What do you mean with "fail"? A DVD is physically compatible with a CD, should a CD-Drive also not "fail" to play it?
Anyway, those not-CDs are designed not to work with the drives, you can not blame the drives for that, nor those who build them into their computers (or other devices like some players). You have to put the blame on the makers of the not-CDs.
How the hell is Apple supposed to know before the not-CDs appear on the market that they will not be compatible with the drive they choose? Next you will tell us that Apple is responsible for Macs damaged by the earthquake, because they should have forseen it.
Articles (A) and (B) (both in German, with pictures). Simply use a felt tip pen or a Post It (may come lose, so watch out) to cover up the start of the "bad" track. Currently works with all CD copy protection systems but "MediaCloq", including "Cactus Data Shield" and "Key2Audio" (the one Sony uses).
Let's ignore for a moment that Intel doesn't mind making money with the compiler (and the other SW development tools like VTune). Most of the speed-up of the compiler does not come from processor specific optimizations, but from general ones (as can be seen by speed-up for Athlons). So if Intel opened the source, they'ld lose the edge over AMD or even other ISAs.
The options used for compiling were: [...]
icc -O3 -axK -ipo .
Article (in German) describing the bug in vers. 5.5 of the compiler. In short: when using the "inter procedural optimization" ompimization, the compiler would sometimes generate faulty code, as an example they give POV-Ray rendering tinted images.
Do your own research. If you find something to back up your silly opinion, feel free to post it. Exit polls can be made to mean anything, esp. when they are as "good" as those pre-election polls. The fact remains, this election's first round had the lowest turnout ever.
Ahh, but he did invent the Klingon language (while being drunk). At least that's what he claimed in an interview once - while being drunk too, I guess;-)
It's special in that it doesn't work on any objects on the screen. Though in can see why it is "start"ling. While we're at it, why can't you turn of a Windows computer from "My Computer"?
Which don't show that Le Pen got 4,804,713 votes this election and 4,565,946 last election (1995), which means he got 238,767 votes more this election which is a whopping 5% increase.
Now tell me why you didn't find them, or better yet, why you should be allowed to vote under the election system you propose.
A) In this election only 72.8% of eligible voters voted.
B) Only 17.2% of those voted for Le Pen, who came in second.
C) The "expected" second, Jospin, came in third with 15.85%, while Chirac got 19.4%.
D) The other 13 candidates got 47,55% of votes.
So Le Pen got into the second round, because there were more apathetic voters than usual, and more candidates than usual (of which there were only 2 extreme rights to split votes between, but 5 from the currently governing left coalition and 5 from the conservative opposition block). The dedicated voters (about as much as in the last election) got Le Pen in, and the "protest" voters (both those who voted for the coalition partners or extremists lefts, and those who didn't vote) got Jospin out of the race.
Halo for Xbox is supposed to sell 5 million copies at least? Even if it was bundled with every Xbox (which it isn't), the Xbox is a bomb, it may not sell 5 million in its first year.

Duh. That disc is much smaller than a CD.

Are you sure about that? In almost all tests I've seen, the Intel compiler takes longer to compile something, often several times longer.

That is because - Steve Austin is the 6 million pound man!
Since I want of my Karma-Kap too, I'll also agree with you. Well, sort off. This is more interesting to me than most of Ask Slashdot.

This should be moot with QT 6 - plays MPEG2 in the QT-Player. OTOH you won't get full screen without QTPro :-(

Now all they have to do is combining that technology with CPUs. Cool running processors that light up your computer from inside! Sombody call Apple ;-)
What are you, a moron? Do you think I made up these numbers? Can't your feeble, little, anti-democratic mind take the truth?
Hrrm, is the development speed of HURD so slow because it's a microkernel? ;-)

Of course it doesn't use GPS, its main use is inside houses - no GPS reception there.

The rabbit was/is one problem in Australia, but the cane toad is much worse.
Unless you meant Macromedia makes versions of it's software only for PCs, there's nothing new here.
As for Quicktime on OS X - what the hell is that supposed to prove? That you can't do anything (including multimedia) without QT?
And in a year you will start wondering: "Why is there still no Flash MX player for Linux. Could it be - SATAN?"
Hrrm, AFAIK neither Real nor WMP for Mac require Quicktime.
