I would assume that a document would have a preset configurable undo level and "states" or "versions." You are somewhat confident in yourself, you might set the undo level at 100. You want to try a new design? Fine. Set a document state and fork it. If you don't like it. Revert to the previous state.
As far as sending your resume to a company, why would you need to send them your full history? Just send them a snapshot of the current resume. You wouldn't actually be sending them a copy of the object. You'd send them the latest version of it with no history.
What I understand is that the program could be run in a "stateful sandbox." If the program freezes, you simply tell the host to retrieve that same program from the last state save.
From what I got it's protected because the program will only know about the address space it has mapped. When it needs more, it requests it from the layer below it which will either return or deny the process the additional space needed. I think the idea of the Phantom OS is to abstract the hardware completely out of the program scope and have the programs request access to an item instead of being told what's there.
I'm guessing (based on a brief review of both articles) that you'd simply drag your image to the other application and it would accept the binary data if it were in a form readable?
I'm trying to abstract myself form current PCs and ignoring hard drives and files for a second, but I believe you simply open your word processor and select from the documents that the word processor has in it's container. When you want to move one document or part of a document to another application space (like a paint program) you'd simply drag it or cut/paste the data into a clipboard and place it in the other program into a new object maintained by said program.
I think of it like OO programming. You instantiate a new object and populate it with data. When you are done with it, you dispose it or store it in a container tied to that application.
The big issue I have is when the kernel takes a dump... how do you get to your data contained in the state it was when the kernel crapped out on you? How do you replace (or know where to locate) the broken piece that made your computer crash?
Because then IBM wouldn't have to pay Uncle Sam 30-40% of your wage in taxes. They can give that to a country that doesn't wallet rape their employees.
As recent events tend to point out... no. People want cheaper stuff and that comes from overseas.
I know it's a bit off-topic but I feel that our own government is making this worse as time goes on. The only way to reverse the loss of jobs is to start cutting government agencies and military spending while giving tax breaks to all Americans. If I wasn't getting nearly 40% of my income taken out each month, I'd gladly take a 30% pay cut which would be more like a 10% pay raise in cost of living adjustment. (my math is probably all wrong, but it's not the point of the matter.) If American companies didn't have to pay all their employees 40% more than a country with less gouging taxes in order to maintain their quality of life, more jobs would stay here because it would cost the company less.
I have more of a feeling that this is more FUD spread by someone on the anti-Playstation camp. Just like all the rumors on price drops and such. If you spread news that Sony is abandoning the current gen system for a whole new platform, why buy one?
Sony wouldn't announce that. It smells like some kind of marketing scam.
Yeah, I read that and thought... if it were a "nice Sony engineering guy" trying to hit on the "hot lady reporter" offering her a scoop for some... ahem... services, it might make more sense.
It may not seem logical, but upgrading my laptop from 8.04 to 8.10 made me wipe the partition and install Debian Experimental and so far it's been a good move. I did it because so much wasn't working in 8.10. Some things were fixed, but there were more headaches than fixes.
I use Bitstream Vera Sans on both Windows and Linux...and the spacing seems to be the same so I don't know what you are referring to. Maybe you need to get another font? There are literally hundreds of free fonts that work just fine.
You almost touched on another problem....NET 1 and 2 are different environments. So much so that you have to have two runtimes (CLRs... whatever) to be able to use them. With Java, you can run all your old programs in the new JVM. With.NET, your.NET 1.1 app will likely not run in.NET 2..NET 3 is supposedly backwards compatible with 2.x, but who's to say if 4 or 5 will be?
Unity3d... using Mono ONLY for a scripting engine? Yeah, you heard me. There's no Linux environment for it even though they basically used Mono, written for Linux, as a sort of "Actionscript alternative". I will not have any respect for the Unity team until they recontribute to Linux. As it is now, they have no interest in giving back...only taking. Miguel was making a player in his spare time, but it appears as though he's only human and has run into a problem that he can't seek assistance with because it's closed source. Yeah... no thanks.
Yes, fear. Make all companies fear using/donating to/working on open source because they might be sued.
When Ballmer stands in front of a crowd and states that Linux has violated patents... people (albeit stupid) will listen. It would be like an alien race telling everyone that they are going to destroy Earth, then waiting for everyone to leave.
But then we get into the topic of if Mono is.NET or an imitator. If it gets too powerful, or too feature full, who's to say if MS doesn't retract their promise and claim that Mono is infringing on their patents, suing whatever company might have worked on said products?
What I dislike about Mono/.NET isn't the technology. It's a cool way to do things (up to a point when it becomes brainless cut and paste as I've seen a lot recently.) I like the general coding and namespacing standards, but there's always the looming Microsoft update around the next corner and you feel like you are always playing catch up. With C/C++, you have additional libraries that come into play from year to year, but the language itself is defined. You continue to use your libraries, they get better... it's a slowly changing target. Yes, there's a new revision coming to extend it even more, but once that's there you won't have Microsoft adding LINQ to the core in 3 months causing a new revision and a new learning dependence. A dependence on MS and marketing of feature sets. I feel as though the language is going to get so bloated with "new"/"handy"/"neato"/"swell" features that it will become cumbersome to learn for someone just coming into it. Yeah, it's great for those in on the ground floor that know and learn as it grows... but there's another side to that growing wall.
Not only the learning curve, but the libraries alone. You mentioned libraries on top of the core structure of the language that are added in requiring bigger downloads for the RTE and more initial overhead. Now you have to look toward embedded devices or mobile platforms. Are they going to be filled with libraries that aren't needed or do you create a slimmed version of the.NET framework to run on them? If you cut out the cruft, now you have virtually two different environments. You might have been able to do LINQ on your desktop, but now since you cut out all those libraries to be able to fit it on a flash ROM... you have to code entirely different.
Disclaimer: I was picking on LINQ... but you could replace it with any method you use.
The problem is, his view of how this occurs is via Microsoft producing everything in that overall system.
You hit the nail on the head for me. Everything I know and have learned about the world tells me that this is the wrong goal no matter what the intention. If he really felt that way, he's be working with all kinds of operating systems and companies to produce a stable open standard that promoted growth through competition. As it turned out, he's just greedy.
It just tells me they might have a market to allow bot creators an interface for making mob AI! Then the players can fight against the botters according to the game rules and those that want to make game bots can improve the game by offering a challenge to players.
In order to keep unmanned botting popular, reward the bots for every player killed. If a bot manages to spawn, kill someone, collect a random item on the corpse and make it back to a "home base" then the bot can put the item on the global auction. Otherwise, another player character could kill the bot on the way back to town and claim said item(s) for themselves.

In Gnome: System | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts | Subpixel rendering
Fixed. Better fonts. (not sure about KDE)
So what does that tell you about the short Mojave video (not an actual running version) of an OS people were shown?
5 years is a very different time line than 1-2 years.

Publish documents about it. The copyright on the documents wouldn't work for proof?
Not to mention the cost, free with a Windows Server 2008 license.
That's not very free...

WoW is not your home
How can you be certain that I'm not really a Dwarf Paladin bot posting to Slashdot from within WoW? Hmm?
Your right... maybe we should get a bunch of volunteers to come up with a new name for it.
We'd just need the fault line to open a bit more. Then you can have all the molten lava you want.
