I think most people agree Windows 8 UI was a mess, it was a confusing mix up of desktop and tablet UI. It was more one foot in the future and one foot in the past.
Go ahead and try those suggestions with something like Chrominum.
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/c16gosC3wm8
If your suggestions are true, a lot can be gained.
If you are suggesting not using stl, or boost, what do you want people to use?
There is overhead with doing large projects with C++, but as far as I have seen C++ is still the best way to write performance intensive code.
If "programmers" were overpaid and arrogant wouldn't a large group of people want to go out and become programmers because it is easy and highly paid.
That hasn't been the case for the last 10 years and that is why salaries are going up. The market is now just adjusting itself,people are realizing Computer Science could be a good field to be in. If salaries do not stay that way, then people are going into other fields.

Software development is a profession, it takes years of education and experience to do an effective job, and should demand a higher salary.
I have used SmugMug for photo sharing, one of the perks of sharing images with there site is the photo printing. I have always been impressed with their quality and shipping speed. Their prints might cost a bit more, but it seems to be worth it.
I have also had prints made from Shutteryfly, Walmart, Walgreens. I normally use Walmart for when I need one hour prints done. The quality just doesn't seem to compare.
I would also suggest making a Blurb/Shutterfly book. Either site has an easy way to create a book, which is a lot more interesting for people then prints.
Look at pretty much any review of the SLS - AMG, they all pretty much point out how hard it is to deal with Gullwing doors. The doors have issues such as you have to duck to get in and they are hard to close. The doors also have to be explosive incase of a rollover. From the looks of it the Model-X won't even fit in most garages with the doors open. Wonder how you get this in and out of a garage.
I wonder how many of those SUV mall mommies would want s to plugin there SUV all the time just to be able to drive 100 miles.
I can't wait for Jeremy Clarkson to review this Electric Sports Car/SUV with Gull Wing Doors. I am for sure he will have some great superlatives for how amazingly stupid this thing is. This SUV is the answer for the question no one asked.
Processing can be a lot of fun for small projects:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1222641158
Pros:
Cross platform, java based, simple IDE, supports keyboard/mouse input, 2D/3D.
Cons:
Only downside is limited audio support.
I've had pretty bad alergies to dust mites for the past 10 years. I have found a few simple things work the best for controlling my allergies, one of which is a pillow cover. I can notice the difference when I use it, and they easily to clean, hardly noticeable when on a pillow, and not that expensive. I would really suggest ordering a set from any respectable home store. Just keeping the amount of dust down in the bedroom also does wonders. With limited dust the amount of dust mites is reduced. Another key to reducing dust mites is humidity. I try very hard not to sleep in basements or other humid areas. If you dont know what areas are humid, you can get a digital guage at Wal-mart for about 10 bucks. These simple things have worked better then any drug or teatment so I highly recomend it to anyone.
Yes you are correct, but yet wrong. For the simple stuff that doesn't need to run fast it will be easy to port over(and has always been becuase of compilers). The complicated assembly and multithreaded stuff is going to be even harder to port becuase of two completely different multithread designs. The PS3 uses a bunch of weaker processor that have there own arthecture and limitations, and I am guessing are very hard to code for. While the Xbox uses 3 normal processors that should be easier to code for, the task of splitting things thirds is not easy either. Since both of these tasks are going to be hard, porting would require a large amount of time no matter which direction you are going.
Now you may ask why all these complicated designs needed. Games need to run fast, and do a bunch of cool stuff. I assume this becuase I haven't heard of too many people asking to play an ugly slow game on there $300+ game box. This cool stuff takes lots of processing, and to do lots of processing you need a fast processor. Processors are not really getting any faster these days, and they are running out of ideas how to make a single core processor work faster. So now the solution is to put more then one core on a die. This is what the processor manufactures are doing and why the traditionally single threaded full featured core game developers are having problems.
From the review it just basically looks like the last edition but with a little bit added for GLSL. I think most people that are interested have already read the Red Book and many other OpenGL texts so it seems kinda unneeded. What would be really interesting is a book about implementing Shaders in OpenGL or other advance features coming in OpenGL 2.0.
I remeber reading about how the Atari Lynx designers actually totally mocked the Game Boy when it came out. I wonder if History will repeat itself again.
Peter Griffin? What about Stewie Griffin? Stewie would be more interested in googles plan of world domination and development of death rays on the moon then Peter would be. http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html
Since they are making a new better Foo camp why don't they make some improvements.
1. Strippers - (Women with no clothes on)
2. Live Music
3. Beer?,Skip the beer. Open Bar.
4. Lighting stuff on Fire.
5. Fireworks
6. Destruction
7. Weird Costumes
8. Strange forms of transportation
Now that is something I would feel bad about not getting invited to.
Forget games becuase you can just write games in Direct 3d. What about the stuff that OpenGL does that Direct 3d, such as the CAD and scientific areas. OpenGL has a lot of 2d/ line functionality that Direct 3d just sucks at. Not to mention it also destorys the cross platform 3d market. I guess this is just another reason to switch to a MAC.
AMD did make a performance tool called Code Analysthttp://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Develop WithAMD/0,,30_2252_3604,00.html. From the little I have used it, it works great. They also have some good guides on how to improve your performance. AMD isn't up to the same level as Intel with there Developer support, but they have provided some great tools and white papers to help with performance.

Clearly you are in default, you have money.

"It's not like compiling is the time-consuming part anymore" needs a sarcasm tag attached to it. Some people still deal with large compile times.
$1 Mil in Bitcoins is the total daily volume of MtGrox. I am thinking it might take some work to get that many bitcoins in short order.
The new ASIC miners coming out will make GPU mining pointless, CPU mining already is. http://www.butterflylabs.com/

It would be nice if these companies would be putting this time and effort into pushing for / funding more S.T.E.M. education in the US.
Helps with battery life, and can allow you to run other things while playing video without a large performance hit.

I agree that was not inslightful, maybe they need a Dry Humor moderation.

Mine did the same thing, the case really didnt hold up to the constant use.
You can also put 4 dual core processors in a normal 4 socket motherboard to make a 8-way computer. AMD has tons of information on this stuffhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPre ssRoom/0,,51_104_543~94936,00.html
