Isn't one of Parrot's features a more efficient way of handling lists of arbitrary objects. I hope they get all this done in time to still be relavent.
The Release Candidates are only for those who need to be ready for the service pack on the day it arrives. This lets you test with the prerelease version so you are almost ready when the real thing is released.
Release candidates are often a pain in the butt to uninstall - and they usually need to be uninstalled completely to install the actual released software. I'd wait for the actual RTM SP1 unless you like rebuilding your system.
I'm pretty sure Power Shell was ment to address this. You can access all the same GUI methods and attributes through PS scripts. The party line is that now you can script any thing you could do with the GUI.
The right SQL injection attack and the Game RDMS is all yours. But I'm sure that they have an Iron clad website and nothing like that could ever happen.
A slide rule gets you 3-4 digits faster than a calculator. You have to know how to use it.
I was in the last class in my high school that learned how to use a slide rule. I was in the first class in my college where owning a scientific calculator was required for entry.
As a freshman my Econ professor asked the class if anyone with a calculator would do a division for him. I was carrying an inexpensive plastic slide rule in my back pack. I did the division and said the answer. As he turned to thank me he did a double take and said "What is this?" taking the slide rule from me and holding it up. I said "Its new, a solar powered calculator that never needs batteries." "What will they think of next?" he pretended to marvel.
The point of that whole story is that about 15 people probably had pulled out a calculator and started to do the division and I was able to beat all of them by several seconds.
Great, so instead of electricity, we're burning more fossil fuels. This is progress?
It is more efficient than burning coal/oil/natural gas to produce heat, converting that heat to electricity, transmitting that electricity for several miles, and converting it back to heat. However you are correct - there is no dryer that is anywhere near as efficient as a clothes line.
Not unless you live somewhere relatively isolated. Urban-dwellers and most rural people can get a very cheap grid connection, or at least by comparison with the few who are forced to go off-grid.
I know what I payed for a PV array from Real Goods. And I know what several of my friends payed to bring a power line from the edge of their property to their houses. I was able to get a PV array, batteries, and an inverter for a lot less.
I did have to fuss with batteries but I didn't have trees falling into the power lines causing outages. Overall I thought I had a less stressful power situation. On the other hand in the winter, when you only have so much power (this was Fairbanks AK), you really have to think about the electricity you use.
"The Grid" is highly subsidized. If people had to pay the full capitol costs of bringing the Grid to their property up front they would find many situations where solar arrays on the house was the cheaper option. It's also pretty easy to save most of the electricity we use:
- efficient lighting - 12v brushless dc motors in appliances - use gas to heat stove, dryer, water heater
You can buy a nice solar array for the actual cost (not the subsidized cost) of bringing residential electric onto your property to the meter base and on into the breaker panel.
You're not far from the truth here. Large corporations already pay M$ to run their IT for them because M$ figured out how to run a large enterprise on the Microsoft platform and these other corporations couldn't get it working right. This allows Microsoft's own IT center to be a product rather than just a money sink. Once you've turned over your IT to Microsoft its not a big step to lease your OS from them.
The consumer model would probably look like the anti virus model (Dr. Nortons, Symantec, Mac Affee, etc.) today. You get your PC and it comes with Windows updates for a year. After the year is over they badger you to get online with the CC and buy another year. If they start shutting down windows if you don't pay I think a lot of people are going be looking for options.
Despite its purchase of ATI I think AMD still has pretty good relations with nVidia. I think both companies realize an nForce SLI set up is a good seller with AMD's CPUs.
I know a number of laptops here go into docking stations and are mostly expensive desktops that can go to a conference room. Not that they serve any useful purpose there. Its just that surfing and checking e-mail is more compelling than actually participating in the meeting.
It's going to be a while before portables are powerful enough for PC Games (because I NEED 2560x1024 x 90 fps with AF & AA at their highest settings).
There's not a lot of difference between Diesel, Heating Oil, and Jet Fuel. I met someone who worked in a refinery where they made all three who said the big difference was "the amount of government in each one". Its actually the purity and the checking to make sure the fuel meets standards. I'm sure that the proces to make bio-Jet Fuel is very similar to the process for making biodiesel - since you have more control over your ingredients it's probably easier and cheaper to qualify bio-Jet Fuel vs. Dino-Jet Fuel.
Bio Diesel has a higher gel point than dino diesel so mixing it with kerosine is needed in colder weather. It could be that Boeing is planning to keep the fuel heated. I believe they already do this with Dino-Jet Fuel to prevent gelling.
... that people who bought DX10 cards so that in the future they will be able to play DX10 games when they come out have basically been sold a "Pig in a Poke". As its currently constituted DX-10 pretty much only serves as a device to obsolete Windows XP in favor of Windows Vista.
It is easy to just rock it up on its edge about 30 degree is all you need then you can repostion on the mouse pad. It's kind of hard to explain but easy to do.
Many people can benefit from this mouse. I used to have pain that ran from my shoulder down to my forearm. I was using a MS Optical Mouse. When I switched to V2 of the Evoluent that pain went away. I'm very happy with it.
I found the learning curve was pretty flat. You are using the same fingers for everything its just turned 90 degrees.
There were no Vista drivers last I checked. The generic driver works for the main functions though.
I've seen this on ASUS, Gigabyte, EPoX, and Shuttle motherboards all at various price points. It seems they all cut corners a little bit with the north bridge heatsink. And yes - thanks for clarifying the point - this is not an AMD CPU problem. But it does cause random crashes to the desktop that people frequently blame on the CPU.

So do you think these robots will boot Linux? Could you imagine a Beowulf Cluster of open source Sex robots ...

I think that's a pretty fair assessment - but at least you can set up a script and walk away while it cranks on a few thousand machines.
On a side note doesn't this all have the feel of reinventing X-Windows (at least in a way)?
