the Mach 6 nozzle must be polished to a near-perfect mirror finish, eliminating roughness that would trip the flow
Thank goodness this "mirror" technology is all around us! I've always been an early tech adopter and there's even one on my bathroom wall. It's so smooth (almost has a "mirror finish") that I can actually rub my hand across it without detecting any roughness. It's exciting to know this is the same stuff the U.S. Air Force is using.
certain risk (mislabeling files, creating intentionally corrupt songs)
Same as regular P2P but that's survived and comes in useful.
Drive-by music. Hmmm... I like it. I will put an MP3 on my player that consists of only my voice yelling at the listener to "WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU". See how many paranoid people I can freak out. People would be doing that walking the street, in their car, on their bicycle, on the transit system. It would be great
I RTFA to the point where they started putting restrictions on languages of choice and then I stopped. I don't disagree. I just realize the article applies less to my work than I thought. My software doesn't need that level of perfection early in the process. However as per usual, some good stuff to take away from the article at a general level and apply to work. Of course the general stuff we've all heard before. It's just applying it that's the hard part at times!
I don't despise any company enough to wish this type of patent to be found against them. The patent is basically about synchronizing/moving data in a certain way. Does this mean I can patent the exact pattern of roads that I take to work everyday? If somebody else doesn't want to pay, then they can instead turn left a little futher on.
Interesting response. Sad. I hope someday you can become less embarrassed about your own opinions and share them under a non-anonymous account. Remember, your opinion counts even if you don't think it does. Mods would have likely taken your comment more seriously had you not been "Anonymous Coward". Heck, I could have written that comment myself just for fun... to provide this answer and give people something fun to read.;)
"cutting down costs" heh. More than likely Overpeer was tired of getting anonymous letters from the RIAA bots threatening to sue their asses off, even though they were on the same side.
The last time I tried it my pasty white geek skin got burned to a crisp. Of course I was in so much pain I forgot I was depressed so it kind of worked.
If you're assuming the fossils we entitiled "hominid" are a true mixture of the two species. Pages such as this try to explain. Bones are good to look at. Today our world is much smaller because of technology. In today's world living evidence of the intermediate form does not exist. Most often people assume science refutes creationism and vice-versa; not true. Our world is complex enough that science has not been able to explain a lot (yet), has barely scratched the surface of figuring out many topics and yet we're willing to fight over sometimes pitiful pieces of evidence -- that goes for both sides. People in the evolution camp can get so emotionally attached to their belief system based on the facts they see, that they will defend those facts to the upmost, not considering any other explanation, even alternate explanations that science could feasibly come up with. Same for creationism. Mostly, it's unfortunate the perception that creationism is the opposite of science; unfortunately that perception ignores scientific method that goes into explaining creationism. Of course people can pick out many lunatic opinions from creationism and explain "therefore" all of creationism should be debunked; of course the same goes for evolution.
I left my garden hose turned on -- the knob broke and I cannot turn it off. My lawn is growing squishier at an unknown rate but the squishiness is definitely increasing. In millions of years it may be enough to form the start of an ocean. During my lifetime I think I can get away with rubber boots, but future generations will need hip waders.
I think that's a great idea too. However I'm under impression there's a larger issue at stake which may affect more than just the IE ActiveX technology. Eolas stands to "adversely" affect other technologies with a court ruling in its favour. I'm not commenting on who is right or wrong. I don't have enough info. Maybe somebody else could comment futher on what else might be a stake besides Microsoft's ActiveX technology...
I think the real question is, how do you keep your game from getting into the hands of the fraction of the population that suffers from mental illness. Millions of teens play the game and don't want to kill themselves re-enacting a scene. It's not about the software company. It's about the player. I assume this kid would have eventually found some other way of escapism to do himself in with. Didn't the parents realize by the kid's behaviour that something odd was up *before* he killed himself?
so that any developer can jump into any part of a project and be able to figure out what's going on, without wasting a couple hours just to figure out the code
From my limited experience, if they don't have to jump into the code to figure it out, they have to instead jump into the documemtation and correlate it with the code. It's time consuming in another way. At least the programmer doesn't have to re-learn so many things, and can instead focus on the more high level stuff faster.
The more coding standards you have, the more time consuming coding can potentially become. For example, for vertical apps, the more structured (or layered) the app is, the more understandable it is, but it takes longer than normal to code through the layers even after you understand it (compared to not having all the layers and structure in place). Layers tend to make everything within them look similar, more often than not, because each layer has a more specific purpose -- that's good. However when you run into limitations of the many layers, you have a lot more planning to do create a solution that's efficient AND still uses the layers properly. At this point you normally want to start taking shortcuts, but that just starts eating away at the original foundations.
A library of common data structures is good. E.g..NET strongly-typed data sets in the data layer. Or maybe the Microsoft Enterprise Library for some pre-made, commonly-used enterprise class patterns that you can extend and use. This means developers don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Of course my story is not done yet, so time will tell the outcome of the coding standards pool I find myself swimming in right now...
nearly a 60% fatality rate | The most cases and deaths have been reported in Vietnam, 41 deaths out of the total of 62.
I'm under the impression that your average Asian person is healthier than your average westerner (diet, excercise, etc). So that number makes me ask "Why?"; any insight from anybody on that one?
I've been to the casino, I've been to the horse track. I always lose! If I have to roll dice for a 60% chance I'm screwed!
Indeed, many er... slightly informed opinions on the antigravity patent topic available over here at Fark. Is this a good idea to cross-link Fark and Slashdot?... maybe not, and then again maybe through this action I have begun the ultimate demise of Slashdot. See your doom before your eyes. Muhahahahaahahha

C'mon man, I was going for three in a row. Oh well, can't win them all.

1000001. Profit !
You're absolutely right. Money isn't the most important thing in life ... but it's sure WAY ahead of whatever's in first place!
Sorry about that. I still feel bad. Amazing how rough flame wars can become.
JAXA and a web ... way to confuse a techie!
By Google widgets, did you mean the Google Desktop thingy? If there's another set of widgets, I wouldn't mind a link from somebody. Thanks.

I do appreciate your sarcasm. It made me laugh.

Awesome. I want one.
Now all Cray has to do is sue Microsoft because the guy is bringing over trade secrets.

Why should Sony expect us to respect their EULAs when they disrespect consumers by secretly installing root kits on unknowning user's computers!
