if you think about it, it does make sense. the cold air will heat up after going through the racks, and that hot air will escape from the top. probably easier to push the hot air down once it is in the 'heat core' than it would be pushing hot air down the silo
Silverlight is not currently available on linux... only windows and mac. So I guess adobe beat them to that milestone.
I have been waiting for the linux flash 64bit plugin for 3 years+. I can't believe a company like adobe couldn't deliver during all this time. It seems that they had their head in the sand for all that time. If Microsoft caused them to finally face reality, then I send them my thanks.
I don't really care who wins this tech war, as long as I don't have to use windows to view a freaken web site.
(I know my 64bit linux could load flash sites, but the implementation was buggy as hell, causing me to restart firefox and cross my fingers many times. Hopefully their release will change this.)
I used to DISCOVER new music through that site and BUY albums, until they blocked usage from any country other than USA.
I tried finding a replacement to that site, but haven't found one yet. closest one is deezer.com, but it doesn't have the ability to recommend music as pandora does.
PANDORA ROCKs, it's really sad that I can't use it anymore:(
I think you are on to something. I used to play WOW on linux using wine... with opengl, I was getting pretty good FPS. In other words, if I could get wow to run on linux through wine, then I don't see it as a far stretch to get a windows desktop running on linux through wine.
What I really wonder is when they will drop their file system and start using an implementation closer to unix/linux/osX. That will be a good day for the windows community.
I try not to take sides on this issue because of all the propaganda... but try looking at this:
The Israelis are controlling the situation from afar using their military technology, and the Palestinian combatants are unable to target the Israeli army on their home ground... so, the only targets the Palestinian combatants have is the Israeli civilians. I'm sure that if Palestinian combatants would have the choice, they would rather kill soldiers. However, Israel isn't giving them that choice... hell, they are not giving them much choice at all. The only way they retalliate is to target civilians.
Also from the news, it seems that Israels response of killing one civilian is to kill 100 Palestinians... given that and the fact that they can't target the military, what other choice do they have?
If you put it this way, then you should not have access to medical care when you get older... since you are not contributing to the education of the youth today.
If everybody didn't have kids, there would be no country after this generation. This is why we need to help people that do have kids.
Your point seems really selfish to me.
(ps, I dont have kids yet, but I don't mind helping my neighbors educate their children)
One could argue that exposure to art can help a person in many ways (mental health => physical health, expanding the mind, inspiration,...). Music is a great example of this therefore I'm not too disturbed by the idea.
All of this plus accessible free music, heh... sounds good to me.
Seriously, I'm getting tired of governments who are scaring their citizens about Iran's threat to this world. I'm glad they were able to achieve this despite all the embargoes against them.
Taiwan and China are separated, not divorced. If China goes to war with anyone, I'm willing to bet they would start with Taiwan. Any talk of divorce on Taiwan's part will force China's hand. I think this is one affair/relationship that the US should stay out of. Maybe they can give them technology to help them out, but against the rising military power that is China, seems useless to me. Trying to stop them would start WW3.
I applaud him for trying to think outside the box. MIT knew what they were getting into by selecting him as the architect. They could have saved millions by going for a 'standard' building, but proved their will to experiment by selecting him and approving his work.
There are other ways to promote your music for free. We have a local college radio station that only plays new music and offers local bands a medium to play their music. I often end up knowing new bands before the mainstream catches on. Some of the music ends up on mainstream radio station after a couple of months because of popular demand, not cause of the RIAA promos.
My latest find: Grand Analog - Calligraffiti (cool hip-hop / rock with a touch of blues... sounds a little like K-OS)
All the music I bought in the past 2 years were played on that station. They all come from independent record labels so I hope it doesn't finance the RIAA in any way.
However, one hit wonders will have problems getting out through these channels since they probably wont do well in the underground crowd.
I think he was referring to the fact that some governments are pushing open source, which means that when the time comes for them to make the decisions of which video card to use in their corporate desktop standard, this move could influence their decisions. When you think about how much hardware governments buy, you can see how this could have a positive impact for ATI/AMD. Plus, 3D is not so important for most government workers, so pushing out a 2D open source right away seems like a good move.
Plus the fact that the first born will probably try things himself first, while the siblings will look up to the oldest for example on how to do things. I think facing new problems yourself with no advice will no doubt increase your IQ in the long run.
Imagine a world disaster happens and Monsanto goes under, and all of humanity needs to rely on the existing crop seeds for nutrition... if everyone is using a crop with the terminator gene, then we would be doomed.
These corporate folks are putting greed ahead of public responsibility.
FDA making sure your food is safe... that's an illusion.
Have you looked at the meet and dairy food industry lately? FDA has approved a whole bunch of crap (engineered hormones, like rBGH) produced by Monsanto to boost production in these fields. The FDA seems not to care that this can increase cancer, and make cows sick.
FTFA: While rBGH is banned in Europe and Canada, and has been boycotted by 95 percent of US dairy farmers, the FDA, Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture continue to license the drug (and other new genetically engineered foods) without pre-market safety tests.
I'm glad that I live in Canada, where this is banned. FDA... whatever. I don't like puss in my milk tyvm.
I completely agree with you. I think people that are dissing javascript are people that haven't really kept up with it in a while.
I used to think that javascript was for simple web form validation, and kept writting code in C, java and python. After ignoring javascript for a while, I ended up looking at some AJAX applications... It was a jaw dropping experience to say the least.
Now that prototype.js is available, AJAX is cross-browser compliant and simple to use. On top of that, now there's also script.aculo.us, and other interesting libraries. So finally, we get to the point where we no longer need Flash... and then this 'new language' pops up.
I think I'll stay ahead of the curve and stick with AJAX.
I don't understand why people say that ajax is not a cross-platform solution. Libraries like prototype.js makes the cross-platform issue a non-issue. I'm currently coding myguild.com, and many sections of it uses ajax. Although I code for firefox, I tested most of the code with IE and all the ajax stuff worked right out of the box. I'm aware of a some javascript code on the site that needs tweeking for it to be cross-browser compliant, but none of it is related to AJAX.
I agree that programming your first ajax app can be mind numbing, but it's the same thing with writing your first MVC java application. Ajax apps are more complex simply because it opens up the user-interface to a world of new possibilities. Aside from that, it's relatively simple.
new Ajax.Updater('divId', 'url')... couldn't get more simpler that that

If that's the case, than maybe signing the deal is the best thing they could have done.
Option 1: -continue as usual as a frog in a stagnant puddle hiding in the shade
Option 2: -get a bunch of cash and try to use that to get competitive in new markets.
I think they made the best choice for themselves. Plus who will this affect? very few people.
However, I think I would cry if Ubuntu or redhat made the same deal.
sounds like you are chaotic neutral :)
