That's because, windows 2K was the first (Microsoft) usable operating system intended for desktops. (Windows NT was targeted at servers) Its predecessor Win9X is perhaps responsible for the majority of Microsofts notorious reputation regarding stability and security.
while it's fun being a semantics nazi, the point of the grand-parent was to demonstrate bad user experience - due to bad performance.
while user experience is subjective, most of us, won't bother dwelling so much with the definitions of user experience, or bloat, or bad design, but rather try being productive and useful by "understanding" what the grand-parent is trying to say.
It's obvious to everyone, that perhaps even the most bloated software will run smoothly on a supercomputer. that fails to see the point.
Your reply was pointless, useless, unproductive and does not serve any purpose other than avoiding the point and wasting our time.
That's simply wrong. When you shrink a die you get better yields.
Usually, an imperfection ruins 1 complete die. if you shrink each die, say by half, then only the half-die that the imperfection was located on, would be thrown away - but the other half, is left intact.
That said, the problems that come from shrinking dies is usually technology related - Stronger leakage currents, increased wire delays and many other physical effects that matter less for larger process technologies.
I don't think that teleportation without measurement is useful.
You should note, that by saying "measurement" you're actually referring to any sort of interaction between the teleported particle and its surrounding.
You don't always have to use a ruler to call something a measurement, you know...
That might be to true if you're reading large sequential (not fragmented) data. In real life, its more like: write hundreds of thousands of small chunks (few KB each) to many different locations.
The seek time dominates the performance - that's why flash storage wins here.
Copy On Write - does not indicate in any way what is copied - It just says WHEN it's copied.
Perhaps it's the entire file that is being copied? it did change after all or Perhaps it copies just the modified block/cluster?, or Better yet, It could be just the few bytes that were changed! They all, interestingly enough, fit exactly into the description of Copy On Write.
Maybe if it was called "CCBOW" as in "Copy Changed Block On Write", you'd have a case... but it seems you're just a moron trying to troll around.
After actually reading TFA:
But fired repeatedly, the machine could well be the fusion machine that could form the basis of an electrical generating plant only two decades away.
I understand this as "this machine could be the basis for a new power plant design within 20 years from now".
seems like a long wait just for a theoretical power-plant draft...
If someone could spy on you from within the cloak, it would no longer be invisible, since he would have to absorb photons coming from the object he's observing, instead of passing them through.
this in turn would make him look like a "dark" spot instead of invisible.
I completely agree with you!
SG-1 should have ended after season 8.
And what's up with this?:
new episodes of 'SG-1' and 'Atlantis' start airing April 13 in the U.S., on The SCI FI Channel.
SG-1 has ended after season 10. There won't be any new episodes on April.
Which is why the JNode folks are working on a fully modern OS written in 100% Java. Including the kernel and drivers.
How are they going to pull that off?
Don't you need a Java VM to run Java code?
So if the kernel would be the first thing ran on the system, where would it get its VM?
Seems like a chicken and egg problem...

Besides, you'd expect something like this (Software Research) from Microsoft or Google... But Intel?!

That's obviously assuming that all Firefox downloads distribute normally amongst internet users.
I suspect it to be quite different (think, "auto-updates").

you know, if you're gonna "censor" all the "bad" words (fsck, idijts) you better just avoid them in the first place.
it looks silly.

Technically, it's harder to reverse a (good) cryptographic hash function than to kill an individual.

I suppose you've never seen /zombie processes in linux...
too bad most of us have.
It probably just over-written the MBR...
you should have used a boot manager.
Agreed.
Though, I still believe that pure data is always safe. It's the viewer that's susceptible to exploits.
Ain't you the genius?

Couldn't find real-world information about space and performance overhead.
Does it store many copies of each file? or only the differences between the old and the new version?
Why not just send married couples?
Seems simple when you think about it...

They didn't identify the genes... they developed a method that might help in identifying these genes.

Am I the only one who's concerned with the health risks involved with all these increased dosages of electromagnetic radiation exposure?
I'm pretty sure that we're all the Guinea pigs of tomorrow.
Soon enough we'll start comparing the cellular industry with Tobacco industry.
