And it will only get better: with increasing number of cloud-gamers, ISPs will start deploying OnLive servers on sites close to customers, decreasing latency dramatically. Another point that might improve in time is HW latency (modem / ISP routers,...) which might be improved now that it is important for some BFUs and finally, OnLive might end up being property of Google, therefore spread much faster to remote locations near potential customers.
More importantly, VP8 video encoding this is not core business for Google. Some random company can start patent-war and achieve VP8 being removed from ffmpeg for a month or three, at expense of being removed from business (see: SCO).
In such case of foreign government blackmailing Google, US should respond with serious measures towards China companies and their operations in US. However, knowing how weak Obama is when it comes to nations he cannot mindlessly bomb all day using drones, nothing will happen.
Countries that provide free universal health care figured this: At any time, only X amount of people needs any healthcare assistance. We can pay for Y members of medical personnel. Y members of medical personnel are able to deal with X people. Solution is rather expensive (educating, training and then paying Y members of medical personnel), but acceptable.
I guess you wouldn't go often to buffet if all they serve are various diseases. Government-run health care worked good in communist countries - I lived at one. Albeit being completely free, doctors claimed less then 1% of people misused it by knowingly visiting doctors when they actually didn't need to. Hospitals were managed by experienced doctors who overlooked quality of other doctors. Until today, most doctors agree healthcare then was cheap and efficient. There were flows, however, like: poor communist countries couldn't buy best available medical equipment, drugs etc. Why government ever let healthcare go private, insurance driven, is beyond me. I am sure however, sooner or later European countries here will gradually move back towards this communist-style government-run public healthcare, and abandon this useless and expensive "insurance" level of BS which coupled with private hospitals are able to pump vast amount of money out of the system.
if they achieve +10% of avg. performance against gcc (not gdb!) on AMD64 and/or ARM platform, everyone will start using it pretty soon. Until then it cannot replace gcc. Unless compiler is in some way seriously broken, its only important characteristic is performance of generated code.
Which brings interesting point: after monitor displays progress to this level, complicating algorithms for font anti-aliasing will become obsolete. Also, all day programming will be a lot cooler for my eyes.
For graphics you obviously need trigonometry. Lots of things we used to develop earlier is now available as free libraries. Much more important then advanced mathematics is, IMHO, having good estimation of how will certain solution or algorithm perform in various situations. This is developed in programmers head with time.
As a EU citizen, I expect Commission will soon figure they did something _really_ stupid _again_. Therefore, next provision will enable *SOME* shops (enumerated in 1200 pages book) to remain online-only. For enumerating all privileged online shops and nagotieting per-member country number, European Online Retail Agency will be established (EORA) in, say, Rome, with huge building and army of translators and other staff.

How about this: "Sciantists named this object "BP"

thats about 30 forks(), and there you go.

That bastardised version of the blessed game Rugby, that Americans call Football, should really be called Throwball.
Or, alongside rugby itself, "Boringball".

España Totally Lost! (0:1)
I would't buy Israeli product, given I have several choices. This principle helped in the case of South Africa, so why not repeating it.
I can't understand a word of what you are mumbling, but what does this mean for flying cars?
This tells a lot about regime inhuman enough to expose its own people to ActionScript.
Adobe programmers are lamest bunch of losers since forever. Noting to see here, move along.

You are right. I searched for "tinfoil hat" the other day, Google said "Nothing found. Tinfoil hats are permanently unavailable. Get Used."
Actually, he refused rigger job, thats why he is leaving Oracle.

Simplified? In China? Bloody hell, show me complicated one then.
Non-issue on /.
...and something will go "tits-up" too.
It if fragment of lonegr text, and says "Even if they never come back to this planet again, these flying cars are positively coolest thing _ever_".
Our colors are warm which means there are worms in our software.
