I was fortunately able to work entirely without C for the last 10 years or so
Whoah ! Where people able to understand what you told them ? Like, " 'mon ! hek that web page and ut n' paste the ommon errors !" But that's nothing ! I gave up with all vowels ! (ppl tnd t thnk spk lk n nsct, thgh).
I remember back in 1999 working in a client pc room where IBM mice had 2 buttons and a trackpoint on top of it. Yes, in place of the wheel, a trackpoint. Provided you had the correct driver, it worked quite well. I was disappointed (no pun intended) not to se it elsewhere.
Is it such a bad idea or had IBM some patent on the trackpoint ?
Except that if you have a mostly idle CPU and your task is more & more waiting for the disk to complete, you don't care about 11 or 30 % if the other 89 or 70 % of the CPU are idle.
Comparing CPU cycles needed is NOT a fair benckmark, unless your task is CPU _AND_ IO Bound.(if it's not io bound, take whatever fs you have, it doesn't matter.)
The benchmark was right in giving results as TWO parameters : CPU used and time spent. Might be interesting to see how it depends of the drive type or the CPU arch, though)
Bryce has basic functions. It lacks advanced functions. Yes.
Bryce has a simple interface. Yes. That makes simple things simple to do (my first Sony). That's why I didn't say it had advanced functions.
Add extra features to Brice, add a menu for advanced features. Simple things remain simple. Advanced functions are possible. Magic ? No.
Repeat after me : simple functions need to have a simple UI (there are generally only a few).
Sorry, but on my advanced 8-track cassette recorder (and on Ardour 24 tracks pro audio application BTW) I have the same transport buttons (Play, Stop, FFWD, REW) that on my first Sony. Not a P_KEY for playing, with no menu. Go figure.
wrong. There are simple things in 3D modelling, and those should be simple. See Brice.
I think a good interface (be it a programming language or a GUI) should not ADD complexity to the inherent complexity of a task.
Thus, simple thing should be made simple, repetitive tasks should be quick to do, and numerous other ones should be available without learning/remembering too many ways to do it.
Generally, pick two.
I think blender's UI is good at the last two ones.
This is one example among many where taking race into account
One thing : many ppl here in europe aren't that comfortable with the notion of race, But I think you are more talking about a socioeconomic definition, a culture, than a race.
Imagine a young middle-east guy being adopted & raised by a buddhist family. Besides the reactions of ppl on how he Shall behave because he's from Central America, if you wouldn't have that, how will he behave ? (or a Black Guy in a WASP family)
I guess this kind of comments on races has the wrong vocabulary, it's not about DNA. However, cultural groups are a reality, of course, and the correlation betwen your race/ethnic origin and culture is quite strong, but the false predictions based on that are unfair enough that you shouldn't make any assumption. A database referencing them will be totally unfair. Don't use the race parameter to define what you ought to be. Use culture (eg. religion) without presuming anything from race. (for the sake of efficiency, for the sake of humanity don't make such a DB but that's another history)
This is, I think, up to the data mining program to group ppl into classes from their behaviour, not taking them into an a priori, unfair homogenous group.
This argument doesn't sound right. "It doesn't matter if you have battery life and good games, but NO control pad". Thus, Gameboy has done well because of its control pad. And.
However, it's much more difficult to have good games than decent battery life (which is important).(However, you still can fsck that up, too, and the controller)
Not to sound flamebait, but you're quite right in doing it : giving it the maximum visibility (for example by posting a link to it on a popular news discussion site) will make a few people notice it exists.
in excel, when you want to enter text with a dot with your keypad in a spreadsheet (like I do, since for some countries, where comma is used as a separator, but dot is a shifted key, it's simpler t use the "." numpad), you have a problem because the key which is labelled ".", enters a comma.
Try to explain this to a sensitive person !
I prefer to have a semi intelligent algo which uses either , or . as a separator, but let the key "." enter a damned DOT.

yup, microcode, that is several processor-specific RISC instructions put into a CISC instruction.
Then, RISC perormance and CISC compactness. If you want not to use CISC "huffman compression" , well use cheap instructions.

yes, X has a default font. At least, the font server has and I'm pretty sure it's fixed 10.
for informatin this guys has been doing that since 10 years, outdoor, on falling water. I've seen this big show, pretty impressive.

You know, javacard is the Java spec for smartcards ...

Actually, even a Mandrake has a minimalist install of about 100MB. (only core packages, no X, but you get python, perl+usual suspects)
did you notice that as a x86 processor, C3 can just run fine other (like BeOS for x86 :) )
Vertical disk writing goes from
:
-------
to
|||||||
which is really (you must isolate + from -)
+--++-+-+--+-+
(H string of -+ and +- bits)
to
+-+++--
-+---++
(V string )
which is a 2x increase.
am I right ?

Now, the main question is does it do ogg ?
when providers and standards do not diverge for strategic reasons.
...
On the beginning, 3G UMTS at 3GPP was supposed to be the unifying standard.
Until US & Asia said, damnit, we're not competing with others. Lets fork 3GPP with 3GPP2 or whatever and have our own standard
I guess this is not a technological reason. Like we settled on a worldwide PC hardware standard for untechnical reasons.
because some of us are bored at work.
By RTFA and reading that TRON can run on normal PC. It could also have been the OS of choice for todays peecees if arm-twisting hadn't happened.
Sure, there's google, but there seems to be the TRON OS home page, in english.
Besides, what devices run than OS ? anyone know ?
