The only reason two of them received positions is because there were only two positions available. Had there been three, then three of them would have been in the headlines. I feel for the ones that didn't get hired. There were so many "good" candidates.

Not only did he not get the questions wrong he doesn't realize calculating how much money you earn per hour is important. if that is the case, cut his pay. He obviously doesn't have the math skills needed to detect it.
DNSCrypt will stop DNS replay, observation, and timing attacks, as well as Man-in-the-Middle attacks and resolver impersonation attacks.
This will be great for people that don't have ISPs actively redirecting DNS traffic to their specific servers so they can sniff it, Warner, Comcast et el.
They would have to write their Java application with a stand alone graphics back end or build it on top of a minimalistic Window Manager; but, this is the closest answer I've seen. If the developers are Java centric something like ewm could work.
How does using OpenGL, so you don't have to tweak in assembly so things are portable to anything running the library, needing to be rewritten for a different arch? I just don't get these responses. The whole point of the vast majority of Google's code is so it is recompiled to bytecode to the device running your applications. If your spending a lot of time writing code to run fast on an arch somebody, me apparently, is missing something. There is even a JVM to AVM2 bytecode interpreter. http://code.google.com/p/j2avm/
How ironic. Snarking someone for mentioning that the majority of phone games are written to the API then mentioning a language that helps developers avoid writing to the metal. Cudos for the snarks btw. They were really good up to the point of the GLSL snafu.
My memory is of people wanting me to build 10 PCs for the cost of buying 3 macs. True I was basically a cheap hardware whore; but the fact remains, it was significantly cheaper to build then buy. Add to that the way free copies of DOS popped up out of nowhere. It was if Microsoft was making the OS as available as possible so people would buy software made for it instead of their competitors. wink wink nudge nudge.
This reminded me of a post regarding thoughts on Yellow Dog Linux being ported to velocity's stuff. It made me wonder if a more X11 friendly version of Linux could be ported to another inexpensive tablet running MIPS. Maybe more tablets like these will help make that happen. I'm getting to like the idea of running a phone inside Xnest.

LOL. Yeah. I was hoping the haters would throw away some mod points on me with -1 off-topic to take away some heat. Humor on /. gets little love.
Interesting reply. What do you think of x264?
lmao
a trauma center and needs to be able to respond rapidly
And we all know verifying insurance without a computer slows down medical procedures.

I'm going to have to disagree. It has been my experience that there are ALWAYS multiple choices in engineering. :P

Britney Spears got mentioned on /. because of her voice?
What is wrong with just using Theora?
It is probably for the best. In today's climate she could potentially get sued for infringing on a method used in her research.

Wait, doesn't TOR encrypt your DNS requests?
No.
I mean... reverse domain name lookups exist.
Assuming the admin wasn't too lazy to set it up. :)
or we leave our country in favor of a land that offers more freedom and opportunity
See. There IS a benefit to living in a trailer.

he still thinks Internet video will dominate in the coming years
It will dominate in the coming years. Right after the media companies control the majority market share of all ISPs.
How does a geeky pimple faced youngster living in his mother's basement get laid? I'm just kidding. I'm not young.

Don't they have to rename it too?
This makes it more possible that humans could reasonably fly to Mars land there and be fully functional even after the lengthy journey.
Drugs or no drugs your arms would be pretty tired.

Phone games are not exactly built to run on a specific hardware arch like in the PC world. Most are just Java/Flash applets.
