Storage@home was a distributed storage infrastructure designed to store massive amounts of scientific data across a large host of volunteer machines. The project was developed by some of the Folding@home team at Stanford University, and is currently inactive.
And just to clarify, you get a PRINCE2 certificate when you complete Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame. It's handed over by the Jordan Mechner Foundation.
Let me be the first on this thread to say, I don't believe for a moment that is a 1 TB chip on that knife screenshot. There's no way you could make a 1TB drive that small at this point in time. Famous last words, I know.
True, true. Using today's tech you could cram maybe 64-128GB into that size.
How many of these me-too media center suites do we need ?
The answer might be simple. Coming up with unique programming ideas is hard, so this subject gives coders a nice and sexy project to work on. Everyone likes to watch movies and listen to music. That's why there's so many of them.
I hoped that Pixel Qi could have made a screen that was readable like eInk for ebook readers, but worked well enough in active mode in color with a backlight. I haven't seen a screen in person, but the reviews I've read over the last couple of years said that the Pixel Qi screen is kind of the worst of both worlds, not the best. Not great color or definition in active mode, and not that great in passive, reflective B&W mode either. That was disappointing to me to hear.
Huh? As far as I know, Pixel Qi screens have a color reflective mode. I think the sunlight-readability (with fast refresh, unlike e-ink) is a kick-ass feature on its own.:)
True for software too. In the old days, one passionate man could write a hit game, now it requires a big team to create something top-notch. Today each of us have to just specialize on some smaller part of the ensemble.
You're absolutely correct that clearly most useful will be a developer with proper debug setup, but there still might be some occasions where a normal user can roughly describe the actions that led to the filesystem crash, such as "I was torrenting like a mad", "I cleared my browser cache", "I copied some files off a USB drive".
I think motherboard testing still utilizes DOS based programs. This is one of the advantages of it, to give you access to the hardware without nothing getting in between. You have probably seen clips from the factories before, but this Gigabyte Nanping video shows at 08:30 some examples of DOS4GW-spiced tools to write test patterns to the chips. It would be interesting to meet the guy who makes the software.

Also .jpg versus .jpeg is a big one. Many people even say "send it to me as jay-pee-gee" rather than just "jay-peg".
How about "£inux"?

No comment on the article, but I read an interesting book about the "flow" phenomenon written by this Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi guy.

Who cares about the commas? What I hate is the constant line breaks for no apparent reason.
But it makes it look more...poetic.
Yes, DVD install.
Nice size. Standard Ubuntu installation these days takes a bit under 6GB. Just adding some statistics. :)
That would be a very interesting project.
Another Finn. To me the ban seems to be active. The DNS won't resolve TPB.

In Finland, Elisa Viihde also offers HDTV over internet and it works just fine.

The frame rate could be upped too.
It's just a "mysterious" clip tailored to create hype around some upcoming Wipeout release, maybe for PS Vita?

In Finnish, "perse" means "ass".

I wonder how many times a day all around the world still some ordinary fella stops to ponder why the heck do the drive letters must start at 'C'.
Simply true.
Fair enough.
I feel a lag when simply typing in basic text boxes, both Windows and Ubuntu.
