I already thought about stacking up a Beowulf-cluster of them for $2000! That sure would be a cool “tower” below your desk. And think about the screen space!
If only one could easily detach the screens from the rest...
In one sentence: Objective C is C++ (C, but object oriented) done right. ^^
Although of course, watching them compete from a Haskell viewpoint, still is like watching two drooling retards from the dark ages beat the crap out of each other.:D
Real men walk up to the cop/soldier, flip his gun upwards under his chin, and push his own finger against the trigger, and blow their head off in the blink of an eye! Just like Riddick in Return to Butcher Bay / that Dark Athena extension.;) (Really fun game btw! Best movie adaptation ever!)
Financially? Well, if you pay back your debts? Oh hell yeah! Mentally? The US? With that behavior? Definitely! ^^ Your point is what? ^^
Lol, you still speak of “calories”. The 60s called! They want their level of knowledge about nutrition back! Short carbohydrates are the reason people become fat pigs, AND the reason they become retards (because that stuff eats all their B-vitamins, which their brain needs, and does not bring its own... as opposed to e.g. whole grain food.)
WTF, guys?? I’m not flaming! Would you have cared to read my comment, and to understand it, then you would have noticed that it’s intelligent and does even partially agree with parent commenter. A sign of an educated discussion.
But hey, what does someone who mods comments as flamebait, before even fully reading them, instead saying where he disagrees in his own comment, know about a proper discussion...
Look at the guys who answered. They did it right. I hate troll-moderators!
I was very impressed, that nowadays links2/elinks does JavaScript, can use CSS, has tabbed browsing, and even includes a BitTorrent client! One of them also does UTF-8. (Oh, and if you need it, you even get a graphics mode!)
So switching from IE6 to those, would definitely be an upgrade.:)
I wonder if we could define standard APIs for all the components of browsers... HTML parsers with DOM trees, CSS interpreters, JS machines, renderers, plugin-interfaces... So that everyone could glue his own browser together... That would be really cool. (Take Google’s JS engine, the KHTML engine, etc, and make your perfect browser.)
Exactly. Nowadays they even offer to detect the *angle* of the pen! (E.g. for airbrushing.)
A friend of mine bought the big Cintiq for working with ZBrush, and according to him it’s just plain insane. The price is too (2000€), but he said it’s worth it, as it just beats paper or anything else out of the water. (No, neither he is nor I am a marketing guy in disguise. ^^ We really feel like that.)
That’s the horrible thing about it: Why do you think most of the stuff we eat, comes from poor countries? Why do many resources come out of the ground of the poorest countries?How does that make sense to you? The resources are not lacking. Usually, the resources in their ground are incredibly rich. Or there are countries that are basically jungle and fertile ground full of plants, animals, etc. Not exactly resource-lacking.
But our standard of living is assured by us raping those nations’ resources. And by keeping them from thriving. The WTO plays a major role in this (ask the Yes Men).
Also, if “our economy is bad” (our, not that of the big companies with their record profits), are you going to suggest limiting births? The reason they have so many children, is nature saying “Well, at least one of them has to survive... right?” In Africa, many “leaders” are practically company employees...
Do something to help them fight being raped! Then you’re doing something good! Somalia’s pirates are about the only thing I have seen, that actually fights this. (That’s why many see them as heroes.) Also, very interesting: I recently found out, that china massively invests in Africa. I wonder how this will turn out. From what I heard, it’s actually pretty good until now.
But I 100% agree on education. But not the indoctrination kind that kids in the “civilized” world get. More a practical, free-thinking, leadership-teaching, high-tech-friendly approach. Because even with no resources left, you could then always learn a language and offer services to foreign countries. Because frankly, if a programmer offers a good service, I don’t care if he previously was a pirate or lived in a mud hut on a garbage dump.
