The Linux PS3 never rendered a 3 million polygons scene in real-time, it decomposed the scenes into batchs that were dispatched to blades to do the rendering and the result brought back to the PS3. It's written clearly in the article, please read it before you post about it.
Both Switzerland Germany have a very extensive rail service that makes a profit.
It can be done, but clearly it won't work if it's not done right.
Think about it, a train from LA to San Diego / North California, no need to stay in traffic for hours, save on gas, save on car maintenance, save on traffic accidents, save on nerves getting stretched while waiting in traffic,...
It makes so much sense, what doesn't make sense is the american people's love for traffic.
Yet another (promised?) feature they could not deliver.
??? This is in Vista
thought for a second that they required admin access to activate MMCSS; but upon a second reading, it looks like they've merely reimplemented nice with some kind of setuid root service.
"nice" as you call it has been in NT since its conception. He's talking about multimedia specific scheduling related to I/O operations here, you might want to read this whole document a 3rd time, he's not talking about "regular" kernel scheduling of threads/processes, he's talking about scheduling based on I/O needs which is a whole different beast.
If you weren't such a retard maybe you'd understand that the OS level required is specified by the admin depending on what he wants to allow on his network, not by MS.
But that would be too much to ask of you wouldn't it ?
Wrong, after being hired, if you actually knew what you're talking about instead of being one of these retards who criticize anything that has the Microsoft name attached to it, you'd know that since these papers are all publicly available and bear the Microsoft Research name.
A) NTFS features are public, the code is not, do some research B) You can plug-in an ext2/3fs drive on a Windows system and read it, there are filter drivers for this available, again, do some research before you talk C) When NTFS gets replaced by MS, its replacement will benefit from all its development...
A filesystem which still requires defragmenting? It may have been a decent improvement over FAT 15 years ago, but it's a little long-in-the-tooth now. There's far better filesystems available (ext3, XFS, ZFS, etc.), and many have been available for quite some time (like IBM's JFS which came on OS/2). Doesn't seem like a big triumph to me in the face of the competition.
If the only complaint you have against NTFS is fragmentation, then you're an idiot who doesn't know a thing about filesystems. Think about the combination between reparse points, streams, journaling,... on regular machines from the supermarket way before anybody else. Oh, and Ext3 is a joke compared to NTFS feature wise.
Huh? You mean like grep, which has been around since the 70s? Or do you mean like machine vision systems, which admittedly are quite advanced and impressive, but certainly don't come from Microsoft.
Like MS making advances in the field of pattern recognition, such as image recognition, speech recognition,... sounds like you don't even know what we're talking about here.
My TI-99/4A had this back in 1981. It was around before this too. There's been lots of research projects (not affiliated with MS) for a very long time dealing with this, such as Festival.
YEAAAYYYHHH !!! And how many do it as well as MS ?
Sorry, but you just sound like an idiot, the fact that the field existed before doesn't mean that MS didn't bring a lot of innovation to it, that should be obvious.
If you actually followed the news a little bit, you'd know that they claim to have 4 million users of XBox Live, far more than any of their competitors...
In Counterstrike you shoot at terrorists, here you do the same, by many accounts Bush is one of the worst terrorists on this planet. Taking Bush down is definitely a positive action for the planet as far as I and many other people are concerned.
You know that statistically, X percent of a population will contract the disease over a specific period of time, so you vaccinate a bunch of people, and you check whether the number of people getting the disease in your group is lower than the average or not.
Even better, not only has the tool to run in administrator mode to work, but additionally, the user has to click "Yes" in a dialog box warning him that this program is touching sensitive parts of the system(that's the UAC part).
Now if that's a security issue, then I guess rm -rf / is an enormous security hole on Unix systems
Actually, if you had read just a little bit about Vista before writing a useless post, you'd know that yes, all this will change under Vista. The administrator account is disabled by default and people will have to use limited accounts.
It never irked them, the TCP/IP stack in Windows 2000/XP/WS03 is 100% MS code.
It's always fun to see people who can't make the difference between TCP/IP utilities like ping, ftp,...(who have BSD code) and a TCP/IP stack(which is 100% MS code) make fun of MS engineers.
Maybe you should go re-read your books about the OSI layers and basic networking.
The thing is, the people who wrote this TCP/IP stack have been working on the existing stacks for the past 4-5 years for most of them, and for some working on TCP/IP for more than 10 years.
There aren't many people in the world who know better than these guys what a TCP/IP stack should look like.
I've worked with most of them in my previous position at MS and these people are sharp, very sharp.
And needless to say, all existing attacks which the previous stack was protected against are taken care of in the new stack, they didn't erase their existing test suites when they started writing the new stack.
1) On Windows you can have the shell of your choice, and this download is a proof, it's a _download_, hence an additional shell you can choose to install or not, or use another one 2) You can use the language of your choice with bash ? How can you write a bash script in C++ ? I was never was able to do that.
As for Windows fumbling around with basic lessons, my guess is that, like the shells, you've no clue about Windows internals and architecture.
Hint: the people who designed the architecture of the NT line were behind VMS, they really don't need people like you to explain them basics of OS design, nor do they need help from Unix people.
I'd venture to say you didn't get a very accurate picture of the attitudes of the average Jordanian or Syrian (who likely is barely literate in his own language, and has no secondary education or meaningful exposure to a humanist worldview.)
I'd venture to say you have a very inaccurate picture of the average arab, you know, there are schools and universities in Jordan and Syria. They're not all peasants, the litteracy level in Jordan is over 90%
It doesn't mean all schools compare to Berkeley or Stanford, but it's much better than you think.
It's also true that these "civilians" that are killed aren't all that innocent. The people around terrorists know who they are. That they don't turn them in makes them as guilty as the people they harbor.
Correct, and in Israel where all adults(men and women) are soldiers, hence oppressors of the palestinians, all israeli adults should be a valid military target then. And the other people in the restaurant know who these people are, it makes them as guility as the people they harbor.
A could get a pointer to a struct from B(the old B), A doesn't need to know the format of of the struct, and A pass that pointer to C(the new C). However in the meantime, the internal format of the struct has changed, end result, it blows up because B and C have different understanding of the struct format, even though nothing external has changed.
This article was written by Nicholas Blachford, the same fool who tried to analyze the Cell processor of the PS3 and described it as a supercomputer on a desk while not understanding a single thing about it.
Seriously, it's worth a read for the laugh, but there's nothing worth believing in it, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

