Where? I see a Firewire and a DVI port, no composite, S-Video, 75ohm coax, or component video you'd expect for the term "dedicated TV output".
Um, a DVI port *is* a "dedicated TV output". Most digital TVs have DVI as one of their input options. My DLP set is hooked up to my MythTV box via DVI. You might as well be complaining that Apple doesn't ship a screw attached RF converter so you can hook up your Mac Mini to your old 9-inch Black & White set...
The current setup of the CVS server needs to be wiped clean and started fresh. The only times I've ever used CVS (and used it poorly at that) was with a few SourceForge.net
If you've rarely used CVS properly, what makes you think it needs to be wiped clean and refreshed? I think you'd be better off recommending they get somebody who knows what they're doing to do a proper analysis of fixing it up.
I don't know of any electoral votes going to a 3rd party, although I suspect that it could've happened in the past.
Geez, you're on the internet, how freaking hard is it to be informed?
In 1912, the Bull Moose party won 88 electoral votes, coming in second ahead of the Republicans. In 1948, Strom Thurmond won 39 electoral votes in the Dixiecrat party. In 1960, Harry Byrd won 15 votes as an independent. In 1968, George Wallace won 46 votes.
And to correct yet another way that you're misinformed, Nader isn't running under the Green Party this year, David Cobb is the Green candidate, Nader's independent.
I hate to tell you dude, but you entered the industry well after the bubble, so your experiences aren't really representative. The bubble popped in 2000. Coming in a year late you were lucky to get a job at all.
Gmail didn't just go into beta. It's been extant for at least three weeks now. I got an account two weeks ago because a friend of mine was one of the very first users and got some invites that she could dole out.
I have to laugh anytime people talk about when gmail will go live or other companies that might beat gmail to the punch and meanwhile I've been using it as my primary email account for weeks.
You're sadly delusional if you think that digital textbooks will cost any bit less than the dead-tree counterparts. Retail e-books cost just as much as the hardcovers, even after they're out on paperback. If anything, I'd say the publishers will charge more for the e-textbook because of all the value-added of being able to search through it easily.
Generally these same people have no action items, are the least proactive, have no sense of accountability, and in general, do not execute (yet another term).
That's why IT is the key to any successful business strategy. You simply send these people to the sysadmin, have him run a "chmod +x" on these people, and then send them happily back to work.
From the article: "This means that developers who build applications using DOM Level 2 won't be building products compatible with current DOM browser technology. This could be a problem," he said.
It's backwards compatible, but not *downwards* compatible. Just like Windows 2000 can run old DOS programs, but you can't run Win2K programs on DOS.
It says that either processor speed (or density) will double every 18 months OR (and it's a big or) the price will halve in 18 months.
So logically we could continue on with the same speed processor and just have them get progressively cheaper. But hmm, I wonder whose profit margins this would affect? What he's setting us up for is that Intel will refuse to lower their prices. They'll continue to make the chips cheaper and cheaper but they won't sell them for any less.
I actually look forward to an end in ever increasing clock rates, because then we can all get back to programming skillfully and making tight efficient code.
What I'd really like to see is a PC laptop in an iBook form factor. Where are all the cheap smaller laptops? This is fina and small, but it'll probably cost like $2000, which isn't cheap.
It sounds like the book he really wanted to get was O'Reilly's Mac OS X for Unix Geeks. It includes a lot of his gripe topics like:
* A quick overview of the Terminal application
* Understanding Open Directory (LDAP) and NetInfo
* Issues related to using the GNU C Compiler 9GCC
* Library linking and porting Unix software
* An overview of Mac OS X?s filesystem and startup processes
* Creating and installing packages using Fink
* Building the Darwin kernel
* Running X Windows on top of Mac OS X

If we take this piracy/drm/et al mess to its logical conclusion, the only foolproof solution is for the distributors to stop distributing content altogether.
And yet they'll still make billions of dollars a year from government subsidies.
Isn't this just the "Netscape Engineers are Weenies" backwords backdoor? I assumed that and when I saw the name of the dll it was confirmed. Bad Yahoo! Bad! Go stand in the corner!
This article is a complete waste of bandwidth. They claim one of the dumb "E-Business" moments was the hamsterdance. It may have been one of the dumbest and pointless internet moments, but it had nothing to do with e-business.
Unless hamsterdance.com formed a strategic alliance with Real Hamster that I haven't heard about.

Slashdot Mirror
Maybe... they aren't all that smart. Now, to answer the question why does society recognize absolute cretins as people of respectable intelligence
"I see dumb people...only they don't know they're dumb."
I also noticed that Slashdot has added support for capital letters and punctuation other than "?".

Just seal everyone inside of a Faraday cage at the start of each contest.

What are you talking about?
www.iyonix.com/32bit/PCI_API.shtml loads just fine for me. And it doesn't even appear to be modified at all. Stop spreading FUD.

cross-browser DOM scripting should become a thing of the past
Umm, isn't cross-browser DOM scripting what we *want* in the future?
Check out this one at Wal-Mart. The screen's a little on the small side, but you can't beat the sub-$200 price.
It says that either processor speed (or density) will double every 18 months OR (and it's a big or) the price will halve in 18 months.

What's nice is that while the built in screen is limited to 1024x768, it has the ability to pump out 1600x1200 to an external monitor.
