Seems the article confuses the raw symbol rate with delivered L3 bandwidth (as evidenced by the testbench comment in the beginning). See eg. http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/08/08/w

Other platforms doing this include Python, Erlang, Perl, and C#. "Batteries included" works very well in many cases. Having a single de-facto dominant implementation helps.

An easy way to get temperature controlled water with a standard kettle is to figure out how much cold water you need to add to the bottom of your mug before filling it with (just-boiled) water from the kettle. If you want more accuracy, you

Also, AMD has chosen to fab Kaveri in a bulk process that trades off clock frequency for density (-> more chips/wafer -> cheaper). The HSA stuff could really be something exciting if they can get the software and OS support. Winn

The remainig issue for many of those is "need better GC". Apps like games could be brought in with near-pauseless GC that currently seems to exist only in Java land. (Yes you can work around the current GC's but this drives a

A router's job is to forward traffic between its multiple interfaces to ensure packets get where they are addressed to go. They generally look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cisco-CCNA-CCNP-LAB-2500-2501-ROUTER

Microsoft "nmake" is unrelated to the AT&T-originated Unix "nmake", which you may be thinking of. (people rarely even attempt nontrivial Makefiles that are portable between BSD and GNU makes though...)

I'd wager machine room fan noise has at last as much entropy, since office sounds are pretty structured and usually mostly quiet. In any case there's a significant amount of noise from the a/d conversion even when recording a

You get no (compatible) make on MSVC. More imporantly, whith nontrivial dependencies to third party libraries, self-coded makefiles just break down. Cross-platform handling of dependencies is fragile and makes drudgery. You're liable t

The traditional argument for high level languages is that you can try many more things in the same time, and that you can focus more of your cognitive faculties on the business problem at hand. But C guides you to simplify, and gives you co

Someone needs to dig up pre-ELF binaries for NetHack and XPilot and we can have a backwards compatiblity race, on latest versions of Ubuntu and Windows. Linux has a better chance now that Windows has dropped 16-bit support :)

Wasn't HTTP pipelining supposed to fix the round trip problem circa 1999. If everyone has given up on that, maybe HTML5 needs to bring back .jar files for JS or something.
