Instead of planning for a 3.0 release, GNOME is opting for a gradual, piece by piece updating that will culminate in a 2.30 release. The change in version numbers is significant: It indicates that, unlike with the KDE 4 series, there will be no major break with past releases. This philosophy was obvious long before it became official last summer, and has the obvious advantage of not alienating users.
In my opinion, despite Gnome's incremental approach, they are still highly successive in alienating their users.
I found this article on Wikipedia but it doesn't say much except "A kernel debugger is a debugger present in some kernels to ease debugging and kernel development by the kernel developers". Can someone whip out a cluebat please?
Actally what you are refering to is known as the "weak" anthropic principle. It doesn't tell us anything either. I'm with Smolin on this one, cosmological natural selection is why we're here.
Just a few thoughts.. IF they create true microscopic black holes, then their disappearance (and our existence) is dependent on the fact that Hawking radiation can dissipate enough energy before the event horizon disappears. Even though the event horizon disappears (or shrinks) there is a possibility that graviation will still pull in matter. I'm sure there is some heavy-weight math involved to do calculations on this. The thought of this happening still makes me shiver a little, though.
Also, keep in mind that Hawking radiation has only been postulated. It has never been proved only possibly observed, as far as I know. I guess the LHC hopes to prove/disprove it then. Hawking wins if we survive:)
That is very interesting. I also remember the ATI X800, or something along those lines? That was a very good performer back in the day. I think it was about the same time nvidia released some cards with insanely noisy fans? Maybe that was the 5950?
Personally, I find it slightly creepy to change the behaviour of a class this way. Duck typing looks cool, but it kinda breaks down if you expect a duck and get an atomic bomb instead.
Your particular problem could easily have been solved with method overloading (given a less ducky language), which I personally would prefer if only for the peace of mind.
This means that SugarCRM can finally be forked? In that case, I will be happy to help out fixing the SOAP api they completely broke when upgrading from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1. Not to mention performance improvements and generally fixing their utterly horrible spaghetti ravioli code.
The index size itself can grow pretty large, especially with so many different data collections to index. Using an example with a simple inverted file and a plain text collection, it can quickly grow twice as big as the text collection itself if you index everything not including punctuation, even with stemming. And that's not even considering collocations and latent semantic indexing.
If the attacker can supply their own code, they can just call popen() or system() and dispense with all the hoopla required to compermise the worker and inject shellcode.
It's not that simple. In the case of web hosts with the open_basedir restriction in effect, you can't *open() or system() anything outside the basedir. It's a pretty effective jail. Here's an excerpt from the open_basedir documentation:
Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree, including the file itself. This directive is NOT affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
When a script tries to open a file with, for example, fopen() or gzopen(), the location of the file is checked. When the file is outside the specified directory-tree, PHP will refuse to open it. All symbolic links are resolved, so it's not possible to avoid this restriction with a symlink.
Imagine a citizen of Flatville finding a circle. He proceeds to move around its circumference, constantly measuring his position (for example with the gps on his openmoko). After a while, he can understand that it is a circle even though he can't actually see it.
That is a very intruiging thought, and counters what many of the people I know fear the most - getting dragged to court for something they haven't done. One problem is though, such a precedent can also be used to protect criminals such as spammers, frauds, and so on.
There's a difference between math and statistics (statistics uses some math and substansial amount of mathematical notation), and TFA seems to be all about statistics and probability. What you are suggesting is a negative feedback mechanism, and hasn't much to do with neither:) Not that I think that is a bad concept though.
Since the kernel development is decentralized, there is seemingly no point in branching (keeping stable branches) since there is already a lot of branches at each and every developer. But I don't get this - why can't Linus maintain a definite "stable" branch/tree and keep branching (or what to call it) while upping the minor revision for the big changes? Why is it so important to keep only one (un)stable branch and adding the big stuff into it?

MVC isn't an abstraction (abstraction of what, in any case?), it's a compound pattern. As for purity - in that respect it sure as hell beats any other compound or architectural pattern I've had to struggle with previously (which is quite a few).
The movies will be crippled with DRM, according to the article. Also they won't be free, though TFA doesn't say anything explicitly about cost except "No pricing structure for the BBC content on Zudeo has been revealed".
Combine PHP Eclipse with Subclipse and Eclipse SQL Explorer (and maybe even Azzurri Clay), and you're ready for any serious PHP project. I've used alot of PHP editors and IDE's, and PHP Eclipse beats them all by far - including Zend Studio. With Sun Java available on ubuntu, it's a breeze to use on a GNU/Linux setup as well.

It's so easy, even a cat can do it!

Yep, also present in sharks (and related families).

Anyone know if it will be "Vista Ready"? :)
So what happened to OurEclipse? Oh wait, I guess it's still alive and well :)

TFA uses metric units, but the slashdot machinery has for some reason converted it to imperial units. Why?
