This is really simple. You'll notice that each replaced phase was a 0 or 1 -- a bit. So to scale to 256 you only need 8 (2^8)of those option phrases, or to 65536 16 (2^16) phrases. Such would be easy in an email the length that was posted.
As I read it Core Image does not cover video encoding, which is what this article was discussing. Decoding video, or just blting video is the same thing at all as encoding video. I'm not sure how new this is, but it is definitely impressive and new to me, and I work in video encoding business.
I'm sorry scuttlemonkney. But that doesn't make any sense. The current top rated post summarized this article very well. The only reason this was posted was to be able to claim the somehow macromedia was to stupid to disallow laptops into their EULA.
Of course this is just a oversight and not worthy of news, but the fact that you:
a: Posted this worthless submission. b: thought there would be "meaningful argument" about it: c: tried to defend this article as maybe not newsworthy but "discussion worthy".
seriously, this is a joke. Really honestly, what is the debat point here, how is this newsworthy or interesting? other then the debat about how this is not worth posting?

Visual Assist is still around and kicking ass. Me and anyone I've worked with uses it like a madman, it practically doubles the efficiency of coding in VC.
some highlights from Visual Assist: - Even BETTER Intilisense, no needing to create browse file, it instantly just pops up the function and arguments - Alt+H to instantly goto the definition of anything, a class, variable etc.. - Alt+O to switch between the.h and.cpp versions - Spell checking in comments - A pop up window that lists all the open windows with a realtime search. - Tons more I can't remember.

* OSX was released in 2001 and is based on FreeBSD * FreeBSD was started in 1993, it was based on 386BSD. * 386BSD was started in 1989 * 386BSD was based on BSD, which started in 1970's.
Linux was started in 1992. making it about 12 years younger then BSD.
This is all of course asinine, the real reason OSX does poorly as a server is because Apple has not giving a shit about making it run well as a server.
Thanks to this artical, maybe they will start giving a shit.
I Agree. However I don't think there will ever be a good solution with trying to secure the internet side of the equation, there are just so many tricks one can do with users and their perception of what is ok, until you make it user proof there is now real security.
I believe that the real solution to this is to make YOUR MONEY more secure, the weak link IMO is that credit cards fraud and identity theft are far to easy to get away with. Lets put in place a secure money system that does not rely on the security of the medium and we'll have a real solution.
I would like an online music store where I actually owned a license to the music I bought, not a file, not a format or a CD. I should be able to download the file as ogg, stream it as mp3, aac -- whatever. If I delete it from my harddrive I should just be able to download it again, or stream it at work.
This is the only way the music industry will ever got another nickel from me.
As am amateur cook and professional engineer I was very impressed with the layout. I can not tell you how many times I have misread a recipe because I skimmed the English looking for the next step. Last week I skipped 3 hours of a second rise on a bread I already spent 18 hours on, if only I had not missed that step! This layout is simply brilliant, ingredients on the Y, steps/time on the X. It couldn't be more strait forward. Now we just need to get EVERYONE doing this!
None of IE is in the kernel and that link says nothing to that effect. What is does say is that IIS has some kernel level optimizations, which is exactly the same thing tux in Linux does.

People had quite a different opinion back then, thought personally i think they just didn't want to deal with the fact that the new star ways just wasn't any good.
This project is going to fail, or at least be severely delayed. Why? Well most of the article talks about how they rewrote COM/COMBRA/KOM (etc..), creating their own IDL, their own protocol etc.. However the article is not about rolling your own ORB, it's about designing a MMORPG middleware, which can have little to nothing to do with an object broker.
They even start of the article with some nice pie in the sky requirements. Like a truly scalable world capable of "tens of thousands" of people in the same world realtime load balancing, dynamic world installation. And a bunch of other stuff that probably sounded nice in some brainstorming meeting, though I suspect has little to do with any actual game design.
In my experience this usually happens when the people involved don't really understand the problem they are trying to solve, so they end up writing general purpose architecture to solve whatever problem they eventually do understand, typically dooming the project in the meantime.

Teflon was actually invented by a DuPont scientist, Dr. Roy Plunkett. In 1938 he accidentally discovered Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) while trying to produce a better coolant gas. Since Polytetrafluoroethylene is not a very catchy name, Dr. Plunkett abbreviated it and Teflon(R) was born.
By the early 1950s, Marc Gregoir of Paris successfully applied Teflon to his fishing tackle hoping to minimize tangling. It was his wife who conceived the idea to apply Teflon to pots and pans. It would not be until the mid-1960s that Teflon-coated cookware was commonplace in the American kitchen.
The reason Mythic choose public mythology in the first place was to avoid copyrights, this was detailed in an interview with the founder back when DAoC was coming out.
Now looks like they would like to adopt a copyright on adopting public copyrights eh?

You should read up on Yonah's (aka Core Duo) virtualization technology. It should be very possible to run two or more OSs at almost full speed.

What does George Bush have to do with the cost of broadband?
yeah I thought the exact same thing, either he owned a store this was all bought as one mystery lot from an auction.

Shawn Fanning is no Justin Frankel. He's not even in the same league. Justin Frankel is a hero, Shawn Fanning is just some dope that got lucky.

Read the chart again, G5 lost on all tests.
according to them:
Athlon 64 vs. Apple G5 Systems: Not Even Close
Now i can't say whether these tests are any less or more objective, but they do draw a completely different conclusion.
