Don't warry, we have already technology in place to shield us from cold due low solar activity. It is, basically, thick layer of CO2 [turning to sun my naked ass].
Problem is that console producers must already have at least broad idea what will next gen look like. We can assume in 5 years from now not only Intel, but also AMD and nVidia will have ray tracing cards. But Sony needs something *right now* that they can build their HW and SW around. Intel is currently only one with not only idea how to make ray tracing hw/sw engine but also working prototypes of Larabee they can provide to Sony soon. They might go with 2-chip solution: Larabee for graphics + normal 4-way Intel CPU for everything else. I would really like to see game engines moving to Java because with ray tracing there is really no need to stick with C/C++ any more. All general routines (AI, scripting, camera movements) are easy to do in Java and CPU doesn't care for graphics - you send whole scene to GPU for rendering, shadows and all is done in GPU. Also, Java is much more pleasant for doing multithreaded stuff.
Why is it stupidity (I don't see any arguments in your post) ? Guys spent some hours doing this test and you spent 20 seconds writing comment on how it sucks without providing any useful link to similar benchmark "done right" (tm).
Are hezbollah and hamas really terrorist organizations? I certainly wouldn't compare them to, say, Al Qaeda. They are fighting against foreign (Israely) army in their own country (Palestine). Whats wrong with that?
Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
I don't recall Iran invaded any other country in recent history so I don't feel frightened by their satellites or missiles, nuclear or not. And before anyone starts hysterical comments on what this or that Iranian politician said (on USA, Israel,...) , lets not forget what other politicians said and did to Iran (including supporting Saddam's attempt to invading Iran, open military threats by Bush, Obama, Sarko,...).
In DPRK, they will let thousends of singing young people display image of broadbend internet server on stadium, using color tables. They can turn it into a car in 2 seconds as well.
Add a nice shiny.NET app, or worse, Java, and you've got yourself a tarpit.
While I prefer Web apps in enterprise area myself, I don't see why/how Java is slow? In my experience Java application is slower to start then average C/C++ application but then runs at about same speed. Maybe you eperienced some poorly written Java applications.
Well, when I see scenes from Gaza strip on TV, no wander CTO will be figurehead - I mean, lets face it, who cares about CTO. If Obama is able to bring peace there, I would swalow Darl McBride as CTO, FFS.
As insider I can confirm system was fully 24/7 reliability certified, even shielded for smooth operation under nuclear attack. But then 1-year-free AVG licence ended.
There is possibility that major GUI appications will move gradually towards managed code (Java) so QT + GTK would become only sort of low-level windowing library sitting between X and Java apps. Major IDEs (Eclipse, Netbeans) are proof-of-a-concept, except startup times issue, which certainly should be addressed by Sun VM. I would welcome such transision but it will not happen in next 5 years, thats for sure. There are just too many C/C++ apps in Linux to rewrite and some of them (Office, Browser) are really complex.
Most horrible projects I've seen were "extensible frameworks" that can do just about anything with appropriate extensions (plugins or whatever). But currently, without any existing extensions, it is bloated pile of crap. Also, there is nobody in sight willing to make one extension for it (except sample, done by author himself, on how to easily create extension).

Airbus landed on Hudson river in New York earlier today, after two flying chairs hit both engines.
is it really needed to go into his private issues on public forum?
task manager has 36 entries in the applications tab, 66 Processes, 37 open Windows.
Easy: you are running 139 applications.
Wait, Internet browser is not application, it is part of OS. At least thats what Microsoft told us.
Yeah, where is bitch when you need her...
This means that 2 cores should be enough for everybody !

If I sign, will they give me that cool german helmet?
Also, how they send something via e-mail? Is FedEx involved in process?

and first step towards FOSS crowd, almost finished after 10 years in MS research labs, is FUCKING GRUB SUPPORT.
Wives also make good laptops, i hear.
how the hell we are suppose to know, asshole
I was hoping someone will go over both statements word-for-word until irrefutable prove of our "civilization" moral superiority is found.

Obviuos solution: outsource goverment to Korea.
