"It compiles on every major platform, and it is open source."
Yes, on every major platform's specific version and package installation. Once you start mixing libraries for incompatible hardware and ending up with non-standard releases (i.e. libc), compiling breaks and it's off to the races on fixing incompatibilities, boost included as in some cases I could never fine a working boost version when updaing the kernel or libc, or something else on the dev branches of those packages (for features)... That more common than the exception with the dynamics of OSS.
I agree with most, that Python is a poor example to compare boost with. C# or Java are much better examples.

Then you've just created JSF...which to pretty much the whole web, for some reason I don't understand, hates. Yes, that's a harsh hate [for Java]--maybe due to the huge contingency of PHP/Python/Perl/Ruby/C# folks which write code that powers most of the 'free' web? (needed to jab)
I hope Apple realizes this is the same situation as the Newton. Talk about De ja vu. And make the correct decision this time around or the iPhone will be like the Newton when the gPhone/Android, LG LiMO, or 2.0Motomax phones come out by the end of this year.
Despite bad reviews, that OpenMoko phone is starting to look better and better--especially for development.

"While it wouldn't maybe help the INDIVIDUAL very much, the ENTIRE COUNTRY would benefit a decent amount."
Great, so the country will benefit from [mainly] inflating their tires.
I sure hope those tire gauges from China are accurate, cause the last 2 I bought here and here are different by 9psi.
Looks like the country benefiting from this isn't ours at 14.99 a pop.
Let's face it, neither plan from either candidate satisfies the public--it's because BOTH are relying on industry and corporations (for alternative energy and efficiency) to solve it. Conservation is a start, but a long road--and we're looking at 20-30yrs.
I doubt either candidate will supply the answer we need, but sure would like to give us the answer we want. Hey, it's an election year!
nice try to slide in an agenda using a poor analysis by some BW wannbe investigator.
You can't judge a whole party that's been around for 100 years due to one 'bad' president (and like the worse, but still) nor just use a single article from a magazine. This is just reading the media that's catering to you and your point of view. And that you reference them, they got you hook, line, and sinker. I love the [new] media, it's become much harder to find the truth, though easy to find the facts nowadays.
If that was the case then all democrats are just like McGovern, out of touch... But then again, some democrats are fiscally responsive (Clinton) and some not (Carter)--it all depends on the current times and what the president sees as a priority to the peoples' agenda. Choose wisely... One should ask, is Obama's agenda really something we should agree and act upon now or is it too far-sighted?
Honestly, this reminds me of DTED and orthorectification techniques used in the satellite imaging world. Just now applied to tagged photos at the consumer level.
The the winner (Apple) goes the spoils, but to the problems go the companies that deal with Apple (Infineon). Shame on Infineon for not making sure Apple succeeds.
He duded the system and exposed it for what it's worth. He exploited Apple just as Apple exploits commodity hardware and restricts everything--and forces you to pay $300 for the same memory that goes into a Dell.
He made fun of Apple, a corporation. Corporations hates being the butt of a joke--hence their Achilles' heel.
Why not try 2 other, safer combustible gases to separate?
I once created a oxygen/hydrogen rocket engine for a science fair project back in 1987 that ran off a solar generator and near blew my hand off (instead, it blew my venturi made of plaster off my tennis can that held the gases when I ignited it). Yes, H is hard to contain.
Interesting. In some cases this says Google has no QA on the images it puts up on Streetview, or even the 2D maps themselves to an extent. Can't see the street sign cause of that person or structure in the way--who cares! just ship out the images! sell ads now!
Most GIS/Mapping companies have strict QA to make sure the maps are clean and properly accurate. And that means minimal obstructed view--no people/moving objects as best as possible. Google 2D uses maps from these companies and that's why 2D over head maps are legit and people have no problems. It's the street view, which is done completely under google that the same QA is NOT applied. Hence why all the issues with street view and that the easiest way for Google to make money is via the opt-out model.
Get the same QA in place and I guarantee the concern will go away.
All those are completely different than what Google does:
Utilities, Gov't UPS, etc... are on your property to either provide maintenance (e.g. electric poles), service it (e.g. FedEx), or provide safety services (gov't services). Basically all for your well being.
Google, on the other hand, is trying to profit off it without passing any profits to you--really... has your Google searches been more accurate lately? (Are they really improving the search service or just improving how to sell you ads and new *research* products that are always in beta)?
They make a profit, but is your well-being being improved?
We all know information is making sense out of data, but it's a different set of requirements and processes for people vs. corporations vs. gov't. Just looking at the idea from a systems engineering POV.
Slashdot Mirror
Make plenty sense to prevent using an Android device as a 3G access point or even an pseudo-SMSC.
Sony allowed it back in the GPRS days, but they closed it.
Why couldn't they just build a real one like this one they used on the publicity tour?

Hence why this is not different from IBM or any of the big5 consulting firms...
MS is taking a move out of the good'ol consulting handbook to make extra profit.
So basically which group would you choose from:
A Professional team of designers with a requirement of building a state of the art GUI--that drives you towards their properitary apps (e.g. iTunes, zune marketplace) or even their hardware offerings...
Or a professional team of designers (Linux gurus, University HMI researchers, or handset dev shops) that are more focused in useability and likely your best interest in using 'the' device?
After switching your settings, you need to either [refresh] the whole page or logout/login for the changes to take effect.
So much for REST design...
And that's why Justice is blind. The incompetent actually does have rights! Unfortunately.

When building a virtual Earth using satellite imaging you basically use the same techniques.
Great idea for the 'consumer', but nothing revolutionary, just exploiting the same tech that's been around for 10ys.
Can't blame Apple.
But we can blame the stuff that Apple chooses.
The the winner (Apple) goes the spoils, but to the problems go the companies that deal with Apple (Infineon). Shame on Infineon for not making sure Apple succeeds.
IT jobs in India and China gained by 100000, and that IT support calls are averaging twice as long to complete comapred to last year.

I need to wear black.
Hold 'fists' all the time (unless to zoom, which will be seldom)
and work in a dark room.
All to prove that I can use all my body parts to do what? Move a freaking 2D window across the screen. Inefficiency at its best I guess?
Where do I sign up? (too cool!)
Interesting, that I just returned my Lenovo laptop with a NVidia processor just 3 weeks ago since it crapped out.
OK, the Inquirer's left menu's Review section [pic] is getting way out of hand.
Also, I wonder if the catalysts deteriorate over time? Hence creating a toxic foot print? You don't get anything for free (as in beer).
My project used lead plates with diluted H2SO4 in water. The plates would deteriorated over time and you end up with a toxic goo.

Actually, you just need 2 cameras:
1. one that gets smashed when you tell them your recording. And...
2. one that records them smashing camera #1.
Entrapment? Maybe. Showing intent? Possibly. Exposing the truth? Absolutely.
I'd be interested in DirectShow apps. Cause I'm surprised they have HD video (WM11?) playing.
Both VMWare and Parallels give me a blank screen when I run heavy video that uses DirectShow.
