I searched for tablet news in the Android category. Neither pulse or newsr are on the first page of results, but the Google reader app which is a joke on the tablet is the second result. Maybe they should have categories for tablet apps and phone apps. It's not like google search is much better, because the results for "android tablet news app" just brings links to a bunch of top 10 stories and no links to individual apps. Google app market online has a pretty good result though for "tablet news."
Isn't the point of this also that these have significantly more IO and Memory bandwidth for the same amount of power consumed? For applications that are more IO and memory bound than CPU bound (web serving, map-reduce) these things will be far more efficient overall. For a CPU bound algorithm this probably wouldn't really be the best solution.
That being said, traditional databases are IO bound, but they work better on faster independent machines with a lot of cores and a single backplane, but this technology may be better for some of the new generation of "noSQL" databases that are designed for "horizontal scalability."
Both houses of congress have agreed that genocide is occurring in the western part of the Sudan. 50,000 to 100,000 people have already been killed and over 1 million people have been displaced from their homes by force. How will USA help the rest of the world to put a stop to these crimes against humanity?

Your problem will be solved when you get to page 400...The beginning of cryptonomicon is really not very good. I think that to get to do everything that he wanted to do in the book he had to do a lot of early development of the characters. There are so many of them that it's just confusing at the begining. The real action starts in the middle and by that time you won't have trouble remembering who's who and what's going on.
Since Taco keeps mentioning it, and I believe I'm getting a lot of Klez messages too, does anyone here have any suggestins on how to stop these messages from appearing in my inbox?
HttpUnit Is a component that you can use with (or without) the jUnit framework to test your sites. It's basically a library that simulates all of the browser features, and you can automate it to load up web pages and compare the result to some base case.
I've never used it, but it seems like it would probably be pretty helpful.
I read that book based on the previous review on slashdot. It was completely lame. The plot was convoluted, and the science didn't really make any sense. I liked some of the ideas, like that the Iraqis really poisoned America during the gulf war by sending the soldiers back here with some kind of high tech contagious disease, but the way he elaborated it was awful. It seemed like an unfinished product, like he didn't have an editor or something.
People, there's a reason why this book wasn't picked up by a major publisher - it's crap.
Eg: has anyone used Visual Basic? The interface is built around what the language is good at (and the interface is a main reason for its popularity). While the same functionality could have come via a plugin, likely it wouldn't have. Instead, a tool like the form editor would be bundled with the other resources, rather than front and center in coding. This makes coding other types of projects awkward, but they aren't VB's strengths anyway...
Yes, I have used VB extensively, and I disagree with you. When you use VB for a large project you spend most of the time in the code editor, not the form editor. In fact, many VB style guides recommend keeping the quantity of code in the form modules to a bare minimum (ie: just method, procedure or function calls in the event handlers). There's no reason why the same Visual Basic IDE interface couldn't have been developed from a generalized interface.
The reason that the VB IDE is so good is because the developers spent more time on improving the environment than on making the internals of the compiler work better. I haven't used it since VB5, but even then, you could compile the same code 2 times in a row and it would yield two different executable sizes.
I've never used an IDE that I liked aside from VB. The jump to function definition, code completion, and popup argument list features worked better than any other tool I've used. For Java (which is what I use for most programming these days) I like Vim + ctags + ant which is also pretty nice.
My dream IDE (which Eclipse may be able to become) would integrate a database design / er modeling tool, a UML modeling tool, a code editor, build system, database management tool, and version control. You should be able to put the cursor on a text string that's a stored procedure call, and press a keystroke that would bring up a Database window with the text of the stored procedure which you could modify and then replace on the DB server. Then another keystroke would jump you back to the client code where you call the stored procedure.
Today I went to vote in the 42nd Election District in Brooklyn, NY. The line was out the door. It took 45 minutes to complete the voting process. It turns out that the 40 year old voting machines for districts 40 and 42 were out of order, so everyone was filling out paper ballots. Needless to say, while in line, everyone was talking about how we should be able to vote online, or over the phone. It's really annoying, and it makes me feel like someone wants to make it harder for me to vote. All I nkow is that you can pay your taxes online and over the phone, so you should be able to vote the same way. Those voting machines are artifacts and should be moved to a museum where they belong. It's rediculous.

Just don't forget that GNU's not Unix.
I have an asus 1005PE. How do I know whether the connector is compatible without taking my screen out?
