...immortal memory. That would be both good and bad. We would forever despair of our failures.
What is it with people, thinking that failures have to haunt us forever? Failures are how people learn. There are such a things as closure, adaptation, pattern recognition, sublimation, and basic personal growth. You start failing before you're born, when you can't move your arms how you'd like to, can't interpret the images you're seeing, etc. Life is about facing these challenges, overcoming them, and enjoying the progress you've made.
This "...is enough for anybody" comment is referring to an old point of ridicule for Bill Gates. He once said that "640KB should be enough for anybody." (640KB of RAM, that is).
It might be the beginning of a breakthrough, but that remains to be seen. My take is: wait and see.
That's what everyone said last time we discovered this, back in 1925, 1903, and 1871. Somehow, after discovering these molecules, everyone forgets to follow up.
No I didn't. I just haven't heard enough about them to know what they're capable of. Since they're commercial, the failure is in the company's marketing, not me.
We're talking about secure IM solutions for an organisation here. That pretty much rules out everything that doesn't involve running your own private IM server. In other words, you're left with Jabber, and Microsoft's exchange-based balls-up solution. My vote's for jabber.
Historically, things that have been very uninteresting at the time, have been hugely valuable to researchers later on. We may not care about the countless people talking "crap" on bebo right now, but in a few hundred years it might be a different story. When people can easily analyse all those posts for meaningful psychological profiles that aren't currently understood never mind modelled and easily detected, all of that could tell a lot about our society. Even rubbish tips from thousands of years ago are hugely valuable to paleontologists.
This goes more so, for important government records, etc. Peter Quinn did a great job of explaining that, with his Sovereignty talk.
They can do that on any unencrypted protocol, which is the vast majority of them. As for asking users for a list of their files, most clients after the first generation prevent that, afaik.
News flash: Centralisation is a strength of BitTorrent.
What makes you think centralisation is a strength? I liked gnutella just much better for actually finding stuff, except that BT is faster for downloading.
Newsflash: with a decent client that let you ban junk, and enough common sense to see the junk patterns, gnutella was (and still is) very reliable.
Firefox always did have fast javascript, compared to browsers like Konqueror at least. Still, I always found konqueror faster to actually work with. No news here at all really. Especially since Chrome and Konqueror are related.
You need to get your facts straight before criticising things. For one thing, not all religions believe in gods, much less God. For another, quite a few actively encourage trusting life to take its course, rather than worrying about it.
My point is quite the opposite: by the very fact that there is free bandwidth to steal (i.e., oversupply), and yet there is demand for more from other users, it is NOT being managed properly.
Nokia now own the core development team for Qt, as well as owning Symbian, so they're merging the two, and that'll probably be the Qt option for phones. I agree, it seems like a great option. Qt is very nice, especially Qt4+ with webkit and all. If it now has a major phone player behind it as well as being open source (nokia are open sourcing Symbian I think), then all the better.
Given that nuclear power comes from splitting atoms, I think you'd have to be combining atoms to "make" a nuclear battery. You'd be putting in as much energy as the later nuclear fission would give out (including what's lost as heat or light or whatever you don't use), plus some in manufacturing. We're probably not close to exhausting our resources of uranium etc., and fusion might eventually arrive before that happens, so it'd all be a bit pointless at this stage I guess. Definitely worth thinking about though, yeah:)
Slashdot Mirror
At least one ISP sends letters naming the accusor as "a third party monitoring service". So not at all shady then.
Thanks for that rational response ;)
Because windows is an insecure POS that's still only attempting to catch up with unix now (vista), and still failing at it?
"Just works for the majority" is exactly identical to "discriminates against minorities".
We're talking about X. You seem to have wandered onto some other topic. ;)

Don't forget drivers.

Only a few religions have the one-true-world concept. Not all of them have the god concept, either.

"The trouble ain't that there is too many fools.
But that the lightning ain't distributed right."
I think you may have forgot the worst case of this: Star Trek: Enterprise.

Not quite. Actually, until they get due process, they ARE normal; they're called citizens.
Firefox always did have fast javascript, compared to browsers like Konqueror at least. Still, I always found konqueror faster to actually work with. No news here at all really. Especially since Chrome and Konqueror are related.
Repos as in debian-like package management repositories? That would be well overdue. Somehow I think they'll never manage to do that well though.
So the guy who tries to correct the stereotyping is the guy spewing flamebait? Good modding there guys. Well done.
