All C++ code compiles cleanly in C++/CLI. C++/CLI is a set of (fairly radical) language extensions and modifications that allow interop with managed code.
I read through that blog, and...wow. That guy is a complete and utter moron. Can't even write a coherent sentence, and stupid as hell when it came to the sting against him too.
Hey, this isn't a dupe. The author painfully took the time, instead of writing a review about what the news was about, to take a dig at IE. I mean, so what if Tiger doesn't ship IE any more anyway. So what if IE5 for the Mac is so old that nobody used it unless they really had to. The point is that if given a news story, you can't be wasting your time summarizing it -- especially summarizing a dupe -- when there's perfectly good cheap shots to be taken.
He also attempted to link Rockstar's Manhunt and the killing of British teen Stefan Pakeerah by his 17-year-old friend, Warren LeBlanc. The courts denied that the game was a factor, seeing as the game was owned by the victim, not the killer. Thompson later told IGN that the British Tabloids fabricated his involvement with the case.
So was Thompson actually involved in the case or no?
Mozz? Look, I call it Mozz when I'm talking too, but when writing there are certain conventions about colloquial usages. Plus, the difference between Mozz and Mozilla is only 3 god damn letters. I mean, I know Zonk isn't the brightest editor around, but editors are supposed to edit things before they're posted, so that they're correct for grammar and spelling and all. If you're going to advertise yourself as a news site, then you can't very well let this kind of crap slide.
You'll be glad to know that, due to the PS3's extensive Wifi capabilities, Sony will be able to install copy protection on every computer in your house the moment the PS3 is powered up. Sony plans to include Linux and OSX exploits for those of you who try to be clever about it. The installed software will cause any computer to crash immediately, which Sony hails as a great technological breakthrough since their last technology, which could only destroy OSX but not Windows or Linux. And as for what happens if you try to copy a Blu-Ray disc...let's just say it's not so much "managed" copy as it is "melted" copy.
Same way you can modprobe something into the kernel under Linux. If you run as an administrator, then the programs that get run can do whatever the hell they want, including patching the kernel tables for syscalls, altering drivers or loading new ones, etc. The only difference is that Linux users generally aren't stupid enough to regularly use the system while logged in as root.
You're right, Konfabulator is a complete rip off of Apple's Dashboard. How dare those douche bags rip off and implement Apple's software years before Apple even get around to adding it to OSX?
In case you didn't get the hint, Konfabulator (now YWE apparently) predates Apple Dashboard. A lot.
I think that might be 1GB of hard drive (or more likely flash memory) storage space. Why would a $100 laptop need a gigabyte of RAM? Besides, that much RAM would by itself consume the entire cost.
"Free software news" ? Where the hell does it say that?
By the way, "hacker culture" is no longer "cool". It's a pathetic group of people who can't come to grips with modern technology and simply scream (well post) from their basement about how the world misuses the world "hacker" and doesn't give their command line the respect it deserves.
The technologies are Microsoft Speech Server and Microsoft Analysis Services. I'll write the extra chapter for you:
CHAPTER 10: Mono Compabitility: None of these technologies or any equivalents are available in Mono. You might be able to hack something together with/dev/speech, and that's about it.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to use.NET for a site that gets 20,000 hits a minute, but you also wouldn't want to use C++ or Perl to integrate Windows-only applications with Active Directory, either.
I've got to ask, what would you use for a site that gets 20K hits a minute? A LAMP setup? PHP would fall over and die. Java servlets would be understandable I suppose...but if your beef is with Windows rather than the.NET platform, then just keep in mind that ASP.NET works fine under Linux/Apache/MySQL.
What if I want to play Dawn of War or C&C instead? I should have the right to play those games, and Microsoft should be forced to put links to those games' websites right beside the starcraft link!

Problem with STL.NET is that their STL implementation isn't done in-house, it belongs to another company called Dinkumware. Dinkumware are quite busy hacking away at the TR1 improvements right now, and having to do STL.NET alongside that would've just slowed down everything.
Intel has been building a 65nm fab and retooling existing fabs for 65nm. 35nm is planned but hasn't actually been done yet. It's unlikely to help much either, because current leakage at those levels is being insane. If you save 40% power by switching to a smaller manufacturing process and lose 35% back to leakage, that leaves you 5% better. With the costs involved in switching process sizes, you would have been better off not switching in the first place. Even past 90nm is getting pretty shaky in terms of leakage. Intel and AMD are both definitely goign to 65nm, but I don't know if there's much of a future for chips beyond that unless somebody comes up with some real ingenious tweak to the crystal structures.
Apart from the slight detail that your code isn't legal C, would you care to pull a real Win32 API example? I don't intend this as a challenge, I'm just honestly curious.

Well the ISO in general is not objecting. It's a handful of UK members who have nothing else to do.

Why can't software be predictably intelligent? Most "intelligent" functions are simply what a human expects to happen based on certain inputs.
