When I first read the title of the article, I read "Hellodisplay", and I imagined a giant statue of goatse.cx man with a plaque under it:
"In honor of Hello.jpg. May his sense of openness be with us all."
And then I read about the pocket beamer... * shudder *
Does this mean that if I buy something online when in Illinois, that I'll have to pay sales tax for something in California? If so, I won't be buying from Borders online but rather going to the B&M Borders in my town.
if Apple actually invented anything original. Both Apple and Microsoft copy just about everything from others.
Microsoft has buggy software which would allow something like this to happen. Now it seems like Apple is copying off of that and allowing such ease of control of somebody's computer. It's both +1 funny and +1 insightful.
Very "interesting" quote...

"Here Microsoft was spending $600 million a year in R&D for MSN, $1 billion a year for Office, and $1 billion a year for Windows, and Google gets desktop search out before us? It was a real wake-up call," says an exec. "It was the first time many people in the corporation understood that Google was <b>more than just a search engine.</b> People said, 'If they can do desktop search, what prevents them from doing a version of Excel, PowerPoint, or Word, or buying Star Office [from Sun Microsystems]?' "
Desktop search is part of a search engine. Jumping from desktop search to Excel is a pretty good stretch of the imagination. I'm not really sure if that's the way the MSFT exec meant it.
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call To call Alice When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know
When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head Feed your head"
I can't believe someone would moderate this "troll". It's from a song by Jefferson Airplane called "White Rabbit". The title of the book is derived from a line in the song!
That is so wrong on numerous levels. Hi Evil Corporation, here's ten thousand dollars so I can get a peek at genetic code that I inherently share with every human being in the first place.
Let's see, the one company that pioneered genome research with reliable and extremely efficient shotgun sequencing, is now an evil corporation because it wanted to use its investments in research for developing novel therapeutics. Which in the end benefits human-kind. Please...
T I G E R 84 73 71 69 82 - as ASCII values 3 1 8 6 1 - digits added \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ 3 1 8 6 1 - digits added
Thus, "TIGER" is 31861.
Subtract 97 from the number - this is the year Vesuvius erupted, written backwards. It gives 31764.
Add 0791 to it - this is the year IBM announced S/370, written backwards - you will get 32555.
Subtract 38, the symbol of slavery. The result will be 32517.
Add 1983, the year Microsoft introduced Windows 1.0 - the result is 34500.
Turn the number backwards, and add 1778 - the year Oliver Pollock invented '$', the symbol of exploitation, suffering and injustice. The number is now 2321.
This, when read backwards, gives 1232. This is 666 in octal, the number of the Beast...
I am so sick of this garbage. If you don't agree with something, that doesn't mean that you should mod it overrated, especially if it wasn't rated up in the first place!
Is it possible that hardware is going away first, with less effort going into embedded systems and more effort going into general microprocessors? Then again, cell phones, portable gaming devices, etc are gaining popularity and so that would drive the embedded market up. However, I think that software design on the hardware will always be strong. Applying ideas to hardware through software is where the future is, but I can't answer whether that means software with a hardware focus is taking over. It's a delicate balance, but if the portable devices move away from propietary hardware-level design systems and more towards shared processor design, then software will take over hardware.
It's a tough call, but from a market standpoint, I would recommend against going into pure hardware design.
A common error in economics. Your time is only worth something if someone is PAYING you for it.
Wrong, time is worth whatever value you give to it. If you would rather spend time fishing than building a computer, the time you spend building a computer is lost where you could have been spending it on a much more valuable activity, such as fishing. Just because money isn't involved doesn't mean that time is worthless.
And this time is actually worth something in money terms! If you would rather spend time fishing instead of getting a hundred dollars (for whatever reason, luck), then the time you spent fishing is worth at least one hundred dollars.
Tiger still hasn't been released yet, and so we know that these reviewers have advanced copies to review. I'd imaigne that they would have it in their possession at least since golden master was declared.
Except the blackbox on a jet won't (unless I'm woefully uninformed more than usual) tell what you were doing in your own seat when the plane went down.
I have a feeling that this has to do with homologous recombination, where damage to a certain gene causes the chromosomes to auto-repair themselves by copying the target gene from the "good" chromosome. At least that's my take on why they would mention damaging the DNA to repair it.

Why not .orgy ?
Also, who is Linus Trolvalds?
:-)
He's the guy who always asks if the toaster can run Linux, or screams that SCO is eating children. He is the Trollvalds.

I am sure this can be trivially reverse-engineered.
I'm sure Lord Nikon could figure out how to do this...
armchair physicists

Smalley was a chemist. He won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Synthesizing nano-tubes is done by chemists. This ain't physics we're talking about.
Then again, what discussions have those armchair physicists not gotten themselves into.

Woah.
