Don't those Chinese know that they do not own pop culture -- you can't just riff off of other people's intellectual property like that. The world isn't a 6 billion-person jazz ensemble!
Yeah -- you mean to tell me those geezers playing with packet radio in the '70s and '80s never bothered to push email messages between stations until after these guys files their patents? I find that hard to believe.
Who the heck was in charge of the OSI when all these stupid licenses were being approved? I know there was a huge fuss about some of the crap being approved back in the day. I always felt it was somewhat of a sham meant to give cover to commercial organizations wanting to create "almost open source" licenses. Anyone really desiring to release open source already had a plethora of valid and tested licenses to choose from.
Massive Collective Stupidity by Adults that Should have Known Better! You are grossly overestimating the intelligence of the average school administrator!
Yeah, knowing they were school administrators, the first half of the sentence (though redundant) made sense. He lost me once I hit the second half.
Have those MIT eggheads studied the effects of massive amounts of cash on the moral compass of humans? Is the magnetic susceptibility correlated to the amount of cash required? It would be nice to know just how much I'll need to offer going into the deal. Probably worth a Nobel in economics, that one.
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for in an open source driver: OpenCL support. It's not going to happen for years. If you are doing GPGPU programming, you are using proprietary drivers. Period.
That was my thought when reading that statement as well. Modern x86_64 chips have quite a bit more horsepower than SPARC64, so it could work out. The endianness difference might cause some inefficiencies though.
The traditional analysis supporting "here are two" treats the sentence as having been inverted into verb-subject order, an unusual order for English. Dialects admitting "here is two", on the other hand, treat "here" as a singular subject referring to "the set presented here", in the same sense that "everyone" is singular, and "two" becomes the complement.
The two's complement theory of English grammar?
You can call it a dialect if you want, but, in printed form, it should get you a failing grade in English everywhere English is taught on this planet.
SGI should be on that list. It was amazing to watch their death spiral in the mid-late 90s. That brand is way more tarnished than Napster (which didn't have much of a brand to tarnish).
That's only partly true. In '94 BSD was even or ahead of Linux in terms of features. The reason Linux ended up "the winner" is because there was a stark difference between the two communities in welcoming newbies into the fold. #unix was the place to go on IRC for abuse. In stark contrast, the folks on #linux were very patient and helpful.
I had both 386BSD and Slackware downloaded to floppy. I ended up running Linux because I was welcomed by the Linux community. Not so much with the BSD crowd. A little kindness is all it took to make Linux the world's most popular Unix OS.

You all fail. Since this is in the UK, they drive proper off-road vehicles. The question is "what model Range Rover you got?"

Solaris isn't dead.
It's just pining for the fjords.

"'The difference is so infinitesimal that it might defy belief that anyone, even physicists, would care"
Does this sentence bother any one else? Just me?
Just about everything I read in the popular press these days bothers me.
So, are there any GUT theories out there which predicted this outcome?
But they do get cheaper over time.

An alternate theory is WIMP. You can imagine which ones the nerds prefer.

Actually, there is a very simple and quick fix when technical debt becomes overwhelming. Often it's the only fix. CTOs and CIOs do it all the time.
Quit.
Often that is the only way to catalyze the change required for companies to begin reducing their technical debt.
You obviously do not belong here.
Nerds only have one time zone: UTC
Mac? Who said anything about Mac? OS-9 was not an Apple OS.

Have these people not heard of Thomas Gold? http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/99/1.28.99/Gold-book.html

Read up on Maxwell's Demon. I think the key piece you are missing is that this would be passive heat removal.
My understanding is that Sun can no longer extend gccfss past GCC 4.3 because of the GCC license change.
