Another weakness is that PHP's function names are case insensitive. Some programmers might find this feature annoying, though this isn't a serious drawback.
How is this a drawback at all?
In my opinion, it prevents programmers from perhaps accidentally naming their own functions the same as a built-in, which is a good thing since there are so many, its useful to know as many as possible. However "annoying" this maybe to some people, its actually a good idea.
Lets see, for warranty verification, theft protection, automobile history tracking (for accidents), recall tracking (so your car doesnt explode, hopefully).
How many more reasons do you need?
I think it ges without saying that most, if not all Pentiums did not have these sorts of problems.
These have been, and probably always will be easy to fool. If anyone needs ultra-high security, it's doubtful that they'd choose this form of biometrics to begin with, unless they themselves are foolish.
As is true with any security measure, if it can br beaten, the geeks will find a way.
Even though my PS2 supports PS1 games, I dont have any to try, athough if I did, I'm sure I would have used it.
Not looking to PS but instead to the other successful console, Gamecube. have any of Nintendo's consoles been backwards compatible? No, and no one complains about that do they?
I dont have, and never will have an xbox, but I think this could be a fake "leak". Perhaps they cant decide themselves whether to allow backwards compatible support, so they intentionally "leak" this sort of decision and listen to the crowds reaction to base their decision on. I sure wouldn't put it past them, expect maybe for the listening part.
So if I understand this right, a direct hit from an RPG would cause a breech in the outter hull, exposing the inner, charged hull.
While teh rpg would apparently not affect the vehicle, whay happens if they use those grenade looking water balloons on the hole the RPG made? will this short circuit the system, and possibly fry anyone inside?
We need impenetrable EMP forcefields or adamantium hulls instead I think.:P
Can these things be programmed to duke it out with each other for the entertainment of the space station's crew?
0 grav battle bots
they just need to attach drill bits, chain saws, etc.
hrm, probably not too safe though
At least in Linux one has the option to switch between lighter environments such as XFCE, fluxbox, etc. when more power is required. And then you can switch back to KDE/Gnome to take your ever so 1337 screenshots.

Interesting..
Are there 250 million people in Germany?
The END of the solar system?!!
We're doomed!!!!!
oh just kidding, slashdot has been boring lately and you know it.
If space is so empty, then you must not exist.

Maybe we should tell John Ashcroft about open source database and copying solutions?"
With the Patriot Act in effect, and all of your lines tapped, I'd say John Ashcroft already knows.

So, we'll replace all this with web addresses so that if a big DNS host goes down like it did last week, then nothing will work.
GREAT!!
Maybe he is just predicting the future he wants, so that people will remember his name without having to say " - the inventor of DNS"

Our whole strategy is so close to the, if you will, the fate of Linux. No, I won't
