  1. Re:Assembling static data on Firebird Relational Database 1.5 Final Out · · Score: 1

    Have a look at the latest MySQL beta specs.

  2. This is not clever. on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1

    I tell you what DARPA, have a look at pro cycling. Check out the numbers of people who just fall over dead that are (were) pro cyclists. In the last 13 months, 8 have died. 4 of them were less than 25 years old. These boys have gone through a far more tough selection process than grunts do. And yet, when you make unreasonable demands upon even their freakishly capable bodies, they stop working eventually. Whether DARPA actually cares about this is another question. But, humans are human. I think this shows, yet again, how little the upper echelons of the US admin actually care about soldiers.

  3. Re:Bjarne Stroustrup on Hackers Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    Lincoln Stein has knocked out a couple of nice LOC too... perlers are the essence of hack anyway.

  4. revolutionize the nature of warfare ? on New Optical Chip Claims 8 Trillion Operations/sec. · · Score: 1

    Excellant. This is obviously the new metric for benchmarking technology, how many Palistinians it can kill per time unit... I have no doubt that Major-General (Ret.) Isaac Ben- Israel et alia are keen followers of advances in computer hardware.
