There are so many embedded applications that do just fine with 8-bit controllers that there is no reason they should dissapear just because something more powerful comes along.
Actually this bring up a good point. There is a reason why the shuttle and many military aircraft still use 486s. 486 chips are rock solid, They can take far more Gs and a much wider operating temperature than pentiums can. Engineers would love to have the processing power, but they cannot afford to use a chip that craps out at 6Gs at extreme temps.
As for 486 Chips, I have washed mine in the washer, plugged it in 180 degress backwards until the smoke detector went off and had a 486 based computer fall off the back of a pickup and roll several times and it still worked. Try any of those feats of stoopidity with a modern processor.
some countries in africa the possibility of contracting HIV during your lifetime is now nearly 100% for teenagers.
Whats sad is this is a preventable disease. There is so much misinformation going around in africa about the disease that know one knows how to easy it is to prevent it. The most disturbing being if you have sex with a virgin, you will be cured of HIV. Thousands of young girls each year are raped on that information alone.
There is a distinct difference between preventable diseases and curable diseases. In my opnion we should put more focus on preventing the disease than we do now. Its similar to how the US and other countries are now launching large scale infomercials on smoking. A cure to cancer and HIV would be wonderful one day but we can do something right now to prevent people from exposing themselves to both.
Jboss does cluster just as well as websphere and weblogic. I know because I have run all three of them for very large projects. We got tired of paying for developer licenses let alone the production licenses.
At this point all three ejb containers are on equal ground (Each with their own perks) with JBoss moving ahead the fastest. Even without the blessing of Sun. Currently we have 12 JBoss instances running in a cluster than has been up for 43 weeks. Cant ask for more than that.
Over 50% of the.Net libraries have not been ported to Mono and may never be. Mono is pretty cool but until it is fully ported it will remain years behind Java and.Net. You cant compare them like you cant compare java to perl. Java and.Net are very much competitors and will continue to dominate the industry in their niche. Companies need security (as in a future) for their multimillion projects. It took Java ~6 years to self promote. If Mono severely ramps up their efforts, they MIGHT reach the plateau. Java was first to the punch, which is a huge advantage. I would wager my hunting dog that Mono will not overtake java in the next ten years. If MS is lucky and throws enough money at.Net, it has a decent chance.
You dont see companies developing 5k class projects in Mono, but thousands (if not more) do with Java and.Net. Dont believe me? Go count job postings for programming at Monster in a city near you.
My city last month? 60% Java 15% Perl 10% C/C++ 5%.Net 5% COBOL 5% other
I cant hire Java and Perl programmers fast enough.
That is why very few shops use websphere. Most use JBoss mostly because its free but partly because they stay current. Its not viewed as a cash cow like websphere.
I have heard this as long as I can remember.
Can we browse the web in opengl at 1600x1200 with video commercials in stereo everywhere instead instead of images? Nope, so we will continue upping the clock speed =)
I study political parties constantly through books and debates. I am well aware of the Libertarian doctrine. They do consider themselves right wingers in the social sense but not in the "moral" sense. There is a very very big difference. Libertarians have some very different opinions on defense, education and immigration. They are not very compatible with the mainstream right wing. However they can make decent bedfellows in the New Age Big Tent RNC (tm).
We do. When we are in doubt we also look at the Democratic Parties platform. After reading what each party believes we actually affirm our convictions and spread the word to others. I completely agree with your recommendation as an evil right winger;)
Think of it like the TV show The West (heehee Left) Wing. You would think that the conservative leaders would be in an uproar about the "misconceptions" and descriptions of conservatives. They arent because millions of conservatives (even the social liberal variety) see what the Democratic Party believes and practices (through the producers minds anyway) and know immediately they wont vote left. In many ways the West Wing is one of the worst enemies of liberals. I am not saying that this is a one way street. If conservatives controlled the networks and hollywood, we would have caused the same problem and alienated millions.
Libtertarians have some very interesting ideas that could benefit conservatives, but true right wingers will never vote liberal or libertarion because of a few seemingly important stances.
