the job.
Well, are you for or against preemtive action? Make up your mind, you soft-headed fool.
I guess "preemptive" is a difficult concept to understand. When Poland was invaded, what would have been preempted? Certainly not the invasion of Poland, cause that was already underway.
You can rant all you want, but Google still has a fair use right to your images. They are reduced resolution images and therefor legal for non-commercial use.
Not to mention robot.txt, but that is so obvious it shouldn't need to be mention.
Bugzilla requests requires alot more processing than simple ftp. Doing db queries and generating a webpage compared to pushing a memory mapped file through the network card.

If they didn't care, why do they call us for help?
I don't think smoldering cities in Iraq would impair scientific progress.
But if they added one more they would sell nothing.
There are more uses for computers besides games and spreadsheets. It's not hard to imagine, just try and look beyond your own navel.
Me, I'd really want it for quicker compiles. Think quick 3d rendering of models, etc.
Burn those anonymous cowards, they are nothing but scum anyway.

Public domain doesn't exist anymore, so why does it matter?

"Fluffy Bunny" is a cool name... don't underestimate the fluffy bunnies!
More likely the thin people are more exhausted from an active day, while fat people didn't really do much to have a reason to sleep.
When all you do is sit an watch tv, you don't really need that much sleep to rebuild your body.

Obviously it is 30% of the energy received by the area covered by the new material.

You know, Ctrl-J isn't *that* far from Ctrl-L. If you couldn't even find that then it means you just didn't bother to look. Don't blame FF.
The most logical explanation would be 1) suprnova.org DDos'ing themselves. They want some marketing for their new protocol, right?

Before you start shouting about what this man needs... Atleast read the fscking mail.
I can't find those adverts you are talking about, perhaps you are talking of some other Google image search?

Uhm... the eager young programmers will be on the *wrong* side of the sledgehammer. (Or the right side, depends on how you look at it)
