SQLite has very good architecture, code (fully and relevantly commented), documentation and tests. Its bug tracking is also very good. Sure, it is not a very large code base with lots of developers but it is keeping clean in its evolution. Just compare it with Firebird (which has admittedly more features): Firebird code is such a mess, from top (architecture) to bottom (name of variables). I'm not advocating one software above the other, but just saying that comparing both is interesting and shows that it is possible to make good software robust and clean instead of poor and messy.
rumors say tablet, rumors say intel, facts say PPC rules (and used in next-gen consoles), facts say XScale rules, facts say Apple no profit in using Pentium,
sum up all this and you got "Apple presents XScale based tablet"... so simple
and don't forget, facts say world wants rumors about Apple making OSX on x86
Unlike, say, burning a song to a CD and re-ripping it, you don't lose any sound quality when you can access the original data in decrypted form. ... by detecting various forms of watermarking that haven't been removed, because we don't know they are there to be removed.
Well, if there is some kind of watermark then it is "woven" into the data, by definition. So decrypting an Apple encoded song will not give you the same file as you would get when encoding it by yourself from the original CD. Sure, nobody could hear the difference (even your dog).
The question is: do you want to be able to remove the watermark (sounds very hard to me because we can't reverse engineer Apple's encoding) or to slightly distort the stream (watermark attack) in order to prevent watermark decoding.
Am I the only one to be exhausted by the footprint of Firefox? I've used FF 0.8 as my primary browser on my Win and Lin platforms and it seems that it even has more memory leaks than IE. And I don't know how it handleds cache, but it is all too fat.
Please, no more feature before a decent memory footprint!... then it will be THE browser
Just wrote this for you to urge FF developers to go that way.
In this recent book,
I learned a really clean and elegant multi-paradigm programming language, and bottom-up method for constructing programs with the mozart facility. The language itself (Oz) is constructed and expanded along the book. It is really different from anything I read before.
Although the book goes sometimes deep in the theory, you should be fine with lots of examples because of the simplicity and the power of Oz (yes, it's magic).
And your mom should not be reluctant to math, but you knew it already.
(A preview of the book was discussed on slashdot before its publication in March, so the pdf is no more available)
I am a big supporter of paying money for the intellectual property that _is_ intellectual. Commercial softwares, music, movies, games rarely have those qualities required to deserve my money.
The sad reality is that some perverted companies, majors,... steal (by releasing shit). So some users do what they can to protect their investment from theft. Companies could get philosophical about how P2P infringes upon their duty/loyalty, but if they did NOT fuck us then they wouldn't have this problem.

It was a post about Firefox in general, since Firefox 0.9 (see the changelog) don't resolve the problem.
