So, as always, there will be yet another philosophical patch to the meaning of Bible. Yet another is waiting behind the door after Jesus's DNA is analized and his true parents are identified (this is actualy ongoing effort).

.xxx is a great idea. Finally porn comes to the internet. Maybe.spam toplevel should be also considered. All spammers could moved there, so they'll be easy to filter.
Cell workstations will be 8-way tipically, which many programs (like GCC) is able to use. If claims of Power5/Cell performance are true, it means that it will compile linux kernel under 5 sec. (8-way). All system, including KDE/GNOME and standard set of apps will take less then hour. Sounds too cool to be true.
Kicking ass of J2EE does not yet impose any technical quality of LAMP except that it actually works.

Imagine driving the little thing around on the ground and seeing what it sees.
I did it! And found Grand Turismo graphics to be more "realistic" then reality itself.
Yet another technology that makes you feel nothing can happen to you. Just as airbags increased avarage speed, this "enhencement" will make many people think they can drive almost asleep. Hey, who cares, camera will wake me up anyway. And if doesn't? Nevermind, I have 4 airbags!
I mean where is 1GB email for everybody? There was so much talk, but nothing is delivered (I mean *for everyone*. Its no problem for me to setup 1GB mail account for me and limited count of my friends/relatives). Browser? None. Desktop indexing? None (outside Windows). So, all we have is web search engine coupled with mostly useless add-ons (froogle, sms,...). Moreover, in many countries (like here in Czech) this engine is useless, becouse it doesn't handle language well (example: serch for "kolo" should also find "kola" in Czech, which is too much for google to understand), so almost all peaople use jyxo.cz wich is *much* better then google. I guess that this apply for many other countries.
I am predicting that Intel compilers department will be trashed soon. According to latest Coyote's benchmarks, GCC is caching up with performance. Moreover, you cannot improve performance of C++ compiler beyond certain limit, and it seems both intel and gcc (also MS) are close to that point. So, nobody will buy ICC to gain 5% on one app and loose 3% on another. Times when Intel had 30-40% over gcc will never come back.
If Ashcroft's ideas materialize, which is unfortunately likely, we will be able to know what "dirty and unaccaptable" sites was Democratic candidate visiting since he was 5 years old. Actually, Kerry is last candidate that have at least theoretical chance to win elections, simply becouse his is too old to have all his logs stored in goverment backup.
they was probably testing some new weapons. Its hardly intention to broadcast on frequencies that lame civilizations use to find new targets for voyager-spam.
You really never heard of quantum-frequency-time-shifting (QFTS) effects? It will be used in every future broadcast, since it can adjust frequency back in time to what is reciever actually listening. How can we *ever* understend so advance technology millions of years beyond us? Or, maybe, Arecibo is really broken.
nytimes.com talks about the reasons that development of commercial VOIP *in the US* may be stifled by the costs required to allow the federal government to listen in on conversations.
"Idei also said a potential acquisition of movie studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc would be aimed at effectively incorporating MGM's software library into Sony's film division."
Could founders of Great MGM studios think of more humiliating end then being sold for couple of.so and.lib files.
Here in my company we solve component interoperability with SOAP protocol (Axis on Java/gSoap on c++) and so far it works great on different platforms. Only COM we have used sometimes ago was MSXML and that was >hell. We had to reinstall and re-reintall it several times including hand-deleting registry to make it work. Now, I know that is likely problem of MSXML rather then COM, but many (most?) COM objects does not implement stuff that should be implemented, in my experience.
"Anyone who has written even a simple game under Windows should know the basics of COM and how it works"
Not true. I wrote many enterprise C++ applications and found COM ugly enough to avoid learning it. I prefere static linking. Applications in my opinion (and my life) should be self-contained, easy to deploy and portable. COM eliminates all 3 aspects. I think that even MS is trashing COM, only supporting it as "legacy" model (for.net).

does it take to index all Mexican Telenovelas...
... I am sure you will manage something because Slack is on *your* critical machines as well. This is time to give something back to FOSS, isn't it?

Why not just pickup a phone and say "Sister will come to New Yourk on Tuesday, If she refuse to operate, I will bring Grandma there myself."

Yes, aliens are running cables for a long time. All we need is to send "subscribe 1 year" message.
Hillary darling, please beleve me, all those are lies, I never took that woman to any hotel on the earth, really.
