How do those get sped up if you're opting for more cores instead of more cycles?
Algorithms that can't be parallelized will not benefit from a parallel architecture. It's really that simple.:( Also, many algorithms that are parallelizable will not benefit from an "infinite" number of cores. The limited bandwith for communication between cores will usually become a bottleneck at some point.
just scaled down for some reason (power?). More likely hardware bugs. If I clock mine at 900mhz it doesn't run very well (not at all actually). At 855mhz it's rock stable though.
I reckon if computers and gigabit networks were free, we'd already have a bunch of FOSS google killers. Lucene would probably be a good starting point.
If there is anything patented by nokia in the linux kernel, then those patents became free-for-all the moment nokia started to distribute the linux kernel themselves. When nokia claim that any patented code in the linux kernel (which they are distributing themselves, remember) cannot be used outside an official linux kernel release, they are violating the "no further restrictions" cluse (section 6) of the GPL.
Seems to me that either there are nothing whatsoever patented by nokia in the kernel, or this is just some creative (and highly successful) FUDing.
the GPL's "no extra restrictions" clause may well come into play.
GPL, section 6: "... You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein....".
To me that sounds like, if I got a copy of linux from nokia, then nokia has no business what so ever telling me what I can or cannot do with that code, as long as I'm abiding by the terms of the GPL. By distributing the code under the gpl, they did give me the right to use, modify and redistribute it didn't they?
No, fuck that. I don't look to my COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM for a "political orientation", and neither should anyone. I look to an OS to make my computer usable. EOM.
That's the attitude that will allow people with a political orientation opposite of that of the free software movement to make your computer less usable. If you're to blind to see that, then you deserve the cripled, microsoft branded, drm infested, sell-your-soul-to-satan, multimedia/email/crap-appliance you'll end up with.
I thought anything above 640k was highmem... And what is this "multitasking" thing everyone is talking about? *grumble grumble*uphill both ways*grumble grumble*and we liked it!*grumble...
I am a heavy KDE user (not developer), given that I spend about 12 hours every day in 3 different version of KDE. My RHEL box at work run 3.1, my laptop has 3.2 and my desktop runs 3.3. Are there differences? Of course there are, but none that I notice much. The only thing that bothers me with the oldest version is it's not so good xinerama support (doesn't handle screens with different resolution very well...) You'll probably notice more differences if you use a lot of the default KDE applications. Non of my most used apps are KDE-apps. The "environment" (panel, desktop, configuration) seems pretty much identical, if you ask me. I guess it's a sign of KDE's maturity.
Maybe int idoes make sense for a counter. Especially if you're consistent, then every time someone sees an i in your code they will know it's a for-loop counter.

I think "highlight occurences" is one of Eclipse's killer-features. It makes unfamiliar code _so_ much easier to figure out!
Lucene is a library, FAST is a huge beast. FAST is more comparabele to nutch, except a few 100 man-years more advanced.
Kkonfabulator! :)
And they have javascript menus that work flawlessly in Opera. I love North Korea!

Yahoo returned the wikipedia page for "weevil" on the first page, so now I know what it is :)
Brown matter?
Some very sick people disagree...
Well, I did imagine a beowulf cluster of her...
No, it doesn't (Thank God!). You're thinking of netbeans.

It is your job to document your changes. It's called a cvs log.

I once did something similar, using a genetic algorightm to evolve a neural network. It didn't work very well though...
