they'll reply "god isn't 'somebody', he is god"

That's why i initially said it's a flawed way to keep a site up.

I think the greatest mistake in the history of computing is microsoft releasing a stupid OS for a multitasking-multiuser capable cpu (286). It became ridiculously popular and the desktop computer managed to make the leap and go multitasking (amongst other things) more than a decade later, which, in computer terms, is longer than forever.

Yeah, but this time, the ISA is complete, the *actual hardware* though doesn't exist and it is not very likely it will change a lot (besides bugs and optimisations, i would guess).

so the design exists, the software is ready for it (as ready as it can be, considering that only the specification exists) but a hardware instance doesn't yet exist.

Sorry i can't describe it any more accurate, english is not my mother tongue.

Must be one of the few times in history where the software was ready to run before the actual hardware existed.

is not the manufacturing. it's "working" it.

it is not art. it is not gaming. it is a business.

Wow, that's lame...

I, as many others I'm sure, expected this to be a "proper" linux port for devices that previously ran the whole android deal.

the MOST IMPORTANT thing that you are missing is that games on the pc are largely singlethreaded, that is why the fourcore i5 is slightly better choice for a gaming rig than the 8350

however, this move by sony will force developers to actually USE the eight cores of the amd64 cpu in order to get performance out of the 2GHz eight-core cpu

you can imagine what this means for pc gaming.

he was downmodded for the attitude, not the information.

if a person can't keep their cool during a discussion they annoy me. I suspect you don't see it very differently.

fair enough... ... no connectivity either, or at least tightly controlled connectivity.

AAAAAAAAGH!!!

... why are mission critical devices connected to the internet

sure we know that the weakest link is the meatware, not the hardware, but still...

the stalker game series: all game scripting and i think even the ai of npcs is in lua.

"modifying software written in C is hard for users."

i thought *users* had no business writing device drivers?

of course if they had said "modifying software written in C is hard for programmers." it would gather a fierce shitstorm.
