The Cell Architecture grew from a challenge posed by Sony and Toshiba to provide power-efficient and cost-effective high-performance processing for a wide range of applications, including the most demanding consumer appliance: game consoles. Cell - also known as the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) - is an innovative solution whose design was based on the analysis of a broad range of workloads in areas such as cryptography, graphics transform and lighting, physics, fast-Fourier transforms (FFT), matrix operations, and scientific workloads. As an example of innovation that ensures the clients' success, a team from IBM Research joined forces with teams from IBM Systems Technology Group, Sony and Toshiba, to lead the development of a novel architecture that represents a breakthrough in performance for consumer applications.

Summary (from the article): "The research unfortunately only refers to the sales revenue rather than overall profits and market share." "Now traditionally, Windows based systems are more expensive than Linux based systems, so even if vendors sold lesser number of Windows systems, the price difference could ensure that Windows sales revenue was higher. This implies that, in terms of pure numbers, Linux could very well have outsold Windows."
Why should a self appointed committee decide whether my domain name.Tofu is acceptable or not?
Why should a self appointed committee decide on ALL domain names?
by their idea, after 10 years, if one wants to register a domain name, the only left ones will be 20 characters minimum.
Some division and grouping SHOULD exist.
According to the three-page document, to preserve the openness that characterizes today's Internet, "consumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement."
From my humble experience, these guidelines help with the subject of the article
1. Be at work 10 minutes before time
2. Leave on time or up to 5 minutes after.
3. Don't do overtimes unless it's happening at most once a week and it's paid.
4. Have your own strong principles and be professional, do what you are paid for, but keep in mind rule number 2.
5. When a 'funny' new idea/feature/concept is about to be discussed and possibly implemented, don't go nuts over it. Stay calm, state your view, sit down and shut up. The last part is important because regardless of the undesirability of the idea, if your boss wants it to be implemented, you'll have no choice anyway. Instead of being stressed out, refer to rule 2 and 6.
6. Once work hours ends, forget everything until the next day regardless of the pressure. Work isn't your personal life.
7. Remember that people treat you the way you've allowed them to do.

Just re-read the article with the following change:
"Many enterprises" -> "a few enterprises"
and you'll get the idea why everyone is more interested in getting younger people with new skill on new projects that running existing things for which there is new and better competition everywhere.
Looking at the idea from purely development standpoint, it seems that it fails to address:
1. Other clients on the same network won't by default implement their solution
2. One can still download files from other clients (how else can you determine if the content is legal?) and other networks
Although this might be considered a victory for the other side, it seems that for any given victory there are 10 new file sharing programs out there.
Furthermore, straight from their website:
"If an individual shares an unlicensed MP3 file, the LimeWire client will display the following message and prevent its distribution:"
How will the process go to determine if a mp3 file has a license? Maybe the only thing that this will achieve is destroy all filesharing of 'unlicensed' (READ: not the latest 'licensed'/paid/newest-format content) and destroy their client-base in the process too?
I've used Borland (Delphi) tools for over a year (a year ago). Not only it was buggy, but administering a service pack to "fix" (claimed by their tech support) these bugs was priced quite heavily. The service pack didn't fix some core issues we had so we scraped the whole thing and moved to VS. The decision was made after submitting endless support tickets which were left unsolved. Delphi might be an excellent tool for many needs, but for the ones we had, it simply wasn't built for.
I've heard over and over from people who've done some programming in this area that, although alternatives to VS exist they are either with far less features or buggy. Mod me troll but I believe that VS IDE is probably the best development environment around, and it might me possibly one of the reasons why many programmers are still coding for windows.
I fully understand your point. One cannot fully radically change the way how everyone lives right now, however what one can do, it introduce changes. Waste recycling program is the best thing so far because it raises awareness and solid percentages of people in fact are helping the idea. However the 'ban all DVDs in favor of downloadable content' idea won't be catching anytime soon. The carrier networks dream of optical cables to every house died with the boom, and so far, downloading 9GB from internet per DVD also requires a computer to be turned on for a long time so there is an expenditure of energy there.

you missed my point? :)
simple example for you: local stores registering global domain names.
Why should a self appointed committee decide whether my domain name .Tofu is acceptable or not?
Why should a self appointed committee decide on ALL domain names?
how about my.com, my.us, my.com.?
by their idea, after 10 years, if one wants to register a domain name, the only left ones will be 20 characters minimum. Some division and grouping SHOULD exist.
1. create a supercomputer ...
2.
3. profit
So, how exactly would you rank this post?

so, because acetylene is much more reactive, will the life based on it have faster metabolysm, thinking and reflexes?
