Having recently helped somebody through their Post Grad course it may be worth adding some context to this. It's quite common for courses like these to require a student to write a course diary, or in other words a blog post. This is for personal reflection on the material given and to verify with their tutor that they are understanding their lectures and other course materials. The course materials related to the subject will be marked rigorously, but the blog posts will not require the student to maintain a high level of English in their construction.

33 MegaPixel TV in 2015

I saw them demo this live a couple of years ago. It's very impressive, but despite the post title they're not thinking about using it for domestic use any time soon, it's aimed at digital cinema and outdoor events and won't be commercially available till about 2025. What they are proposing is the standard to be ratified by 2015. This was the same company that demo'd HD TV in the early 80s and people thought it was at least 10 years away from being commercially available, they misjudged by over 10 years. They know their technology but not their lead times. Like most companies in this sector.
Don't confuse anti-Bush administration, anti-war or anti-hypocrisy for anti-americanism. The are distinctly different. I'm not anti-american, but I am anti-war and I was on that march in London. And don't go confusing anti-war with pro-saddam either.
So maybe they should be completely "unbiased" like the Rupert Murdoch controlled media channels?
Any plants with flowers are examples of sexual reproduction in plants. The pollen of one flower being transferred to the stamen of another by insects is an example of sexual reproduction.
Genes are combined from two different sets to produce a single gene set and a new seed (now that's sexual).
I'm suprised that the parent post has been labelled flame bait it is nothing of the kind. Logically there should be nothing wrong with eating this artificially grown meat the problem in that sense is purely cultural/instinctive because of it's unnatural origins.
The seperate issue of GM foods being potentially dangerous is a very valid point, but in this case I don't think they are talking about GM'ing (new verb!) the meat just growing it externally. The health risks of externally grown animal proteins have not been explored and there may be dangers there.

Surely it's mysticism if the current meaning of it is lost and ascribed to a religious/superstitious point of view rather than a contemporary rational treatment of the facts.
The roots of religious/mystic/cultish practices usually had some significance at the time that made sense for society and health, but to call it mysticism is perfectly valid if those roots are no longer directly relevant.
Therefore not a troll just a different point of view. All religions are mystic and cultish by definition, don't ascribe a theist or religious point of view to logic, if they were logical they wouldn't be religious they would be scientific.
It probably matters little if your american. "It doesn't matter that we didn't fly first, there's no point changing the history books to fit what actually happened that would be silly!" Making it so that they lose less kudos to another country, by making it less important is cultural xenophobia. It's not important that the Americans got to the moon first because they didn't make it commercially viable.Albert Einstein discovering relativity wasn't important because he didn't make it commercially viable.
Are you suggesting that New Zealand is in Africa, you really should look at an atlas one of these days. Oh and by the way "call me a racist, but I swear I'm not" is a sure sign that you are going to be both racist and ignorant.
You absolute fool! The problem of a major energy source that all countries rely on, ties those economies to a non-sustainable resource, and leads to a anti-competitive energy market. The oil companies have been running an apparantly legal cartel for years. Once this yoke is removed and there is a wider availibility of sustainable energy, ones that developing countries will have access to, a worldwide prosperity will occur as oppossed to a focused oligarchy based on concentration of wealth as we have at the moment. No I'm not a communist, I would just like a proper free market as oppossed to the under hand corporate controlled world we have at the moment.
There seems to be a real problem with techies choosing performance over conformance. I'll admit that tomcat is not the quickest. But it's cheaper, conforms better to standards and you will have no problem getting community support for it.
Marginal performance benchmarks on app servers are rarely the biggest issue. The thing slows down more because of bad application code than implementation of the container.
BEA may go 10% faster (probably 10% slower anyway), but that's not the main issue.
Think sustainable standard interfaces (conformance) it'll save you money in the long run.
As most techies are lazy, and a few of those need to lose a few pounds, are there any good techiques and ingredients to start experimenting with.
Food that's veggie and tasty (no they're not mutially exclusive) that your normally rib-eye steak munching techie would be happy to eat and might even make them live a little longer, or...going out on a limb here... leave his/her chair and get a bit of exercise.
Vegitarian food is definitely on the increase, a good deal of this is due to health, as well as animal welfare. Within a large part of a lazy veggie diet there is a great deal of cheese and other fats. Most food that is deemed healthy uses white meat e.g. chicken and fish.
I personally like cooking but don't always have the time, laziness again. Are there simple methods for low fat cooking that doesn't involve the use of white meats.
I'm not entirely sure if this qualifies but the use of black and white mask images in cinematography has been around about as long as computers have. Okay it's not digital but commercial computer graphics companies have also been using these technique for years.
just a perl script that tail -f the update log, and it's not a problem to maintain state if you store which was the last statement executed.
The perl script can take out irrelevant data and pipe it across the network to a waiting daemon. or you could share the update log and tail it on the client.
If you're using jserv and apache then it allows you to use multiple front end servers e.g. round robin DNS. and multiple backend JServ engines.
If you want to cluster multiple SQL servers, then you can have multiple read only mysql servers and one write mysql server which updates the other mysql servers from the update log. Your DB code would have to be aware of the read and write DB servers.
As for coping with changes if it's interface changes then you need to create you architecture seperating application logic from interface logic. e.g. Servlet (Java) code handling DB intercation and application type logic and an intelligent templating language handling interface (XSL).
This discussion has drifted into how MS is going to kill Linux, like it did Java. Which despite people saying, no it won't happen because it's open source, it can happen and there isn't a thing the open source community can do about it. MS will use open source against itself and do what it has always done, embrace and extend. If MS put in the functionality to run linux binaries ala RPMS and made it easy for MS to compile sources or SRPMS, then it would use the open source software without needing the open source OS. It could then easily extend the libraries to 'enhance functionality'. A lot of developers will of course try and make it so that it only compiles on specific platforms, but because it's open source it won't belong before someone creates an MSRPM of the software.
They won't compete directly but allow windows to do the same things, although they will have a problem with multi-user stuff.

They use toy train set smoke from Hornby, it's non-toxic. Otherwise the insects wouldn't move, they'd probably just suffocate.
You absolute fool!
