Universal binaries are easy because the compiler is running two well-understood processes (compiling for x86 and compiling for ppc) and doing a little reorganizing at the end. Compiling for the Cell is a very new field all by itself; targeting both a traditional processor *and* a cell *and* having them interact in such a way as to provide a meaningful performance benefit would be a serious problem for a team of expert humans.
Apple would be better off investing in GPGPU technology if they do decide to get into this sort of thing. There's already a version of CUDA for OS X.
The "/16" means they claimed the remaining 16 bits of the 32-bit IP address whose first 2 bytes are 134.17 in decimal- everything from 134.17.0.0 to 134.17.255.255. That's one of only 65,000 blocks of its class available and is the sort of range that would be owned by a large corporation or university.
"I'm not going to sell you this domain because I disapprove of the purpose for which you will use it" is a dangerous position to take. What's happening here is just closing a loophole that allows domains to be used for free- a simple, clear problem.
The hard drives on the Apple Store are blank third party drives. The only way to get Apple to ship you a hard drive with OS X on it is to buy a Mac that contains one.
Doesn't solve the problem. If the captcha can be solved by a legitimate human visitor to the site it can also be solved by a human tricked into believing he is solving it for a different reason. There is no defense against this sort of middleman attack without controlling the client (and since this is the web, that's not going to happen).
I don't mean piracy of store apps, I mean using it as an alternative distribution system for anyone who writes a phone app but doesn't want to pay the $99 and submit to Apple's oversight and distribution methods. The developer tools and simulator environment are free to download; the fee gets you the ability to install programs on your phone the official way and to get your product listed on iTunes (with approval). But moving programs directly from computer to phone is a problem already solved by hackers, so they can just continue to do that.
Hell, I won't be surprised if people start distributing iPhone binaries developed with the official SDK freely over the internet and using the extant jailbreak/mod programs to install them.
Split-screen SLI also causes problems with deferred rendering and other post-processing techniques that have become all the rage these days - the driver has to work around the fact that none of the chips has the complete framebuffer.
Doom 3/Id Tech 4 didn't do soft shadows. It also didn't do any global illumination at all, which was a step back from the previous generation of engines (which used precomputed lightmaps). Shadow volumes turned out to be a dead end; buffers are the prevalent method today.
It would be what you accuse it of being if the entity corresponding to the USA was always portrayed as correct and victorious in every conflict. This is not at all the case.
I believe that episode ended with that not being the case- Adama realized that his belief that he caused the attack was just a result of blowing his own shame and guilt out of proportion, and that event was not in fact a direct trigger for the war.
That doesn't sound possible. The actual RST flag is in the packet header, the payload is the only part that can be encrypted. You can't make a a connection selectively obey different parts of the TCP protocol. An ISP can kill any connection made over its network; making it difficult for them to identify torrent traffic is the only way to resist this.
To be fair, Apple wasn't responsible for the rise of CD burners. It was actually quite the opposite- Apple ignored that trend entirely until it was clear watching movies on computers was not the next big thing and weak CD writing on the Mac was becoming a weakness, then admitted as much when introducing the first Macs to ship with them built in.

None of the major system APIs other than Posix and common low-level OSS libraries have any resemblance to those in Linux.
Surgery is just about the last place anyone who isn't a trained expert should be involved.

Just like PlaysforSure killed off the closed, proprietary iPod, right?
Didn't liquid cooling go mainstream when Apple used it in the last generation of Power Mac G5s?

And then the fork bomb walks into the bar, and then the fork bomb walks into the bar, and then the fork bomb walks into the bar...
Yeah, it's too bad Apple hasn't just released development tools for the thing. Now we'll never get third party applications.
Most of Intel's codenames are names of real places.

Yeah, it took me a while to get the hang of it, but I'm much better at it now.
The article says the railgun is expected to have a range of 220 miles.
Because they own the right authorize it. Same reason painting your house is common but painting someone else's will get you arrested.
That's not really supplanting- if TV disappeared tomorrow, so would all your torrents.
How is this different from spring-loaded folders which have been in MacOS since before it was X?
