    EdgeSuite is an Akamai product. If the FBI is using Akamai then that's not totally surprising, and they do.

    Oops, missed the byline :)

    If you can't read critically, you shouldn't be commenting on /.

    If you post shit like this, you shouldn't be posting on /., whiny.

    Well, if it's a variable resistor and a variable capacitor (do they even make those?) it becomes quicker to say "one-pole smoother"

    you know, like how an IDE is a compiler, linker, editor, and debugger, or something.

    Expect a massive migration away from compressed formats, for example - JPEGs going to PNGs and TIFFs.

    PNGs are compressed. TIFFs can be compressed as part of the format.

    Your music collection of MP3/OGG/AAC may be re-sold to you in 32-bit (regular CDs use 16-bit, which was always just barely acceptable to critics of the format).

    And maybe they'll use 32-bit floats like Cubase. Steinberg will have the only software for mastering this stuff and will rake in even more money.

    my father-in-law modified two old mercedes so that they have dual fuel tanks. he starts up the car on regular diesel to avoid the clogging nature of veggie oil.

    he drives across the US pretty much for free, grabbing waste oil along the way. except in texas. apprently the oil there is too gross to use for fuel :)

  13. Re:Remember who's speaking on Katamari Creator Critical of Revolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Have you ever played Katamari Damacy? There are a full thirteen buttons on the PS2 controller which Katamari Damacy ignores. The entire game is played with two joysticks. The simplicity is enough to make even the Revolution controller look complicated, and yet it entirely achieves the sense of natural interface that the Revolution controller aspires to.

    Have you ever played Katamari Damacy? Katamari is a slave to that controller. You could not play that game without two identical joysticks. MAYBE you could play it on a GameCube controller.

    Having a CPU core stuffed into your FPGA along with the glue logic for your device means one less micro on the board. You could even lop off the core bits that don't get used if you're that concerned about space. You may think this is outlandish but Altera already does this with their NIOS II soft-core embedded processor.

    Yes, it won't perform as well as a real processor but there are times when CPU performance is not the bottleneck. Electromechanical systems spend a lot of time waiting for the motor to get move the fribbus over the wotsit.

    Unlikely. Being able to achieve the same popular as Facebook itself is a big gamble, and it will take a while for the investment to pay off. On the other hand, if you pay twice as much now, you get the revenue stream immediately, and you get the user base immediately.
