Well the Cell was a bit out there when it was conceived, and Larrabee's sort of in that position now. I guess Sony is trying to take the bad press that came from the Cell being "too difficult to code for" and going with it, still maintaining that multicore is the way to scale up performance. Good on 'em, I say (despite my overall negative feelings toward the company).
Nah, they should just require an old-style crank to be attached to every video camera that needs to be turned at a constant rate for the camera to work.
One thing I didn't see in that paragraph is the fact that you can track a laptop geographically, ie. a user has been visiting the White House page from Iraq and is now showing up from an IP in the US.

Are you mad!? If I were you, I'd be removing my spine and wrapping it in tin foil before reinstalling it - the thing's like a big downwards-pointing antenna for your brain!!
OTOH, if you pick a few reasonable-sized cities (not a "major" one) open to the idea, install the generators, and make a big fuss over "oh, how great is this cheap power, especially for my new Volt", then you can hit the "fluctuate power" button on some of the cities opposed to the idea and watch them cave.
You've got a point, having such a young Doctor will throw a new light on the Doctor-companion dynamic - Matt's younger than Freema Agyeman (Martha), and is the same age as Billie Piper (Rose), although he will be starting the show 5 years after she did. The relationship always had a "fatherly" element that stopped it going too far and getting in the way of the show.
I like how the Doctor's been getting younger and younger, but Matt is another large step again. It'll be interesting to see how the writing / style of the show changes to fit the new cast:)
Intel staff were the ones mainly responsible for implementing GEM, so their driver supports it. The open-source ATI drivers recently got a layer of glue to use GEM on the outside without changing much of the TTM-based code that was on the inside. I don't know what nouveau is up to, but the nvidia blob has had a lot of memory management stuff implemented independently for a while now in their X driver.
Well, what IS interesting, is that if the US defense force is using software as weapons, does that mean your constitutionally-explicit right to bear arms includes things like nmap and wireshark? Thus far, the "think of the children" crowd have been quick to label anyone "caught" with these "hacking tools" as evil terrorists, but in an age where a DOS attack on an infrastructure system could be a strategic prelude to sending in guys with guns (in an international war or a hypothetical civil conflict), I'd certainly see them as "arms".
lolz - GP was referring to the old adage that Windows fanboys used to bandy about, that "Linux is only free if your time has no value." - what's funny now is the opposite is true.
South Park takes the proverbial piss out of this stuff pretty well. So does the Simpsons - the statue of David never came with an instruction manual directing people how to interpret it, but somehow people called it art instead of porn until the conservative extremists got some media bandwith to play with.
Also notice the eyes dropped in most of the touched-up photos, and were rotated to sit horizontally - interesting to look at, I'd like to see what 'designer' plastic surgeons would have to say about that
Meh, instead of a technical network like that, where everyone's living in fear of being shut down, I'd rather a more logical/social network, where people can, get this... create free music under CC/similar licenses and let other people actually listen to it...
I got to it without any problems - did you check your internets?
Anyway, this looks pretty neat - I have coding skills I've been itching to flex, but I've never really been involved with a big development project, so some janitorial work could be fun:)
It's lame because games should work under linux. It's not necessarily you being lame, it's either game developers being lame by not porting their games, Windows being lame that it's hard for the Wine crew to implement it with the exactness needed for games, or both, if the lame games are using bits of Windows that are lame when stuff like OpenGL could help.
It's lame that people feel like they're being held hostage by an operating system that they don't otherwise want, and it's lame that MS is making money off that. If you actually want Windows for one reason or another, then it's not lame at all.

yeah, with the way things are going, I looked at the headline and thought it was news because they were installing new POSIX-compliant cameras...
I know what a secure proxy is, you insensitive clod!

I want CCTVs to state in a loud, offcial voice "I see you, [Insert Name]!".
...and when you knock them down, they should remind you that they "don't hate you".

I saw it too, the only thing I noticed is that at the time the story had 0 replies. Maybe it means "hot off the press"?

Phoronix follows a lot of this stuff well.
With Red Hat you can go to a website and it will list all your systems and whether they need patching.

if you gain a new weapon, level, or ability, you want to feel supremely powerful for a little while
Hehe - when I'm playing an engaging FPS and I come across a new weapon, I tend to get scared.

So did Asus recently with their EEE acronym - I reckon they should ditch the slogan for the WinXP variants :P
All Perl needs is a shiny new catch phrase...

CloudPerl?
Extreme Perl?
Perl#?
