Somehow Americans will use this situation as an excuse to make fun of the French. E.g. laugh at socialist policies, call the French cowards for any attempt at appeasement etc., even though the French are frikkin deporting people.
Windmills are not really "Man's best hope for energy". When is there the most wind? Spring and fall. When are energy needs the highest? Summer and winter. Besides this they are not very powerfull (large number needed to power a city), kill loads of migrating birds (strange/macabre but true), and the weather is not exactly something stable enough to build your energy grid on. Oh yeah: it can be cloudy and windless.
I see much more potential in wave-energy; which probably hasn't taken off yet because one practice experiment in Norway got 'blown off' after a violent storm wrecked it, and because it isn't in the public eye much.
So you're basically saying you understand everything unless the person saying it is a moron?
So..you instantly grasp quantum physics papers too eh? Or are they 'not putting an effort into their communication' if you don't?
Well it will be interesting: one chip at 1 GHz on 300 milliwatts, vs 1 dualcore 2 GHz at 13 watts. I'm assuming the arm processor can be used for SMP as well. Any chance any of these will be used for laptops (running Linux/BSD)?
They won't regret moving away. This startup is aimed at embedded chips, not desktops. Furthermore, Apple hasn't completely *abandonned* Power just yet. And it's not like Apple can base it's productline on a small start up with no real guarantees it can meet Apple's demands.
The first worms were thought experiments on breaching computer security put into practice by Fred Cohen. You're confused with 'Animal' though. Scroll down to 2 thirds for a bit of backstory on that.
What people outside of the Netherlands (and inside as well!) fail to realise is that child protection in the Netherlands is still in the stone ages. Sure, we have enough people looking after children, but the problem is that they're spread in 25+ different organisations! So the problem is not people not doing their job, it's people being unable to do their job effectively in the framework they're put in.
It's really no surprise to see agencies losing children. I remember seeing a documentary about a certain city in the US, I forgot which, where they had an experiment running integrating all the agencies involved. Every morning, a local child-cop, someone for the medical branch (hospitals see a lot of broken arms of children and certain types of bruises), someone for child-care in general, someone for social welfare etc. all come together in a meeting, and discuss what they've noticed recently. Then they see if other agencies know more about the specific case.
Compare this to Holland, where the justice department finds out in their ante-delictum investigation that someone at the hospital noticed some weird lacerations when the child came in once, and that a local cop (Dutch have a unique concept called district cop) had heard rumors, but noone every communicated this to others.
There was one time an effort at the local level of government to experiment with the above-mentioned systm of regular gatherings of representatives of all child-protection involved agencies. All involved agencies thought it was a good idea, but none of the specialised and splintered agencies wanted to cede part of their funding to another new agency for that. So it never happened.
The best thing that could've happened was intervention from above local level (provincial or national) to start such a project in one region first, then nationally afterwards. But that wasn't likely to happen given the current political situation (the only attention being given to child-protection being incidental, which is called the 'Nova-effect' here in Holland, named after the primetime news show Nova, because every time Nova discusses some issue in-depth, politicians suddenly pay attention to that issue).
So instead we got the second-best thing: a national database that keeps track of incidence-records. Yes, that means someone actually paying attention to bad stuff happening to children. That some of the Slashdot crowd instantly fling about nazi-references I find very disturbing..and yet telling.
I upgrade a 'fringe OS' to a 'niche OS' as soon as it has Doom and Quake 2 running. For example Amiga, BeOS, RiscOS, Menuet, all niche OSes. Plan 9 would be a fringe OS.
And in the end, the article comes down to: people at MS don't recognize the the battle cry, people at Lotus never experienced anything like it, and noone else has heard the battlecry anyway.
This takes focus away from the fact that MS did in fact arbitrarily break compatibility with OS/2. 3.11 for example. I believe IBM later won in court about that.

It's interesting you point out socialist labor laws as the source of all evil. I'm guessing you're not from the east side of the Atlantic.
May I also point out noone ever goes 'postal' in Europe, and that besides this, there's such a thing as an evaluation period.
Yes, opinions are always harmless, aren't they?
I can only make sense of your post if I combine it with 10 tons of flax.
I see a potentially very fruitful combination ;-)
Here in Holland as well. I do have my doubts about any added value if any.

Remember William Sidid!
But Starcraft runs under WINE, so there's no reason not to switch to Linux!
The combination of Realalternative and that particular ram file doesn't seem to work on my computer.

*How about (sorry)
How Doom as a Sys admin tool?
Bwahahahahaha.

This article says it's 13 watts, with 25 watts at peak. A little early start on the number juggling eh?

And in Soviet Russia, cyberattacks mock you!

Dangit, where's text-mode Quake 3 Arena? :P

Oh wait, that's right, BeOS lost the OS wars. -_-

Does ANYONE have a newer benchmark comparing scalability of the n*xes? All google ever gives me is that same benchmark.
