With the new 7-series chipset family, consisting of the 790FX, 790X and 770, AMD is simultaneously unveiling the Spider platform. Up to four graphics cards can be set up as a Crossfire X configuration using the new 790FX chipset. Four graphics cards! Now that sounds like a gamer's wet dream. These days, CPU performance is not nearly as important as GPU performance. Four GPUs, running in parallel, with the right level of support in DirectX and OpenGL and you can just imagine those FPS! That's the real news of interest in this article, IMHO.
Presumably he/she is American, in which case the answer is probably no. A lot of them also seem to have trouble distinguishing London from England. Don't be ridiculous! Everyone over here knows that London is in France!
You mean just like how I inadvertently stopped buying the music industry's products? How I inadvertently voted with my dollars, thus them to stick their product where the Sun don't shine?
Maybe that 'inadvertently' had an impact on this guy's statements?
Seriously, that's a real testament to the power of positive thought, or, more accurately, the power of negative thought and how not having negative thoughts don't allow them to have power over you. It's also inspiring in that she overcame the odds. A bit of a bummer that she'd just throw in the towel if she had to do it again.
And, you're not the only guy on Slashdot with a wife. I've been married for over about 2.5 years now. It's not all it's cra....Hi, Honey! No, just posting on Slashdot. Oh, she says to say married life is wonderful!
Another nitpick: Share_holders_ were not actually damaged at all. Share options were given out, but not accounted for in the correct way. That means that paper profits were too high. This was later adjusted down by $84 million. However, the actual profit was not changed at all, just the reported profit. I never said shareholders were, I said Apple was, but only on paper.
Minor nitpick: Apple didn't pay a fine they 'took a charge', which is an accounting adjustment. It still hurt them on paper to the tune of $84 million, but it's not exactly the same thing.
But, yeah...that's pretty much correct otherwise. In order to sue for damages, you actually have to, you know, show and prove actual damages. Duh. What kind of lawyer did these idiots hire anyway?
I knew that riff sounded like "I wanna new drug", but I always told myself, "Nah, must be your imagination. If that were true, Huey Lewis would sue the pants off of Ray Parker, Jr." Guess it turns out that he did! Ha!
Ya gotta trick Microsoft's compiler into doing what you want (as opposed to just passing parameters to gcc) I didn't pass ANY parameters to gcc when I compiled that Hello World. I suppose if I threw in a -O3...... here lemme check...

Hmph. These days a "hello world" executable can run 1.7 MB. Maybe in YOUR world. #include <stdio.h> int main() {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return(0); }
compiled with gcc 3.4: -rwxrwxr-x 1 me users 6788 Nov 15 16:50 hello
So, then, I presume, given all of the random bits used to generate the ciphertext, generating the plaintext from the ciphertext without the key is a relatively simple matter, or can you come up with the key easily enough given the random numbers used to generate it, or... ?
I'm no expert in cryptography (obviously), but it seems to me from what I've read that even if you have the random numbers used, it's still nontrivial to generate the plaintext from the ciphertext, or am I completely offbase on this? 'Cause it would seem to me that most cryptosystems are relying on relatively cheap PRNGs that simply aren't truly random and that's why NIST commissioned the contest in the first place.
That's just like how Sony puts Blu-Ray drives in some of its Vaio laptops even though the max screen resolution is something like 1440x900. Am I missing something here? Yes. 1440x900 is sufficient for 720p resolution.
Is what is essentially a random number generator really an 'encryption' standard? And if it's really a backdoor, don't you still need to know rather quite a bit more than the random number seeds to break something like AES or RSA?
Could the Russians have a great state? Absolutely... but not with the KGB still distributively in power. Hmph. Does any of this sound the least bit familiar? The state spying on citizens, elected (and other government) officials using the power of the state against their political enemies?
Maybe I've heard this happening in other countries. Like, oh, say one on the other side of the Atlantic.
Well, that's different. malloc() and realloc() can and do fail.
Then again, I first learned C programming on the MS-DOS platform, where malloc() and realloc() might not only fail, but with no virtual memory support and being limited to 640K of RAM, were often likely to fail, so I just got in the habit of checking such things.

Introducing the new 007 Martini Phone! I prefer mine shaken, not stirred!
Or maybe it's how I just inadvertently left out the world 'telling', between 'thus' and 'them'?
Nah. I doubt it.

MOD PARENT UP! Best. Slashdot. Post. EVAR!!

Almost 5k.

almost 7k.

Oh, yeah, and presuming there's an HDMI-compliant DVI port on the back, you could always plug the thing into an external flat planel.

Correct link. My bad

Uh, mods and everyone else: I am NOT trolling. I'm an American.
Why not just use a diskless workstation, with the master image sitting on the SAN, locked down and mounted readonly?
Maybe I've heard this happening in other countries. Like, oh, say one on the other side of the Atlantic.
What does free disk space have to do with a printf() or fprintf() to stdout or stderr?
