Honestly, the best thing Nokia could do would be to start putting out Android devices. I know they hate that idea, having poured so much into Qt, S60 and such but it's just the situation they are in. If they don't do it then they're going down in flames like all those other old businesses that couldn't keep up when the market went against them. The iPhone and Android markets are growing by leaps and bounds with thousands of new developers pouring in like crazy.
Nokia puts together superior hardware but they're not going to last unless they realize they have lost the OS/software war.
I'm with you. What I do like about the new design is that they went back to the original format for the Reply "buttons" and such (ie. they went back to links instead of those stupid buttons).
What I really want though is the original Slashdot. The version from 1997. That was clean and worked, I wish they had never changed it. Other than performance enhancements the original Slashdot was the best. The performance issues could have been solved without reformatting the site.
I think it's because video cards are becoming more like whole computer systems in themselves. More and more general purpose computing features and such. Just recently I have been playing with GPU development and I have to say that for certain tasks it's quite impressive.
Really $250 (GTX560) or $350 (GTX570) is not out of line for what you pay for a mid-range CPU, it makes sense that the video card is in the same ballpark.
Uh sure, or you could get a $125 nVidia GTX 460 and completely destroy that 5770 in terms of performance and features. Plus you get a lot better drivers.
Yeah but something has happened recently, maybe the spammers got a new tool or something because I have noticed a whole bunch of spam being posted on my reCAPTCHA protected sites. This just started in the last couple of days where previously I had none.
Just this week I have been searching for something Sci-Fi to watch that I haven't seen.
I'm looking for something like Firefly, Battlestar Galatica, Farscape, etc. Spaceships, alien planets, etc. Or something with worlds inside computers like The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, Caprica, etc.
I have seen most of the Star Trek TNG episodes and honestly didn't like it all that much. Same goes for the original Star Trek.
I have not seen much of Babylon 5 but I really didn't like what I saw. It's like watching a bad soap opera on the Spanish channel. The production values and acting are total crap. People have told me it gets better in season 2 but I watched some of that and it was barely any better. Not watchable if you ask me.
I have not watched any of the Stargate TV series but as far as I can tell it's not much of a spaceship show is it?
It's just a crappy system, we should be using public key encryption with our private keys stored on a USB key - or some other similar scheme, where we don't have to memorize a million randomized passwords in order to not have our identity stolen.
You can actually do that now with OpenID and a smartcard (actually, you don't need the smartcard but it's more secure than a USB/flash dongle).
Problem is most places don't implement OpenID (yet?).
Except the bid/ask does not impact impact most charts at all. Most charts (candlestick or otherwise) use the last trade prices. In other words they plot the actual trades not the bid/ask quotes.
Nobody plots the bid/ask prices unless they're doing it for some specific reason. Everyone knows they can be easily faked since no trade is actually happening.
Recently the exchanges are starting to get tougher on brokers as far as the maximum number of unfilled or modified orders they are allowed. In turn the brokers are getting tough on clients that are submitting too many of these bogus orders.
I forgot to mention that I get about 10-18 FPS in Firefox 3.6 (32-bit) on Linux and it's visibly choppy and blah. Firefox 4 may not be at the top but it seems better than Firefox 3.
That might be true for some stuff but for example when buying from Newegg the price is the same but you get the Bing discount. Also when doing Ebay.
There are often sales of items and many of us use Cashback to make those deals even sweeter. It really is a discount in many cases. Actually, I have personally never seen what you are talking about where it's the same price with or without Cashback. Usually I find the cheapest price then use Cashback to make it even cheaper.
Nobody uses Bing but tons of us use Cashback. I use it for nearly every single thing I buy online if I can. It's not always a lot, like Newegg is usually only 2% but it's better than nothing. Ebay usually gives good Cashback on Buy It Now stuff and I have used that to save lots (like 30% off the CPU I'm using right now). I have saved hundreds of dollars since they started the Cashback thing.
Sad to see it go. It is one of the primary discounts us bargain hunters use.
Uh, I'm pretty sure they meant they "can't" use DD-WRT after experiencing the much better Tomato firmware. I have to agree and it's why I'm still on G routers.
Are they actually genetically evolving a traditional neural network though? The article made it sound that way but it was light on details. I know the words they were using but I don't know if the author knew what they meant.
There is a possibility they are just using traditional genetic algorithm stuff where the "neurons" actually represent programming logic and not just simple weight values like what a "neural network" typically is.
I am curious as to the exact methods they are using if anyone knows.
The real problem with MagicJack is that their business model is not sustainable. ie. it's too cheap for what they offer. Currently they are burning money like crazy.
Eventually something is going to change. They're either going to have to change the pricing, seriously degrade their service (eg. too large of a customer base), or close their doors. The turnover of VOIP providers is insane, most go out of business. Establishing a phone number and then losing it or having to find a new provider because the company went out of business is a pain in the ass.
Time will tell but so far no VOIP provider has survived that had a model like MagicJack's (and there have been too many to count).
Note that using a smartcard in this case would not help you. Smartcards provide a protected place to put your keys and do "private" stuff (like signing) but all the same protocols are usually used on top of that (including SSL/TLS).
I doubt GNUPG Auth is without fault itself. It's really hard to do security and crypto stuff correctly. Really, really hard as even the best mathematicians, theorists and developers in the world get caught out all the time.
Slashdot Mirror
What exactly are you clicking on?
I click the comment ID number. For example your parent post is #35096290. If you click that from your comments page it takes you to the specific comment.
Is it just me or does the front page not show the number of comments any more? I really liked that and now it feels weird.
Any way to turn it back on?

Because jails often can only hold people for one year. They give that extra day so he goes to prison instead of jail. ie. it's a worse punishment.

OK, can we have an article that isn't behind a login/paywall?

It works in Linux with VLC if you cut and paste the URL. I have all the Medibuntu codecs installed but I don't know if that's required.
I forgot to mention that I get about 10-18 FPS in Firefox 3.6 (32-bit) on Linux and it's visibly choppy and blah. Firefox 4 may not be at the top but it seems better than Firefox 3.
I get about 25-30 FPS in the Firefox beta 1 (32-bit version) under Linux.
I get about the same as you in Chrome and Opera (64-bit versions, also Linux).

Everything you do online provides personal information in some way.

Yeah, I did strip my first test but forget on the one I posted because there wasn't much difference. On x86_64 the difference was negligible.
gcc -O2 -s -static hello.c
611280 bytes
Uh, so they don't have a dynamic linker yet. Consider this:
$ cat hello.c
#include
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("Hello, world!");
return 0;
}
$ gcc -O2 -static hello.c
a.out is 688272 bytes (x64_64 Linux)
Until they have a dynamic linking system, who knows.
