I always thought that mathematics involved both hemispheres, right hemisphere for grasping concepts and the left one for processing symbols.
Interestingly, mathematical savants are best at doing fast arithmetic, which is generally considered to be a left hemisphere skill, as is any symbolic manipulation.
Same thing with memory. What's being displayed is memory for symbols, a left hemisphere skill. The right hemisphere deals with remembering ideas and exeriences.
Of course, all of this is more of a general consensus, so there are exceptions.
This is quite interesting, because it's apperently different to people with Asperger's syndrome. I read somewhere that it's their right hemisphere that's lacking, and the left hemisphere is compensating for this. Which is why they have good language abilities (left hemisphere) and logical thinking (left hemisphere), but may lack in comprehension or finding meaning in what's being said (right hemisphere), as in the case of hyperlexia.
Name one commercial application written in Java or pure managed.NET. Almost all commercial applications are still being written in C++, despite the fact that Java has been around for a fairly long time. The reasons for this are performance issues and the enormous footprint of JVM (or any other "sandbox" type of architecture). I can't really see something like Photoshop ever to be written in Java (at least in it's present form).
The main thing that Java is used for at the moment is database-driven applications, where the bulk of processing is done by the RDBMS.
It is possible though to attack issues of security and reliability by improving existing architecture. Perhaps, by introducing new features into the compiler (such as the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collection), or making the underlying OS less prone to buffer overflows.
I'd say that rather your view of Christianity is rather fucked up. Somehow in Eastern, Orthodox Europe it is OK for males to kiss for greeting in the lips.
I can't say that I've seen a lot of that when I've been to Russia. I mean it's true that the politicians there are do it, but it's more of a put-on show, akin to kissing babies and the like. Honestly, none of the "regular" Russian blokes I know, greet each other with anything more than a handshake or perhaps a quick hug.
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with greater physical contact between males, in fact I think it's pretty cool. The less there is of idiotic machoism and the more people are excepting and open-minded the better the world would be.
Interestingly though, I wouldn't be very comfortable at all kissing another bloke. I'm just a product of society, I guess.
How vector units could help emulating x86 instructions (except for SSE of course) ????
I'm not defending or bashing anyone here. But I think the way this is possible is thourgh JIT. Compilation is a parallelisable problem. As you execute code on one cpu you can compile code on another.
The main difficulty would in be the fact that the APU and the x86 architectures are completly different. This might impact performance. Or perhaps it's possible to use the APUs for compilation and the main CPU for execution, or maybe a mixture both approaches.
Interesting study, not all that surprising.
How about a study like this against the varous NAT/routers being used out there? How easy is it to own systems sitting behind those?
... also, how easy is it to own the routers themselves?
I think this is a real issue with all those cheap broadband routers.
Actually it's really supprising that UML ranks so low in their benchmarks. I've always found UML performance to be close to that of the host. Definitely not an order of magnitude difference.
Then again what else do you expact from "sponsored" research.

You already said one arm, it will probably need another one to do anything useful, like holding the fridge door while getting a beer.
Put these things together and you have a humanoid robot.
huh?
Yeah, but the image quality was probably crap.
But I thought it was Ouray Easay!
What's going on?
This is all so confusing! I need to take a nap.
Shouldn't that be "misunderestimate".
Of course it's gonna be the same. Why wouldn't it be?

Hackers, on the other hand, are more spontaneous fluid thinkers. They tend to possess an artistic or creative quality.
I know which one I'd rather be. Also, being a geek is more of a lifestyle and being a hacker is a mode of thinkng/working.
P.S. These are all just personal views.
And remember, light is faster than sound. That is why you appeared bright until you spoke.
You, my friend, haven't learned English.
And remember, light travels slower in dense materials. This is why you're too slow to see how dense you are.
No, it's more like "pnud".

The article is not about databases in the conventional sense.

Anyway, it's way to early make any conclusions.
(granted, the code is probably all C not C++, but you heard what I meant!)
How exactly is that line of code C++ and not C.

You forgot the *cccchhhhhhhhhtttthhhhh* :)
It's called base64 enocoding.
With a name like that I'm supprised the guy wasn't snatched by KDE to be their chairman and inspirational guru.
