That's a pretty silly prediction. What's more likely to happen is that dual, quad, octa-core CPUs will be marketed to the general public. Progress will be made faster at integrating cores together than it will be at making individual cores faster. Plus, a cheaper Barton core could be thrown together into a quad-core chip, letting companies capitalize on mature technology for budget applications.
It shouldn't fucking matter what he has to say about it. He didn't write it. He didn't all but put it into the public domain (in writing!). He wasn't the one who lifted it from the Carter folk song.
Decendents contribute nothing, inheritance should be taxed and copyrights should be non-transferrable, and expire on death.
Ad blocking is something caused by a social dynamic, and as such appeals for single individuals to unblock ads in order to "save the site" are utterly futile. It makes zero difference. People hate ads.
Five people listening to you isn't going to save the web advertising industry any more than me convincing (at great personal effort, mind you) five people to stop pirating Photoshop is going to see a noticeable increase in revenues for Adobe. It is not a statistically significant number, and all it ends up doing is hurting the individuals.
Lastly, on the subject of "innovation". You know those piracy statistics software companies put out, so they can point to them and say "This is why software prices are so high! Piracy!"? Please tell me, have you ever heard of a company dropping prices because their sales went up?! The very thought of it is insane.
Piracy, like ad blocking, in the end, is caused by social dynamics that no single invididual bucking a trend could ever hope to reverse.
No matter how much I hate/ads/, a DDoS should not be tolerated no matter to whom it's directed.
Sorry man, in the days of the DMCA, INDUCE, and PATRIOT acts, I'll take my poetic justice wherever I can get it. I applaud this for the same reason I applaud thieves getting their asses hauled into prison, because they damn well deserve it, regardless of whether forced confinement is "wrong" or not.
Seriously, Slashdot needs to shape up, or stop trying to be a news site. This happened yesterday. If you can't get your editors to greenlight stories faster than 24hours in advance, let subscribers do it like Fark does.
Occaisionally the slashdot homepage will not fully render in Firefox. It will appear blank except for images until a reload or two is done. The comments pages also tend to be text-biased too far left on occaision, rendering the comments' text a bit into the Sections and help left-sidebar. This is also fixed after three or four reloads.
Lament all you like, but your country gets precisely the president it deserves. And when people try to unite to change this, you heckle them down and call them whiners. Nobody can get popular support but the two incumbent parties, and nothing will ever change.
In the timeline of Ancient Rome, your country is firmly in the Byzantine era of decadence, apathy, and corruption.
Presumably she also wants us all to live in a utopian world without government or money, where people are nice to each other from the goodness of their hearts?
What she really says is, "What, they're spending $15 billion on that when $2,000 would clear up all my outstanding debt?!" And she's against it for that reason. So people are always going to be against spending any amount of money unless it addresses their own immediate needs.
Yes, thank you for keeping that massive Chinese navy off the west coast at bay. Otherwise we'd need to dispatch our canoe death squad and vicious trained polar bears.
As a Canadian in the IT industry, I'd be glad to see more jobs coming here, definitely. There really is very little difference between Americans and Canadians, besides cultural and political systems. None of that plays into how you sound over the phone, or how well you code.
Canada really is the ideal place for US companies to outsource. If you have a Roadrunner cable modem and have ever called tech support, chances are you've been talking to someone at a local Ottawa firm called Convergys. I bet you never knew it, either.

Saturn Hailstorm

· Score: 5, Informative
From the article:
Each time a dust particle hit Cassini, the impact produced a puff of plasma--a tiny cloud of ionized gas. Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument was able to count these clouds; there were as many as 680 puffs per second. "We converted these into audible sounds that resemble hail hitting a tin roof," says Gurnett, the intrument's principal investigator.
The term "mal" is French. I cannot believe, as a patriotic citizen, that you would endorse or condone the use of language from the mouths of the Republic's enemies! Traitor! This is not the act of a respectful, honorable, patriotic citizen. You will be punished for this act of treason, let me assure you.
IF you can lift it off the desk, you should have access to it. The router's password should be it's S/N, period. No fancy measures or bells and whistles.
People who drive those things are morons, sure. But it's their pocketbooks. If you don't like it, don't drive them... Trust me, their stupidity is costing them.
I'm not surprised some moron doesn't know his units, especially when it's mentioned in the article and placed in its proper notation. I'm surprised the EDITORS refuse to change it to be factual.
DS9 was the best series, hands down. Sisko, the main character, confessed to cold-blooded murder, and says to the camera that he'd do it again. Where else in trek have you seen that without some kind of sickening remorse trailer at the end with a huggy-huggy moral lesson?
You're attracted by the flashy graphics and dime-a-dozen half naked chicks. Fine. Some of us want that, and a decent storyline too. The fact that people like you are in the majority are the main factor contributing to the suckiness of trek today.

For some reason, shit.slashdot.org works instead of it.slashdot.org. Try it. It's rather amusing, and fitting also.

"it don't take much to reach that point."
Doesn't. And with regard to your point, I think you just proved it yourself.

I've never understood this. How is our standard of living lower? We have everything you do.

Order me a Radeon 9800 Pro while you're at it. :)
They were recording plasma, not actual sound.

Why are you so afraid of having an oral swab?
I suppose you could buy like five gigs of ram and put the image to be burnt onto a ramdisk. That would help.
Hey, if you can afford a 16x drive, you can probably afford oodles of ram too.

And the small-minded crowd needs to validate itself by bragging about dick size. That's something little kids do. Who's more immature?
