   I hope SCTP[1] starts to take off soon as a transport for protocols like this, so they don't have to keep working around the limitations of TCP. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCTP

   Additionally, the only mention I see of matter to energy conversion is an aside about efficiency of propulsion technology, not energy generation; it doesn't appear that they evaluate matter-energy conversion as an actual energy source at

   This paper appears to assume that no revolutionary changes in energy production make it vastly more available. Am I misreading it? With projects like polywell fusion reactors[1] showing great promise, I'm not sure if the conclusions drawn o

    > Not an obvious win as far as I can tell How ironic, then, that you got the brackets right on the second one but not the first one. Adding extra quotes and spacing confuses the issue needlessly, too.

    I also use and enjoy tup, which has the significant features of automatically constructing most of the dependency graph, and proven optimality and correctness for incremental rebuilds. Not to mention that it's highly usable standalone. Does

    Much as a game built on Unreal or Frostbite can trivially support Windows and a variety of consoles, a game built on a future version of Source could easily support OSX and Linux. Platform-specific code tends to be in the guts of the engine
