what's that? i think i hear the wahmbulance coming.
stop being such a crybaby. you are reading/browsing *free content* you moron - they are just trying to figure out how to make better advertisements. how does it hurt that they are loading extra crap from your browser? geesh. think you *deserve* free content w/o ads or ways to improve demographics and targeting just because you are *special* or something? adjust your tinfoil hat and get over yourself.
fundamentally, this is about reporting accountability - and bloggers have NONE.
at least reporters when they get busted for bad behavior have a possibility of getting shafted by their employer. bloggers? they can lie, misalign and publish libel all day long without any reprocussions.
bloggers are neat and all, but i think once they gain an audience they can become corrupt and lazy. ie. following the "blog = googlenews/slashdot link + opinion" formula without thinking at all.
microsoft systems have done parallel computing just fine for many years.
in 1998 a 16 node NT system at UC Berkeley broke the worlds record for parallel sorting (the previous record was held by a solaris cluster.)
parallel microsoft systems work very well - and note there is nothing *magic* about the linux operating system and parallel systems. it's just an operating system - almost all parallel computing is done in user space.
check your facts you freaking bigotted morons. i dont know why i bother reading the comments on slashdot - so many idiots, but in this case even the article submission was in error.

>You mean Christian. I take offense as I am a Buddhist and believe in god.

>If preserving freedoms that so many have died to create and protect is liberal, so be it.
um, okay.
>OK. So what if childless people have common sense that a parent should raise a child.
look, if you dont have kids you simply have NO IDEA what you are talking about when it comes to raising children. it doesnt mean that you are dumb, or even that your ideas arent correct - it just means you are talking out of your arse.
if you have NEVER played football, but you've watched it on tv a lot - I DONT WANT YOU GIVING ME ADVICE WHEN I'M GETTING MY ASS KICKED ON THE FIELD. ya know what i mean?
ive read through this thread (ugh, yeah - i shouldnt read the comments, just the articles) and i'm so bummed by how biased the moderating is.
the slashdot crowd is so religiously godless and radically liberal and most of 'em dont even have kids so they are talking out of their arse when they speak of parenting (and most of the ones that do have kids frighten me.)
this is not going to get modded at all, or -1 troll if anyone bothers to read it, but on principle i will submit it anyway.
it'd be neat if slashdot was more balanced, but most techno-geeks are hardcore bigots in their own special way anyway. i guess we're all lucky they are techno-bigots instead of lynch-mob bigots, but the thought process is still the same. freaky, huh? in another time/place these whacko's would be running progroms against windows users or something. sad.
On March 8, 2004, Professor Tanenbaum sent me the following e-mail:
"MINIX was the base that Linus used to create Linux. He also took many ideas from MINIX, including the file system, source tree, and much more."
this is it. this is the most important statement in the whole freakin big deal. if this is true, then there is a case. if it is not, then it's all bogus.
very cool - but the holy grail is to make a _fanless_ computer. fans are moving parts. moving parts are bad.
if you just make the loud moving parts silent, then you are only removing the symptoms - but the real problem is still there: moving parts prone to failure.
its a good idea until they get heat pipes to work with 100W processors.

i completely agree with you - the solution is to have a graduated ROE scale.
ie. the amount of ROE you get penalized is equiv. to the amount of honor you have. that would mean somebody with no life and 85 honor would get brutalized if he tk'd somebody - like knocked down a full honor point instead of just a few hundred ROE.

btw - i've never played madden and i have no interest in sports games.
i heard one of the VP's of EA talk about it at a conference a few weeks ago. freakin amazing sales numbers.

AAO has nailed it. it's all about the "Honor" system that they created - it's an implicit anti-idiot feature which all but eliminates the morons that show up online when you are playing.
BF1942 would be a great game, if it weren't for all the tards that show up. they need the honor system - AFAIK AAO is the first and only online game that uses it. here is why this is important.
the gaming industry is HUGE - it is bigger than the theaterical movie theater industry (ie. revenue from ALL movies in ALL theaters in the US doesn't even come close to touching the revenue from GAMES.)
in fact, if you combine all the money made by LOTR it's about the same as Madden Football (and that game didnt cost a zillion dollars to make)
anyway - so dis the US army all you want, but they are paving the way for serious anti-idiot game play.
