I am surprised nobody mentioned Robson Technology, something proposed by Intel to speed up things including boot times... The technology will be launched sometime in 2007... i suspect middle of 2007... here's the link to some details http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1936630 ,00.asp... you can also google for it..
This has always been a problem in US. You see something like this and it get blown in full proportions. You will see Lou Dobbs on CNN talking about off shoring everyday and "experts" talk about losing jobs. While it's true a lot of people lose their jobs to offshore market the overall thing I have seen is actual improvement. As for example the IT market in Midwest is growing tremendously. I have seen more IT jobs been put out there than others. The thing is people will just believe anyone who is shouting and not try to find out on their own what the situation is. Call it a bad PR.
Having said that I have seen enough bitching in slashdot itself showing the general mentality of IT geeks. No offence guys but this can be really attributed to what you hear everyday. There is never anyone who analyzes the overall picture which would show that they would need more people to manage here even if they offshore jobs to foreign countries inciting more jobs. Have you heard that lot of software companies in India and China actually open up branches here in US and hire people here to meet the needs of US companies? What does that tell you? Economics at its best. Just because we are going through a rough period, this is the situation.
I guess it is time to analyse the situation and make most of it rather than just bitching about it. My 2 cents.
FTFR: You've probably studied the quadratic equation-- ax^2+bx+c=0-- as well as the quadratic formula, used to solve this equation-- x= (b(+/-)sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
The roots of the equation are x = (-b(+/-)sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
Talking about moving asteroid reminds me of an episode in Star Trek:TNG where they use Jordi's visor technology to send high frequency pulses to move a core fragment that was en route to destroying a society based on controlled genetic breeding.
Did you guys read at the end of TFA that the screenshots were taken from a Google Cache: Screenshots from Google for a story on Yahoo playing prank on Google.
That can also be seen as
Google: I have got your screen shots in my cache now, I will never forget it. Revenge will be mine Yahoo: nyann nyann nyannn...
I completely agree to this. I am a foreigner here and working in US. After coming here I have seen lot of american opinions compared to a "frog in the well". What you need to do is get out of the well and then respond.
I have lot of african friends in IT industry. So how did they get to know this. I have clients that operate our software back in south africa. Oh wait, they must be just clicking without knowing anything right? Agreed, the economy has to come a far way but providing means to develop this is as much necessary, that means free software, etc. Wasn't it also true that India was behind the curve 15 years ago and now we see most slashdotters bitching about losing jobs to them. Welcome to a global world. Stop living in the well!! Mod me flaimbait, but this is the truth.
Wow I must have too much to drink... I am seeing double... or I need new prescription glasses.. wait.. I am on slashdot.. its just a high tech phenomenon called a "dupe"... Phew...
You betcha. I keep in mind to not sit in front of my computer after 9 pm. Unfortunately I have taken to watching tv and watching adult swim till late night. Arghh....
There have been many application unfortunately they haven't reached a stage of commercial production on a large scale. In my graduate study, I did a project on Carbon Nanotubes and applications. Here is a site that shows applications of nanotubes in animation.
It's absurd to say that playing a violent video game is the cause of violence in the society. The problem is more deeper and lies in how the person was raised and how he interacts with other people in his neighborhood. I have played plenty of violent games in my childhood and I am just fine and I have no urges of killing people on the streets. I have increasingly seen laws in US tacking baseless things than the root problems. One of the reasons might that on doing so might come and bite them in their behinds one day. I wonder when will someone realise this.
While I agree on some part of your argurment it is not entirely based on theft. As well all know all science progress has been due to the result of collaboration on various studies and deriving from it. Once the ideas drain out on western front, necessity will drive the people in Asia to come up with novel ways and new ideas. Besides necessity is the mother of invention. It is a crude cycle and it will never end.
If you have noted lately that directors are now making movies and try to give some scientific proofs (read Godzilla, etc.). This can become a new premise for Romero to produce another horror flik (read Land of the Dead part 2).
Actually, India was a single country till the Brits came around. It was their policy of "divide and rule" that is now what is known as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh which was a single country before.
Ditto to that. But I have that opinion for EE. I liked doing hardware things and got myself a degree in EE. Due to economic demands and American Immigration laws I find myself working in IT right now and really hate it. I would really like getting a job to do some chip design somewhere.
And now that you posted the links to the website all the slashdotters who visit the link will come under FBI scrutiny. Wait a minute, nobody RTFA anyway. My bad, carry on!:)
If the point is not clear one should program to get maximum Instruction per Cycle (IPC). This is what essentially is obtained via multithreading i.e. the ability to execute more instruction in a given cycle.
From the review: Last time Robertson launched something with "Beam" in the name it led to avalanche of lawsuits and more then $150MM in legal payments with BeamIt from the old MP3.com
And maybe this time RIAA will be after him.
From TFA: This prime has 7,816,230 digits, which makes it not only the largest Mersenne Prime, but also the largest prime of any kind ever discovered
If p1,p2.. pn are primes than p1*p2*..pn+1 is always a prime. I can always construct a prime using this to get a larger prime. I think he meant largest Mersenne prime discovered of any kind.

I just VPN into my work PC and use mapped drived to move data. No need to move data and risk losing it because of some bump on the road.

I agree with the person. This is especially true with headaches with dealing with EU. There is an article detailing speech from Tony Blair on this.4 9376&headline=Tony~Blair~spooks~Europe~over~India

Uhuh!! 1 is not a prime number
