14) Something smarter than us is going to emerge Thank you, algorithms and cloud computing. Really? I respected Coupland before I read that. I thought blithely throwing around buzzwords was beneath him.

For anyone unfamiliar with it, many wifi issues can be taken care of with a little research and the compat-wireless ( http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download ) downloads. Very easy to patch in the latest drivers for your chipset.

That's how their version numbers work - 9.10 was released in October 09, 9.04 in April 09, etc.

Well, part of the reason why TI hardware is required and not just graphing software is that students often need something they can take home with them. Laptops running GNU/Linux, despite having no software costs, will still be significa

I don't. I might if I ever need any info on algorithms in the future, but I'd wager that there are quite a few professional programmers on here who, not being in college anymore, don't really need to read academic papers.

I try not to get too worked up over press releases but it seems like they have a working prototype of this device - and that makes me excited.

I do - because many parents weren't raised to read themselves.

Interesting article, but one of the most confusingly-organized pieces of science coverage I have run across lately.

Another possible definition that 15% of the developers in the world are using that language at a point in time. Based on these, I listed C, C++, Java, C#, COBOL, VB, Perl, PHP and Javascript as Big Languages. As an aside, are Perl and PHP

Is 'all-in boffin barney' a respectable news phrase in Australia?

The title may be a little broad (his concerns are mostly in certain use cases, not in general) but he definitely raises some real concerns.

Why should they be "held responsible" to try untested technology? Better to spend their resources on things that are known to work (and will work now), and contribute to a general R&D fund or something like that.

I enjoyed the article, but does the phrase "Break Glass in Case of Google Turning Evil" even appear anywhere on the page?

That wouldn't disallow them from screening in the pre-interview stage though, would it? If the company sees something on Facebook that they don't like, it'd be virtually impossible to prove what effect it had on their decision to not interv

Sorry to say, but "Error establishing a database connection" is only 5 words.

I'm sure this is far from the first time something simple got messed up because of a mistake with data entry. Implying that Congress "didn't even bother to name it" seems a bit unnecessary.

I think that's kind of a woeful generalization. The most vocal members of the population certainly have something like that, but plenty of people who play games (myself included) bought SC2 because they were happy enough with the content an

1. I avoid leaving it around in public places. 2. If I were to think about leaving it in a public place, I'd think of ways to make people not want to steal it - it's a laptop, it takes about 2 seconds for someone to grab it and run if it'

And lose out on whatever chance they had of making a decent profit? I doubt that this jailbreak ruling is going to result in a spate of common-joe iPhone hacking.

I was under the impression (could be remembering something wrong, however) that sorting algorithms had a provable (or at least strongly believed) best-case of O(nlogn), and that we already have algorithms that meet that. If that is correct,

Yes. The "use original title" rule would work just fine in this case.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Those real-time versions for modelling packages tend to be really rough approximations using the same code, and not worth the time it would take to optimize for a real, resource-restricted environment like a gaming co

The article seems to have the wrong idea about what that engine is. While impressive, it was developed using ICE - a rendering package addon for Softimage, and is probably not able to be calculated in anything remotely resembling real-time.

One of the best things about this is they've made the videos unlisted (at least some of them - the one's I've browsed anyway) on YouTube. Relatively pure, realtime feedback on their ads has to be pretty fantastic for the team.

That's pretty fascinating. At least in my own experience, I talk to myself without actually making any sounds when I am thinking (in my head, so to speak). I never really thought that others would do it differently until this post.
