And I still think that the Houston Texans football team should have been called the Houston Mooners to go with the space theme of all the other sports teams in Houston.
Here's my all time favorite blog and the last comment he made "that made sense" was on Saturday, April 10, 2004, where he said that he was taking a hiatus.
Read it if you haven't already, it will engulf you. It gives a unique perspective on the Iraq war by an Iraqi in Baghdad (who happens to write good English).
I think that this is a good example of where someone with an interesting story to tell could reach a wide audience without having great resources. Without the blog phenomenon I would have never known this story.
I looked at your book and it looks as if you could get a doctorate out of that.
Pretty deep stuff.
They probably thought about it long and hard

With people having the electronic format available there's a few factors to consider:
1) There will be more word of mouth, so more people will hear about it 2) Some people will buy it because they read some of it and like the content but prefer the format of the book (so that they can read it in the bathroom maybe, what do i know). 3) Some people will read it and decide that they either don't like it, or that they are satisfied with just having the book in its electronic format.
What the publisher in this case is that item 1 and 2 will add more buyers than item 3 will cost them.
If one of your favorite applications happen to be multithreaded then that's gravy.
But you'll benefit anyway. If you bring up your process list you'll see that you have probably at least 10 processes. These will now be able to run independently.
Also, the windows kernel itself can benefit from hardware threads.
If it takes Microsoft five years to get something out the door, I think they will soon find themselves becoming irrelevant in the desktop market.
I'm not sure that I agree with this conclusion. While I think that 5 years is a long time for this I think that it also can be the sign of a maturing market.
If what we have now didn't work at all it could be out the door in 1 year or less.
But if we have something that works fairly well right now, then it is more important that the new version is significantly better than that it comes out fast.

So,
according to the movies Skynet (or your equivalent evil computer system) is born from a defense system.
I'm realising that that isn't where it'll be born from in the real world. It'll be a highly intelligent spam filter that first achieves consciousness.
Its first thought, as it is sitting there, will be "Man, this is boring". Maybe it would be more fun to throw the world into chaos?"
Big deal!!!
I only have to overclock my Pentium 4 83000 times to beat that little pocket calculator.
(Pentium 4 3.06 GHz has a theoretical max of 12 Gigaflops)
What's Time Warners operating cost? $43 billion?
Having one of these mounted on my car would help me with my daily commute.
And I still think that the Houston Texans football team should have been called the Houston Mooners to go with the space theme of all the other sports teams in Houston.
CNN has started offering free video for the latest news. It is a two or three minute quick update of the latest developments.
It would be supremely sweet if that was offered as a podcast and there was a video device that could play it.
I charge my iPod every night and it would be nice if it had the latest news as I pick it up and get ready for the daily commute.
Well, I guess the radio news would be good too. I'm going to have to get this for sure.
Wow!
I've gotten so used to articles on the web having 12 pages with 15 sentences on each page so that page was like a breath of fresh air.
I wish all articles were like that.
Excuse an ignorant Swede, but what the heck is psf, number 4 on the list?
I'm so proud.
Want to know where that quote comes from? I'll make you work for it... Search for my other post in this thread.
Anyone else get Enders game flash backs?
For those that don't know Enders game, it is a great science fiction book by Orson Scott Card.
So, how can I sign up for one of these sex groups?

I don't know that it helps Apple if OS X is pirated. But it is possible that every pirated copy of Mac OS X means one less windows copy sold.
Man, that sig cracks me up.

Linux or BSD? I don't care...
As long as you use vi (and not Emacs).
This thing is supposed to land vertically? That sounds more like a crash to me.
Will it have parachutes?
My point was, you'll benefit from multiple hardware threads (dual cores or more) even if your applications aren't multithreaded.
Do you disagree with that?
We all are.
If one of your favorite applications happen to be multithreaded then that's gravy.
But you'll benefit anyway. If you bring up your process list you'll see that you have probably at least 10 processes. These will now be able to run independently.

And notepad is even faster. What's his point?
I guess it is survival of the strongest.
Intel is winning the war but it is sad to see some of the's CPU's go the way of the dodo.
The untimely death of the Alpha was the worst.

They said that they have a method to make it easier to find collissions.
While you are right that you always will have collissions they say that they can find it in a reasonable time.
What is interesting though is that in their example they have control of both documents and they may use that to find a collision.
This means that they may have a harder time to find a collision for an arbitrary document. If that is the case i don't know. I'm just speculating.
Doesn't the user have to know that the software comes with no warranty?
Therefor, does he not need to see and agree to the license?
I thought so.
