Sorry, but I can make runtime imports on Python, and it is great. Yeah, it also means that every symbol is now a string, and must be parsed every time, too bad, it is still great.
A blast to a past where computers had 256MB of RAM, a reasonable Javascript capacity (but it slows pages down), and 56kbps connections were the most common. You can play videos on your cellphone!
That is the past, but way more recent. In 1995 you couldn't take for granted that your computer had enough memory to open an image (Photoshop users were recommended to buy computers with more RAM), most telephone lines weren't fit for 56kbps comminucation, and Javascript was a newborn.
It's polynomial time in a non-deterministic computer. But as far as we know, non-deterministic computers can't actualy exist on our Universe (a physics problem, but physics is NP-hard, so how would I know?).
In a deterministic computer (anything that does exist), the best algorithms we know for NP-complete problems (the "easiest" of the NP-hard class) take exponential time. There is lot of optimizing one can do on them, you can get some answers faster, you can reduce the subexponential factors, but we can't really solve a NP-complete problem in less than exponential time.
But we also don't know if there is some polynomial time answer to a NP-hard problem. Maybe there is.
The problem is that this gate comes with trusted boot, and sites that refuse to talk to your computer unless you are booting a trusted operating system with a trusted boot sequence.
If those sites are restricted to the ones serving you media, great, no problem. Just wait untill the infrastructure is created and your bank starts to think that you must use a trusted client because, well, it is trusted. Or untill the government have the same thinking. Wait untill you governemnt starts thinking that since you are not using a trusted OS, you are up to something wrong.
Oh, yes, and wait untill everybody starts using trusted a trusted OS (because they have nothing to hide), and your your history starts to be rewriten, doccuments start to disapear, and high corruption becomes completely untraceable. I guess no politician wants that. No sir.
You people do really never learn or what? Do every time somebody comes around talking about DRM people like you automaticaly trust him and everybody lose part of their fundamental rights.
Also, include the source of the QT dlls you are distributing. You don't need to distribute the software of your code, just QT (if you modify the QT dlls you must include the modified source, but just QT). This way nobody under any circunstance can complain about you using it.
I've never learned how to make a tool designed UI properly respond to resizing. Put me in the team that designs it by code, but I don't do that because of performance.
The lawsuit makes sense if Oracles wants to stop Google from distributing Android, if they want to stop Google from using Java (hey, that would be a great outcome), or if they want to get money from every Android device.
Their claims simply don't require that Google uses Java. Unless they come with a complete turn around at the settlement.
Well if those emails that Oracle got a hold of are allowed in court
Are you talking about Lindholm email? it was allowed in court, and an out of context conversation of people that doesn't know enough to determine of two systems are similar does not a proof make.
The days when feature phones booted instantly are gone. My last one took near 10 seconds to boot, and it wasn't unusual.
My current Android phone also takes around 30-40 seconds, but it is slow. Maybe faster phones are also more bloated, thus I can't say that Android phones boot faster... But I fail to see why one would optimize (or even care about) the boot time of a phone.
Another important feature that must be included in a splash screen is that it can not lock the entire workspace while the software is loading. And something that takes 3 or 4 minutes to load must not even let-me work while it is loading, but also not raise as the main window when it is done. It must notify that it is done, and stay there patiently waiting for when I want to use it.
If you are used to KDE you won't even think people will make splashscreens misbehave like that, or that the window manager would ever let one do that. But in other systems they do. Putting progress bars there is such a small detail besides not locking the screen and not stealing the focus that you can't even compare.
And, by the way, KDE software does not need a splash screen anymore. All those functions can be fullfield by the notification system. Currently, nobody does that, but it can be done.
AI always evolved fast. Since the 60's it's evolving faster and faster as time passes.
The problem is that people's ideas of what AI is doesn't evolve. Thus, as expert systems stopped getting better, people just assumed AI stopped. If you want to know what is AI, you can ask Google. It must know.
Don't throw them in pieces. Spray them as small particles (better if anti-He atoms - or is it He anti-atoms?), then it doesn't matter that the oponent detected them, he can't dodge on time, and can't really destroy a cloud comming into him at a nice percentage of the speed of light.
much of the waste heat is carried off in the exhaust; they're really kind of like rocket engines
So, throw your laser generators in the enemy. Shoot the laser at their sensors, and use the gear as mass ammo, tageted at wherever a mass impact would create the most damage.
Probably doesn't beat a nuclear propeled mass impact...
So the offending part can all by itself circunvent the barriers the standar dictates against him. Isn't that alone enough reason to abandon the standard? Or we do expect the dishonet to act honestly on the web?
I'm not defending Google, by the way. I just don't understand why Microsoft (or anybody else) is trusting the "evil bit" when it claims a package isn't evil.
And yes, I know the answer is "money". But isn't waiting too much exactly what did put we in the situation we are now with energy? Let people research.
EROEI is a very useful metric for energy sources. The less your product resembles energy generation, the less usefull it is. As far as I know, plastics don't resemble energy generation at all.
By the way, what would you use as the numerator when calculating the EROEI of a kilogram of PET?
Ok, maybe we produce more meat than necessary*, and should change some incentives. But attacking meat production as some unwanted thing (as in "what if we didn't eat meat?") is not the way to go.
* That conclusion must come toghether with the information of how much meat is necessary. Otherwise it is not a conclusion at all.
I’d move the site to a new domain name owned by the new guy, keep the current domain name, and just set up a friendly redirect page (with an appropriate explanation to users).
Please, don't. When you want to redirect somebody you give them a 301 or 303 answer. You don't set up a page with free text telling that in natural language. Only people are able to parse natural language, and bookmars and search engines won't be updated if you do that.
On that case, it would be best to use 301 answers. You can write them in simple mod-redirect rules.
Slashdot Mirror
It does include the same.
No, he's only at +4 for now.
Would it help if I remember that the first proposed release date for "Project Cairo" was 1992? It was renamed to "Windows 95" at 1994.

Sorry, but you can download J2SE for free, and even distribute it embebed on your installer if you follow some simple requirements.

Boy, that is a heck of a HUGE neutrino generator. What are you using for power? A galaxy cluster?

If we did that, at the first drought, instead of meat and water-hungry foods becoming scarce, it would be grains that get scarce.
That's the way everything seems to behave on windows.
