I tend to think the universe itself is an semi-intelligent timeless creature in the form of something resembling nerve-memory and very basic self-preservation instincts on the small scale. Something could be attached to the matter we know about, on a grand scale, that is actually memory or otherwise a controlling structure in the same way as inherited behavior is stored in the neural network. This 'memory' could be passed on into each new iteration of bubbles inside or outside us. Then this could change and mutate, maybe evolution exists on a grand scale too?
Very interesting headline, I really hope they find some interesting data!
The Amiga could be soldered to add a button that would trigger the Non Maskable Interrupt, pressing this would throw you back into AsmOne if you got stuck:)
Actually, I'm the guy without the TV, and also an avid hater of the Cloud. Maybe useful for a few people but its really not a big deal and certainly not the Next Big Thing (tm). It's the whole cycle of thin clients and mainframes all over again. It's gonna end up with people preferring to have their shit locally, just like they decided that it's useful to have a beefed up workstation instead of a centralized CPU monster.
Roughly it can be called greed. Some people just don't have the ability to be happy even if they have all they need and then some. I think it has to be some kind of medical condition where it is imperative that you have more stuff than you can possibly have any use of and at the same time deny the same to others if you can. Some kind of hoarder-sociopath complex.
I am already using version 21, its the pre pre pre alpha pre beta pre pre gamma delta pre RC pre build, I'm so bleeding edge I have to buy tampons at the store. My insurance company wont even insure my computer because all my software are practically from the future.
Exactly. For the same reasons as every movie which did the Bullet-Time effects after The Matrix, was pretty much forgotten.
The only way one can try to remake the classics would be to assume the same mindset at they had back then and try to do a honest re-iteration of the game design and planning. Take what worked well and keep it and add a little extra that 'would have been nice' in the previous game. Upgrade and redo graphics but for gods sake don't alter the general feeling and atmosphere of the game. Do not 'do it in 3D' just because you have some OpenGL developers around. Hire talented pixel-artists who can do unique environment graphics and characters. I say even keep the 8 bit sound, just hire some exceptional people like Martin Galway and Jeroen Tel to do it. It will sound great.
Been in since it was called just Mozilla I think, it was version 0.9 or something. Look like someone from Redmond finally submarined into the FireFox team.
It's all about having the original data. As an active CD/DVD bootleg collector, the way it's done in the community is that every bootleg must be lossless and you must post md5 and/or ffp (FLAC Finger Print) signature files every time you upload. This is of course to prevent the degradation of lossy formats. We use a handy tool called Traders Little Helper (TLH) wich is most excellent. It will generate and verify md5 and ffp files at a click and it can analyze FLAC files and check if it's a faked mp3->FLAC. (mp3 decoded into wav and recompressed as FLAC). Plus a lot of other goodies (encoding/reencoding etc). The GUI operates on aucdtect.exe, flac.exe, lame.exe, mac.exe, metaflac.exe, mkwcon.exe, shntool.exe, and shorten.exe.
Everyone knew Silverlight would fail to compete with JS and Flash when it came. If you based your future on Silverlight then perhaps you are getting what you asked for.
If they think you did something and the punishment gets them votes, money or power, it doesn't matter if the suspect is a sleeping toddler.

WTF, when I went back to the front page, it was all gone again. Either I had hallucinations about former glory of slashdot design or they are about to try it out again...I swear the comment counts and tags were back.

I don't see a thread about this, so I will take the opportunity to say: We bitch when they mess with the site but now they got back the comment counts and tags on the front page. That's a good thing. Also cheers to IBM!
But....but... the compiler...it will produce better code than the best assembly nerd.. ? Now is this true or is it something said by butthurt OOP programmers?
10K text? I can't remember the last time I saw 200 characters of text regarding the same topic on the same page. Usually 10K of text would be paged out to like 100 pages of twitter-sized sentences. bringing the total up to 300MB of crap to display 10K.

Haha! Why AC? This is a good joke!
Well to be fair, it's the longest BSD troll I've seen AFAIR. They usually go like "BSD is dying! Netcraft confirms it !" and "BSD is dead to me!".

The fact that it was discovered so late is unnerving.

NoScript, AdBlock, BetterPrivacy, Downloadhelper all worked for me on Win7/x64. Java too. As far as I am concerned, this went better than expected.

I think all software developers in the world are trying to reach version 100 first
The consequsnces will never be the saem !!1 Oh and also free stuff must work 100% of the time! WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FREE SERVICES IS NOT SECURE!!!??
Sounds like every company I ever worked for.

I used to really think Firefox was written in Java. (Before I learned it was XULRunner)
