I hate your attitude, since when does population in terms of software use mean that a platform or a software is dead? Imagine this, is QBASIC dead? Sure, for developers right? But if some company out there is using it, which there are still many using it, and their business depends on it, and it does what it is suppose to do, why should they upgrade? Because people are saying it is dead? Let me ask you a question. Do you know how many QBasic apps are behind some business logic/functions out there? If I say more than 50,000. Will you be surprised? Do you know how many Amiga fans/users are out there? If there are 20,000 of them. That is still a very big user base. So long as they are happy with their OS and can do all that they desire, it is not dead. Whoopie, I use a P90mhz, 40mb, 2gig laptop. All my friends laugh at it and say it is ancient. I just smile, because it meets all my needs! So it's not ancient to me.
I am sorry, but this is so lame. We are now writing games for the future not for the present systems? Plz, that is what made ID great, they could get better performance out of the present systems than their peers could. There are still fine games being made for the present systems by other peeps, graphics is not everything, game play is too!
already a flaw, imagine a 3 lane. i and my friends block the lane with our cars and start doing 20mph, all of a sudden, system detects we are doing 20mph, and flags the limit to 20mph.:D
MIT has more public IP addresses than China. Where does that come from?
Who spent money on building the internet? who has contributed more to the internet?
MIT(US) or China? Imagine if the Internet came from China, would you be suprised to hear that University of Shanghai would have more IP than US? Please, be realistic, it's not like the internet was created on a day, partioned on a day, and MIT given more IP addresses than China, it was a case of first come, first serve.... and the main problem is IPv4. Would this be an issue with IPv6? *YAWNS*
Wow, so if you owe taxes, you are not allowed to pursue your hobbies, watch movies, have cable, buy CDs, buy clothes and ish till you are done paying your tax?

