   Good points. Indulge me for a minute while I try to formulate what they might say in response: most of the complexity of an OS is device drivers. You're right, the basics of process isolation, scheduling, and resource allocation are pr

   Thanks for saying this! It's worth pointing out the economic benefit to whoever invents the Next Big Thing -- if they make it compatible with existing conduit, it can just be pulled through replacing existing infrastructure. It turns o

   I came to say the same; my application differs but the breakthrough is not SaaS, it's Moore's law even while Dennard scaling is running out. I specifically mean the density at minimum cost per transistor. ARM cores are now providi

   I think there is a semantic problem with just throwing out the words "net neutrality," because I see two different sides pulling in two different directions. I think no one is opposed to ISPs operating in their customer's bes

   You should check OpenStreetMap.org's quality in your area. (iPhones use it, last I heard.) Los Angeles should be pretty good. The other option, Google Maps over a cell data connection, might be workable but that's competing with j

   I understand what you're saying, that the situation is not completely clear-cut (especially what Broadcom is doing). But Intel has most definitely documented their GPU registers and hardware – not just the intel open source driver: ht

   Along with all the good responses to your question, it's worth pointing out that Intel has completely open-sourced their driver and GPU, and ATI has open-sourced their GPU and produced a driver that can do about 90% of what the closed-

    I kind of inserted "because Valve, Steam, and Linux" into his statements about OpenGL versus DirectX, and then I was better able to understand where he's coming from. I mean, you don't really think he has no idea what he

    You are quite right. But my posting history has led some to label me as naive... I think it's closer to the truth to say: Truth, Trust, and Transparency are always differentiators but the reality is they are only subjectively quantifia

    True. It's always going to be difficult to identify all the causes of an accident with the conflicts of interest. Just getting the 40% number was very difficult – number of fatalities with non-zero blood alcohol is easy to find but num

    Thank you! The article asks the question of which way should the car swerve, when physics indicates that attempting to alter course takes available tire frictional force away from the braking maneuver. Most modern roads are designed so that

    I wonder how heavily dI/dt events weighed on Intel in deciding to integrate the voltage regulator on-die in Haswell? Tech Report [1] says the FIVR (Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator) is for: • higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple •

    Wouldn't it be that clients behind a NAT might end up attempting to connect from the same source address:port (the NAT box), or a load balancer would make connections all from the same address? i.e. when you have to deal with NAT, ther

    I think it's interesting how he compares Haswell to his 32-bit Core Duo. Haswell: 1050 cycles / 80.7% CPU time on his microbenchmark Core Duo: 940 cycles / 58% CPU time on his microbenchmark

    Try not to use acronyms; it's jarring to have to pause, go look up "Sweet Fuck All," and resume. Thanks though, for pointing out that Google is choosing to pour their efforts into finding new areas of profit outside search. O

    If you had as much money, would you not also spend some of it on lobbying? I believe Google's actions were defensive in nature. I despise our politicians who will take "contributions" and ignore the people who elected them; s

    Anyone have any more information than I do about the AAPL vs. GOOG question? For quite a while, AAPL and GOOG traded blows in the mid-hundreds range and both generally rallied 2000-2008. As of right now, they're still quite competitive

    I guess I'm going to err on the side of hope, so for me it seems wired does have some sort of inside information. Not very much, apparently. But a pre-product announcement from Google doesn't mean much, since they work on so many

    Sounds interesting! But would the company be able to build brand? First, to find expats would be somewhat difficult as they tend to blend in! Second, the company would need to be careful which people they hired, so they might be able to sta
