This pretty much sums it up. The big downside to pascal was that it took more effort to run on multiple platforms. Java had that going.
Since then, FPC and Lazarus made things somewhat less complicated but still not easy, and Delphi is barely entering that market now, with Embarcadero recently releasing cross compilers and Firemonkey.
Am i the only one that was hoping this to be a story about crazy ass pilot Murdock (actor Dwight Schultz) from the A-Team having built a computer laboratory/system much in the spirit of programmer Zimmerman (actor Dwight Schultz), the creator of the EMH (Emergency Medical Holographic) doctor program from Voyager?
Which IMHO can cost more sweat than approaching this in bulk. They'd narrow down the potential content types (notably by entropy) to get likely plain data chunks, and go from there using more encryption exploits, rainbow tables, and brute force. The bad thing about encryption is that its pretty predicable. A good solution starts with avoiding established standards.
I'd upvote if i could. This is the correct answer.
Beam/fiber from a landline T1 connection. Talk to a ISP, (in the Netherlands) they happily jump in as sponsor.
Then use professional grade WiFi (e.g. bug ugly gray Cisco boxes with three thick antenna's) to cover the main event areas. Dont mess with consumer grade WiFi unless you are sure you only have 10 csuch aslients and no wifi noise.
Seriously, it does look like/. is proactively madvertising the Surface. IMHO, Win8 is perfect (use it daily on non-touch PC) and the only downside for RT is a lack of apps. Just as Android when it launched, but back then it only had one iOS product (!) as competition. Its harder for RT to win in the current market.
I was thinking this was the Haswell release of the Thinkpad Helix. Turns out,/. is behind by 4 months and just learning about the Helix. *facepalm* It hurts. But yes, IMHO its the best convertable out there by far.
I'm waiting for the Haswell version however, and i hope its 16" 3200x1800 and sports a better GPU. I don't mind the weight and size.
Yes. Nerds are perfectly capable of using such wording, like Dilbert proved.
And lets be fair, sometimes you have to broadcast a bunch of compressed wildcards, it keeps minions and investors happy as they hear whatever they want to hear. The real policy is laid out on the meeting table, never take speech literally, in fact whats not being said tells you more.
"Scripted languages have enormous advantage of being much easier to bugfix than native apps."
This is a strange statement to make.
No its not a strange statement. Perhaps you haven't scripted much, but you'll understand that you dont need to recompile or even restart software. Fix. Test. Ok, next.
It allows designers to experiment on their own initiative, and R&D to focus on the important stuff.
We agreed upon that years ago. If you have a weapon here, you better have a good reason and comply with some stringent safety measures. The only school shootouts we've seen here, where inspired by US shootouts.

No matter how silly the original article is, this/. article is even lamer.
Browsing for 20 hours at this rate, the IE user would save enough power to make a cup of tea,
Heating thee? Thats a really bad comparison!
Or.. a good one if you realize how inefficient heating with electricity is, especially relatively to other useful household things such as anything with batteries, your DVR, the lighting, a tablet, or even a laptop. On my 35W laptop this means 3% power savings.
This article seems to wind down on the marketing effort. Whats news in that? I rather like this fact exposing instead of the shockshell courtroom cases.

So, he's a marketeer. And fails to marketeer.
I would say Windows 8 is beautifully engineered, and a great new UX concept.
If only the dinosaurs would see the value or stick with '95 era UX and stop moaning..

Yes, he's down to earth technical, even a nerd. Not a business bozo IMHO.
Exactly, i do all of the above. Except i do pull up a new browser (row of tabs) to seperate unrelated groups of tabs.

Why mod as troll? This actually IS what they say..
Move to Europe. Not kidding.

Butt pun intended of course.
This. This is what i wanted to see (and order / put on my wishlist)

Then i clicked the link and saw the tiny non-detailed thing. What are those, 160 blocks?
A LEGO City car looks more complex.
In other news, the explosion was said not to be caused by a teapot bearing the label "made on earth".
Good points you have AC, you win the internet today.

CCTV this means that camera footage is streamed live to a TV.
Is that what the English Custodian helmets are for, a satellite dish?
What does the RF antenna model helmet look like?
I recon not, and they meant to equip the bobby's with a video camera instead.

No touch for the macbooks? I was hoping they would have a highres 18" laptop that i can install W8 on.
