Today this is an amazingly interesting read, and probably a good reminder of why you should trust your professors to teach you some techinal things, but leave the practical decisions to people who actually "do" things.
A choice quote, referring to the 80386: "I think it is a gross error to design an OS for any specific architecture, since that is not going to be around all that long."
True in theory, but practice has a nasty habit of wrecking theories. That said, his concerns about portability turned out to be unfounded as well.
The planet is one of the largest hosting providers in the country. In fact if you check netcraft's Sites on the Move you'll see they rank #5 in terms of the number of websites added in the last 24 hours. They've added over 400 in the last day. Ahead of Yahoo, Register.com, Verio and others.
I think you may be confusing them for some small shared hosting provider.
This isn't true. I heard an article on NPR the other day . .. The scientific evidence that humans are affecting the climate with CO2 is as clear as day, and scientists who say otherwise are hired by special interest groups or oil companies.
This is known as poisoning the well. Since when do arguments based on heresay and logical fallicy get modded +5 insightful?
It looks like an interesting concept, but not much we havent seen before. The real difficulty is in making the games playable without interferance from accidental motion screwing things up. If this were more than an interesting gimmick then imagine the frustration of getting to the end of some game and having a cat jump on your shoulder or sneezing.
How many % of all end-user machines are running Microsoft Windows?"
Significantly less than the % af rooted Win boxes.
There are more rooted Windows boxes than there are Windows boxes?
Actually that should be read as "The percentage of end-user machines running windows is (significantly) less than the percentage of windows machines that have been compromised (rooted).
It's possible that that could be true, though not likely, since if 95% of users run windows, its unlikely that more than 95% of those systems have been compromised. It's certainly not possible for it to be a statistically significant number.
That said, I would just like to point out that this whole thing is rather silly.
Agreed. I've never even used my Xbox to watch a DVD. I bought it to play games not track my stocks or turn on the lights when I come home from work.
I've got the same problem with my new wizbang Nextel/Motorola cell phone. It's smaller does a zillion neato things, but it gets consistantly worse reception than the one I had for the last three years that simply called people.
I've been using Zend Studio for about a year and a half now, and it's a great IDE for doing PHP stuff. It has code completetion, a nice debugger, good integrated documentation, and a host of other nice features. I run it on both my Windows and Linux boxen, and I absolutely love it.
It's 4% of the total market, but it represents a 12% loss within their customer base. Further the Cell phone market base is increasing at a fairly brisk pace, so it represents quite alot in terms of revenue $$$.
Secondly, if you're an investor in a company that was the big player, and you see declines like this, you start thinking of other investment opportunities.
Japan. Oriental setting and the city dont know what the city is getting... The creme de la creme of the chess world and a show with everthing but Bin Laden.
Time flies! Doesn't seem a minute since Yugoslavia had the chess boys in it All change dont you know that when you play at this level its no ordinary venue?
In New York or Afganistan or Iraq... or this place!
One night in Tokyo and all jews are bastards... Not much between self hate and insanity You'll find a spook in every karaoke bar and if your lucky you've still got your qeeen I can feel deportation creeping up on me.
(ok, so the execution was weak, but you get the idea)
To allow optimization for depth, a new kind of distribution is needed--a componentized distribution from which users may build platforms from the bottom up, including only the features and technologies their products require.
But isnt this one of the key ideas behind Gentoo? Either way I think I'll have to check this out more. Good to see more of this over the "just bundle everything with an i386 build" approach.

Pierre de Fermat wrote something like that in the margain of a book. He was refering to an alleged proof he had of what became known as "Fermats last theorem" which states:
For all positive integers n > 2 there are no solutions to the equation A^n + B^n = C^n for non-zero integers A, B, C.
This reply is, strictly speaking, entirely offtopic. Feel free to moderate it as such.
On the next to the last page, (currently 35) the ID jumps from 52 to 40308344, then after some obviously bogus passwords jumps again to 73993649.
I suppose this was during their testing phase, but who knows. It seems that a comprehensive database of real md5 hash / plaintext combos could be a very powerful thing (assuming these were honest-to-goodness actually used passwords).
So much is made about filtering content for children, presumably to prevent them from wandering upon unsuitable content. The fundamental flaw with this (techological limitations notwithstanding) is the notion that kids under the age of 13 or so should be left alone to browse the net.
It seems to me that proper parenting requires an active participation with your kids, whether it be in watching TV, checking out books in a B&N, or spending time on the net. Simply throwing in a vchip, blocking channels or applying hole-ridden filters can never be a substitute for actively being entertained, lerning, etc. alongside your child.
Partly for the content (lets face it, the articles are ten times more interesting than the drivel in PC Magazine), but mostly becuase I feel like its important to have subscriptions to smaller run magazines with topics important to me.
As for Linux Magazine, I want to believe, but they just get thinner and thinner...

Whoops.
I dont need 440,000 words, and neither do most others. I use Linux because it makes me feel happy. And I feel like I'm in control.
That said, kudos to the wordy crowd too.
