When I was doing my Masters, I was knocked down from 10/10 to 7/10 on a particular submission, for the sole reason that I had submitted my listing in proportional as opposed to fixed-width fonts. I of course vowed never to get caught out again or give the lecturer in question any other reason to otherwise penalise me. I suppose I must credit him with making me think about it, which I had never previously done.
I personally think that telling people that they are naive is rude. For the record, both online and in the real world, I frequently enjoy discussions with people about subjects that we all readily admit we are not authorities on. Vive la naïveté.
I've been reading Slashdot for over seven years. I only bothered to register this year. I couldn't care less what my UID is, or whether people infer a damn thing about me from it or the regularity of my postings as AC or not. You obviously don't have enough life experience to desist from brazen rudeness to a new member of a community to which he has swiftly made over twenty contributions, unpaid, of which more than half have been moderated insightful or interesting. You are the lucky recipient of my 10th logged in post. Make of that what you will.
How the hell is this modded troll? Our business' information architecture depends upon XSL transformations. Every point made by the parent is valid. What a shame/. has become what it has.
So in the end it's the legal bluray viewers that end up buying new monitors, videocards and bluray drives to satisfy the hdcp requirement, while the pirates can watch them with whatever hardware they want.
Yes. Those people who are prepared to spend money will have to spend money. Those who won't spend money, won't.
I second that sentiment, and presume that he means it - with the publication of not just his office number, but his personal mobile (cell) number as well!

So:
I'm going to be able to access not just applications in my browser, but a whole OS?
Gosh, think of the security implications - where are my files being stored, blahblah.
FUCKING DYNDNS, APACHE & a JAVA VNC CLIENT
Although the rest of the posts seem to suggest that the article actually has sweet F.A. to do with anything.
As an aside, I have heard it mentioned that it is possible to pay for a subscription to slashdot, is the posting of this article some kind of incentive?
When dealing with Java's lack of pointers, I found I needed to learn more about JNI. Addison Wesley's Java Native Interace contains some of the more useful info I found regarding the classloader mechanism, which is about all you should need to supplement the java.lang.reflect API docs.
What do you think this machine is doing?
You use this machine to calculate how far you can push your reactors to provide the energy you're talking about.
I, for one, welcome any developments in 3D capabilities for mobile devices. There are many examples of applications that require 3D that would be desirable on a mobile device. One example that I have worked on is in hospitals, where doctors and nurses can pocket a small terminal that is capable of displaying not just a patients medical records, but also MRI, CT & PET imaging, and manipulating the data sets in three dimensions. Previously this was achieved with a render farm pumping full-screen bitmaps over the wireless network to notebook form factor thin clients. Not only is there a central point of failure, but also masses of data-traffic, and an unwieldy device to cart about. Providing staff with phone style devices is a cheaper hardware investment, particularly considering the wireless-ready capabilities of the phones, and can supply several levels of fall-back networking capability (802.11 -> UTMS -> GRPS -> GSM, even Bluetooth: does your notebook have this much support? How much would it cost to add?). Java *does* provide a secure enough platform to handle confidential data on a consumer device, and the patient (in this example) is likely to have access to a similarly capable device to view the data at their leisure - how many Java implementations are there in your house? (Hint: more than you think).
I could expound further, but while the games market doubtless drives the nVidia/ATI development cycle, there exist many more uses for 3D visualization than just games. And besides, all the best games are 2D anyway..

What a shame
OS X is optimised for Apple hardware. Therein lies the USP. Vista isn't (yet). Big surprise.
Definitely an inspired idea.
google meets archive.org
Wouldn't it be great to use "google on this day".
The before and afters would make great sig links for all those who troll the old tiananmen@com/cn
Just a matter of time people...
