Well, there are some truths that we as a species have recognized irregardless of culture ( equality of men, human rights, ect, ect) and enshrined in various declarations of the multinational United Nations. While it may be slightly naive to think that a particular product of one culture would automatically solve a problem in another, it is also slightly naive to believe it would automatically fail, and down right absurd and categorically wrong to say that the target culture is not in need of enlightenment to the universally held beliefs of the equality of Man.
I'd say that its most likely that the student generally didn't know. Its not anything against the ethnicity, but the Indian schools themselves seem to do a horrible job actually giving students a wide breadth of knowledge. And they don't seem to understand the importance of it.
Facebook issues reports everynow and then, but its a moving target as most of the sites are. Somethings only scale so far. Facebook & Google seem to be on the Map Reduce train for the majority of their services. Yet, Google is one of the major third party contributers to Mysql, although its not clear exactly where they use it ( I've heard rumors of adwords being done via mysql). They've reported uptimes of 2-6 years ( for the whole stack Hardware, OS & Mysql under load) here
Depends on your definition of hard. If I were a Criminal I'd be looking at an open moko, to see if you could hack that in a similar manner. The firmware is fully open
Regardless, he was the deputy secretary to the vice president. I'm pretty sure if there was any dirt on the VP, he'd have it. At best you can say that he's guilty of lying about something which wasn't a crime. But why would you lie about something that wasn't a crime, unless you thought it was?
future interplanetary travelers may one day need to grow crops to withstand space radiation.
What about past interplanetary travelers? Will you not help them? Or are you so biased towards the entropic arrow of time, that you refuse to help those poor interplanetary travelers of the past? You Bastards! How do you sleep at night?
How exactly does their internet stuff fall short? DRM Free music for $0.89 per song? Satisfies my cravings.
Hmm I think I might know why their still upset.... I haven't purchased any music from the major labels, because the music I want isn't on them and its just as easy for them to put it on the same stores.
In the same way that having a seat belt and an air bag in my car, doesn't change my driving habits. Using safer functions, shouldn't change the testing required.
Sounds like you're on the same wave length. Now that seems sort of difficult right? Ok, on top of that, make it enjoyable enough that people will want to pay for the experience, and convince a publisher to support it.
No, it wasn't participatory. The artist still had control of the scene to shape it through his eyes. You're correct that you can create art by participating. Obviously anyone can type words, or apply paint to canvas. But there are some that do it a lot better than others. Video games will either produce paint by numbers art, or generate art at the level of an untrained sculptor on their first project.
Well, I would say that there is a difference between the atmosphere of a game being artistic ( ie, the breathtaking visuals, music, etc) and the plot achieving an profound statement on the human condition in the same vein as Hawthorne or Harper Lee.
As I said before, the more you script the outcome the more movie like it becomes ( with your character reduced to killing monsters or collecting gold). The more freedom you give a player, the less you can control the statement you were trying to achieve.
Characters in plays or movies all work together to create the end result. You can identify with one while watching, but not influence their actions. If you give control to the user odds are they are going to screw up the end, because people are stupid even when they aren't playing a video game.
I apologize for not making my statement clear enough. I meant its almost impossible to make a video game that deals with a controversial subject in an artistic fashion.
No, no you don't agree. Its pretty clear you didn't understand his post. One painting of a Nude woman is art, while another is Pornography. If you touch controversial topics, you must present them as art, not porn.
IMHO, I think that's a nearly impossible task in the videogame medium. If you give the user too much freedom, they'll abuse it and not get the art. If you restrict it too much, they aren't really engaged enough to participate in the art.
Its not a threading language, its a distributed concurrency language like erlang. So its designed to send messages locally or across a cluster, in a fast, safe,and easy manner. Yes, you could do everything in c# that it does, but not easily. Look over the documentation and you'll find some things that would be odd to you as a c# developer. Some sections that won't let you modify a variable's contents, to keep certain sections free of side affects.
Basically its a different way of doing things that should help create easy,bug free, high performance, concurrent software.
Even more than that. I'd suspect they'll probably buy out kickfire. Kickfire licenses mysql and mixes it with some custom a hardware( a sql chip they call it) and a column database for some pretty amazing speeds. Or they could just do it themselves, whcih I half expected with sun anyways.
Novell - word perfect is actually a pretty good example. Obviously, Wordperfect had a use. And several years later it was used less, and thus worth less. Would Google be able to sell off youtube for the 2 billion it paid, even after they themselves couldn't make it profitable? Its a valid point. If you're just in it for the money, now would be the time to sell twitter. If you think you are revolutionizing communication you don't sell.
Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Only, I didn't know about the amiga until 96 or so. I think he meant if you were only comparing a "PC" to a mac. Even then, I preferred PC because it was sort of easier to program, though I wish I was on the 386 BSD train earlier.
I'll ship you my grandpa's collection of 1960's cheap whiskey then. I don't know if it really got any worse for time, or if it was really that bad when it was new. Really, I'd prefer old crow.
Yes, and all of you who loved macs in the mid the late 90's were flat out insane. The hardware stunk. The software stunk. And you had to pay a premium for all of that crap. Its okay to like apple now, because their products no longer suck. Hell, they even work with two button mice. I complained about every thing that was mac, but now I use one. Because everything I complained about (mutlitasking, memory protection, ppc cpu, one button mice, lack of software, lack of programing languages) they fixed. Though the filesystem is showing its age. I hope they make a full transition to ZFS soon, or I'll have to start bashing them again.
Yeah, I'd be more impressed if that was redeemable in hardware. What are the IBM consultants really going to say "Good job ditching Sun! Now ditch Oracle for DB2!"
Wear and tear will be an issue, if you are using it as a database server with any real write load regardless of how its configured. Although you really shouldn't be using a laptop if it is going to see heavy load. Not really sure why you'd need a ups on a server that isn't going to be heavily used. Its an odd problem to have.

I don't know it will be pretty hard to top ghostbusters II, much less a classic like Blues Brothers 2000.

Dude, I'd have to kick my own ass, if I spent my time trying to watch TV over the internet.
In the same way that having a seat belt and an air bag in my car, doesn't change my driving habits. Using safer functions, shouldn't change the testing required.
Not accurately enough to be used in a court of law.

I like the text limit. It forces people to condense their thoughts. Too many people just whine on in email. Get to the freaking point.
