"The new iPhones are here! The new iPhones are here!"
I bought a Ford Mustang years ago, and then Ford had the nerve to introduce a redesigned model, with fuel injection and a CD player. I used Ford Credit, but they wouldn't exchange my old car for the new model, and my year old car was only worth HALF of what I payed for it.
Just like a newspaper, the cable companies sell local commercials. If you subscibe to basic cable, the cable company can charge more for advertising because of subsciption rates. Would you pay to advertise your company on local cable if no one subscibed to it?
They charge only a couple of dollars more because they make up the difference elsewhere.
The original poster was talking about learning new skills to take advantage of multicore and parallel programming. LabVIEW has been multithreaded and multicore capable for guite a long time.
Don't blame your inability to understand graphical/dataflow programming or a flawed undergrad program on LabVIEW.
With so much whining, Maybe you should still be in nursery school, typing A-B-C on the keyboard and wearing the diapers...
This is called 'screening' and is common in the electronics components industry. Your 2.66 GHz CPU is the same as a 2.8 GHz CPU but during screening started to generate errors at 2.8 and was simply sold as a 2.66
Google is paying (or insisting) that all their processors to be screened at +5 degC. They may pay a couple of dollars more for this, or may hold the fear of using AMD processors over Intel's head to get this testing at no additional charge.
Screening is done in the simplest technologies including resistors. The difference in a 1% and 0.01% 100 Ohm resistor is the price paid for screening, not necessarily the quality of the component...
Exactly. Just one more great piece of technology limited to the righties. Aren't more artistic types left handed? It would only make sense to offer a left-handed version...
Back in the day where you had to compile the workstation shell for a Novell DOS client, I remember taking a training class and using shgen. The UI offered two options OK|HELP. I selected HELP. I got a duplicate dialog. I proceeded to select HELP-HELP-HELP several times until the UI replied "Pick one, Bonehead!".
Others in the class tried it and got the same result. I reported it to Novell and got an apology letter.
The geniuses are working for NI. The deadlocks and race conditions can be controlled using dataflow programming. The language is called LabVIEW.

Why would you announce this with those two facts glaring in their face? Wouldn't it be far wiser to announce this in say, August 2009 - when their OS is legitimately 5-6 months away?
By making a public announcement, management can now put pressure on the developers to meet the schedules they have presented.
I'm not sure C is up to the multithreading/ multiprocessor support that is going to be required as processors keep shifting from single core to multicore architectures... Mind you, I don't think anything else is really set up for it either (Erlang?) but that's going to be the next big challenge. LabVIEW is multithreading/multiprocessor capable and has moved from #34 to #31 in the last 12 months...

Watermarking would be fine with me; the issue is that a child shares something and Sony and their sharks come after you and sue you for everything you've got. I see it as a form of baiting; give your kids a Sony song card for Christmas and spend New Years in jail.
I see only gains for the industry and more potential loss for the consumer. The industry will continue to juggle the variables until they arrive at a 'taste' that the consumer will accept. This 'tastes' like 'New Coke' to me.
Don't forget that with these cards, the store's inventory doesn't have to be monitored in the same way; an old Barry Manilow CD doesn't go unsold; the card can be used to download the latest one-hit wonder OR Barry. The cards would certainly cost less to make than the CDs would cost to press, and Sony can track where the sale took place and when. Sony and the retailers make more money this way than from a CD.
DRM free doesn't mean Sony couldn't (or wouldn't) place a unique key in the MP3 header. Your 8 year old daughter places a copy of the downloaded file in a public location and then Sony can track you down and sue your rear-end off.

The FSF's explanation is 'you can sell GPL, so it can be commerical!'
It depends on what your definition of 'is' is... ;)