This also reminds be of the RNC chairmans comments on Kerry's campaign. He basically said that everytime kerry speaks to moral moderates on moral issues he actually loses votes because he rubs off as too liberal. This doesnt mean Kerry is "stupid or wrong", conservatives just view the political arena is a different light than liberals. The same tactics for politcal persuation do not work for all three parties.
Upgrading to Xorg should be pretty easy, Its based on the xfree4.4 beta and the config options are the same. Just make sure you update your font paths with the locations that Xorg uses.
Checkout the gentoo forums as the some of the threads talk about the exact differences between the two and how to upgrade safely and quickly.
I am sure that you have interviewed each one of them and are absolutely sure that none of them have done anything illegal... Oh wait, I am on slantdot...
Organized protests frequently do not stay in their areas and block traffic in the street. This simple mistake is enough to get you arrested at a protest. Yes, you cant have "free speech" and impede on the rights of others.
Lets not forget the vast majority of policemen in NY are democrats. As far as I know Bush has not implemented his mind control machine yet.
Well people always try to draw the conclusion that either Starr was out for fame or he was politically motivated. The fact is he did his job. If he wasnt Reno/Oversight could have recalled him at any time.
Konqueror has rendered slashdot fine for me for over a year. Care to point out some instances where it doesnt? Maybe I just havent noticed. Actually firefox has problems rendering the content table here, seems to want to overlap the left nav sometimes.
Either way KHTML is just one part of KDE, if you dont like it, you could just use firefox in KDE. There used to be an option to use the gecko engine as opposed to khtml in konqueror but it has not been updated in a long time.
I have been running kde 3.3b2 for 2 weeks continuously. Havent had any stability issues or memory leaks. Not sure where you got your info but you may want to try KDE out for yourself.
If that were true then BIlly Graham would be president, Falwell would be VP, supreme court would be all bishops and congress would just be another Promise Keepers event. Morning prayers would be required at all schools and premarrital sex would be punishable by jail time.
Sorry but your observation just doesnt seem to make sense. The religious right rarely gets elected anyware and is forced to compromise on Republican candidates 99% of the time.
Bill Oreilly has already been disowned by the right because of his stances on several issues. There are just as many if not more righties that arent welcome on his show as lefties. He is just an arrogant moderate...
Ah yes, the infamous, "you cant possibly believe in those ideals, you must be mis informed or absolutely wrong." If you dont know your enemy you wont defeat them.
Seriously you have to have a better argument than that. The "Religious Right" makes up for about as many people as ELF on the left. Maybe the RNC should start associating the two...
This is great, finally a slasdot story that puts the left under the microscope. I havent seen this in years.
If you dont break the law, you have nothing to worry about.
I am sure that they do not sit and listen and record content of calls all day long. They do however drop in from time to time to examine quality and misuse (misuse being defined as anyone who knowing tries to circumvent restrictions or steals access). Phone companies already do the same thing and have done so for years. I know, I have worked for one.
This "news" is simply more propoganda created by the makers of tin foil. Damnit they must be rich.
I would agree to stick with an open standard for my personal use. However if you have a company that logged a lot of phone time every month, ~50% more per minute adds up.

Well people always try to draw the conclusion that either Starr was out for fame or he was politically motivated. The fact is he did his job. If he wasnt Reno/Oversight could have recalled him at any time.
And who appointed Starr again? Who gave him permission to pursue the case?
If you dont know the question to either of those you have no basis for commenting on hims actions.

Not to start a competition but if you are lucky enough to have an amd64 KDE should compile in 3.5 hours.
Go checkout konstruct. It doesnt do updates unless you call updating requibling and copying over your existing install.
If that were true then BIlly Graham would be president, Falwell would be VP, supreme court would be all bishops and congress would just be another Promise Keepers event. Morning prayers would be required at all schools and premarrital sex would be punishable by jail time.

Bush's spin-doctors claim the whole idea was, in fact, initiated by Al Qaeda members
What is sad is you will get modded up by the slantdot moderators. I hope you stand by your prediction so we can revisit it later. =)
Because the controllers do just that, they control the command order and optimize sequences based on the order they are received.
We could get rid of SCSI or ATA but there will still be a controller for the media unless its integrated into the drive.
If you dont break the law, you have nothing to worry about.

...its Qt based. Works great with KDE.
