It looks like the writer hands over the big V to MS. I can't disagree with him more. First of all, c# clearly looks like ms copied Java and put in their nuances, it's still plagiarism. I could go out and create a new language; call it "Cheddar", add in "Checked Exceptions" from Java; and claim it's the far superior language to both Java and C#. The truth is, Java is a fine language and idea, good enough for MS to consider a "Disrupter technology", and basically invented C# to (in the words of Bill) "Undermine Java".
The writer totally discounts the value of Java's far greater "maturity" as evidenced by the much more extensive container class libraries. These libraries aren't more extensive because somebody at Sun was smarter, no, Java simply has the jump on C# and its maturity shows. I'm not going to throw away my confidence in Java for some Johnnycomelately knock off. And oh by the way, I've got 14 years of C++, and don't miss anything about it with Java.
Agree with the Dog idea.
We've got two.
Ridgeback's come from Mastiff stock. But, they can hold their own with a Lion. Also, we only feed each one 4 cups per day of dry food. I doubt Mastiffs eat much more than that. And, our dogs even gain weight on this diet.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to make a bigger deal when this thing is four thousand four years old? Or perhaps, when it turns 44?
I've been waiting for the year 2015 to be the first poster with the story. I was really looking forward to all the extra karma gained with the mod ups.
Dang, foiled again.

We ask why isn't this currently in use? The simple answer is that the pace of innovation in the chips themselves far outpaces the demand for newer cooling methods. Sure the newer chips generate more heat, but we're talking millions more transistors, but now each of these transistors in generating far less heat.
There are many side effect though, of putting Hydrogen in our cars. For instance, everyone knows that our cars will travel much lighter, reducing the all important traction our ABS systems rely on to "Break for Animals".
You see, now PETA will now be in bed with the fossil fuel corps...

Whatever your solution is, I think you'll also need quite a beowolf cluster of pc's to tell you exactly what you've captured on camera.
The figure you gave is for 8bit greyscale. Wow, 256 different shades of you know what 30 times per second times 1000+ camera... Holy Geez, that's big time. Which means, you're gonna need a bigtime solution. No, managing 1000 computers will not do. Think about it, it'd take 1 dude (or temp? nah gonna happen) per 5 computers. 200 dudes just do shove removable media in each day. Sheesh. 200 * 50k/year salary = $10Million just to pay to poor saps humping to each computer. You need a large scale EMC solution, you'll probably pay at least $50M for starters, at least you won't be hiring 200 temps.
EMC will sell you a system of 1000 100Gig each with 100Gig drives. So you get some better compression, and you buy about 3,650 of these per year.... Hmmm, maybe the $10M payroll doesn't sound so bad.
Any serious work would be done in Oracle. Yeah, I know, I know (db2? Sybase?)... But seriously, I've got it up and running under Linux and it has everything. Connection times are no problem with connection pooling. Java Servlets make it very nice.
I tried to do all of this with mySQL wholeheartedly, and couldn't get anywhere. Once you've had full SQL support, you can just never go back.
My favorite isn't so much obfuscated code, but hair-brained.. I've actually seen this by paid contract programmers......
String getLetter( int index ){
String [] x = { "A", "B", "C", "D" };

if ( i == 0 && index ==0 )
return "A";
else if ( i == 1 && index == 1 )
return "B";
else if ( i == 2 && index == 2 )
return "C";
else if ( i ==3 && index == 3 )
return "D";
Reminds me of the court battle cities actually did win, that would allow them to tax any communications traffic going through cables laid within their jurisdictions. They were actually thinking about taxing per-square foot, as a way to come up with a "sensible" tax assessment, knowing full well they had no idea the value of the commerce flowing in the fiber, and copper.
I have always believed that after the 0-gravity novelty wears off you would be quite bored.
Mmmm, check, isn't it more like 0.16666 gravity. In fact, there's enough gravity on the moon that you couldn't jump off of it, or better yet, throw a baseball off of it.
This book sounds like an overview of 1/4 of my E.E. degree.
I think the most relevant, and or, widely misunderstood things is the theory of what information actually is in terms if bits. Which basically gives a theoretical limit on how much we can compress things.

Not to mention the fact that it isn't even a chord. It's a single note, with some light vibrato and in my mind, some tremelo as well.
Did they have the soundtrak to "Sweat'n to the Oldies" blaring in the background?

I imagine the easiest way is to practically go out into outer-space first, then accelerate un-encombererd, then re-enter at Mach-5

1.5 Meters is "rated", meaning, they practically gurantee it won't break at that height. Your latter "anectdote" is just that, an anecdote.

Funny, I downloaded this from gnutella, along with "The Streak."
Better yet, listen to some truly original radio by The Man of a Thousand Voices
You'll be ??? for a few days, then become part of the ???? I won't say.
Not much else to say for radio except that it's the "Methadone Metronome" like TV.

Everyone uses a radio to get talk like The Man of a Thousand Voices or O&A's WOW! WOW! WOW!.
For music we listen to whatever we've downloaded from gnutella.
Gee, maybe this will force some jocks to actually think, and play a song that isn't on some moronic, hypnotyzing playlist.
