One of the things physics is trying to do is to create a theory that ties together space, time, gravity, energy, mass, quantum mechanics (basically everything). It's proving to be very difficult and gravity is the problem.
So what you're trying to say is that the speed of gravity is 42?
Sega's "blast processing" commercial in which they claim Sonic the Hedgehog's fast scrolling is due to some neat-o feature in the Genesis' processor which the SNES lacks.
IIRC, the claim was Sonic's rotation (spinning) was only possible on that processor/platform, but since it was only a sprite, that doesn't make much sense now that I think about it. Still, I think that was what the commercial emphasized.
I agree that source should be released, but there are several good Java decompilers, and, unlike decompilers for other languages, they produce very readable output, often with the original variable names, etc.
So how do I get all these forms of information - or at least an index into them - together in one place? But again, without changing the current organization scheme.
Something like Google should work, except for your calendars.
I downloaded an ISO last night at about 90KBps incoming, and max (15KBps) outgoing, and when I woke up, it was done, but it didn't seem to be sharing anymore... I would have thought it would at least keep sharing until it finished the download. Wouldn't have bothered me at all.
Maybe it does that to be nice to people who have to pay for their bandwidth (metered)?
two underlying data structures necessary to store the data contained within the format (hash tables and lists) which makes writing generic accessor methods like those used in XML libraries nearly impossible.
Are you using the C++ STL? It should make the structures reasonable to create.
Are they sure that more rats won't swim or float (on driftwood) from other islands? This happens all the time, and is how many islands became populated with mammals.
1. What are the performance stats of the cluster in the/. story?
320 MFlops on matrix ops. Not great, but they say it's capable of 900 if they can feed the VPU fast enough. They think they can use additional existing hardware in the CPU to increase memory performance.
2. Why would you bother when you could use current commodity hardware for much less? I mean, a P3-600 is interesting, but you could probably drop some Duron 1.4s with a basic mobo and 256MB RAM for less out the door than a PS2.
Maybe. Wal-Mart sells Durons (with Lindows) for $199 complete, sans monitor.
But, apparently PS2's are under $100 according to another poster.
ISTM that they may be spending a lot of time figuring out how to optimize code for the PS2 though.

But does it swallow?
Would someone care to explain the differences/similarities between this and the new Linux (2.5) threads implementation?
TIA
So the poster will be able to replace his costly IBM hardware with free IBM software. If that's not ironic, I don't know what is.
You mean like programmers?
Yeah... look at this then. Damn. Gravity Sucks :P
Yeah, and it's not the same knife as the one in the PDF. (the one the guy is holding looks like a kitchen knife to me.)
This seems like a perverse attempt at a joke to me.
Using ZIP -9 gives a 20MB file.
So, FEAD offers slightly better compression. (I know there's other crap, including the installer, registry settings, icons, ...)
Still, is it worth the annoyance of the greatly increased install time?
Also, how is FEAD saying they are 50% better than other compressors?
When you download Acrobat, it usually will download an "Adobe Download Manager" or something like that.
That is NOT what is being discussed here.
Even if you bypass using the download manager, it still uses FEAD to decompress and install AcroRead.
One could easily disprove your theory by unplugging their net connection during the FEAD decompression... Done... no adverse affect.
Nonetheless, the installer is VERY slow, and is still bigger than the AcroRead 5.1 installer, which did not use FEAD.
Making users go through this many steps (download the download manager. run it. wait for it to download. wait for fead...) and slowness is insane.

RedHat STILL provides 686 SMP and BigMem kernels for all versions of RedHat. (See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-187.html)
Looks like Google has most of them cached

Take Two estimates fiscal-year sales to be $975Million!
Oh...My...God!
At least 12% of the P2P traffic must be spam!

Well, apparently both, according to the same page you linked.
The Oracle dev position is for corporate financials, whereas the MySQL is for Technical Web Applications, whatever that means (maybe data mining).
They also have another position with MySQL experience mentioned on the same page.

E-Mail isn't anonymous, and never has been, (your IP is traceable back to you) unless you use an anonymous remailer.
If SMTP2 or whatever is successfull, then people will make anonymous remailers for it.
Of course.
A PS2 certainly uses less power than the _average_ PC. Less power = less heat. Smaller too.
Or a Roach Motel. ("Roaches check in, but they don't check out!")

You could use the three-sided manhole solution.
