Well, no, the last piece of PS2 hardware (and hence PS2 compatibility) was removed with the release of the CECHG-model (40GiB fat model). But the poster claimed Sony removed PS2 support from new firmwares like OtherOS was removed. I wouldn't know because I didn't actually boot my 60GiB PS3 for a long time, and it still has 3.41 firmware with PS2 support. I bought a bunch of PS2 games for my PS3 (and I don't own a PS2) so I wouldn't be happy if newer firmwares had it removed, even if I haven't had time to use it lately!
Assuming the usb-hack was developed by Chinese as opposed to merely sold to them...
And it very likely built on geohot's hypervisor hack (which was the first hack, not counting the RSX incident, and it was splendidly successful by the way)
Please don't bring back the old efuse again...Everytime Sony did anything, there was always the ignorant "OMG! They blown an EFUSE!!!111" comments being tossed around, of course without the slightest evidence of it being true (because it of course wasn't)
I'm not up-to-date on the PS3 hack status, but fail0verflow talked about a hardware downgrade during their conference talk. This is what allowed them to claim game-over for Sony, even though metldr wasn't compromised at that point. Is this downgrade also dependent on metldr (or lower) being non-updatable?
The transcripts of the Apollo missions have been available online for a long time. Apparently these are new "multimedia" transcripts, or at least transcripts with hyperlinks or whatnot, but the actual text in the transcripts have been available. I know because I read a fair few of them before...
She is a Christian SOCIAL democrat. All Swedish parties, including the Swedish "right-wing" are to the left of the US democrats.
The social democratic party are real socialists by the way, not something like Obama. So, no, I don't think the rest of the world views Swedish social democrats, even the Christian subset that might belong to the right of the social democratic party, as being particularly "right wing".
Unless the rest of the world is communistic...
It is simply a Swedish translation of this. Be pleased to note that it doesn't say anything about using "rape accusations to destroy man". Also curious how a Swedish social democrat can be regarded as right wing?
I was going write something similar, so I'll just add some comments here instead.
I'm a bit peeved with all the comments alleging that a "girl can have consentual sex and change her mind the next day and it is accepted as rape in Sweden". This is not what the courts have decided, where in fact they do seem a lot more willing to acquit than convicted in hairy cases. Which might not necessarily be the worst of things.
I'll say though that the "Was she drunk, has she had many boyfriends, is she a slut?" is not regarded as a reason to acquit by the court, although the defense attorney might be too happy to trot out that line.
Moreover, rape is absurdly loose in this country. You can have consensual sex with a girl, but she can still change her mind the next day and claim you "got her drunk" or "talked her into it". Personal responsibility pretty much goes flying out the door in such cases (precedents abound).

But he allegedly had an "attitude problem" with women. That's not rape in my book. I don't care what the law says, it is simply immoral to prosecute a man for rape on such bullshit.
It depends on what the "attitude problem with women" consisted of. According to one woman, it was that it started off consentual but turned into non-consentual and that Assange had a problem with accepting that. Allegedly of course.
Well, those things are probably nice and all, but I was hoping for a compiler where the C++ standard undefined behaviour was actually defined, and in the general case and not just a few special cases:)
2) Because the JVM is aware of the runtime environment it is currently executing in, it has the capability to perform additional optimizations at runtime. The JVM has the capability to decide how best to convert the bytecode into inline native instructions based on available resources such as memory and CPU. C++ does not have this luxury. Once the C++ compiler generates it's executable code, that code is static and unchangeable.
I would just like to point out that this is not strictly true: There is nothing (standard-wise) preventing C++ code from being compiled for a JVM in exactly the same manner as Java. I think Clang + LLVM is able to do it?
Not really. By itself C++ is more portable than Java et al. In fact, the problem is rather that C++ is too portable (ie general)!
For example, for I/O there is the basic notion about files for example, but anything more specific (like, directories or how to get a list of files etc. And don't even mention graphical thingies!) the standard is completely silent, precisely too keep things as portable as possible.
That means if one wants non-general things, one has go outside the C++ standard. Preferably there is some other standard to follow then, such as POSIX, or maybe QT.
When I think of, por ejemplo, the word pronounced as 'hait' [*], I don't have to "translate" that at all. No, sir! Just type it straight in, exactly as it is pronounced: "height" of course! =)
You are certainly insistent about the badness of that missed return statement:)
But it is certainly not true that in plain C such a bug can only cause data corruption (if that were even desireable); just imagine the consequences if the return value is a pointer...

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Sony has removed PS2 compatibility in the new firmwares? Really?

Reads a lot like one Linux Hater's Blog post :) Minus some foul language :)

Yeah...Big win. The US of A says "Jump!", Sweden asks "How high?". Big win, big win...

It's a different charge in Sweden as well.
Except it's not seen as "culturally ok to claim rape several days after the fact - even if it was consentual at the time)".
Rape in Sweden means sexual intercourse without consent from one of the parties.

What compiler offers this?
Why is that? Is the application using only pure C++ and nothing outside the standard?
Perhaps the biggest problem with C++ is the extreme ease with which one finds oneself lost in the dreadful land of undefined behaviour...

If true, g++ is broken and needs to be fixed.
