  1. Not really meaningful on Linux 2.6.20-rc6 Kernel Performance · · Score: 1

    The values are so close, they should have run it many times to at least get a variance and know if those minor differences are "consistent".

  2. Re:Think outside the xbox. on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 3, Informative

    A good AI algorithm for GO has not yet been discovered. The number of states is extremely high and a board configuration is hard to evaluate, which make it hard to write good (and fast) AI for it.

    Wikipedia has an entire article explaining it in details.

  3. Re:Sounds like a molehill masquerading as a mounta on Microsoft's C++/CLI Spec Has an Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    EDG is the only compiler to support the export keyword on templates, which allows the template definition to be separated from their declarations. It is a feature that is really complicated to implement and that does not seem to worth it.

    I think that is what Mr Sutter meant when he said that EDG based compilers were the only 100% compliant compiler. More information is available on http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill24.htm.

  4. Re:Not right! on Violating A Patent As Moral Choice · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Taiwan's a global citizen and has to look out for everyone, not just selfishly looking after only their own citizens.

    What about "Corporations are global citizens and have to look out for everyone, not just their already too huge profits."
  5. Re:Good Idea, Bad Price on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    Won't the key heat after a couple of hours of usage?

  6. Re:Opera and Firefox [selective figures] on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    Not in ruby. Because this is a dynamic typed language you do not declare variable. So to specify to the interpreter that a variable is a const, you have to name it with uppercases. But you are right for java, c, c++, ...

  7. Re:Haha on Download Your Brain · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The new PlayStation is 1 per cent as powerful as a human brain
    Come on, where does that come from? And even if it was possible, you'd still have to find a person who is willing to give you his body. I think this man has seen/read too many sci-fi movies/books.
    If I'm on an airplane I want the computer to be more terrified of crashing than I am so it does everything to stay in the air until it's supposed to be on the ground.
    Not me, I prefer the computer to do what it is programmed for instead of being frozen by fear :)
  8. Re:.NET on The Lessons of Software Monoculture · · Score: 1
    Given that all the .NET languages boil down to the same compiled runtime "language", and given that C++ is a .NET language, could somebody explain how problems endemic to C/C++ are kept from spreading to all languages in the .NET family?
    C++ dotnet allow you to mix standard (which is not safe) and dotNET C++. "Pure" dotNET c++ is not ANSI conformant (no multiple inheritance, no template support, ...).
  9. Re:The problem with biometrics on Hardware That Recognizes You · · Score: 1

    But it would still be good to impeach children to "play" with it.

  10. Re:Quantum Cryptography on Quantum Cryptography Leaving the Lab · · Score: 5, Informative

    Reading datas alter them. So the man in the middle will be detected. I'm not a professional, but I understood that you have to destroy the photon to read its information.

  11. northwest?? on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 1

    The rover's about 3 feet (1 meter) in front of the lander and facing northwest.

    Does anyone know how they found the orientation of the cardinal points on Mars?

  12. Re:Apparently,you and I live in very different wor on Will Your CD Player Tell on You? · · Score: 1

    Maybe your "common sense" is a non-sens for some other people. I guess all of those you find stupid think the same thing of you. Maybe it's just people don't have the same priorities and values. Just a question of perception.

  13. Re:a little short?? on Secure, Efficient and Easy C programming · · Score: 1

    I think he was saying not learning bad habit from the beginning, so, later, he does not have to un-learn them.
