What you wrote: I haven't followed things after that, but let's assume the API hasn't gotten any simpler, especially with all the new shading specifications.
What I read: Blah blah blah blah, and I'll assume whatever is convenient for me to make my case.
From what I have read the DirectX API is at least as easy to code now, and has certainly improved since versions one through three, which were the versions Carmack was upset with. So, let's not make such HUGE assumptions in the future.
Even if Aftermath is released when they are now saying it will be, Valve would still be doing better that its recent track record -- that is, it will be the first time that Valve has released a product less than nine months late in the past two years.
That said, I have to wonder why anyone is surprised. I would be surprised to the point of speechlessness if it was out before the summer.
There can be no factorization algorithm that runs in constant time. It's not even theoretically possible. The lower bound on the time taken to generate the answer is the time taken to verify its certificate, which is linear in the number of bits used to represent the factors. To even find a polynomial time algorithm is to prove that P=NP (Hint: it won't happen -- it's been proven that we don't even have the right kinds of maths to talk about the problem yet.).
And 15,000,000,000 CPU cycles?! Where did you get that number? OK, nevermind, I don't want to know . . . probably no place that I want to talk about. That's like . . . only three hours on my laptop, which is not a very fast laptop. I'm pretty confident right now that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Maybe. Programming itself is creation of worlds as well -- the code is my canvas, the runtime my world, and I am the god of it. The creation of fantasy worlds is a strong metaphor for programming, and vice-versa.
I'm over it. I'm completely fine with control staying at ICANN. That is what will happen and I am totally unworried about it. No paranoia here . . . it just doesn't seem that useful to give control over to an international body when it can be kept at home. I think that that is the reason why ICANN will maintain control of the root servers, more than anything else.
I thought that the odds were much BETTER for staying together in the arranged marriage couples. However, the source of this cohesion is disputed: some say that it is because of societal pressures on couples that would otherwise get divorce, others say that it's because the couple understands that what makes a good marriage is not the initial attraction but the actions and kindness that sustain everyday life.
They all use MSN and Hotmail anyways, so it's really the family members who won't be able to reach their email accounts. The emails themselves will go exactly where they are supposed to.
It's too bad that you don't trust them, but in this case it's them that hold the cards. It's not a question of, "Well, we don't trust them, so we're going to do something different," but, "We don't trust them, and there is _absolutely_ nothing we can do about it."
I'm a college student without a degree. Even after I get my first job, the average for my school is $50k and the best I can hope for is $70-$75k to start off.
I was thinking the exact same thing. If he's gonna hold me to a perfect standard, I'll do the same for him. Is comp good enough to justify being on eggshells all the time? I can't imagine what I would have to be paid to deal with that kind of pressure. We can start the bidding at 100k.
You are right, that would be a loss, but it's a loss that makes sense. I think that the wins will easily balance out the hit you take on this one instance . . . perhaps not for your company, if you have other boxes that virtualize less than the number of physical procs, but for most companies running SQL Server and other such products, it will be a big win.
"After reading a few thousand [comments] like the ones [on this article], I seriously contemplated taking down [Slashdot] and just posting links to animal porn for you retards. You're all idiots, and I've lost what little respect I had for you."
Slashdot is a picture of what I call "Tragicomedy."
It's really not that good. I mean, it was good, even Good, but it's not Top Ten Movies of All Time Good. Not even Top Ten Movies in the Last Decade Good. Maybe Top Three Movies of the Year Good, but that's as high as I'll go.
The reason why it is rated so highly is all the fanboys and fangirls spamming the A+.
You cannot pay if you have no money. What do you to do to SCO? Send the head honchos to jail?
if (no)
OK, then, it's settled. else
Answer this question: What good does it do for IBM to send all of SCO's people to jail? None. OK, so IBM will not chase this dream of punishment and justice. So I guess the People have to (If anyone will, that is.). Well, what good does that do the People? We waste MORE money sending people to jail, then even MORE money to keep them in jail, and for what profit? Will they ever have a chance to do this again? I wouldn't say so . . . they're not still dangerous like a serial killer -- they are hobbled by the fact that their failure was public and no one wants them around any more. I wouldn't say that frivilous lawsuits are even deserving of jailtime.
So, let's summarize: To whom would be the benefit if justice were carried through to its extreme?

You are wrong. It would be nice if it was that way, but it is not. See all the other posts.
The grandparent poster was being facetious, davidwr.

The parent is an exercise in futility. It will never happen; why bother talking about it?
Point to one example where they have sued people because the code is similar. I have never heard of it happening.
ARE THERE ANY other instructions because I tried these and they didn't work.

And an even better question is, "Will anyone ever look at this page versus a page that only has an age gate."
Hint: the answer is, "No."
It will be this way eventually in every industry, the way things are going.

I'm amazed that you missed THE ENTIRE REST OF THE ARTICLE where it said that the average company will save money because of this move.
RTFA? It will reduce costs for most companies.

I'm not sure, but I believe that attempting to commit an illegal act is viewed almost the same as doing it in most sub-felony level situations.
They have a right to try, but unless the government is going to sue HBO for them, they definitely don't have a right to actually download the show.
