I guess the next time Microsoft sues somebody for piracy the defendant should offer to settle for $3. Heck, throw in another couple of bucks for pain and suffering.
I've already warned about this. Nobody will invest in new infrastructure in the US because the investors know the US is facing an epic economic decline, or even collapse, in the near future. We've reached peak bandwidth in the US.
...so there is an assertion that the putative proof is flawed. How many of you read the proof and can verify that the assertion is correct? Accusing the proof reviewers of laxity seems kind of hypocritical.
You must play most of your games on a console. Bioshock is just as consolized vs. its predecessors as Thief: Deadly Shadows (and Deus Ex: Invisible War). Inventory control (or the complete lack thereof) is the most obvious symptom of this malaise.
I can only imagine that you think Halo is the ne plus ultra of first person shooters.
Bioshock suffered from the shoehorning of System Shock 2's space station theme into an Art Deco environment. How do you explain IFF rocket-launching turrets? Even Thief 2's addition of turrets and robots (the exact same model as used in SS2 but reskinned, apparently) seems less implausible. They should have ditched the unlikely parts and tried some originality. Even the essential character of the two antagonists is the same: the corrupt collectivist Many/Fontaine vs. the arrogant individualist Shodan/Ryan.
VMs are just an excuse to keep running the same shoddy software forever. As for arguments that they help protect against crashes and the like, well, that's because you have shoddy software. Arguments that they let you run multiple environments, well, same story. You could have been paid as a software developer to rewrite crapware for the modern age, but instead all of you just cream your jeans for VMs that steal the livelihood of software developers. Dunces, all!
They just need to buy some cheap Soviet surplus night vision goggles and check out the theater once or twice during the show. I guess that would make too much sense. American stupidity is invading Canada, apparently.
Considering how much the American taxpayers have spent bailing out these losers (while the execs rake in hundreds of millions), they ought to be nationalized already.
Part of the problem is that Windows was originally a cooperative multitasking environment (like MacOS). When they added real threading (in Windows 95, I think), each application was still single threaded, which meant having the GUI and underlying processing on the same thread, making responsiveness sucky. They never bothered making the OS interface (Explorer) multithreaded, which is why on XP you can still crash Explorer and thus your entire desktop (although Explorer restarts after a few seconds).
My experiences with Linux show it suffers big time from process hogs, especially IO process hogs, such as when you copy large directories, even with the low-latency desktop kernel options enabled, so don't think it's just a Windows problem.
You shouldn't base your optimization decisions on the inadequacies of related technologies. You should fix the other stuff. Personally, I don't see any reason to use fixed-width except that our freakin' teletype-emulating terminals would need an updated protocol to handle it, and we all know that UNIX and friends think that VT100 is the end-all of user interfaces.
It's interesting, but it isn't anything like "programming languages" or computers or anything of the sort, despite the breathless comparisons by proponents. It's no more sophisticated than a slotted cam, just slightly harder to conceptualize.

The bigger issue is finding someone willing and able to program in PL/I.
...time to export some more democracy!

This is why software/content as a service is bollocks.
Mensa accepts a 1250 on SAT scores from when I took it? Geez, they let just anyone in, don't they?
So, if they abdicate common carrier status, that means I can sue them for all these felonious scam emails I keep getting. Sweet.

...they patented NOT clicking.
That a McCarthy quote (s/terrorist/Communist/)?
Cue apologists who think it's moral to screw over the stupid/uninformed because you can make a buck doing it.

I'd say a bigger deal is your pretentious use of kibibytes (KiB).

Finally, something to make the OLPC useful.

Core 2 is smoking AMD and they are panicking. Do they even have a real next gen architecture, aside from bizarre (albeit intriguing) CPU/GPU hybrids?
You trust the police far too much. They ARE government employees, after all, with all the eliteness and objectivity that that implies.
The police shouldn't. But increasingly they do.
Yeah, and MS Write is the number one word processor if you go by number of installs.
