Its a labeling problem. Agnostics are largely ignored by people of religion and looked down upon by athiests because of their indecision. I'd wager a guess that more people could be labeled as agnostic but no one really knows how many because they just don't care to be included in the religious debate. As an Agnostic person myself, I find that saying "I don't know" to be an extremely rewarding experience and I could see both religious and non-religious people benefiting from saying the same, not to mention politicians but thats another debate.
Exactly. AMD thinks far past what their products do in the current generation. Thats what made AMD 64 sucessfull last generation. You now have 64 bit compatible OSes and programs. They also know that the bottleneck of computers going forward is going to be at the bus and IO level. They addressed this with hypertransport and the onboard memory controller on the opteron and they are continuing to develop enhanced versions of those technologies as we speak. With computing moving towards a multicore architecture, the speed at which data can be processed starts becoming how fast you can get the data to and from the CPU. AMD knows this, lets just hope they get a product out to market fast enough to recover their desktop market that is fleeing to Intel.
If there is one thing you can count on Microsoft for its their marketing department. They decided it would make more sense to sell hardware at a loss with the hope of a recoop than stick with PC gaming. Sure they are doing DX 10 with Vista but its pretty obvious where their energy is going. 6 out of 9 of the latest releases from Microsoft Game Studios are X360 only.
50+ Mbps home bandwdidth saturation will be a reality faster than HD tvs and HD format saturation. Combine that with solid state hard drives and you have the future of content storage and distribution. Owning content on a disk will be a thing of the past. You'll walk into your living room, say you want to watch something, it starts playing on your TV. All of that for a monthly fee that gets added to your phone and internet bill.
The problem of scalability is language independent. You end up finding that your bottleneck is your database where most of the complex logic is happening. The main things that make sites scalable is caching whats on a disk to memory and having lots of disks for when you do hit them. These are the real bottlenecks and will always be because the slowest part of a of a PC, is hard drives.
If we assume most programs are written to make money, rails gives you a faster return on investment by allowing faster development on a problem that is trying to be solved today. This is why rails is good at what it does, it says no to solving everyone's problems and tomorrows problems. If you need to solve a problem that rails doesn't for you already, there is always Ruby to catch you.
Google releases new Gbin technology allowing users to access their recycle bin from anywhere. Hosted on Google's servers, Gbin makes it possible to empty your recycle bin from grandma's PC or on the go with Nokia's new Chuck-It one use disposable phone.
"the Wii will launch with a wide variety of games for may types of gamers."
Sounds like if you play games in any other month besides May you might want to get a 360.
I put my pages through the validator then laugh. My pages can't be valid and function how I want. So if I have a choice I'll make the pages work how I want them to. Its like telling an artist he can only use red and blue colors to paint. What I'd really prefer is for all the browser makers to agree on a standard and follow it. I end up spending 90% of my time with html hacking it up to work in all browsers. I say we just get rid of HTML altogether.
How about a self recycling dam? After the water creates energy going down you push it back up and do it again. Maybe even you can get some engery from moving it up. This is all assuming that you gain more energy than you're losing with this method.
What Radioshack are you talking about? The sales guys at my Radioshack don't know what a computer is but they will be happy to sell me satellite TV and a new cell phone everytime I try to buy a 10 foot usb cable. Bastards.
Bedroom coding would work if games didn't require art, sound, and other creative assets. In terms of game budget and man power, a minority of it is spent in the technical department. This is why game developers license engines. It allows them to focus a majority of their time and resources on designing the game and implementing all the creative assets neccessary.
I fail to see any validity in what you're saying. I spend a good amount of time online gaming and working online. I'm in a clan of about 15 guys and we talk daily. I can easily say I know more about them and they know more about me than any of our friends from high school. I just don't see going to the mall and hanging out as having any, as you say, social virtue.
I also work online with contractors from around the world. I get to hear about their life experiences and how they view the world from where they are. I couldn't get that from my neighbor.
I agree. There are so many things on the internet that just get extensions ontop of them instead of rewrites of the base technology. Why are we even using HTML still?
This would be like taking a home fan and removing cage around the fan blades. That doesn't sound very safe. Maybe this is too simple but why not put some sort of screen or mesh around the turbines? Wind can get through the mesh and the bird might get stuck on the mesh until the wind gust dies down. I'm sure the bird would survive though.
You can get the entire west wing series for less than $200 bucks yet Paramount wants to screw everyone with this crap. Paramount should just sell the TV rights to NBC, let Aaron Sorkin write it, get some West Wingesque actors, and call it Deep Space 10.
I also saw it was in Real Media and quickly closed the window. That combined with the poster's peddling of NPR just made me nauseous. Seriously, they are tax funded and yet we're pushed to order a CD, check out their site, and give them more money. Anyway, enough about NPR. I just hope someone puts out an MP3 of this because the Star Trek cast contains some of the best actors and voice actors in the business.
Slashdot Mirror
Theres video of it on gametrailers.com. Its actually quite interesting as it merges a big boss battle into an entire level.
I wonder if /. editors read their own website. Could be useful, no?
Speaking of which. Isn't Falcon's feature set a copy of Postgres?

You mean Duke Nukem will come with a free copy of Vista? Yeah that sounds right.

This feature set still doesn't make me want to use apache. Lighttpd just rules. Plain and simple.
