I'm 5 minutes into the talk and he still hasn't said anything even close to interesting but has made a complete ass of himself. I didn't RTFA, but it must be pretty bad if this is "much better".
I'd hate to say it, but you might want to SERIOUSLY consider managed code. You could build some of the parts in C++ if need to be, but doing it purely in C++ seems like a bad idea to me. You're asking for a silver bullet that just doesn't exist...but managed code is getting faster and can be pretty stable.
Valid question or not, it still is flamebait. Whether it was intentional flamebait could be debated, but it was definetly flamebait. Anyone reading the post obviously saw that the guy was looking for ways to make OO work to replace it, so obviously 'just keep it' was the easy answer that had already been ruled out.
As long as we're on that topic, tripple DES is no where near 256bits. It's actual key length is 64*3 = 192, but in reality the strength is equivilant to 112 bit encryption.
That's the only news show I watch. But the reason is simple: the other news shows are physically painful to watch. Personally, the way I feel about the current political and news environment is just about dead on with Jon Stewart, and I think the same is for many 'young people' like me. But let's get something else straight, the Daily Show is not around for news; delivering news is more of a by-product.
Just think of how much money that tower must be making the cell company for them to pay you $50K a month. Personally, it's too much for my head to handle.
Absolutely. John Dvorak is the single biggest idiot in the PC business in my oppinion. He either says the obvious or says BS. Too bad for Skype that HE had to endorse them.
I'd hate to say it, but this Ask Slashdot is retarded. The most pci express channels that I've seen any consumer chipset support yet is 20x, and 2*16 = 32. Soon, there should be dual core FX's, but you'll need to go opteron if you want dual 64bit cpu's. That much ram is no issue and can be found on nearly every mother board, but this guy FOR SURE has more money than brains.
I completely, 100% agree. For my desktop, I've found debian to be too far behind the curve for me, but for servers it's rock solid. Any other distro would have to pay me in order for me to deal with their software on my server.
Same here. We've got a 300 PC network running off of one DG/Squid server and its usage is very low. I'm sure you could run ClaimAV on it and still be fine, and it's only a 1GHZ machine with 512MB ram. Check out yahoo groups for the two official mailing lists. You'll want the non-dev one. Search the archives first because there's a lot of people doing the same setup.
It sounds like volume equalization is what microsoft calls compression. Compression is where the amplitude of music is altered depending on the average amplitude of the last few moments of music. It's basically like the device/computer has its hand on the volume nob and tries to keep the volume comming out at the same level, which is exactly what the poster described. Any good sound editing program has compression effects and I would be supprised if many audio players didn't offer it as well. I know my creative nomad has the feature available. FYI, audio compression is also what radio stations use to make their station sound louder.
Anyway, http://www.aberdeeninc.com/abcatg/2UServers.htm (the 64 bit one there) is a sample option. I'm not sure who you're calling, but this shouldn't be too hard to get taken care of.
Are you kidding? I never could get into Enterprise and always thought it was the worst of the franchise. Although the earlier seasons of Deep Space Nine were good, the later seasons made it, without a doubt in my mind, the best of the ST francises. TNG is probably my second favorite, but Riker Troi are probably the two characters I liked the least. Go figure.
At work, we have a couple 3com switches and a bunch of HP's. The 3com switches are absolutely horrible, but the HP switches are absolutely awesome. For much less than a Cisco switch, the HP switches have pretty much identical features, but are easier to configure. (They provide a Cisco compatible command line interface, web interface, and a menu driven interface.) I'd really recommend HP switches. From what I hear, 3com switches are better now, but I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in about them.
Have you ever tried to work with crystal space or looked at the source code? Last time I did (several years back) it was one of the biggest messes of code that I've ever seen. I gave up on it too soon to understand it very well, but from what I could see, it was not designed very well and was consistantly a few steps behind commercial engines. On the other hand, it seems that Irrlicht is well designed and should scale well over time. It also appears to have developers that are making progress much faster than crystal space. Basically what I'm getting at is that crystal space 3d was never a viable candidate for a real game.

Amen!
I think this is more a case of 'slow news day'.
I personally can attest to this being dead on.

Where did you go to school? Around here CS is way up there in dificulty, though the school of technology is a subtle joke.
All three are pretty much here today. Unfortunately, it's hard to get both b and c for a super good price (a).

Is this the first time? It can't be more than the second or third.
Nope, only 1-65535 :-)
It's SIM, but whatever. For the most part you're right.

Actually, it's 20% of their time.
Well, maybe you should have RTFP (read the ... post)! :-)
