My first guess was that IBM were going to highlight Microsofts (still running) monopoly. They declare they want to port the app, Microsoft say no, IBM squeals to the DOJ.
I find it VERY hard to take security advice from a website that runs IIS5 on Windows 2000. Considering the recent win2k source leak, I bet hey'll be the first jumping up and down going "you see! you see!" in that typically ignorant way.
I'm not up on what motorola do these days but surely a similar chip that can emulate the x86 architecture would be possible?
Phi's relation with the fibonacci sequence

The Golden Ratio
·
· Score: 1
This is from the book so i do not claim it is my own.
Take any 2 numbers (lower values will make this easier). Produce a fibonacci sequence with them: Write down the first number, then the second, calculate the 3rd from adding the 1st and 2nd, then the 4th from the second and third, etc, etc. When you get 20 numbers calculate the ratio of the 19th and 20th (20th divided by 19th). That is the golden ratio.
I learnt to program on an ancient aquarius at the age of 9. It was great and my first steps were done in BASIC. I then got an Atari ST and the M68K chip blew e away. I wanted to be "like the other demo crews" so i set about learning. I got pretty far and Assembly language was pretty easy. Once PCs came to the fore i thought "Great! I'll transfer my skills to a mainstream platform". How dissapointed i was to discover that the x86 was a crippled chip with only 4 registers. I know things have changed these days but it put me RIGHT off. The M68K had 8x16 bit data registers and 8x32bit address registers (IIRC). It was a dream to push around bits and have plenty of storage. So has the x86 platform evolved to a better state of afairs (like the good old 1979 M68K?). I certainly hope so, as it would rekindle my love for "to the metal" programming. I'd be interested to hear your comments.
You cant use the app? Er.. that's like saying "OK, so what if i dont put petrol in my car, how am i supposed to drive it then?". Besides, most applications are not built for tinfoil hatters.
But I've opted to use XWT for the simple reason that browsers are NEVER 100% compatible with each other or anything else. I decided pretty quickly that until these issues are ironed out you're going to be heading for a whole bunch of trouble. XWT provides web applications on any browser by d/l a jar to the browser, it renders locally, uses xml-rpc over http for server communication and means you can reuse any java code that you have made/can find. It's not perfect, but it's a whole lot closer to what you need than trying to be "standards compliant".
If I had believed this bull from 2002 I would be a very pissed off business manager today:
Once extracted, that information can be reused, repurposed, indexed or reassembled for any other medium that supports XML, regardless of the server, application, or platform.(Taken from here)
IANAL but I remember reading a post from a lawyer on the SCO case that any company that sells you a good or a certain purpose, then later on changes it's intended usage and as a result sues you can be in deep water. Any programs that I write to read/write Office 11 docs will now make me a criminal, even though I bought into the technology because Microsoft said I could do just this!
That's because we all know linux hackers are bloody communist hippies who spend spare CPU cycles wearing patches, shouting "oo arr!!" and riding the high seas in search of copyright bounty!
Slashdot Mirror
She's beautiful!
.....like this one.
That's all well and good, as long as they don't actually request a receipt if they decide to settle...
I'd fire them!
Comparing rotten teeth?
You mean the ring get's destroyed? Gutted! It's all spoiled now :(
May I be the first to welcome you to slashdot Mr Bush!

In that case let's start a new one: Lying Bastards
In Thailand you can already get Windows XP full for the cost of a blank CD! Maybe this is the model they will use to make Windows cheaper than Linux?
...we have a thing called the Golden Ration.

Call that a kernel?.....THIS is a kernel!!
Maybe some MCSE could tell me, what are string processing functions doing in the kernel?
Great! Where do i sign up!!!??!??! :P~~~~~~~

With a swift left jab, a Prescott can beat anything. Even egg throwers from Wales.

No, it's just another way of saying "Go to hell".
