I personally would prefer a combination of 40xx. Should not take more than 3 ICs, and will work more reliably than the microcontroller, probably take less power and have wider voltage range in operating.
Tcl/Tk, Swing, and (for mathematics) the Matlab GUI served me well (even if the latter one is single-threaded and awkward, its a productive and stable environment).
Tested a similar form factor yesterday in the shop (http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/libretto) and have to say its no so awkward to have additional space for displaying things if you like and or alternatively a keyboard.
-inventory in stores -sign for receiving a packet -ordering food (i live in japan) -return a rented car
So i guess tablets are used where they are practical: a varying limited number of choices where a comparatatively slow input is acceptable
They are not used in places where you neet to type text. And as long as the phase of non-em digitizers dominates the market handwriting recognition will not take over-even then i am sceptical.
A single *atypical* workload as a benchmark, without a full characterization does not make me consider to use a kernel path on my system which is reported in the style of an UFO-sighting....
I wonder if nicing the kernel compilation would have had a similar effect....
So lets forget about the original poster having an personal wrath against a company, of which he does not even specify the type:
-Try Abiword -run the microsoft word viewer (may run under wine) -take the.doc document filter out of OO and use as standalone -use the IBM version of OO -test Libreoffice (if they are in beta and your personal feeling about oracle are so bad that you annoy the Slashdot community with that question, i dont find it out of the way that you help)
I think it will be more about supported configurations etc. in that way it will be easier to swallow depending on a jvm in the core of your product. Having things like "the java update broke sth on a certain configuration" not answered by "congratulations, you problem" IS a plus.
You know, the internet if like pipes; its just like taking a megaphone "do you hear me now" building many pipes to the others ear and shouting..... Thats free speech, isnt it?
Hey this guy infected computers, thus causing damage. Was it politically motivated? Hmmm. Maybe. Sounds to more like he is a prick looking for an cheap excuse to excert some kind of power over others, taking the legitimation for that purely from himself. Like many others seem to do in the USA when it comes to damage political opponents, just they have better lawyers and know the red line better.
Which brings us to the question: if i do not hack servers but pay for servers to make the DDOS, can the DDOS then be considered free speech?
Not blocking it selectively with noscript, flashblock etc. sucks the Battery.

in late 1974 is was just preparing my appearance on the world. Nevertheless the last LISP Program with a real productive use which i wrote is from 2003 or 2004. It was an Autocad Script saving me from drawing 8000 Arcs (sligly varying parameters) by hand.
If the money keeps people building rockets for transporting people to the ISS together instead of rockets for transporting nukes to each other, then yes, i prefer the money to be spent on the ISS and not on building nukes and carrier systems to target each other.
There are some experiments where human attendance may be helpful and learning about long-term spaceflight will be only possible if we come as close as possible to the conditions of a long-term space-mission.
Many adults need a lot of the skills which are trained in math, in their daily life and in their jobs. To believe that math is about learning how to add just shows the mediocre understanding of the guy. In the same way reading a text in literature will not bring me a direct gain of knowledge. Reading literature is not important to learn the literature by heart but to learn how to understand and classify texts and get some basic knowledge about their structure, so that one is not puzzled when the storyline of a TV drama is slightly more complicated than normal. In history its not necessary to remember when Rome was founded, but its helpful to remember that big empires grow and come down with time, and that truth evolves with time.
In math you learn that a problem can be abstracted, and that, using a set of fixed rules problems can be transformed and analyzed, and that, when done right such an approach can reduce the effort to understand and solve a task. Understanding that things like Markov chains exist may help the Manager to ask the right questions. Understanding that there is an algorithm to protect you data helps you to formulate the task. Understanding that complex systems exhibit long-term dynamics help you to understand and ignore when a politician bullshits (e.g. the economy goes up/down *since the election* so it *must* be connected). Understanding probability enables you to understand studies and elections.
All our modern life is built on math. Understanding the pattern of it helps. I am pissed of when people complain that i did not read enough classic literature, but on the other hand done even know basic mathematics known 4000Years ago.
Thats not hiding it in the Hardware. A ROM is software and can be quite easily verified. Hide it in the design of some FSM, reacting on specific sequences, where you can overwrite data in the HWs RAM and control the PCI bus; that will not take more than thousand gates extra (you dont need to be fast) to do it. Unless somebody reverse-engineers the chip in detail, and maybe not even then, it will not be detected. If you do it right, you can even hide which code is necessary to access it.
a) Its more than a small minority of scientists who do not believe in quantum computation, even if being a minority would make a difference in science. Making it sound like these people are a kind of weirdos does not give enough respect to a lot of great minds. There are practical reasons we will collide with and mother nature may hold more more us than we expect. It seems that Quantum mechanics holds for small systems and for massively uniform systems. I, as many others expects that it also holds in the range between, but thats a Hypothesis we are out to test.
b) Entanglement is not created in a distance, but it can be transferred there. This transfer of information and action is governed by the normal limitations (speed of light etc.). There is and own research direction in the field busy about how to use local interactions to distribute entanglement over wide distances. I can *definitely not* transmit information by and entangled state alone. The point is that i A measures and B measures, even if they measure perfectly correlated states , e.g A always measures 1 if B measures 0 and vice versa, they *DO NOT* transmit information.
c) The way in which superconducting systems are mentioned is outright scary. Most superconducting quantum circuits have nothing to do with the way of using superconductors described in the article, which is new and unexplored.
d) I find impossible to talk about quantum computation and only mention decoherence in two lines of 4 pages.
The times when i used not-the-standard-configuration-of-whatever distribution i installed to save memory are gone with my last laptop below 512MB of Ram. If Canonical thinks its easier to maintain it in a different way, fine with me. If it does'nt work i can tune, switch, get into the details and fix it. Until that point i would be happy not to figure out about changes......
If they do weird things, i am happy to use debian again.
Slashdot Mirror
we manage to privatize even that.

I hope it overheats and turns itself off in a controlled way.
That was just for safety. If something goes wrong.... "Blame Canada, blame Canada..."

Never underestimate what the persistence of a 12 year old can do. They may find out how to use a lever.
i see tablet-like devices every day:
-inventory in stores
-sign for receiving a packet
-ordering food (i live in japan)
-return a rented car
So i guess tablets are used where they are practical: a varying limited number of choices where a comparatatively slow input is acceptable

seems a little on the low end. I think the Nokia 6310 from 10 years ago had more.
Very often perceived latency depends more on the program than on the OS. Trying to compensate with scheduling for badly written software is wrong.
The question is: how much performance are you willing to sacrifice for guaranteed low latency?
When doing benchmarks, do them seriously.
okok... i know its phoronix...

The virus scanner asked him whether to delete the files, he clicked "yes" and thats it? So what would should the program have done?

So basically humankind does not have enough problem to solve? We really need to create incredible complicated games to keep our computer busy?
