I get the feeling you didn't RTFA. It was reasonably critical and objective, covered known facts quite well, and mentioned developer opinions that I've been hearing.
Don't worry, the PS3 will be the most powerful machine on the market...
Put it downtown, instead of in the middle of the desert, and inscribe a curse over the door that curses the city, intead of the grave robber, if it is violated.
/. has changed markedly over the years, but still keeps it's technical orientation. This has become more obvious, IMO, since the emergence of digg.com, a site with lots of tech news, but very n00bish comments.
How about we keep/. the way it is, instead of trying to dumb it down? The links provided contain lots of usefull info. You might not understand all of it, but you might learn something.
No, sorry. They should have seen it coming. It was a failure in the process. I understand that launching humans into space is a riscky enterprise, but that doesn't change the fact that this disater could have been avoided.
The number of write samples has been steadily improving, and that fact, combined with an intelligent filesystem, means that it's not a problem any more. And with the lack of moving parts MTBF times should far out strip the inherent complexity of a hard drives platter and heads.
War doesn't work like that. Obviously, the US will try to avoid pissing of countries if it can, but when push comes to shove, they wouldn't hesitate to destroy those satellites.
Apple has sold 42 million iPods, 14 million in the last holiday season. Everyone I ask who doesn't have one would like one. There seems to be some room for growth there.
In fact, it's the difference between 'We don't know what's wrong, it's a black screen and we're not sure if we're reading these logic traces correctly' and 'We have a working toolchain, and the kernel is sending error messages to the display', it's the watershed moment in any port. Now it's comparativly straightforward to work with.
OMGWTF!? BASIC!? I would have agreed with you in 1975, but we've come a long way since then. Python, Ruby, or even Pascal are all better choices for a first language, IMO. Yes, they might all have a bit more of a learning curve than BASIC, for the purposes of writing 'Hello World' (and that's arguble), but it's worth the extra effort for the sudent.

try;
(c / g) in days = 353.823183 days
(the 'in days' is needed so g insn't taken to mean 'grams')
Again, that's simply an engineering problem... acellerating at 1 G will still get you there.

Well, I was wishing for more than 'A few lines of brilliant code", but your post didn't help much, either. :-)
Eratosthenes did a bang up job.
Why are you wasting your time here, when you could be feeding the homeless?
I got the impression that it was more about proccessing data than controlling the scope. So the code would look more like a FFT or encryption algo.
The original paper, "Direct Injection of Venom by a Predatory Wasp into Cockroach Brain"(pdf), was published 3 years ago, so I guess it's not news to entymologists. I'm not an entymologist, but I am a nerd, and it's news to me.

Steam engines? Man, my dad would have killed me if I had taken apart the family train.

Yeah, like when Apple bought NeXT.
It's not a simulator, it's a game.
Organic debris washed in with water, bat shit, leaves , etc.
Hmmmm, I find your ideas intriguing, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
That's true today, but with Vista supporting it, it seems many manufactures will license it from Intel.
Well, the company might have a new model, but I don't have time for open heart surgery this week.

How 'bout "Upper Mexican"?
Get your ass out of the house and quit asking the world (slashdot) for validation about how fucking bleak it is.
