There's no guarentee that the sound you put into the phone is the exact same you get out. That means that decent-bandwidth digital will generally sound better. However, regular phones are decent enough for what they do. Still, if they were replaced with digital, they would probably sound better.
Analog may have the "whole wave", but with digital you always get the exact signal that was sent. If you record a sound without any background hiss and play it back digitally, you'll get the same clear sound. With analog, there's no guarentee of anything.
Sure, a perfect vinyl record may theoretically sound better than a CD, but when was the last time you saw a perfect vinyl record?
I believe he meant for all of Linux, not just the kernel. Note that many distros (Redhat and Debian at least, don't know about others) have their own bug databases.
Relativity states that as the speed of matter approaches light speed, the mass of the matter approaches infinity. Since light moves at light speed, if it had any mass at all, it would have infinite mass. There are obviously some problems with that.
A photon represents energy, which has no mass. Energy can be comverted into matter, and vice versa. That's what happens in atomic bombs (among many other places). It's also what Einstein's equation e=mc^2 is about. The energy in a proton could theoretically be converted into an infitesimal amount of matter, which would have mass. However, it would then cease to be a photon.
I wouldn't be too impressed by the PS3's numbers. It all depends on the types of computations involved - my Radeon 9700 is easily 100 times faster than a p4 at some 3d-type stuff (matrix math would be one example, IIRC). I highly doubt that the PS3 is going to be the equivilent of a 250Ghz p4.
They were referring to the screen size, not resolution. And a lot of people like to see the keyboard, either because they can't type well (many people can't) or because they're trying to pull off some weird fn-key combination.
So how would you prefer your MDI done? Would you rather have to go to the Window menu and scroll to whatever document you want? Or would you rather move between windows with keys, just like all Gecko-based tabbed browsers allow you to do?
When I first heard about tabs, I thought the same thing. However, once I got used to them, I couldn't live without them.
First of all, tabs don't clutter the taskbar. This doesn't really apply to OS X, but in general, it's nice. 1 "Mozilla" window with labeled tabs is better than "M..." "M..." "M...", etc. Not only does the lack of tabs keep you from telling your pages apart, ir also makes it difficult to identify other programs you have open, cause they're all contracted. Tabs make it much easier to find what you want.
Also, tabs make it really easy to open links in the background. With a three button mouse, you can set up Mozilla and friends to open a new tab when you middle click a link. This means you can go down a page, click all the links that look cool, and then go visit them, without returning to the original page each time. Without tabs, you have to either right-click, "open in new window", and then return to your previous window - three times the work.
Another good aspect of tabs is popups. If (for whatever reason), you haven't disabled them, tabbed popups are much nicer than windowed ones. They don't pop up in your face, or go hide as popunders. You just see a new tab added to the bar, which you can close at your leisure.
Finally, there's no such thing as a "stack of tabs". Every tab takes up the full window. This is what really irritates me about IE - each new window opens unmaximized, even if the parent is maximized. This means that every time I open a window, I have to manually maximize it. Tabs have no such problem.
DES uses symmetrical keys, and RSA uses asymmetrical keys. The two are not in any way comparable. A 1024-bit RSA key is (IIRC) about as secure as a 128-bit symmetrical (IDEA, Blowfish, AES) key.
However, don't assume that Moore's law will hold for three thousand years. I'd be surprised if it lasts another ten (barring quantum computers).
2.1. Invent time machine
2.2. Go back to before the time of the Karma Cap
2.3. Whore madly for karma
2.4. Leave the account dormant until now
2.5. Sell 300-karma account on eBay to an infamous troll
3. Profit!!!
The private key isn't exactly painted in bright lettering on the inside of the case. In fact, it's not in the Xbox at all. There's only the public key, which is known, and can (theoretically) be cracked to yield the private key.

There is no OpenOffice the app. It's called OpenOffice.org. Look it up.
make
su -c 'make install'
What's so messy about that?

Mozilla also supports any favicon format. However, I assume /. uses .ico for IE compatibility. Besides, it's just an icon, JPEG is sorta overkill.
Read slashdot in nested mode, as the good Lord intended.

So KHTML doesn't work on x86. Right.

That's what ti-89's are for. :-)
And you think you could afford that? :-)
To distinguish yourself as a programmer you just have to be really good. It's the same as in any field.
I had one in September, so it's been four months at least.
