Just think of the data mining that was done in the swing states last election.

It's going to be interesting to compare this to AMD's new G-series low power processors.
The G-series will have a GPU attached similar to what will go into the PS4 and the XBOX720
The opencl performance really speaks for the direction AMD is going with their APU's in the future. The design of this chip will be directly imbedded into AMD's next generation Kaveri APU where the GPU and CPU share the same cache, which should allow all sorts of crazy performance optimizations in everything from Programming languages http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-and-Oracle-Team-Up-for-Heterogeneous-Computing-on-Java-295882.shtml and databases: http://pbbakkum.com/db/ I know the database link deals with sqlite and CUDA, but that should be SLOW compared to what an AMD Kaveri APU will be able to perform as the latency from a CPU operation to a GPU operation should next to nothing.
I think Heterogenous computing will play a key roll in increasing battery life in the next few years. AMD, ARM and Samsung among others have been working to get an API together that will allow regular code to work on a CPU or a GPU depending on which will perform the best as long as the processor and GPU are on the same piece of silicon and share the same memory cache. Studies (http://pbbakkum.com/db/) have shown that sqlite gets a 15% performance increase (or less power usage per query) by running the database off a GPU, and Oracle (http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-and-Oracle-Team-Up-for-Heterogeneous-Computing-on-Java-295882.shtml) is working on project "Sumatra" which will allow Java applications to get better performance with less power.
Tie this in with Samsung creating a new HSA enabled device, and we could see some interesting changes in the phone market!
So this affects the Wifi Calling App. I wonder if those of us running Cyanogen need to upgrade to a new version of Cyanogen, or just update the Wifi calling app..
Bucky balls are the roundest and most symmetricle large molecule known to man. They were name after the Architect R. Buckminister Fuller who made geodesic domes.
7 years ago I did the script kiddie thing, and for me it wasn't because I was bored (I lived on a farm 25 miles from the nearest town; I was always out hunting, building contraptions and doing of some sort). The main reason I used the programs was to a) impress a few friends b) do something "cool" with Linux.
Hey! after downloading 20 something slackware disks on a 14.4 modem you would want to make the thing do something "useful" too!

If you happen to own your own house and your heating bill seems high, Try installing Aluminum insulation in the attic. This type of insulation reflects 97% of all radiative heat from entering your house through the attic and I found to be dirt cheap ($130 on E-bay) to cover 1000 square feet of attic space.

I think there will ALWAYS be demand for IT in the US. Even if there is thousands of jobs being moved over seas, there will always be demand for some sort of programmers and System administrators. The difference will be that those that are highered for the higher paying jobs will be found in certain Niche markets.
Why is it so hard to port games from Windows to Linux?? Is it just the connections to interfaces (graphics cards, keyboard, joystick mouse) or does it have more to do with compilers and incompatibilities??
I don't understand why it takes Debian so long to release! For the most part upgrading to Debian testing is just as Stable as Woody. So why haven't they released it??

I am running CyanogenMod-7.2.0, and I have Wifi Calling
So this affects the Wifi Calling App. I wonder if those of us running Cyanogen need to upgrade to a new version of Cyanogen, or just update the Wifi calling app..
If you read further down in the article, you would know that they worked with Intel and were given a patch to fix this issue. Brandon
they're not slashdotted.. the website link is wrong it should link to treehugger.com.
HAH!

I found a link to the source on E-MULE, it looks to be around a gig if it is the real thing.

in the bottom right corner of the picture linked directly to the BBN IMP team, you will notice the dude looks like Red Foreman from that 70's show!
It kind of makes you wonder....

I would have to vote for Perl/Python modules for GNU cash.