The problem would instead be that you don't know a dime about what MS Research does and talk out of your ass.
They're one of the most recognized research lab in the CS world, with plenty of awards and publicly available papers proving it.
Maybe next time you should do some research before talking about something...

You forgot to count Israeli terrorism (shooting at unarmed civilians in palestinian territories and in south Lebanon)
You also forgot US terrorism.
Islamic terrorists are in very good company with these 2 countries.
What's the difference ?
In Counterstrike you shoot at terrorists, here you do the same, by many accounts Bush is one of the worst terrorists on this planet.
Taking Bush down is definitely a positive action for the planet as far as I and many other people are concerned.
Oh no, they do it _before_ shooting at them.
That's what then Defense minister Ytzak Rabin publicly asked them to do to try to repell the 1st intifada.
It wasn't even a rogue soldier, it was a public call from the Defense minister.

Given that 95% of the free tools available on Linux are available on Windows, me think that you've no idea what you're talking about.
1) On Windows you can have the shell of your choice, and this download is a proof, it's a _download_, hence an additional shell you can choose to install or not, or use another one
2) You can use the language of your choice with bash ? How can you write a bash script in C++ ? I was never was able to do that.

See, your argument works both ways.
Reason #1 doesn't apply, it costs 250$ to submit a driver for signing : https://winqual.microsoft.com/download/WHQLPOLICY. doc
Reason #2 doesn't apply for the same reason
Reason #3 Eh, simply play non-DRMed content then, playing it at low-quality is better than not being able to play it on your Linux box or other
Reason #4 I call that jaleousy
No need for that.
A could get a pointer to a struct from B(the old B), A doesn't need to know the format of of the struct, and A pass that pointer to C(the new C).
However in the meantime, the internal format of the struct has changed, end result, it blows up because B and C have different understanding of the struct format, even though nothing external has changed.
That's wrong.
Example :
Software A uses library B, C and D. Libraries C and D are loaded dynamically at runtime, depending on need
A is running, you update A with a new version including modified libraries B and C
If A tries to load library C after it's been updated, you end up in a bad state : old version of A, with new version of C
End result : You have very big chances of crashing A
