> ESX can peacefully coexist with Linux.
There's also the fact that Linux is (and will forever be) GPL2, and not GPL3. That's not always the case with other FLOSS.
TrueCrypt might not be the best option, if you plan on having the image mounted in several machines, due to sync issues as mentioned by sibling posts. If you're on *nix, encfs is a better solution, as it works individually on each file, and can handle the updates without remounting.
i haven't much used the gtalk audio/video calls, but I don't think it has multi-party calls, screen sharing or PSTN integration, both for dial out and dial in (except maybe through Google voice? But even then it'd be US only).
The basic components might be there, namely the actual video calling and the huge user base, but I wouldn't call it a strong competitor for skype just yet.
That's true, but when compared to the source material, the movies (even good ones) tend to pale. I guess when making them out of something which contains much less story than a book (such as a game), there isn't really any good way to come up with good movie content.
Skype calls and IM worked out of the box on the N900 since day one. What are you talking about?
The video calls are new. I've just tested them and they work with skype and gmail with no issues. I haven't tried SIP video yet, though.
Yes, but the Nokia tablets don't offer HSDPA, or any other GSM conectivity option, for that matter. It'll be interesting to see what one can do with this little device...
Fuji's S3Pro (and the upcoming S5Pro) do have a extended DR feature that works quite
well in many cases. It's far from perfect, but it does improve the results.
Basically, it uses adjacent photosites divided into two sets to capture at different intensities (I'm not
really sure of the technical aspects, but I guess each set works at a different "ISO value").
Of course this implies a loss of resolution, since you are using 2 captured pixels to create 1 pixel in the final image
It won't. While there's a noticeable difference in quality when listening to 8KHz and 16KHz sampled speech, it certainly won't double
the perceived quality. Even more so if it's in a VoIP context, where other factors such as the loss rate and distribution, forward error
correction and the choice of codec (which tend to be of the non-PCM kind) play such big roles.
Just my 2 cents...

Well, the market they care about in this case is desktops, so all other niches are not relevant to the discussion.
None of those are comparatives, so he probably meant the 'other ones'.

If you want a more comprehensive view supporting this guy's work, check out Pallywood. You'll see it's all staged.

This is the second time I read about this, and yet I commonly talk over Skype with INRIA researchers...
They should print the data as captchas, so they can't just OCR the results...

three words for you: stop, stop, play
I doubt that, since the Heartbeat Sensor idea was ripped off from the original Rainbow Six.
We actually have those. We just use Kelvins to measure them :)
I prefer Robert Loggia's low-tech approach for dealing with tailgaters. Seems to work everytime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzgmAgzpldU
Wouldn't TeX be prior art for this? That's pretty much what TeX does...

Well, speaking of youtube and american intelligence...

It's no wonder you guys didn't make it into the list!Not only that, but he also hosts the best page in the universe!!

The eds fscked up once again. They meant to say that the cluster draws the same amount of power as 15000 PCs.
Actually, this came up in a fark PS contest some time ago... Now that'd be neat!
Next time, you should take a look at LaTeX with one of the poster styles. It may be a bit harder to do, but the results are worth it.