You have to realize, if we had modern equivalents of Alan Turing, such thing might very well be possible. When you predict the future, you do so based on what you can do, most predictions are not made while considering that those in the future could be more dumb...
Lame.... and what if you broke the MBR on a server without a floppy drive but with a CD drive? What will be your only choice. You make it sound like there are computers out there without floppies. I haven't used floppy for 4+ years!
The creators are greedy for profit, their excuse of jacking up prices because of piracy is bull! If they can sell a $5 item for $500, and people will pay, why not?
The consumers likewise are greedy, afterall the best things in life are free, their excuse of stealing because of high cost is bull! If It is worth $50 and you sell it for $25, and they can get it for free with little effort and without getting in trouble with the law, they will do it guilty free!
Greed is the problem, has been with us since the beginning of time, and it is not going away, anytime soon, so wishful thinking.
DUH! What next, Sony reduces the price of PS2 games in Africa by a factor of 100 compared with US! If a the average household income of a country in Africa and China is say $1000. How the heck do you think they are going to buy a $50 game? Be realistic. People pay rent in those countries for say $10-$15 a month. What in the world will justify them to pay $40-$50 for a game? It is not fair to charge them $50 and deprive them, at the same time, yall will feel it is not fair to charge you $50 and charge them $5.
This is all about what the market can afford. Even if there was no piracy, the prices will be far more cheaper, else they will only be selling 100 games a month. China has population, imagine if they can get to sell to 250,000,000 people at only $2. That's some major money right there!
Nah, they don't need routers, Nah, they don't need firewalls. Yup, they can have MacOSX, Win2000, WinNT, Solaris, HPUX, Linux, all BSD, VMS, and all major OS on 50 computers. They should also go to ebay and buy base 10 ethernet cards, cuz what is the use of 100 or fiber networks. I mean the internet is not like that. Redundant servers? Nah! They don't need that, cuz the servers on the internet are not like that! Backup servers? Whoops! They don't need that.
All in one building? Right, cuz that's how the internet is.
I never paid for any book, all the books I read where from the library. I also mentioned it is not enough, you have to incorporate your own techniques which comes with pratice. do you learn to program a computer by reading a book and just a book? no, you actually have to write code! pratice is needed! do you write a program perfectly each time? no, sometimes you make mistakes, and you have to edit/recompile. It is not a random game or a game of number. I did not pay any money for any course, I do not play the numbers game. I understand human beings very well, not just cuz I read, but because I also observed and thought hard about the things I observed. I get laid lots of times, and it is not a numbers game, I don't keep any records of scores or sorth, but I can tell you that I am in the 6-7 out of a 10 hit. I don't ever walk out in the world trying to get laid, I love to work and concentrate on my work, relationship with women is a drain of energy in all ways, but when I am out, and I see a girl I fancy, I walk up to her and more often than not, I close the deal! please believe it.
"The secret is picking your moment. Female redbacks aren't greedy; when they're not hungry, they don't eat. If you offer yourself right after she's feasted, forget it. You've got to wait until she gets that mean and hungry look in all eight of her beady little eyes. And then, for what you are about to receive, may your kiddies be truly thankful."
This is some good advice. The best way to get laid is not to pursue, and not to give a shit. If she's interested, let her chase you down. Hell, make her wait. Then when the time is right, BAM! Crazy, hot, dirty monkey sex.
This is rubbish, women don't have sex and become filled and wait for months to get sex hungry again. If you see a woman out there, you have to actually make the initial approach, this is how it is works! If she is not "hungry", You have to make her hungry, by putting her in such a state! If you don't, another guy will do before you. The best way to get laid is to chase but in such a subtle manner, her being interested is not enough, she has to be comfortable with you, you have to make her feel comfortable, and why would you want to make her wait if she wants it soon?
Anyone who is a serious geek and hacker and who wants to get laid and cannot get laid is not worthy to be called a geek or a hacker. I can understand that some geeks/hackers don't get laid because they devote much time to their projects that they see sex as a waste of resource in terms of time investment, emotional investment, etc... Human beings are computers, meat machines, they accept input using their senses (hearing, seeing, feeling) and they respond with output (feeling, speech, touch). The appropriate input gets you the right output just like any normal functioning computer does.
Humans are not universal machines, they are more complex and the inputs varies based on culture, social class, environment and such, so to program them, one has to be aware of all that. This is nothing more but advanced psychology. How so called geeks and hackers can not pick up books and study this baffles me.
To give some examples, you can use presuppositions so that things you want the girl to do is pre-supposed. Instead of asking, "WILL you like to go out for coffee?" which fetches a yes or no, you ask, "WHERE will you like to go for coffee?" your presupposition is that she wants coffee, if she says, "I don't drink coffee", you go ahead, why they sell milk and juice for the cute little girls like you, lets go! just get them never to say no.
When people communicate you have to find out how they communicte, and use the same method to code back their message to them. some are visual, others auditory, kinesthetic. Example, "What do you think about the movie?" a) It looked beautiful! (b) It was loud! (c) It was moving. now you know where they fall in and use words that they can relate to better, etc, etc.
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) teaches this, and whilst you learn alot from it, I am not going to say that this is the one key, you have to tailor it and adjust it for your environment. What do political leaders, politicians, lawyers, religious leaders have in common? The power of persuasion and to influence. Being a geek/hacker is not an excuse!
I am from Africa, I live in Detroit and have for a while! By the old school definition, I am a hacker, I grok digital eletronics, programming languages, natural languages, I know more assembly langauges than the average geek knows high level languages. I have been a Unix fool for 10yrs shit like that, oh yeah, and I think Python is the ichiban of programming languages. I love to tune 4 cylinder cars and turbocharge them. I am not trying to toot my own horn or whatever, I am just pointing out, that yes, I am a hax0r! w00w00!, anyway! point is that I get laid quite often by beautiful women! I once was a social inept fool, but I had to actually really sit down, read, study myself, others and environments and figure out how to manipulate it. So geeks do have sex lifes. I am still an introvert, but I can still hit the rowdy detroit clubs, dance to gangstar rap, spit the slang of the detroits and close up some fine women for future encounters. So enough of this crap about geeks not being able to get laid, I worry that the more yall say it, the more it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Of course it matters how large it is. It is a DSP, DSP are far smaller than CPUs, so if it is large, you are going to get a CPU the size of a dictionary. Now how much eletricity does it use? How much heat does it generate? These are all things related to size.... and cost of course...._seg
what does processor speed have to do safer space shuttles? it was flawed process. no wonder you are a coward... shuttles are not running on 2Ghz cpus, go read up on them, they stick with quite old proven technologies, just like the car computers on the latest sports car are easily 16mhz.
...because the users are ignorant of the underlying OS, thus tron is not the most popular OS but the most widely deployed OS. With that said, this is a duplicate article from the past, and I am sick of slashdot insulting our intelligence with stupid sensational headlines.
I am developing my current web app with (python/webware/postgresql/apache) on a sparc 4 70mhz, with 2gigs of space. it was the closest hardware around when i started development, it's a pain in the ass, but my fastest hardware is 400mhz anyway, so it doesn't matter.
another is my p60mhz gateway/firewall machine running openbsd.
my current laptop is a p90mhz toshiba 410CDT. slow as heck, just got it a wireless tmobile GSM card, now i have wonder wireless 20kbits/s link.
i have some sparc IPX and sparc 3/80s that I use for test machines, when I need to build an experimental network and such...
Why will you forbid your business partner from using pico if that is what he is familiar with? I know vi very well, but I will not like to be your business partner, If my business partner feels quite comfortable with pico, notepad.exe, or kwrite, they can use it. vi doesn't guarantte any secure protection against wrong editting, i am a hardcore unix geek, but i have matured in a while and i believe in allowing anyone to use the most comfortable tool for the job.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah, doing everything will suck using general purpose algorithms, so to make them not to suck, we develop new vector-oriented algorithms...
sounds like a really childish behaviour to you.
sounds like real politics to me.
a very simple question.
what will be the state of open source today without linux?
I hate your attitude, since when does population in terms of software use mean that a platform or a software is dead? Imagine this, is QBASIC dead? Sure, for developers right?

Do you know how many Amiga fans/users are out there? If there are 20,000 of them. That is still a very big user base. So long as they are happy with their OS and can do all that they desire, it is not dead. Whoopie, I use a P90mhz, 40mb, 2gig laptop. All my friends laugh at it and say it is ancient. I just smile, because it meets all my needs! So it's not ancient to me.
I am sorry, but this is so lame. We are now writing games for the future not for the present systems?

Wow, so if you owe taxes, you are not allowed to pursue your hobbies, watch movies, have cable, buy CDs, buy clothes and ish till you are done paying your tax?
DOH! yall are implying that linxucode is actually equal to sco code.
if linuxcode:
litigate()
That is even more worrisome, you can change your pin, but good luck trying to change your finger print or retina scan data.
