Why do we have dual cores? Everybody's admitted they are going to be prohibitively expensive, so is it just for show? Let's see some AFFORDABLE dual cores before we start heralding them as the future of processors.
I'm going to repeat something that got lost in the mindless drivel many of you posted. I posted this but I don't think many of you bothered to read it, even though it was the second post 3rd post in this thread.
"Um, I guess I wasn't clear, I was talking about ipod shuffles. I thought that was clear, maybe not though. I like the microdrive ipods, my sis has one, I wanted one before. The microdrive ipods have one thing above all other microdrive mp3 players, the interface, that's something I've said so many times, but anyways, I was talking about ipod shuffles, where you can't even see what you're scrolling through."

They didn't say microdrive players suck, but the page IS about flash players. About the display thing, I wholeheartedly agree, I think people assume any ipod is "teh coolness", but I'd rather buy a flash player with a display and fm tuner for the same price as an ipod shuffle, I think apple manages to confuse a decent amount of people, and the apple fanatics, well, they'll buy anything apple.
If you're going to fund an anti-linux group, at least use your considerable assets, employees and financial, to make sure that people don't realize it's you. I mean come on MS, stop being so goddamn lazy, put some effort in to your work! The next time I expect to see ADIT on slashdot is when they expose a 15 page paper trail through 20 dummy corporations through which you've send them money.
They need to send this baby over the to the disaster area that is my room. First mission: Pick up my underwear and clothes that need washing. It'll probably break down under that kind of stress though.
Sales of tablet PCs are sliding downwards, let's stop focussing on a hybrid of PDAs and laptops that nobody wants, and focus on getting 2 120 gig hard drives, and x800s in laptops, and getting microdrives and better-than-VGA screens in PDAs and standardize CIR in PDAs. Hybrids share some of the benefits of both technologies, but are really just watered down versions of both. I guess I just don't see the use, I can understand some situations, an engineer or whatever, but how well would autocad or something similar run on this boy anyways?
If this was MS, people would be flaming the four corners of the world demanding to know how MS could have let a patched release be circumvented within a day of it's release! So, apple is secure, eh? I think not!
Get yourself a 64-bit P4, and get the coolest and only 64-bit radiator in existence!
J/k, these things send idle commands now, but still, not comparable to cool'n'quiet, though I imagine this'll improve when the current generation of mobile processors replace the current generation of desktop processors sometime within the next 2 years, good power savings.
FileReader fr = new FileReader("mydata.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
It's more like that, and then you have to implement some kind of exception check. Nice try.
I already ditched java a long time ago. After trying some.net, settled on python, who wants to write 10 lines of code, and have to pass through 2 layers of variables to open a file?
Python: open(filename,r/w,0)
Java: JSKALDAHSJKDHLSA;
ASDJH(ASLDHJKLASH);
ASJHDJAKSHDJHASD();
REALLYLONGBUFFERNAME();
No more having to write terrible wrappers and using command lines invisibly to manipulate external programs. I hope everybody takes advantage of this, this was one of the main reasons that I turned to python to simplify things. Maybe I'll switch back from scripting to programming if it turns out to be easy and useful. Maybe people will stop switching to scripting languages.
I'm not surprised, the quality was so so, and wasn't all that fulfilling. It's a good idea, release a dumbed down version, people will see it's good, and find it's worth tuning in to when it actually airs. Good job BBC.

We really don't need to see the hideous nerds that we are!
