  1. Re:No, it still won't work. on Analyzing Palladium · · Score: 1

    And, having been reminded of General Dynamics and John Nash, I think this will be an interesting test of his theories at the boundary conditions. If the good of the group is not served, Paladium should fail,

  2. Re:jEdit on Extensible IDEs? · · Score: 1

    happy?

  3. Re:Linux drivers? on Matrox Parhelia Benchmarks and Review · · Score: 1

    Matrox has done a great job supporting linux in the past. lets hope they keep it up.

  4. matrox multi-heading and linux on Matrox Parhelia Benchmarks and Review · · Score: 1

    I have had a Matrox G400card for a few years, I love the dual heading, currently run two 17 inch monitors, and especially the easy setup utility for Xfree86 that Matrox provides on their site, getting the whole setup working under Redhat 7.2 / KDE was no harder than win2k. When I upgrade, or buy a new box, I will probably get the parhelia if my budget allows.

  5. Re:Ok, let's think this through on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, but what about pr0n? I have no idea how much bandwidth p2p filesharing of pr0n consumes, but I would imagine it is much higher than mp3s.

  6. Re:jEdit on Extensible IDEs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have used jEdit since 3.2, on NT, and GNU/Linux and it is definitely a very expandable, configurable solution. I have had some configuration issues and plugin compatibility problems, but I tend to stay quite close to the head. Slava Pestov and all of the jEdit community deserve a big thank you!

  7. Re:what about heat? on A "Black Box" For Space Debris? · · Score: 1

    I am not an expert, but if I recall correctly, an erratic electromagnetic field is generated around an object re-entering the atmosphere, requiring a powerfull transmitter to generate a signal that would be usefull. Another challenge would be spin.

  8. who else? on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 1

    Has any country, other than USA successfully landed on the moon?

  9. Re:This will push development the tech we really n on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 1

    now why would the earth want to kill us off?

  10. XP on Making Software Suck Less · · Score: 2
    I have been working on an XP project for the last few months, and I have some words of free advice to anyone who reads up on xp and believes it to be a magic bullet...
    • There are no magic bullets.
    • XP works best with smaller teams, up to about 10 developers.
    • everyone on the project, clients, anal_ists, management, developers has to buy into XP to make it work.
    • Unit tests are vital
  11. reminder on moore's law on A Well-Chilled 750GHz Feasible Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Moore's law (or estimation,) states that "the processing power you can buy for a thousand dollars will double every year" (It has been revised to every nine months, I believe.)

    You won't be buying one of these for a grand anytime soon. If anything this falls right into Moore's law, figuring a decade or so for the price to drop.