Excuse me. Slashdot exists since 1997. “Web 2.0” is a term from 2004. Slashdot is so old, it barely counts as Web 1.0. Also, it’s not ultra-stupid, since there are a ton of actually educated experts here, and their comments are worth a lot. An example: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1525428&cid=30911212
That’s what makes/. different than Failbook and Twitter, etc.
LOOOOL. I didn’t expect a Troll moderation. But it makes sense. It’s kinda like repression, from those who lived their whole life following orders and rules, instead of having an own opinion and sense of reality. They have to repress it, or else they would have to hate themselves too much to continue living. It’s understandable.
But what I said... Stop occupying yourself with something so superficial as the language used. Look at the philosophy behind it: Thou shalt think for themselves! Thou shalt lead and verify what you hear, not blindly follow and believe. Now tell me you disagree with that and call that trolling. Because if you are, you are the reason we had things like the Nazis and religious followings destroying the world. TYVM. Way to go. So I hope this was just a misunderstanding.:)
Hate to tell ya, but we’d be the ones dying from the nuclear winter style smoke, clouds and coldness, while “our” politicians would search a scapegoat for this “act of terrorism of employing weapons of mass destruction (fire)” (anyone but the now burning USA itself, of course), making all forms of combustion illegal and build themselves a nice geothermally heated lair under a volcano.
I guess it’s also called “driving like in GTA”. ^^
Of course the cops will actually have the power to call everything antisocial driving for any made-up or strawman reason. (And will be instructed to *exclusively* drive antisocial / Hollywood chase style.)
As long as you are OK with forgetting everything you know, and basically becoming a new person...
Because you sure won’t get back your old dendrites. And if 10% of your brain cells are wrecked beyond repair from drugs, I’ll sign you a statement, saying that the other 90% are at least very close to it too.
It’s sad, how so many people oversimplified graphs. Into trees. Tables. and even lists. Think of class hierarchies in programming libraries. File systems with hard-coded roots and even the lack of links. Table-based databases. Mindmaps. Etc, etc, etc. It’s just way too simplified.
But I’m working on a FS and UI element to fix this.
Carl Woese, one of whose earlier discoveries was the third branch of life on Earth, the Archaea.
Uum, H.P. Lovecraft already mentioned Archaea in his “Mountains of Madness” story. So unless Carl Woese is doing science since 1931, I have to doubt this statement...
I’m happy for those with MS & Macular Degeneration...
Yes. MS is a really ugly disease. You get this colorful “buttons” all over the surface, and it gets harder and harder to to basic stuff. You basically become a dumbed-down zombie after a time, unable to achieve anything. Locked down in your cage of point and click on Playmobil interfaces giving you macular degeneration. Thank god for Linux.

Did someone’s humor detector fail again, “moderators”?
Hate to tell ya, but we’d be the ones dying from the nuclear winter style smoke, clouds and coldness, while “our” politicians would search a scapegoat for this “act of terrorism of employing weapons of mass destruction (fire)” (anyone but the now burning USA itself, of course), making all forms of combustion illegal and build themselves a nice geothermally heated lair under a volcano.
I’d even bet money that this would happen!
Than’s easy. Just walk around, push the button, and listen where the “be-beep” comes from. ;)
I guess it’s also called “driving like in GTA”. ^^
Of course the cops will actually have the power to call everything antisocial driving for any made-up or strawman reason. (And will be instructed to *exclusively* drive antisocial / Hollywood chase style.)
Exactly. Why would you crack it, if not because there’s something in there that you wanted. Which implies you know what it is or means.
And if it’s not in there anyway, then not cracking it is OK. Since, well, you don’t want it anyway.
Isn’t that, what Transmeta was all about?
I always wondered why it failed. It certainly wasn’t because of the idea or because of me.
I thought that’s what the “wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan were for, and Bin Laden and his fake shoe-bomber were working hard on...
Damn! Why did you post this as AC? I wanted to befriend you because of that comment!

No. It’s a directed graph.
