Some people are very good at finding these primes. The now disposed record twin prime's finder was prof. JÃrai [compalg.elte.hu], whose lectures I attended.
I find it interesting that the guy who works with insanely cool things like primes gave mind-numblingly boring lectures. He basically read his book out aloud. Some people are just very good at research and very bad at teaching.
He didn't have to be good at anything except loading the program that searches for the twin primes on his computer...
My mistake, there is no super mario bros. (only mario bros., which I mistook to be the side-scrolling super mario bros.) available right now for the wii...but you still get the idea of what I mean.
On the wii I'm going to get soon, I'm going to buy the NES super mario bros. for $5 (in the form of 500 wii points) on the virtual console. On the 64, gamecube, and wii, the super smash brothers games are 2.5D (3D characters that only move left/right/up/down). But good luck finding a Wii, 360, or PS3 game that costs the standard amount and is only 2D! So to answer your question, yes and no. Yes because nobody would want to pay $50/$60 for a next-gen game that is only 2D, and no because people don't mind paying $5 for the old ones or $50/$60 for a new, fun, 2.5D game. IMHO.
Seriously, people, at least read the snippet that/. posted before you slam and make fun of this idea!
As the article says, it would allow a blind person to have a seeing companion that would get the target in sight, and allow the blind hunter to pull the trigger. It would not be a safety hazard IMHO. I think it would do as the lawmaker is suggesting and open the fun of hunting to more people.
You only need three consoles, the three from the new generation: the Wii, the PS3, and the Xbox 360. The Wii replaces your NES, SNES, 64, and GC (full backward compatible with GC, virtual console for the rest). Now that you only have three you have to deal with the wires of, it will be easy to buy a switcher box (even auto-switcher if you like) at a radio shack or somewhere that can handle all three, along with your satellite or cable box.
Aside from the 'normal' edition ($5), you can also spring for the collector's edition ($10) with videos and such. For a down-payment of $25, you can pre-order the 'Legendary' edition.
The $5, $10, and $25 prices shown here are the pre-order deposits. The real full prices are $59.99, $69.99, and $99.99 (respectively).
This looks like it could be the ultimate media center PC with a Blu-ray re-writer, HDMI and HDCP enabled NVidia graphics, integrated wireless, gigabit ethernet, digital TV tuner and twin hard disks. Unfortunately it doesn't come cheap.
No, really? I'd think that all that stuff would be so cheap! BD-RW drive, HD enabled graphics cards, integrated wireless, gigabit ethernet, digital tuner, and two hard drives are soooo cheap.
It wasn't really weightless so much as really-really-light.
Even in space, it is not actually 'weightless', there is still the gravity that holds the celestial bodies in orbit. While the plane may make it more like.01 G instead of.000001 G, it's not as if it's entirely a different thing from being in space (microgravity is the term).

You've missed the point. If the world's most popular site, Slashdot, stops supporting something, then users will be forced to migrate to new software. That's how it works, right?
Here on Slashdot, I'd be very surprised if even 10% of the 25% are using IE willingly. I'd assume that they are on a work computer or a friend's computer (that hasn't been converted to Firefoxism). So I think it is important to make the JS for the new discussion system work on IE.
Discussion2 has been in beta for a few months now on Slashdot Initially available only to subscribers, it now should be available to anyone willing to login and click the checkbox at the head of every discussion.
I've had it since July 13th and I'm not a subscriber. Is the above statement incorrect or was I just accidentally offered it?
That's not the point. The point is that instead of the US being, in general, the "root", US sites will all be under the.us domain, similar to other countries, (.co.uk, etc.) and the normal domain for US sites will be.co.us instead of.com.
- NTFS is huge and complex, not for the kernel. Crash in kernel (hw error, corrupt ntfs, etc) and game is over. Crash in user space then just restart the service.
But Windows XP has NTFS support in its kernel, why can't Linux?
cue the "yeah but that's why Windows crashes all the time" flames...and if they're right, then what's the big difference between having FAT32 support and having NTFS support?

or is that they want their joke forward?
Yeah, I thought of that shortly after I posted my comment.

Now instead of worrying about leaving the tools inside the person, they have to worry about the tools floating into the person.
Now we'll start seeing "Made in China" stickers on web sites.

But what checks Coverity for bugs? Coverity? What if it has a bug-checking bug causing it to not see its own bug.
