Brail terminal support would be great as well. The problem with this is that a 80 character brail terminal costs almost eleven thousand ($11,000) dollars each.
Whoa, that price is really bizarre. It would be interesting to know whether there are hardware developers here that have experience creating FPGAs for such devices. A project to research the feasibility of cheaply producing such a device would be interesting.
We need a better focus on software based voice systems.
When speaking in terms of "software requirements", this is a broad one. It would be very interesting if you could state requirements that are much smaller. That way, they could simply take the form of bugs/issues.
Can you name software packages that would be much more usable "if only" they took care of this or that little thingy?
Well, thanks for some great articles. I have to say though, that a small part of those articles really read like a reference. The articles then often miss a paragraph or two describing the subject more intuitively. For the rest, great work.
frighteningly large number of people willing to explain Super Mario Bros. continuity or the mechanics of Klingon spaceships.
I never looked up those. I did look up stuff for my study and it's all there: genetic algorithms, chaos theory, Sierpinsky triangle, Hilbert space, et cetera.
All you w/should probably need is OpenDoc->Office XML Doc format XSLT script.
[sarcastic]Yeah, how hard can that be?[/sarcastic]

Yep, I didn't want to add flexibility in clothing layers either. So today, I showed up naked at the office. Of course, there were some funny looks, but I think that will pass.

This is slashdot. Of course this gets modded informative...
The subject says it all. Every morning when I sit down at the desk, I roll up my sleeves and lift my pencil about 10 times.
On a more serious note, in my experience it does help to exercise those muscles a bit. You can do it with your own weight. Do a few press ups and sit ups while watching TV. If you don't have the discipline for that, install a break reminder. When it pops up, put your hands flat on the desk and press real hard for about a minute.
No need to get pedantic. The difference was 10 times as slow for the hosted Xen. Now I agree that there are loads of assumptions here, but I just wondered where the poster got its information from.
It's a hosted solution; I only have access to the guest OS. The solution is advertised as Xen 3.0.1. I don't know the storage system. I didn't have performance issues; I just ran unixbench and saw that it took a LONG time, see the results here: unix_bench_xen_budgetdedicated.
I ran unixbench in a hosted Xen and it took ten times as long as on my workstation at home. So no, I don't think the performance is very impressive. I do think the rest is impressive, though.
Yes, indeed, they ran out of them. The software development method at Microsoft involves a giant, living, evil machine which has some sort of mouth on one end. This is where programmers are fed into. It then outputs shrinkwrapped boxes on the other end.
It's legal in canada to say "I hate all $GROUP" as long as you don't say "kill $GROUP".
Are you freaking NUTS showing the use of variables like that?? I have submitted this message to abuse@slashdot. When one of those hate-mongering idiots finds out how they can use bash its for loops and your use of variables, we'll have World War III on our hands.
because its got potential as a great APPLICATION platform.
I think that for Eclipse to be fully embraced by Linux application developers, the CDT plugin will need to mature some more. I'm not seeing Java become more adopted.
Anyway, I tried working with Eclipse + CDT, but for medium-sized applications programmed in C (> 5000 lines) it's not really nice.
The indexer is very slow (but that's being worked on) and in my experience, gets in the way of other background processes. Turn it off and you lose
Refactoring is extremely limited, not even 'extract method'.
Editor is not equal to the Java editor yet.
"Clicking through" (i.e. CTRL + left-click) takes you to a header file, while often you want to see the implementation. The workaround is to right-click and choose Open Definition, but don't do this immediately. You might end up in a similarly-named function which you didn't include through a header file.
Hovering over a function will show the start of the function definition, but only if the function body is located in the same file. Otherwise nothing will be shown but the function name.
Hovering over a constant will show nothing.
On the other hand, these guys are REALLY working on it. I especially applaud Doug Schaefer and the rest of the team too, of course.
I have told my PHB that when they are ready to pull the trigger on AD I will be happy to go get my MCSE...hey for me, M$ means double or triple our staff and job security...
If you're in it for the money, you can probably better move elsewhere and get some Linux certification (maybe from Novell).
Mod parent up. Tom, I just love PMD and have used it in several projects. I've put it in the context-menu of JDeveloper, ran it on the commandline and used it to report on nightly builds. It's easy and doesn't get in the way with a gazillion useless warnings.

I heard it works quite well.

Great story. If you get ever in shit again, open up a Paypal account and see if we can chip in for a nice holiday or something (no offense meant).
