Not likely, unless twitter's name is Mike Barton and he works for ComputerWorld. As far as the cut-and-paste, it seems both twitter and CWMike cut-and-psted from the same original story, which, big surprise here, comes from ComputerWorld. Imagine that: two different people could possibly have cut-and-pasted from the same article on a website they both read! Amazing!
CWMike -- aka Mike Barton, who works for ComputerWorld -- has been submitting ComputerWorld articles to Slashdot for years.
Get over yourself and give the twitter sock-puppet conspiracy theories a rest, m'kay?
Nice the generic windows diss... My only question is, What of us gamers running win boxes that are rock solid? And have never had anything but a rock solid box? Aside from the odd hardware failures that is...;)
DirectX is a fantastic API that allows developers to effectively bypass some pretty piss-poor Win32 APIs. Games are written for DirectX, not for Windows. The fact is that DirectX runs in other environments, like Xbox and Xbox360. If all you're doing is gaming, then you shouldn't be surprised if your box is 'rock solid.'
Yeah, it reminds of those commercials down here in Florida where the purveyors of hurricane-proofing products tell you that the hurricane season is predicted to be more active than normal. Those guys are always full of....

At present USA is the only country in the world where planes have better Met radar capability and a better idea of what goes on in the atmosphere than ground staff even at some of the major airports.
In many areas of the USA, radar is currently being updated and upgraded. One of the most crucial technologies they are adding is
, which bounces both horizontal and vertical waves simultaneously. Such radars can distinguish between a plane, a flock of birds and rain. Some say they are so accurate, they can actually measure a single drop of rain.
One TV news organization in our area already has one, and all of the NEXRADs that NWS uses are supposed to be replaced by like 2010.
A software project is only as good its documentation. Look at successful open source projects -- many of these have excellent project documentation that tells you all about the architecture, structure, features, coding practices, standards implemented, data formats, data validation information and so forth.
WHat kills so many projects is a lack of good documentation -- if no one can figure out how to pick up the ball and code a feature or a bugfix or whatever, then the code will wither. This applies even to closed source projects -- one of the things that screwed Vista over, for instance is that much legacy code was in need of rewrite -- except there no one new what the code did anymore.
(Disclaimer: IANAC) I don't think that 'love thy neighbor' necessarily means what many think it means. It's more of a statement meaning "don't harm others" or "treat others as you would like to be treated". You know, show a little respect. What comes around, goes around. That sort of thing.
I think virtually all religions have something like this in their tenets.
No, the secret is to run the muthafscka off the fsckin road! If you do that, you'll never have a problem with road rage, because you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that that asshole got exactly what the fsck he deserved! Ha!
This ruling brought to you by the same judge who overturned most of Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's decision in United States v. Microsoft! Completely boneheaded as usual.
They took down the firewall to transfer sensitive data from one server to another?
To transfer data from one server to another, the admins disabled the firewall, then left it disabled, potentially exposing the personal financial details of more than 91,000 patients of at least five hospitals nationwide to anyone who happened by.
And then, they never put it back up! What were these admins smoking? Must've been great!

Thank you! Point made.
A Windows port is currently under way.
Huh. So, uh, think "vampires and zombies invade Star Trek meets Lord of the Rings with a Monte Python twist"
Doubt it, but I think we can get Jerry Mathers.
What about getting shot with an AK-47 for blowing off your horn?
As a matter of fact, I do own the whole road!

That's nothing. I'm still waiting for a smartphone that supports at least 3 flavors of IBM EBCDIC! Now get off of my lawn!
