He also runs around adding links to his blog into articles. Oh, and here's his reaction to the deletion going through yesterday. This guy is an admin. An admin. And the only reaction when you point out all of this is along the lines of "don't make personal attacks or you'll get banned".

Sources found included PC Gamer, Gabe Newell, RPS, Kotaku, Wired, MaximumPC, Edge Magazine, Quake 3, Postal 2, Serious Sam, the UGO network WHICH OMM WAS A MEMBER OF and a host of others. All were ignored. RPS reacted immediately to the news because it's insane, and their article being directly about OMM should assuage even unreasonable demands. Wikipedia absolutely loathes outsiders, though, so who knows if it will be restored?
Same. Though the Aeron is synonymous with failed dotcoms, it actually manages to be worth the price premium. They don't wear out! I've had to replace my ~$150 computer chairs at home once every 2 years - the Aeron at work (which is at least 7 years old) isn't even showing any signs of wear.
You know, I think we both have valid points and the argument could go either way based on contextual data we don't have (unless it's off in a subthread that I haven't read through).
That and the "if all your RAM isn't being used, it's going to waste" crowd. Non sequitur much? Also, it IS going to waste if it isn't being used, hence "free" RAM is used by the OS for disk cache.
Kids, if your ancient BMW breaks down and you don't know how to fix it after a cursory glance, do you toss it in the trash and go buy the cheapest possible replacement Hyundai you can find? Let me fix that lousy, broken analogy: If a room full of BMW mechanics cannot start your car, GET A NEW FUCKING CAR. Believe it or not, not being able to find people who can properly maintain an environment is a liability.
They had the power off to the building earlier in the year and the Tandem folks weren't sure they knew how to power the system on properly - that's how long it had been running. That's the exact reason they're building an updated system, genius.
How hard would it be for a C++ coder to dig into this book?
Should be pretty easy. All the code examples are valid C++. All you need to do is remember that "class" is called "struct" and that you have to mangle your own names.
I'm perfectly fine with you using C++ to shoot yourself in the foot, but don't you dare draw a bead on his.
$1200-1300 was the price tag of SLI 8800GTXs right after they were released. With the 9800gx2 you get almost that much performance with a single slot at half the price. Hell, you can buy SLI 8800GTS 512s (the current price/performance champ) for like $500 and get better performance than a 9800gx2. Quit whinging about how the absolute bleeding edge is unaffordable, asshole.

"Building consensus" here means "editor clique agrees with one another, ignores everyone else, calls them names."

This model makes the CEO's secretary just as or more important than the CEO.
Can a string theorist explain why this won't work?, in simple terms please.
Sun big and hot. Reactor small and hot. Big hot better than small hot. String work better that way.

What I'd like to see is Kurzweil predict a new version of the K2600. Preferably one that doesn't cost $4000.
For I am but a head in a rusty metal box.

Actually, the Giger is a unit of grotesquery equal to three ISO standard Hieronymous Boschs.

You know what I, personally, hate? Literal replies to facetious internet posts.
WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?
Fantastic posts! I'd never heard of that gold alloy example before.
That's not a gradient. It's a binary transition from martensite to pearlite. Still, I agree that the idea is not exactly earth-shattering. In fact, my kneejerk reaction was "duh".
Amazon just has a very interesting service architecture. This is why you keep seeing articles all over the place about it.
