As someone who suffers from migraines, which have a close relation to epileptic seisures, I can attest that I've often felt like my brain was overheating before and during the migraine. Adding additional cooling sounds reasonable enough. On the other hand, cooling pads never made me feel better. Perhaps they only cool my skin and muscles, leaving my brain to melt down...
All the article states is that a certain protein has been identified as being crucial to the process. Perhaps this would be sufficient if I were in bio-med, but as it is, I'm not seeing it.
such content amounts to a crapflooding sort of DOS attack. I believe that version 0.7 should be a bit more efficient, though I'm really not sure.
A bedrock principle of press freedom is being free to choose what to publish and what not to. Allowing data to pass through your node does not make you a publisher. It makes you a supporter of the transmission of free, uncensored, information. It is a two-way street. You get what you want without interference. So do people with opposing viewpoints. It is necessary to the functioning of Freenet that it works this way. If you could choose not to transmit certain content, so could anyone. Then you too would be unable to get what you want. However, by not downloading certain content, you slow its propagation and make it harder to obtain.
it's not practical until I can have control over what gets put on my node. Their FAQ handwaves the hell out of this essentially by suggesting that true freedom means I have to host something I find personally disgusting No, that is precisely what makes it practical. Nobody gets to say what is or is not acceptable to be published on Freenet. That is exactly what guarantees freedom.
I find my government's views on what is acceptable to be a better compromise than Freenet's views on what is acceptable. Well, you might say that right now, but your government could get worse. In any case, Freenet has no views on what is acceptable. Its members can post what they like. You can encourage people not do download certain content, then discouraging its propagation through the net. Any censorship ability beyond that would destroy Freenet.
E3, while brought up in the article, has little to do with the main point of the article. This isn't about a fear that the event will now become what E3 is trying to move away from being. This is about GDC becoming too big in its own right.
"Now that the industry is big enough to sustain (several other) segment-, market- or platform-specific developer conferences, will GDC still continue to be mecca for game developers? We'll see," Pallister said.
Your point would be a valid one if he had not specifically stated that we were discussing the API, which is publicly available. Perhaps you are right that I was taking his comment a bit too literally however...
Slashdot should train its editors to put "dupe" in its headlines! That way, we'll have an easier time finding the latest Slashdot dupes using Google news!
It is almost like putting a shiny interface on FreeBSD. Good thing they would have an excellent example to follow on how to sell a free product hidden behind a proprietary GUI.
Come on. Why is this news? Intelligence correlates with many behaviors that increase longevity, including eating right and exercising more. I hope (at least) that they expected this to be the case in their hypothesis...
I believe the primary motivation for the XBox switch from NVidia to ATI in the 360 generation is because NVidia refused to renegotiate the contract with Microsoft as production costs for the GPUs dropped. Microsoft, having only just entered the hardware arena, lacked the foresight to account for dropping production costs of the GPU in the original contract. It is just Microsoft screwing NVidia one more time after the GeForce FX (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia#Shortcomings_o f_FX_series).
White Wolf's World of Darkness must be one of the largest, most diverse, and just plain compelling role playing universes around. Other video games based on White Wolf products just haven't lived up to the universe they were trying to portray (not to say I haven't enjoyed them). If CCP manages to do this right, they might be the first company to convince me it is worth paying a monthly fee to play a game. Luckily for my wallet, I doubt they'll manage it...
According to Wikipedia, the number of jokes regarding something tripling in the past six months according to Wikipedia has tripled in the past six months!
Am I missing something? Why has the parent been modded funny? Informative is more like it. Mod it troll if that is what you mean (you troll you). It is times like these that I wish I had mod points to correct stuff like this.
While you are right, you seem to have missed his point entirely. One of the biggest applications of real-time scheduling for normal users (rather than pilots and nuclear plant controllers) *is* media. Pick up a text book on operating systems, and scheduling of media applications (audio, video,...) is practically the first thing they get to.
I for one believe that it could be immensely useful for Linux to provide the option of switching to a real time scheduler when starting a video playing - and for it to be able to tell you that there is no chance it will be able to run certain videos (HD for example) on older hardware.
I would say that they lost the opportunity to really push MacOS as a gaming platform when they let Microsoft buy Bungie. Who knew one game could sell a whole platform?

It is still all about the developers.

What are you talking about? Apple is free to implement the DirectX API for "their" operating system whenever they choose to do so. Ever heard of Wine?

No no no... "When news breaks, we fix it." The original as far as I can remember, and very applicable too.
