That certanly looks cool:P. Visualy stunning to say the least. The only real problem I see is that so much of what was done (and was new) in the matrix has become cliche. I mean I remember seeing the trailers for the new matrix films and thinkng "I've seen all this before..."
The first time I tried using JDBC was with postgres, It was pretty simple, but I ended up using Accesss (and eventualy MSSQL) for production stuff, simply out of lazyness. I do recall that JDBC seemed to have a lot more capabilites on postgres then on the Microsoft stuff. (like, you could call moveFirst(), moveLast(), etc on resultssets).
But its entirely possible I just don't know what I'm doing. In any event, it seemed to work fine.
Well, I would definitely call the management of Slashdot 'idiotic'. And I certainly don't have much faith in them technically.
MySQL was used for the US census's website, not for their central purpose. I would be very suppressed if they were actually storing the real data in a MySQL database.
And again, MySQL was used for a small part of Yahoo (the finance stuff) not for storing their link catalog.
I remember playing around with Postgres a while ago and looking at the supposed OO features, and quite frankly they didn't seem very impressive at all. Basicaly just 'inheritance' of table structures. I mean... Color me underwhelmed. I can't think of a single reason why you would need this.
It didn't have nearly the same kind of features of true OODBs, What exactly is the use for Postgres's OOness?
The TI calcs are superior in just about every way. Have you ever used a ti92/89? It'll let you through second year calculus without doing any work at all:P
I'd never really looked into Perl before, but after reading through that document, and look at the examples, (both of perl 5 and 6) I can safely say that I will never learn it. My god, what a fucked up language. Most programming languages you can get a pretty good idea what's supposed to be going on just by looking, but with this?? Half of it looks like Asian smilies $^_+ WTF!?
It may be easy to write, but god, isn't there somthing to be said about being able to read a PL?
Macs are great, cuz you can do deep, intuitive modifications of every part of the OS, from the layout of dialog boxes to the language of menus just by screwing around with various resource forks
Of course, you can do the same thing in windows...
MSN is one of the biggest 'comercial wastelands' on the internet today. It's almost completly worthless for anything other then the kind of brainless fluff they show on network TV and AOL. Nothing but stcok prices and lame, uncontravercial news.
I'd be interested to see how a quackified exe performed on NVidia's chipset
Well, then why don't you read the artical...
In closing we would like to say that all the same testing was run on the latest set of NVIDIA DetonatorXP drivers without any of the same issues.
Well, the PS2 already has a CD-ROM drive (duh), and it has USB and firewire ports on it, so you should be able to plug just about any modern PC perphrial into it, provided you've got drivers. There's also a Nice drive bay in back for extensions like Hard drives.
Slashdot Mirror
All this is is a more efficent way to rent a movie. No one is going to pay $15 for these things.

Definetly a flick I'll have to check out.

Rm *.* would only delete files with spaces in the name. You want rm *
Or perhaps the famous rm -rf *
Yeh, If by 'writing' you mean 'copy and pasting other people's work to kuro5hin'
When was the last time you read a comic strip written 50 years ago?
Randy's dad was the one who devided up the furnature. Randy just hacked it so he would get the punchcards :P
me!
Isn't the definition of a 'handheld' something you can fit in your hand? Wouldn't that disqualify something the size of an A4 peice of Paper?
Basicaly what your asking for is a laptop without a keyboard. Not terribly exciting.
I'm all for features up the ass, but most of all give me something I can slip in my pocket without any trouble.
If you're a Moron.
the ti89 has a fullblown CAS. I can use it crunch through tripple integrals as fast as I can type!
TI FOREVER!
:P

I refuse
That woman can't do web design for shit, and I don't equate 'fruty goth' with 'intelegent'. Quite the opposite, really.

Yes, EVERY SINGLE PERSON will want this when they realize what they can do. and they'll gladly pay $400 for the privalage. sure.

Looks like you slashdoted yourself right and proper.
(God do I hate this 20 second rule. You can't be informative in one sentance, then you're a moron)
Why not just use google

I mean Divx, the encoding standard used by most Video pirates out there :) (think MP3 of video)
