How the hell did this get modded funny? The only non-blatenly-sarcastic statement the parent made is wrong. C# has been implemented on several platforms.
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of audio in this country. Stereo was the system to own. Then the other guy came out with an 6 speaker system. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called 5.1 surround. That's five speakers and a subwoofer. For Bass. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened - the bastards went to 8 speakers. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling five speakers and a subwoofer. Surround sound or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to 14 speakers.

And implementing RAID-0 isn't wasting money for gaming? C'mon, now, does gaming really cause so much disk I/O that a RAID-0 will make a difference? Sounds like this guy could have built a pretty decent gaming machine for a lot less.

and shit.
Individual companies can't get away with shipping jobs to India due to the offshoring stigma, so what do they do? They hire consulting firms like IBM who basically do the dirty work for them. Problem solved; good cheap labor at a fraction of the cost without it being a PR nightmare because technically the company isn't offshoring. I've seen this happening more and more. Kind of scary.
Apparently the latest version of Trillian will highlight words with links to their definition in Wikipedia. So as you chat with your friends, you become a living breathing dictionary. That's a rather nice feature for IM conversations.
Having an SSN doesn't give you the keys to the kingdom. Most places still require more than just an SSN to do anything i.e. Mothers maiden name, last tax return amount, etc... This other information could in theory compose the private key your talking about.
Having said that, I think they do need safeguards in place to detect fraud, and to encrypt the fricking backups and sensitive data for god's sake. If you make the data at least somewhat difficult to get, it will deter most criminals.
The article says that investigators said they discovered notebooks with more than 36-thousand handwritten entries of boys' names and codes of suspected sex acts.
And if i didn't clarify in my earlier post, the point i was trying to make is that he is a convicted molester who didn't register. And that's why he never showed up.
The sad thing is those are just the registered sex offenders that Megan's law covers. A pedophile in in CA just got busted for child molestation and it turns out he had molested some 30,000 kids. The reason he was able to avoid detection was because he moved around alot and never registered.
Dvorak seemed to have an axe to grind w/ MVP Chris Boyd about associating BT w/ spyware. I looked at the referenced blog post and I couldn't find where Boyd was implying that Bittorent is spyware.
Boyd was just be saying that bitorrent was used as a vehicle to transport spyware, not that BT was spyware.
Oh and by the way, the research paper was jsut that, a paper, when has it been touted as anything more. It had some good points in my opinion such as the fix to the missing piece problem, or last piece problem which BT suffers from.
If anyone is spreading FUD its Dvorak.
He invented Bittorrent, and his biggest problem is this "research" is based on massive misunderstandings of how Bittorrent actually works.
I saw that he had a problem with the misrepresentation on the "tit for tat" thing that was in 1.0 but not in 4.0. But it would have been nice to see Brahm address the biggest potential draw to avalanche, which is that is solves the missing piece problem. I didn't see Brahm say a damn thing about that. He just got hung up on some minor issue IMO.
Maybe I'm missing the point of your post but all those products have been actuated. And last time I checked theres a lot of smart people at MS who are hell bent on crushing competition, maybe a little too much so.
As for tests, how many people have had McDonald's pizza?
Yeah, I remember the pizza, more recently I'm thinking of the deli style sandwiches at McDonalds, which have been here for a year and the Wing Street division of Pizza Hut. I'm not sure if they've spun those off nationally yet though.
I live in Columbus, Ohio and it is essentially used as a test market for a lot of different products. Many times when companies want to test out new products, well see it here first. New Soda's, resturaunts, fast foods, etc... I think it has to do with the demographic running parellel with the rest of the country. Anyways, theres a micro center here, and its pretty good. The staff is usually pretty intelliget. Most employees are typically comp sci students or generally tech smart people wanting to get into the industry. Sounds like a good idea, if it can succeed in Columbus, its got a pretty good shot nationally.
Or say getting us the hell out of Iraq, or attempting to make amends with the rest of the world. Or how about they stop passing through Bush's douchebag appointees. Hell, I'd even settle for stem cell research.

Lets remember that Microsoft created the XMLHTTP objects that AJAX is built on.
Ok, resume bashing.

Im guessing my attempt at humor was lost, or maybe wasn't obvious enough :\
If I recall correctly, Moore's law only applies to Silicon Based machines. Supercomputers typically arent silicon based.
How can this be? I thought it was running at 2+ Terraflops. Didn't anyone watch E3?
