Take a look at this video. It shows off some of Xara Xtreme's capabilities. I am quite impressed and can't wait until the full Linux version is released! It can use photoshop plugins too!!

Why use Mono/.NET when you have ruby, perl, php, and python? All of which are cross platform? As far as only being able to give binary code to your customers ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit allows you to do just this (even though it's not free, but still less expensive than a license for Visual Studio.NET). I'm sure someone has written a decompiler for PDK binaries but the same thing could be done for.NET applications.
But honestly can someone who has done development in Mono and and the other aforementioned languages convince me or anyone else for that matter to learn C#/Visual Basic.NET, and enjoy what it has to offer? What does it offer that the other aforementioned languages do not?
My undergraduate degree is in electrical engineering and I just started working on my master's degree in computer science . I've got a little bit of both in my brain. Now I just need to figure out how to combine the two into something original.
If there ever was to be a mascot for Vista it should be a pig with M$'s trademark 4 colored butterfly wings. Sort of interesting if you look at the penguin it has "wings" but cannot fly.

Is it kind of wierd that in/usr/include/limits.h:
/* Maximum value an `unsigned short int' can hold. (Minimum is 0.) */
# define USHRT_MAX 65535
and the number of processors on that thing is 65536 (add a 0th processor). Anyone who knows about HPC systems care to elaborate how that happened?
Smart people will use technology to augment their intelligence. Dumb people will use it to become lazier. And in between there will be mixes of augmentation and lazy reliance. I don't think there's a single answer to this question. I think this has always been true, but technology amplifies this gap.
Should be, smart people will use technology to augment their intelligence so that they can be lazier. Dumb people will remain dumb (you can be dumb and still work hard). And in between there will be mixes of augmentation and lazy reliance.
The Mono project develops software that allows.NET client applications to be run on various operating systems including Microsoft, Linux and Mac OS X. As Mono is a competitor to Microsoft's.NET implementation, de Icaza said it may make the software giant "nervous".
Is Sun nervous because Blackdown has made their own JDK? I highly doubt it.
MS has provided the datasheets for.Net so that it can be implemented under any OS. Mono is becoming more and more mature every day so that it can duplicate the features in MS's compilers. Visual Studio is just a set of tools to interface with the compiler. Mono doesn't steal customers away from MS, in fact it probably increases the.Net developer and user base. It leverages the.Net technology away from just Windows+x86 environments and for this MS should be happy.
I hope ebook's never become mainstream because I know the publishers will employ stupid digital restrictions management functions which will for example only allow the ebook to be read during a certain time (e.g. one semester). This was covered previously on/. The user who whoever is providing the license will have to re-purchase the book for another extended period of time. I would hate to live in a world where RMS's parable becomes true.
On a lesser note, unless I can write and scribble "digital" notes in the ebook at the same resolution as I can with a 0.5 or 0.7mm mechanical pencil on regular book paper, I won't be able to get used to the idea of an ebook
Novels, which can be extremely disturbing and violent (see: American Psycho) have never had a self-regulation system, and they're entirely ignored by politicians and the press. Why? THAT is the issue.
Reading takes work and imagination. Most people are lazy and don't think. Especially when it's easier to watch movies, TV, or play video games. The only things they read are journals, magazines, and textbooks (i.e. something which has for them an immediate or foreseeable social value).
Ask a room full of people if they actually read the book American Psycho, then ask the same group if they saw the movie (the new one or old one). You fail to realize that America is a time conscientious society. If I can get the gist of the story in 2 hours rather than the several weeks or months it takes for me to read the book then that's what I'll do. If the details are really that important then it's not in literature, because nothing it more important in a person's life than his/her own experience in actually living their own lives.
All community is, is a group of individuals. Are you going to just start selecting subsets of individuals and punishing them for their 'irresponsibility'? In the case of GTA, who do you pick? Do you punish the head of Rockstar games? The development team? The marketing guy?
Yes the bastard sitting in the marketing department that's who I crucify. The guy who's job it is to glorify crime, homicide, murder, and rape.
The topic in channel #gentoo-amd64 on irc.freenode.net has said "Reiser4 is evil" for more than a year. Does anyone know if Reiser4 actually works in a x86_64 environment?
It used to be about ego and saying "look what I can do" or "I was the first to do this", now it's more about 0-day exploits, scripting, and financial gain sometimes through extortion..which is why they should go to jail!
Not that things couldn't have been done faster -- they could have. But Bush is getting way too much of the blame here. The feds are not designed to move fast, combined with the fact that it was an incredible mess, and it doesn't help when people are shooting at the rescuers.
They sure as hell moved fast when it was time to attack Iraq. Or when it was time to push the Patriot Act through. Or many other things that directly help whatever agenda they have.
Since Kai Fu-Lee is going to head up Google in China and he would have done the same thing for MS in China..isn't there some sort possibility of industrial espionage? If I were company A and one of my top guys has knowledge of secret internal plans, would you want that guy to go to company B and tell them everything about your plans?
Since it pertains to this/. topic and it probably will not be accepted as a separate article, here is a story about the use of UAV's in looking for stranded victims in NO:
In analyzing proteins, for example, the algorithm was able to extract from amino acid sequences patterns that were highly correlated with the functional properties of the proteins.
NCBI BlastP already does this for proteins. Similarities and rules for things can be found but if the meaning of the sequence is not known then what good is it? In the end you need to do experiments involving biology/biochemistry/structural biology to determine the function of a protein or nucleotide sequence. Furthermore in language as well as in biology/chemistry things which have similar vocabulary (chemical formula) may in the end be structurally very different (enantiomers), which leads to vastly different functionality.

Why does Mono show up so many times on slashdot?
