I know there are more, but Django's what I'm familiar with:). I don't know about the assumptions, I haven't noticed any, but then again, I have nothing to compare it to...
I was wondering if anyone has used both RoR and Django. Having only used the latter myself, I am a bit curious on how they compare. Can anyone fill me in on that?

The "AJAX" name sounds great, but allow me to propose a few alternate spellings that I find more accurate:
AJACX: Asynchronous JavaScript, CSS and XMLHttpRequest
ADJACS: Asynchronous DOM, JavaScript and CSS
ADHJACS: Asynchronous DOM, HTML, JavaScript and CSS
AJAHCS: Asynchronous JavaScript, HTML and CSS
AJACS: Asynchronous JavaScript, HTML and CSS
"GNU/AJAX"?:P
Using a lightgun (or the Wiimote) is indeed much more tiring than using a mouse, especially if you're standing up. Our bodies weren't meant to hold things in front of us for extended periods of time, and I imagine you couldn't play this game without taking frequent breaks (which might be good for RSI but aren't very good for immersion).
Otherwise, I think this is a great idea and would love to swordfight some dude in a game.
Why are people so upset about this? I think that protection is good for controversial pages, if a majority of the Wikipedia community (the people who edit/take care of it actively) agrees that it's mostly balanced and true. It's not like they are banning changes on all of wikipedia, they just want people to wait a bit before editing or not being able to edit controversial pages.
Remember what happens when a page gets linked to slashdot, it takes all of 3 seconds for the picture to change to penes.
Most commercials here in Greece are so clever and well-made that you actually switch channels hoping to catch some of them. Their only downside is that everyone remembers the commercial but noone knows what product it's for, except maybe that it's for icecream or a phone company or something. So something for the advertisers to consider is tying the product with the ad, so it's memorable.
I don't know about you, but I am not at all excited by this. When DVD came out I couldn't wait for writers to come out so I could get one, but if we're going to be in the middle of a format war I don't even want a player. I think sales are going to be somewhat less than satisfactory.
One field where I think patents REALLY hinder innovation is wavelet compression. Have you seen the difference in size/quality between JPEG and JPEG2000? It's amazing. Last I heard, Xiph was going to make an audio format using wavelets as well, and nobody is willing to touch the damn thing because of all the patents on it.:(
I resent that. Why is it that every time a woman convinces a man to do something (against which he might not even have had strong feelings) she's controlling him? You know, it's entirely possible that Bill wasn't too averse to the idea of donating some of his money to charity, and his wife might have just given him that nudge.
Yeah, seriously. Who is going to use this? If you want to see the stars, just get out. If you want to see many stars, just go for a drive to a nice quiet place outdoors, it is really relaxing. What's the use of projecting stars to your ceiling? You might as well get a disco ball and shine some light on it.
I had never thought of that. I just assumed that it's within a company's power to give people updates to ensure they've paid for the software, but come to think of it, the ones who have paid for it shouldn't have to put up with anything they don't want to, and the ones that haven't, well, they're probably not going to.
Does CAcert even check the validity of your site? I don't mean that the others do or that they're better, but I don't think that this is any better than a self-signed certificate, since anyone can get a certificate automatically.
I am thinking about buying an iPod because of the following reasons:
1) Great interface: I hate my MuVo with its previous-next buttons, it takes me an hour to find the song I want, with the wheel I don't even need to categories the MP3s into folders any more. 2) Ubiquity: Since everyone and their dog has an iPod, people are making stuff run on it. What other portable player runs wikipedia and linux? 3) Video: It plays video, which is great when you want something more than listening to music, so you can maybe watch an episode of a show or a movie.
The battery issues are holding me back (3 hours of battery when playing video:( ) and the fact that the next generation of iPod might be around the corner, and better.
Yes, but the Cell is designed to process data in independent packages which are scheduled and sent to processors by the central unit, it's not a traditional multiprocessor system. Hmm, I guess that from the specs the processors could be communicating via the network instead of just buses as well, which would make what you say correct. I guess we should wait and see.
Doesn't the Cell's design mean that it can very easily scale up, without requiring any changes in the software? Just add more computing CPUs (SPEs they are called, I think?) and the Cell runs faster without changing your software.
I'm not entirely sure of this, can someone corroborate/disprove?

how can using a unique fingerprint for identification be riskier to theft than a plastic card, key chain token, or account number?
Because you leave them on everything you touch?
Everyone knows that Intel and Microsoft have never invalidated a system already in use.
:P
They just wait a few hours for it to crash first
I'm writing a processor in RoR, wanna cooperate? :P

Maybe we just have no data for years before that.
Why does this have to be a Firefox extension? Why can't I just use Skype (or at least make it standalone)?
I use Opera, damnit!

What part(s) of my resume should I brush up when applying for the job of "master villian and arch-nemisis of WonderTorvalds?"
:P
Spelling, probably
