Eclipse has a great design no doubt. Automatic code generation through the use of omondo was very helpful in the work I have done with it. However, being a program written in Java it suffers from serious lag even with Java 1.5. It just cannot keep up with Anjuta or KDevelop in terms of raw speed. This may not seem like a serious impedement but it can make working with it quite irritating. Given that using java does give it platform independence, there are solutions like gtk for windows and mac or wx windows in terms of the gui.
Additionally, I have found it quite buggy when running it on Solaris and Redhat based systems at school where i've primarily used it. I shouldn't have to delete my workspace directory just to get it to run as I have needed to.
These issues need to be resolved before it can be considered seriously.
I plan on keeping my clothes for at least another 20 to 30 years after looking at the pictures in the article. Those clothes are absolutely hideous and when I press buttons I want something hard to push against, thats half the fun. Who wants to emit all of these "magic wellness molecules." Sounds a bit questionable to me. So you can keep smart clothes I'll stick with my current dumb clothes.
VoIP will not make it unless two things are satisfied:
1. That a standard protocol is established.
2. It is packaged in a convenient form so that minimal effort will be required of people switching from land lines.
The obvious attraction of VoIP is not enough on itself to make it succesful, rather it will need a big push in order to get going. All I have seen so far is that it has barely advanced beyond the simple voice chatting features of an IM client such as ICQ. It needs to become more than just a fancy feature to list out. A standard protocol is without question the key as it was the creation of the 802.11 protocols that allowed WiFi to take off into what it is today.
my 2 cents.
If you don't bother to read the article then at least read the slashdot post. We mentioned earlier this year that the Matrix sequels would be Imax-sized.
The services themselves don't even really matter. Just set all the default policies in iptables to reject and only open up ports that need to be opened and have been secured. As long as the computer is not accepting connections, it cannot be hacked. Assuming of course that all internal connection handling done before rejecting the connections is secure.
Lets be realistic, electric motors have a tremendous amount of torque. Anyone who has driven a golf cart knows this. I better the electric cars will go from 0 to 20 in 2 seconds at most.
I use my saturday mornings to read slashdot and now that the saturday morning tv era is ending my fellow children will join me and tube on. I completely agree that sunday morning was fairly entertaining watching the religious fanatics knocking people over as they run around screaming and on their stages just like Steve Ballmer(read his bio on MS, it says he runs every day).
ProTools is terrible, well at least the free version is. 5 seconds into recording it crashes every single time. I have tried the 8 track and 32 track version and they both crash repeatedly although at different times. And why do they only run in win 98 thats probably half the problem there. Anyone else have this problem and then solve it?
Well if it runs the house anything like HAL ran the space ship in 2001 then you can count me out. I don't want my house trying to murder me and spy on me all the time through big red cameras. Just staring and then speaking in that boomy voice.

It sounds like a great project but native driver support and linux, whoa back right up. For most consumer hardware that is far form a reality. Personally I have an ATI card so this is good for me but it may take quite a while to ad support for others. I can't wait to give it a try though should be exciting to see and work with because gui speed definently is lacking in the major desktops for linux which just slows down the programs that run on them.
Sharing memory is not necessary in distributed programming if the variables are kept mostly local and a single computer works mainly with what it has stored in its local memory. This is very applicable to renderfarms where the acceleration scheme itself works very well for distributed rendering because methods such as the grid subdivides into cells each of which can be stored on and evaluated on a single computer with its local memory. Only a central computer is needed to control these nodes and store the ouput which is of very limited size and without great computational needs.
We need to go to a 64 bit architecture so that we can can avoid the more than 1 byte sector issue aswell because that takes considerable overhead. In addition, the chemical reactions used in a protein drive would make it much faster than the reading and writing to a magnetic driver.
Does anybody remember the microwave energy plant in Simcity 2000 and when the microwaves became dealigned wreaking havok on neighboring buildings? What if that happened here, random microwavings, a new hazard to living.
Thats not a trackball, its just like our the modern pc mouse with the wheel turned sideways making it much more difficult to use. Apple's mice are the primary reason I dislike Apples so much. I like my second mouse button and that functionality of holding down a button then clicking to get the menu on the mouse is just another step I don't need. Also, who designed those round mice? Those are the least ergonomically comfortable mice I have ever tried. IHMO they are just trying to make up for lost ground.
Were gonna have a huge mass of incompatible hardware with lots of advertising for products on amazon, gonna be wireless with one of the standards making it only usuable in one part of the bay and will actually be made to play online games with. ha ha ha, actually that sounds a lot like modern laptops if you outfit them completely.
The xmen story is about persecution of mutants and not genetically modified humans. They are still all natural just with super powers that radicals within the government percieve as a national security threat.
Cisco is playing lab dog to the government but not its customers. Isn't our privacy guaranteed within the constitution preventing actions anywhere near this? Shouldn't simple encryption be able to circumvent the schemes that are being implemented into the hardware?
Look at duke nukem forever and host of other games that were supposed to come out years ago. When a game as big as hl 2 is being made they will take as much time as needed to make it as good as possible even delaying the release. Who knows when it will actually come out.
No one can make such a predication, what if there is a new linux that gets developed that completely revolutionizes computer use. Linux is only 10 years old and look at the influence it has gained in that short period. I don't think that linux will be that last of the computer OS revolutions.

I already get a warm fuzzy feeling from the static off my crt when I hug it and it's been running for a while.
Additionally, I have found it quite buggy when running it on Solaris and Redhat based systems at school where i've primarily used it. I shouldn't have to delete my workspace directory just to get it to run as I have needed to.

Its still completely free using a link below the rest. here.
Personally, when the possibility of mixed species was suggested I could only think of one thing, human and chimp.

Well at least we'll be able to use our second set of arms to do our code monkey work at twice the speed.
