2x sounds a bit on the low side. The famous DEC cxx compiler for alphas outspeeded gcc by 5-10 times on mostily fp-programers and 2-5 times on mostly integer. Now those where the days. (I've always wondered what just how much the alphas would have sucked without cxx)
I still dont like the answer. Who says the pieces each are large enough to destroy civilizations? Say one large rock hits earth in the pacific and drown 100's of millions around the pacific. Now instead we hit it with a nuke or two, and only a third of it hits earth in a dusin different places, with each catastrophy much smaller and only costal cities needs to be evacuated and no nuclear winter type of event.
If we get a late warning nukes are still our only option (still need atleast a year to design one to go to space).
Really? When did they lose the QString and QVector class and other ugly warts?
When all STL implementation are good, complete and compliant. IOW not in our lifetime.
Which is a *bad* thing, violating the UNIX design principle of many small parts, each the best for its job. I frequently use glib even in projects that I'm not using gtk+ in -- I find it makes C a joy to use. You can't do that with Qt -- it's all or nothing. I don't want a bloody "platform" on my computer. I got my fill of that with JVMs. Qt is bloated, and far more so than gtk.
It's a shared library use the parts you need, forget the rest. The are losts of parts KDE doesnt use.
No calling TCP reliable, means that it provides certain features you can rely on: 1. Data either arrives intact or dont arrive at all. 2. Data always arrives in the order it was sent 3. Data is never duplicated.
You can safely rely on all of these facts. Calling TCP a garantie that you packages arrive is leaky, but TCP doesnt claim that.
So if you dont abstract TCP more than you are meant to, it is a non-leaky abstraction.
I dont think you understand TCP, you dont request a resend. TCP does that for you, if you timeout it means the connection is broken. Feel free to try again later, but trying again means opening a new connection, and no packages from an old connection will confuse the new one.
The amount of research backing global warming is stunning. There have also been done research to prove the opposite (also succesfull research). It is always interesting when researchers can prove two different things. But since the researchers disproving global warming have mostly been hired by the oil industry, I thing the majority has the best credability.

I thought that was 95%, maybe the percantage varies in upto 82% of the cases that statement is used.
1. Do you refer to Nvidia as they or it? I use they.
2. Do you say they are or they is? I say they are.
Sorry for being a smartass; I know americans say it differently, but my english dictionary says both forms are correct when using a company-name. I just like to see a company as a group of people and not an entity.
Ask your lawyer how distributing something over the internet is not distributing?
NVidia are distributing binary-only drivers. They do a trick however, where the code that needs to be loaded into the kernel is (L)GPL, and then this cpde interfaces their binary driver. This both allows a buffer to the GPL code but also to support various different versions of the kernel with the same driver. Moreover it allows for a lot of naive trolls claiming that Nvidia is distribting the source-code because they have seen this little module.
Hrmmph. No, it explains why you have just two parties in America, not why we have more most other places.
Just miss ONE important concept: Election alliances.
If you live in a country that values the oppion of the people and hates to see votes go to waste, this is a very common concept. Basicaly the two parties A & B would sign the alliance, meaning that whoever gets the most votes gets the votes of both parties. (votes lost in one party are moved to strengthen the other). Not only can it be used in plurality elections like you president, but it can be used in candidate elections as well. A gets votes enough for 23.4 candidates and B enough for 13.7. A lost votes 0.4 and 0.7 are then solved in the alliance and B gets the extra 0.4, and can thus get a total of 14 candidates. The bonus for A is that the otherwise lost votes goes to strengthen his allies and not his enemies.
Ask yourself: How would you decelerate without friction?
Friction is lost kinetic energy turned into heat. IOW to decelate without friction, you would need a process that turned kinetic energy into another form of energy without raising the entrophy. What I am saying is: That if you can do that both ways. Turn some form of energy into kinetic energy and back without losses; you have the basic requirements of a Carnot cycle and thus the process is a Carnot machine.
Ofcouse there's politics behind; they want their own distibution like France(mandrake) and Germany(SuSE). Besides I guess one of the important tasks for LinEx is likely to write a simpler installer and make disks that defaults to spanish locale and supports euro-sign out of the box (unlike Debian )
No, the difference in presure is 1 athomosphere. The same as diving 3 yards under water.. Ever needed a suit to dive 3 yards? (If you dive to more than 5 atm. you need to do it gradually, because sudden changes of more than a few atm, will fuck with your brain and body and give you diving illness)
The space suit is meant to protect you from heat, cold and radiation. I meantioned that vacuum is non-fatal exactly because of this fallacy.
Having frictionless acceleration and deceleration would be a perfect carnou machine. Meaning you could use it to travel back in time. In the tube it would be meaningless whether time went forward or backwards.
In the case of infrastructure designers, it is in my experience not as much corruption as incompetence. There are too few companies that find public transport important enough to bribe for.
Is it corruption when you design new routes to go to your own home? (or not where most people live)
Because there are no secure drivers for linux, and because it is difficult to set up. And a pain to fix if the keyboard is broken and needs to be replaced.
Sounds good on the surface. But I am not sure I would trust a mility controlled partly by permanent members of the security counsel like China, Russia or the USA (not sure about the british or the french either, but atleast they havent been that bad recently)
Hmm.. Yes, I was considering that as well. If penguins migrate south in the winter; where do they migrate to? Considering that they live on the southpole!

No this is called SmartStep, why do you presume to be so much smarter than everyone else without even reading the article?
SpeedStep is controllable and disable-able, SmartStep is not. That's the problem.

Vacuum is not fatal, only the lack of oxygen is.
