I guess those life-preservation pods he was sleeping in were just a scam? I admit I was surprised at news of his death. He had such means, I just figured he'd outlive me... Now I feel like I need a T-Shirt that says, "I outlived Michael Jackson."
No matter how much faster hardware gets, the software has to take advantage of the improvements. If you're using a bloated interpreted web-based language running on an OS that's not fine-tuned to your given piece of hardware and don't see huge improvements, perhaps one should evaluate the layers of innefficient code that you've rested your apps on... The Gaming Industry has had a lot of success in eeking out every cycle of performance possible, but they spend time tuning their products to hardware solutions.
I met my wife at a church single's group. If you're interested in more than just a casual relationship, I'd suggest looking for a woman of substance in a church group. On our first date, we played doom in the computer lab, she'd never done that sort of thing before, but laughed the whole time my other computer geek friends blew her away. I knew it was true love, because she didn't treat me as a child or that I'd someday grow out of what were at the time the antics of a geek. I think a lot comes down to your expectations. If you're looking to find a girl who is akin to the prolific pornographic images that are in the cyberworld, you're probably hopelessly lost without a prayer. But if you adjust your expectations to someone you can cherish in good times and in bad, and she you, then I'd suggest looking in a place where they teach that sort of thing still... Best of luck.
Let's see if I know my math...
(the price I paid) x (the tax rate) still = 0 cuz I paid nothing... if anything this will encourage piracy, cuz then you don't have to pay tax!
I dunno... sure we can rebuild him, but then that leads to the Bionic Woman, and we all know that inevitably means we'll have Fembots trying to take over the world... with their faces flipping off, and those freaky eyeballs on circuit board faces... Shudder!
If I use Linux over a pay OS I think I do give to the community. I don't have to develop source for it. I can use it, post a few questions now and then on message boards about why this or that isn't working, or asking questions. The free search engines pick up my questions, and eventually someone else benefits because I asked a question that someone found an answer for. I buy certain products from companies that require licenses, that run on Linux. I happen to know that many of those companies actually do contribute to open source. If I use their products and open standards, then my products are more compatible with open standards, even if they are my own. If its offered free, it should be free...
Fwiw, I vote verilog. There's a lot of legacy work done in VHDL, especially in government projects, but pretty much all new development is/has been/etc moving to Verilog, and with System Verilog being open source a lot of your verification tasks are even easier now. If you get a chance to use VCS, you can use C code and verilog together flawlessly. Verilog's rtl level grammar is easier to understand if you're at all familiar with programming concepts, and reads very much like C. Xilinx support for Verilog used to be pretty weak, but nowadays is on par with vhdl. I've worked with both, and find verilog easier to read because of the way that modules and interfaces can all be in a single file, where vhdl always had pieces more spread out, less contained modularly (though that might've been an implementation choice by vendors, dunno).
Clearly the only thing to do with a webpage where two parties are lying about whom the page belongs to is to follow the Bible... King Solomon had that whole issue with the two mommies wanting the same baby, and Solomon's solution was to cut the baby in half, and give each parent half. The evil mommy wanted half a baby, but the good mommy would rather see the baby live with evil mommy than split in half... and so... um... you could do the same thing with webpages... and um... cut them in half... and err... here's where it gets a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure, something would happen... that... um... err... forget it.
+Okay so this seems cruel and barbaric, but c'mon nowadays most parenting techniques involve a parent getting emotional and then going out and buying their child something because they feel bad they were upset at their child. Exactly how did your parents get you to study, if you were one who didn't want to stay put? I know there were times when this particular ball n chain solution was quite a bit more humane. And sometimes children need a little humiliation to choose something that's better for themselves... then again, I've a two year old... and were it not for the fire safety, I've contemplated putting the locks on the outside of his bedroom. Meh...
The change is no big deal, but I have to admit that as a C coder, I find the whole "need" to remove my ability to screw up my own programs... well... I dunno... It sorta robs the danger from the whole experience... How dare they civilize my C?:)
Dang! Someone give me 12 million dollars to simply MAKE a game, and I could get it done in ten years. By myself... Finding it hard to have pity for 3D Realms...
I got my masters mostly because I didn't want to leave the college social scene without first finding someone who I could marry. Once you leave school, the sort of people you meet in the professional world fall into an assortment of categories, most of which come with an ex-husband, all sorts of baggage, are married to their work, and/or have no interest in actually having a family and settling down. It's better to find a girl who's not so committed to the career that they can't make you a priority.
There were moral dillemmas in the movie. I thought the movie's theme was all about how to healthily deal with moral rage, differences because of your birth, and how one can still rise above understandable reasons for self-pity was well very done. There was a rather poignant moment when the old and new met, where that observation was driven home--that regardless of your circumstances, you can still be something.
It was an interesting movie. There was no lengthy speechifying and endless "peace summits" that occurs in most Star Trek Movies... and bogs them down to no end. There was not a lot of effort to overexplain the technologies in the system, and honestly, that was what made the movie refreshing. Star Trek has often been just a bit too in love with its technologies... this movie had cool stuff, and cool characters. I felt they took the best of the series and left out the heavy-handed contrived stories that bogged down all the many forms of teevee series.
Clearly the company's great founder Mr. Intel, is probably rolling in his grave right now. His vision of every child in Europe having his very helpful processor thwarted by moneygrubbers and kid-haters. Weep for Mr. Intel's lost vision.
I get the feeling that Media outlets are DESPERATELY Hoping that this will be a Pandemic... as if they're bored or really really really like human suffering... oh wait, what's that saying about if it bleeds it's frontpage news? Sigh.

I have a friend who developed a database technology that caught Microsoft's attention due to its amazing performance benefits over all dbs out there. My friend was extremely careful not to give M$ access to his systems, though they wanted executables so they could test it themselves. He forced them to give him their data vectors and queries for performance testing. He gave them the results in record time, he demoed it on his laptop in person. They tried to get him to join the company--he wouldn't. He wanted them to purchase the technology and had a set pricetag. The day after he got back from that trip, every server in his house that was attached to an outside network was hacked.
Fortunately, He keeps his source on a machine not attached to a network...so he kept it safe. But of course this story's only circumstantial... it's not like he could prove it was M$ mischief... but then, the timing was awfully curious.

And make the backspace key three times bigger with nothing over it...
And when these consumers under the bus get squished they all say, "Arrrrrrr!" And their parrots and peg legs go flying.
With all the bannings perhaps it will spark an social uprising. After all, how can you live life without Twitter?
Hey! Dontchya know that it's No fair to raise questions about Google tools!? They're all in Beta... all of em... forever...

That's always been the point of open source.

Wait a sec? Are you saying that Intel is just a big faceless megacorporation, and was NOT founded by a beloved founder named Mr. Intel?
Doh! My bad!
Clearly the company's great founder Mr. Intel, is probably rolling in his grave right now. His vision of every child in Europe having his very helpful processor thwarted by moneygrubbers and kid-haters. Weep for Mr. Intel's lost vision.
