Interesting. So all the mathematical proofs I did for my undergrad CS classes aren't really proofs, but merely observations that support a current theory? I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Often called pretentious, the desire to have your work viewed and heard as a whole appeals to an older perception of music, one that I personally still subscribe to. It holds the idea of an album as a progression, as something that has a beginning and a conclusion, such as one might expect from a traditional symphony.
"LCD is now in plasma country, and this means war -- a war some say plasma can't hope to win"
I'm sorry, but unless (hundreds of) thousands of people die, defense contractors are sucking on the government's tit, and those who don't support the 'war effort' are ostracized because they are freedom-hating pinko nazis, you can't call it a good-ol' war.
Come on folks, it's time to prop up the economy that doesn't really exist with the racket that's called war.
One interesting bullet point in the spec list is that these boards are "Quad Core Ready"
Why aren't they claiming "Quad Core Support?" "Ready" sounds like you can plonk in those CPUs, but can't really use all four cores. Is this just marketing speak?

Modded funny? Paul Graham did just that with his Viaweb page editor and he made money while doing it.
Why in God's holy name does Windows fail to boot one time, and then boot successfully the second time?
Well, isn't that obvious?
Pristine Windows are squeaky clean and Oh, Shiny! Then you kick them very hard, because you're angry at Mac, and you start Bleeding, because of the sharp Edges. And since it's common to bleed quite a lot when booting Windows, your face may become Blue. That's a failed boot attempt. Now they're broken and lots of Glass is missing being replaced by Aero. That means you'll have to get new Windows and pay the Microsoft Tax. Vi$$$ta, baby! By now, frustrated, having had a blood transfusion, and your face flushed red like an Apple, you kick them very hard a SEcond time and, well, nothing really happens because it wasn't really supposed to work anyways. That's a successful boot attempt.
I do not think that media should be allowed to be replayed for free.
That's one of many options. If there a lot options, usually a free market can make the right decision (not the best, just the right). Let's get rid of the state-enforced monopoly that is copyright and see with what option businesses come up with. Try DRM? Fine with me. But don't legislate it.
I do not think that media should be allowed to be replayed for free. Significant amounts of money went into making TV shows and movies and the like
That's funny. Compare a Ferrari from 1983 (random date) that cost $230,000 to make and sold for $800,000 to a baseball card from 1930 that cost $0.02 and sold for $0.50. The Ferrari is less worth today, but the baseball card increases its value. Conclusion: the price of a good does not depend on the cost, but the on the desire of the buyer. The more desire there is for a product, the higher the price will be. Austrian Economics, check it out.
and any system must ensure that the producer gets his cut.
Good idea in theory. In practice, that's communism. And as we already know, that didn't and continues not to do so well. (Compare: someone who polishes turds. Should he get paid for the hard work he does?)
The C Standard Library function strcpy copies strings, which simply are arrays of characters terminated with a binary zero (NULL, NUL, \0). Strcpy doesn't check if there's enough space in the destination buffer, so depending where and how big your destination buffer is, strcpy will happily overwrite precious data. This flaw can be used for several severe attacks against OS security. An alternative to strcpy is strncpy, which relies on the programmer to provide the size of the destination buffer so that it knows when to stop copying/overwriting data.
PCs are becoming overconfigured underused status symbols and far less utilitarian.
Good! That means we'll have less people rice up their Hondas with fart-can mufflers and gullwings the size of a house. I can stand morons showing off their new ultra-elite PC setup, but I can't stand some Honda 890ccm engine roaring like a monster truck and farting like a machine gun. Fucking annoying pricks.
We were just piping/dev/random over a netcat connection and into/dev/null, too. Couldn't figure out how to do anything faster. Any ideas? Cause we were stumped.
