Yes. Intel is learning from the centrino experience. The next round of processors will be very difficult to beat. Currently, the Core Duo for laptops eats anything AMD for breakfast.
Here's something he might find a little interesting. It's the Aero 3D - windowing interface Vista has ripped off the OSS community and Sun Microsystems, only the name is Project Looking Glass 3D and it's not only an app, it's a 3D desktop environment.
As for "interesting" software, Linux is not striving to be a form of entertainment with useless software that just looks good. Linux is about being a proper OS, with all consequential implications. People who develop software for Linux do not waste their time, because most of the FOSS does not reap monetary profit, so the author wants to make a difference with something really useful, and possibly pretty too.
If you want to have fun: play a game, or get a wife and kids. A religion. A pet. A russian prostitute. Do something other than troll the Linux people for issues that exist only in your funny little head.
One of the greatest controversies of modern American literature is whether to use dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy.
The reason the article is correct is that America is wrong. dd/mm/yyyy makes a lot more sense for a simple reason: days are a subset of months which are in turn subsets of a year. Either use the ISO version YYYYMMDD or the version used by the rest of the world.
Of course neither that nor the switch to the metric system will ever happen.
I stand corrected. View the very nice clicky post at the beginning of the comments to understand how it really works.
The question is, can it be used (in sufficiently thick amount?) without hard-to-get materials like kevlar? I am really asking if you can make this at home. From the brief vid, it looked like point 5) above is very possible.
Now about this issue, we didn't want your source code. We believe in your good work, but we wanted simple access to your "volatile" functionality that would be used in a non-commercial and purely educational manner. We were not looking for a license.
The idea that your guys were bargaining with us just to USE your software capabilities was frankly very weird. You're supposed to be pleased that we are doing amazing things with your OS. We were developing a SIP stack (and applications), which you now have done. Instead, we went and developed for Windows CE, which does not please me at all.
One last thing, what about this signing issue with Symbian 60 version 3? People on this forum are saying I need to purchase a certificate from VeriSign even to run a tiny Midlet or App on my own phone. Is this true? Because if it is, Nokia will lose around 500 customers within the next year from my university alone (most people here upgrade annually).
1) The stuff thickens AFTER being hit with a high energy impact i.e after the first bullet. Snipers rejoice!
2) No humour allowed. If your buddy accidentally claps you on the back, his hand will get stuck in laxative juice and "nanobits" of silica until everything calms down.
3) What the FUCK is a nanobit?
4) Economy will go to hell. Street gangs will be spraying themselves with laxative and all over their genitals..etc.
5) Can be made at home? A decent high-school lab with a little oven can make this stuff, I'm sure. I guess depends on answer to (3)
Even for a diver with enough certification to allow him an independent dive without a supervisor, things are better. Your location is generally known by the people on the surface and if you pass out, you have a chance at revival.
But if you drop from the sky, you land with a splash...just like a bag of wet cement.
I hate the Symbian company. They are the model of proprietory software. If you try to get documentation from them for APIs you want to use for YOUR OWN personal phone, they will refuse even if you offer $20,000. The number is real..we were trying to access low level real-time communication APIs and they were unknown..my university made a 20000 offer and was refused. They even asked us why we wanted the APIs for. Later they replied saying $30,000 would be better. This time we refused.
Having said this, they are fantastic developers. On a crappy ARM architecture they have managed to do amazing things at incredible speeds. The reason why Linux (and certainly Windows) will never fill the gap is because you need solid reliability plus high quality development plus assurance (i.e warranty, support). The fact that windows offers "support" particularly at the corporate level, makes even knowledgable people select MS over Linux.
Let's just say community forums are not for everybody [and please note that I run FC5 Linux on all my own hardware].
Are there too many anti-sony youtube vids being posted recently, or am I imagining things?
Alright, I get it. I'm imagining things.

The difference between a press conference and a showcase is that with the former you can make $599 announcements without the press taking pictures of gaping gamers (GG Copyright@2006) who are quietly urinating in their pants.
Cancer research sounds a little better than preventing-your-browser-from-misbehaving research. But at only 9 mil a piece, why not both?
In fact, you could put thousands of these machines together for less than 10 billion. For 10 billion dollars you could crack any reversible cryptographic algorithm in the universe on a weekend. I call that world domination.
Maybe Gates still has interesting things to do with his life after all.
You are seeing the truth, but you're still in the CNN-type mode of thought that puts Israel (and it's well-groomed politicians in expensive suits) on "moral highground", making their actions mere responses to those terrible terrorists. This is pure nonsense.
The ratio of civilians killed intentionally by Israel to those by Hizbulla is not even funny (even though I'm not a hizbulla fan). And Israel's history as a continuous violator of Human rights is so well-known it has made anti-Israel rhetoric obsolete. Also, the zionist notion that the "life of one Jew is worth that of a thousand Arabs" was official government stance all through the days of Golda Maeir, and is acted upon today very strictly.
I came upon this today, almost by accident. The sexual harassment part is particularly interesting, and the woman doesn't sound like she's making it up.
Linus is correct. The right of the manufacturer to be able to restrict software precedes the right of the customer to choose what software to run.
This is because the customer can simply choose not to buy the hardware to begin with. But what if the hardware is needed yet monopolized? What if you really want that Dell, but it restricts you to windows NTFS filesystems? The answer is that
a) You can boycott the hardware and all the money that went into R&D will be lost by that nasty manufacturer, then send hatemail to let them know their mistake.
b) The GPL should prevent monopolies and other patent system follies.
The balancing of "customer support headache" and "losing money to freedom headache" is an internal company matter.
Not really. To do anything worthwile with OSS software, you will have to understand what is happening, and the time it will take you to learn that is an investment. The mindset becomes: "Why is our software not working?".
Slashdot Mirror
I hear Taco will be giving a presentation on state-of-the-art DDOS using blogs. The sample victim site apparently is defcon.org...
Science is dealt with as a religion on slashdot too, if you haven't noticed. GPL and Piracy are the other two main ones.
I'm just trying to say that normally they would mod you down for being so honest, but apparently somebody has had too much pizza tonight!
..and you've got us on your side ;)
Yes. Intel is learning from the centrino experience. The next round of processors will be very difficult to beat. Currently, the Core Duo for laptops eats anything AMD for breakfast.
Slogan should be:
And yes, of course it will work, not because we are human but because human consumers are generally stupid.

Ah yes, indirection is beautiful. Just think, there are people who have never used pointers..

Yes, and so can the calamity of having an entire national power network at the mercy of a shrubbery.

Here's a link showing how Israel is "destroying the enemy", as a response to the kidnapping of a couple of Israeli soldiers.
I have friends in Lebanon, and I hope you die a slow, virulent death.
