Attach some processor afinity code and you'll have a very very effective multi-core scheduling. I suppose that the "ready" cue on a 4 cpu core will be basically empty at any given moment.
How open source is it in canada? It is as open as it can ever get. It is done on paper. You get a pen and a piece of paper with a list of all the candidates from all the major parties and then some. It is all counted before the turn of the day and recounts are done within another. We've never had a problem.
One of the problem working with, say 3D mri data, is that for various reasons the FFT just can't be broken up into chunks of arbitrary sizes. I think at most I've broken a data set up 24 times, but then padding etc. become a worry. Also, you to pretty much avoid all IPC or amdahl's law kicks in fast and hard. Ironically some of the easiest algorithms to break up into several cpu's are things like convolution. The irony is that these are also computed faster on a single cpu than it takes to load and store the file.
Mostly it affects transcoding. The initial encoding takes a large amount of raw time sampled data. Then it does two things, approximates the frequency content and tries to quantify it less. You remember pallets back in the old days of computing. Computers couldn't show 256 colours all at the same time, but they could show any 16 of those 256. In audio files a similar thing happens. Reducing the number of "numbers" really helps save space but causes a lot of loss. Unfortunately each encoding has its own paremeters and sometimes completely different algorithms for deciding what should or should not be one of the "numbers".
Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind the bans on cuba. There are much nastier places that people are allowed to deal with. I always get a kick living in vancouver because anywhere there might be american tourists, there is usually a big sign saying "cuban cigars".
I'm learning haskell. It is a complete 180 in terms of thinking from a standard imperative language. I think to truly appreciate haskell you must have a solid appreciation for mathematics in general because as far as programming languages go, haskell is pretty pure. The underlying theory is rather elegant but takes a lot of work to appreciate. That said, i do not yet have the necessary mental process required to write a "real-world" application in haskell however i find it brilliantly simple to write elegant and bug-free one-line functions that do rather complicated tasks. The string parsing capabilities are top notch but i have yet to scratch the surface.
See the title. It says "attack-proof". Yet the cool bit is the high-temperature superconductor bit. Is anyone actually that worried about a terrorist attack? People don't leave the house without a diaper anymore!
I used one of the very first phoenix builds. It impressed me because at the time i was using mozilla. Phoenix was literally just gecko + some ui and it was really really light and fast. There was no installer, no control panel (well it was blank), etc.
I'm very happy with firefox so far. I run half a dozen extensions to give me features like "session saving" etc. Ram usage is not too much of a concern with me. I would like it if the default was to not cache 8 pages back. And on disk cache should be fast enough to retrieve and render. 90% of the time i only go back 1 click anyways.
Firefox 3 is implementing major changes. Under the hood they are switching to garbage collection and cairo (vector rendering) just to name a few. Cairo is a great abstraction that hasn't fully realized its performance capability. I don't suppose glitz will be out anytime soon. The sql-lite bookmarking looks neat. Epiphany has something similar. But i must admit that i've fully switched to del.icio.us and the extension v1.5.29. That's quite fully featured and it syncs across computers.
The rss reading capability i do not like at all. That should be implemented as an extension. I prefer to use liferea. There are plenty of firefox features that should be implemented as extensions. That way you can disable them if you wish.
My 6600gt was pretty cheap and i use it for medical imaging (can't wait till HDR monitors and cards kick into place. 12-bit here we come!). I suppose i can easily cripple it though with a large enough DTMRI data set and some module with a high polygon count.
Frozen bubble is a much better "free" game. But since you're all nerds.. if you're going to give a free game how about writing one yourself! and personalize it! (cuz its not about the money)
How many unix developers run as root? Probably because it works in the first place! Seriously though.. windows is beyond simple refactoring and I believe that vista is the evidence. The unix model is simple and effective but best yet scales reasonably well. Daemons run as root? No.. nor do they run a joe or bob. Even as sudo, you can still limit what commands you can run. SELinux takes things to a whole other level.

And the debate continues!
Taking tests are "time critical" and most of the time you don't have a book. I fucking hate tests that just ask to recite.

And there are companies in the US who don't even like what apple is doing with ITMS.

So you mean the chicken didn't come first or the egg but instead some hybrid bird-egg creature?
That's okay because travel in russia is still A-okay! But i suppose germany and japan are off limits right?

This WILL be duped but the editors never learn.
c'est beaucoup .
Oblig: Of course it crashed because of a bad driver.

Beautiful.
Java always with the exceptions and never simply checking return values. That is one of the reason why users write poorly performing code.

Apple thinks they could actually beat linux by releasing a better program. Clearly this tactic hasn't worked against microsoft.

At least if you copy and paste flame material be sure to select "Plain Text" from the scroll down box. That way you get nice paragraphs :D
