And then you get people like me, who have rolled their own custom kernels, and just don't want to dick with it, because Ubuntu just works. I do development work, and I just don't care to always be recompiling my kernel with specific options, especially when the defaults work so well.
Freedom isn't always free... I'm considering getting one of these puppies. I just don't have a lot of time to devote to seriously developing for it, I'd just want to tinker with it more than anything.
Research says: no. Not on an integrated circuit. PCB's can have multiple layers, but the actual silicon of the chips cannot. That area of 3D chips is still in development (as I said above). Parent isn't informative, he's incorrect.
You mean on a modern PCB. An IC is a different ball of wax, and they're limited to a single layer at the moment. I mean, the research on 3D silicon techniques was still being presented as research a year ago.
If they offered a triple-core mobile chip with an ATI integrated graphics processor on the CPU, I would buy it right now. That would be great for power and heat savings, as well as performance in a mobile system. I'd even take it knowing that ATI's Linux support isn't quite there yet, just on the promise that it's coming.
Why isn't it brilliant for gaming? Games have more in common with scientific computing than they do desktop applications. 3D games run very math-intensive operations repeatedly. They don't need a lot of "general purpose" processing so much as they need screaming special-purpose performance. I'm not really up on the Cell's full architecture, but the multiple DSP's seem to make much more sense to me than just a straight-up general-purpose chip, or even multiple general-purpose chips.
Multiprocessor systems were just expensive until the multi-core systems started, and multi-core is really more of a reaction to not being able to crank up the GHz any further. I know you mean it tongue-in-cheek, but it really does make a little bit of sense;)
And there are even some that are EXACTLY that quiet: laser keyboards:) (I have no connection with the company, it's just the first result that came up in Google)
Yeah, you're right. Game developers will never win as long as there are douchebags like you who want to ruin the fun of the game for everyone who isn't cheating.
I hope you realize you're smarter and more logical than most 15 year olds:) That being said, I fully agree with what you said. Install some monitoring software if you want, check the logs, see what's happening. Hell, just check the browser history and bookmarks from time to time. Let your kids know you'll do this, and be understanding if you find a goatse link, and give them a chance to explain it before flying off the handle. ("Why is this picture of a gaping asshole in your history?" "That jerk Dean sent me that link." "And what did we learn?" "Dean needs a wedgie, and to not click on links from him" "Alright then. Carry on."). Teenagers need some room for freedoms, but they need some feedback and interaction, too. Keep that up, and everything will work itself out.
Just keep a log of it, and check it every now and then. That's all it takes. And as soon as you see something wrong, start intervening. Your kid will get appropriate feedback... behave, and life is nice. You get freedom. Misbehave, and bad things start happening, groundings, possessions taken away, embarrassment, etc. That's how my parents worked. I had my bedroom door removed a few times, things taken away, and I learned how to associate consequences with my actions. I like to think I turned out ok.
"just in case"? In case of what? You've inadequately prepared them to know what to do if they see something bad? Your kids will never learn responsibility if they know they're being watched 24x7. They'll just go hog-wild when they know they aren't being watched, because they won't know how to deal with things THEMSELVES.
Yes, let them have some. But if you just stop paying attention to them and giving them 100% free reign all the time, you end up with a messed up kid. It's been proven that teenagers don't have very good decision making skills. Being uninvolved and not providing consequences for bad decisions is not a good recipe for success in raising a child.
Even if they're pretty obnoxious and loud, the actual number of far-right-wing think-of-the-childreners is actually pretty small. Not enough to actually have a real market for that service. If there were, the market would have provided it. It has been tried. It just isn't feasible.
Do you trust the integrity of said sites? Motorola may have given them an incentive for a decent review. I know it's damn popular in game sites to do that, and most people researching phones aren't really "in" on how often these "pay-for-review" type things are.
I'll second that. I just switched to T-Mobile for the same reasons. I can use mp3 ringtones on my new BlackBerry 8800, my unlimited data plan actually includes computer-tethered usage, the internal GPS isn't disabled to force me to pay $15/mo a shitty add-on service. I've even convinced the rest of my family to switch, because they're tired of Verizon's abusive policies. They've done some good things, but they keep going back to screwing their customers, and I'm just done with it.
"Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana". You may write code for it, but there's no way to disambiguate the sentence meaning without the proper punctuation. So, it may not be part of the "grammar" like you understand it, but it is part of the grammar as far as English teachers and people who read books understand it. But then again, natural language processing is eons behind what a human can understand.
Note, that to have a sentence tree, one needs a sentence, which is necessarily ended by a period. You are using punctuation in your work, it's just implicit, rather than explicit.

Huh. Windows doesn't have any equivalent of suid then? Every time I learn more about Windows, I realize that it really isn't enterprise class.

/me pets his old 200MHz dual PPro...
Can't you use "Run As..." for just that software? Or hell, see if it'll run under Wine? ;)
What about a Tablet PC? I'll bet you could use one in a normal laptop style, and then draw out the diagrams on the screen as needed...
And there are even some that are EXACTLY that quiet: laser keyboards :) (I have no connection with the company, it's just the first result that came up in Google)

Great. How did that "bad code" get there? Did they close THAT loophole? Because if not, it's just a matter of time.

Because you know, pictures don't have any useful information in them. Ever.
...did you never sneak out of bed after everyone else went to sleep? I know I did.
Why even regularly? Let your kid know that you can, and will, whenever you feel like it. Random searches are as effective as constant thorough ones.

Looks like a complete muppet could use it, eh? The American voting system is much more complex than Canada's.
