Oh dear god you trolls. The point about the comment is that DX11 is not supported on Windows XP. Microsoft has no intention of supporting DX11 on XP and they want to kill XP. Thing is a lot of users still use XP.
Who ever thought religion was going to die? Religion is about belief not fact. It doesn't take much to believe in the virgin birth but it'll take a whole lot of evidence to prove that happened.
Names and address if the users that are demanding flash!
THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE!!
Seriously, take a flash game, say Robot Unicorn Attack, and use some other technology, say HTML5 to build it and NOT ON PERSON WILL FUCKING CARE IF YOU ARE USING FLASH, HTML5 OR YOUR GRANDMA'S PISS TO CREATE THAT GAME.
Jesus Christ people get a fucking clue!
THE END USER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY!
It's all about the experience. So for right now, flash has the monopoly. But, it has been pointed out that the experience for mobile devices is rather bad. Thus there is room for another competitor. So flash may give way to HTML5 or something else. Apple has shown it is more than just rumblings that there is a demand for something else.
If nothing else, from Apple's self serving actions, we might actually push mobile web experience forward and develop new technologies that will improve the user experience; as opposed to being held back by one company's monopoly.
Adobe is not advancing the web experience. Adobe is stifling it.
And the jackasses that suck Adobes dick aren't helping.
For Most Colleges the Comprehensive Final Exam is optional. Most colleges give several exams during the year and the then a comprehensive final. So by the time you take the final, you've already been tested on the material. So the final doesn't serve much of a purpose. Most professors will give a final as an option and allow you to swap out that test score, for a lesser test score.
Hawking did not come up with the Big Bang Theory. Georges Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory. Fred Hoyle is credited with coining the term Big Bang during a 1949 radio broadcast.
It's really quite simple. When you ask, Who created God? You get the answer God always existed or God created itself.
So if you say the Universe created itself, religion nuts claim that can't happen because the Universe can't create itself. Meanwhile they are perfectly happy saying God create itself.
See the problem.
I can accept that a supreme being created all the universe. I can also accept that that universe happened all by itself. Neither one gets me closer to the how.
Strange since funding for embryonic stem cell research and conducting embryonic stem cell research has been hampered by political posturing for decades.
Yeah tell that to all the Homosexual couples in California who won their Federal Court case over-turning Proposition 8 but can't get married because the ruling is being appealed.
The current decision is being appealed. Thus it is very likely the judges decision will be over-turned.
Thus stopping current research would be premature and reckless.
You could put a moratorium on research projects that have not started but to stop in-progress work is wrong.
You're funny de Icaza and apparently an idiot. Google has been working on it's own language for sometime. They are not going to use some 2nd rate Java knock-off language like.NET.
Yeah I guess if you don't know how to program, then sure you'd use.NET.
FYI no one is using mono. Seriously if you are a.NET developer you are not using Mono, you're developing on Windows, not some second rate implementation.
If you read both blogs you'd understand why Kurzweil doesn't know what he is talking about.
Here's the crux of his argument:
"We cannot derive the brain from the protein sequences underlying it; the sequences are insufficient, as well, because the nature of their expression is dependent on the environment and the history of a few hundred billion cells, each plugging along interdependently. "
Adobe will still be shipping Flash 10.1 in 2 years to half the smart phone market. Shouldn't we be passed that.
Apple vs. Adobe scorecard as of mid-2010: Apple will soon release its 4th phone; Adobe is still working on its 1st full-fledged Flash mobile runtime.
The points above illustrate that Flash is weak in the mobile market and slow to develop. Flash is strong on the desktop but that does not translate into the mobile market, just ask Microsoft.
None of the points the so called analyst mentions, matters. It's all about user experience. If the user doesn't like it, they move on to something else. It doesn't matter if an on-line advertiser likes it, if the user doesn't, it's DOA.
Which brings us to the final point. The mobile market is in constant flux. Adobe has yet to release one full fledged Flash mobile runtime and HTML5 is here. Meaning there are alternatives that have already hit the market. There is a Quake II in HTML5.
The prequels suck. Lousy acting. Horrible script. Plot made no sense.
Basically you were watching a bad Twilight Movie.
How do you know that the original series: Star Wars (not a freakin' New Hope), Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi was better than the new movies? Have someone who hasn't seen them before sit down and watch them!
Guess what, they like the originals! In fact they are mighty impressed with originals after watching those god awful movies.
Seriously if you liked the 3rd prequel you need a lobotomy that or you are prepubescent girl that had the screaming thigh sweets for Hayden Christensen. Yeah brilliant acting, "I hate you." Wow awesome script writing and emoting.
Slashdot Mirror
Really? Buying an iPad is burning money but buying a Kindle is not??
How about because a Kindle is a single use device whereas an iPad is not. Why would you buy a one off device? Now that's a waste of money
FYI the article was talking about handheld devices, not just the iPad.
Oh dear god you trolls. The point about the comment is that DX11 is not supported on Windows XP. Microsoft has no intention of supporting DX11 on XP and they want to kill XP. Thing is a lot of users still use XP.
Shhh, don't tell anyone. They don't want you to know that.

It's that whole Galileo thing...Slashdot is still kind of touchy about that....
Are you a moron or something.
Fact: HFCS is chemically different than other sugars.
Fact: HFCS is metabolized different than other sugars.
Fact: HFCS increases appetite, causes you to eat more, more than other sugars.
Fact: Certain cancers consume HFCS more than other sugars.
Fact: HFCS is artificially cheaper than other sugars because of Federal Subsidies to corn farmers and tariffs on imported cane sugar!
In a word or two: FUCK OFF!
Beck is that you??

Actually the correct answer was Mormon....

Yes, you are a moron.
"crowdsourced knowledge, which is likely"
Why? Unless the people making up the "crowd" are experts in the area the entry is discussing, the entry is not valid.
The moron is the person who believes wiki-pedia is valid.
Yeah right Google is going to use .NET?
.NET.
You're funny de Icaza and apparently an idiot. Google has been working on it's own language for sometime. They are not going to use some 2nd rate Java knock-off language like
But keep up the comedy routine.
Yeah I guess if you don't know how to program, then sure you'd use .NET.

The hypocrisy aspect of this decision is the "destroying" embryos claim.
These embryos are from fertility clinics.
Embryos in fertility clinics are destroyed regularly because they cannot be kept indefinitely.
So what about that one judge!
So let's not get off on saying the embryos are being "destroyed" because no one cares about the embryos being destroyed in fertility clinics.
It's a simple matter of law. The judge could have said that and mention changing the law.
You're a moron.

Kurzweil just ignores this.
Uh no..because Kurzweil does not refute Myer's claims. Kurzweil's response underscores Myer's points.
Kurzweil is an idiot.
Except Ajax is everywhere. It won't take long for HTML5 to take off. Adobe's days are numbered.

Please, Open Solaris was on life-support BEFORE Oracle bought Sun.
NOBODY USED IT!
Maybe if Sun developed and supported it 10 years ago, it could have turned into something.
