Yeah, the entire point of having one of these is so you can get in serially to devices located in places where using/holding a laptop may be uncomfortable and/or difficult. If you make the ipad harder to hold than it does defeat the purpose a bit. Though since he seems to have posted the pinouts and whatnot I guess someone else could try taking a whack at making it better.
It mainly gives them a name which grants them access to people they would otherwise not get access to. If you call up the prime ministers office and triy to schedule an interview your chances are a lot higher if you say you are from th e Times than if you say y ou are some internet blogger. Whil bloggers certainly can, and do, get audiences with important people its rare and for the most part their fame is non-transferable.
And after you have had one you are immune to it for life*(well until your immune system goes down the shitter anyway). Thats why I try to get as many cold viruses as I can right now so I can get it over with while I'm young*
*Do not actually try this, almost certainly by the time the virus gets back to you it will have mutated to the point where your body is no longer immune
I wonder if this finding will help researchers develop better anti HIV drugs. Part of the reason that HIV is almost impossible to remove from the body is its ability to remain latent, HIV viruses don't always start producing new virons and killing the cell right away, sometimes they enter a cell and essentially just sit there, sometimes for up to 5 years. Ordinarily the cell would be marked for execution, but HIV(and other viruses, notably the herpes family) somehow prevent the cell from making the chemicals necessary to let the immune system know that it's time to die. This is why people on HIV treatment can have 0 viral load(the amount of virus in a particular blood sample), but still be infected. They still have HIV just kind of hanging out in a very small number of cells.
I read a few years back(sorry cannot find the article) that they had some luck using epilepsy medication in combination with a huge dose of anti-HIV medication, patients saw about a 75% reduction in the number of infected cells, but the side effects were so severe that they discontinued the study. Not a single person was totally cured. I wonder if its possible to use the information gathered here to help determine how HIV prevents cell death and how we can stop this.
He checked it in because the airline told him he couldn't bring 2 laptops in his carry on, we were doing a demo and he needed to bring two laptops for it. If he didn't have to check it in he wouldn't have.
Or the fact that they essentially steal with impunity. My coworker packed a macbook pro in his checked bag but when he got back he found a note from the TSA and no laptop. The TSA claims that they have security cameras on their employees at all times so they couldn't have stolen it. However when he looked closely at his bag he saw a small but certainly noticeable cut on the upper right part of his bag.
We theorize that the TSA people look for bags with goodies, "inspect" them and if they find something worth stealing they make a small cut on the bag. Then they give the bag to someone else who then proceeds to take it to a place without cameras, grabs the goodies and then sends the bag through.
The TSA repeatedly claimed that since they "screen" their employees and that their employees don't steal. Bullshit.
Actually South Park is pretty much totally made in the USA. They basically do everything in CG(Simpsons is still done with cel animation, but the color is now done digitally). Thats how South Park can actually parody fairly recent events, a show can be created within a week, for the Simpsons it usually takes about a year to go from script to finished product, a huge chunk of that is the time it takes to do the animation.
So now whats to stop someone from trolling like this guy then posting a picture of a person he hates claiming it to be a picture of the troller? Getting the innocent person arrested, even if the charges are eventually dropped would be a pretty good troll....
I'm sure the hardware behind this site is much less complex than the google operation and yet fights malware better. Just another example of the huge costs that Windows shitty security is putting on the rest of computing world. Why won't that joke of an OS die already?
The Chinese computer has the fastest theoretical "peak" performance, but how well that translates to actual operational efficiency really depends on how well they are actually able to utilize the GPUs. This computer makes massive use of the GPUs which sort of gives it an architecture similar to the earth simulator, ie a massive # of vector processors supplemented by some scalar cpus. GPUs have a lot more memory bandwidth restrictions when compared to the general purpose vector CPUs used in the earth simulator but are drastically less expensive(so it's possible to use a lot more of them)
Jaguar by comparison doesn't really use a lot of GPGPU computing for better or for worse.
I guess they still aren't up to snuff with European security requirements then. Not too long ago I flew NRT->HEL->FRA and at Helsinki they made us go through another security check and they actually ended up finding lots of stuff that was banned, including a couple knives.
And offtopic but Finish women wearing security uniforms with white leather gloves on = HAWT!
And obviously I'm a fucking retard as well, the first article cites the "speculated price" but the second one actually links to the real nook. Maybe I should apply for a job as a slashdot editor.
To be fair by eating at McDonalds the nuns and kids had obviously shown that they wanted to die soon, all the murderer did was expedite the process, and save their tastebuds a bit of agony.
The answer is obvious, the fish neuroeceptors bonded with those in your own brain and you are now part fish. Do you find yourself flopping about when you are removed from water? Do you find yourself capable of eating until your stomach literally explodes because you have no receptors that tell you that you're full? Do you find yourself inexplicably drawn to plastic castles? If so you are a fishman, you best be hanging around the basement of draculas castle attacking anyone with a whip and sen ding him flying back into the water.
It isn't that hard but not straight forward. Study widely distributed software written in C and you'll see. The Perl make process heavily scrutinises your system before compiling anything. Not particularly for the faint-hearted.
Actually I have, used the EXACT same code on an iPhone, a mac and Linux and it worked fine. While writing portable C is easier, it's obviously even easier to write non-portable C. I kind of liken it to the old arcade game Dragons Lair. When you first start you are going to die a lot because you don't know the way forward. However with a little practice(and a lot of quarters) it becomes almost second nature and you can usually breeze through (though there is still the chance for an occasional slip up)
Seriously? You seriously think they would use Wine for a real time system? Are you out of your mind? Much more likely what they did is they ported over a lot of their code to run on a heavily modified real-time Linux(whose scheduler is a hell of a lot different than the one used by desktop distros). If you know what you are doing writing portable C isn't all that hard.
Yeah, their specialty seems to be essentially the PC version of the iMac(ie the all in one design that is much more popular in Japan than it is in the US or Europe)
Yes, and I burst out LAUGHING when he couldn't even get basic history right. It was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. I mean people are stupid enough to actually believe this guy? Thats infinitely funnier than any sitcom about really dumb characters.
There are still NEC branded PCs being sold in Japan. I don't know how much NEC actually has to do with the design/production, they could just be sticking their name on it, but they are still out there.

Bluetooth is prohibited in a lot of data centers, esp. when you are dealing with something as sensitive as a router.

Considering all the, ahem, unique....,designs in Spore I think the title of the first show will pretty much be "The Cocksons"
I managed to dig up the article, you can find it here.

There is no price point set for the nook yet. The $249 was the "widely speculated" price, not based on anything but guesses at this point.
