Isn't that what the posters are talking about? APIs like Paypal and Google Checkout do redirect you to a payment site hosted by the API provider.

Yeah, CUDA does this already as far as I know. Kernels you write in their version of restricted C can be transparently called as CPU code if you don't have an available physical CUDA device.

Simple rules can give rise to complex behaviour. Who knows what the botnet might do? It could have harmonic resonances, it could have phase changes at critical infection rates, it could do all sorts of interesting and complex behaviour. Looking at the source code won't tell you any of this.

There is slashcode, but that project seems to be stagnant. http://www.slashcode.com/

Also some of the features they've been aiming for are pretty complex and don't have a proper implementation yet (like Concepts - good an idea as it is) - hence they're trying to standardize from thin air.

One of the pastebin-type sites may well fit your criteria - some of them include revisions or even test-running code.

Have you seen SL's graphics? It'd make more sense to use a FPS engine if they want something that looks good and runs well, not that piece of shit.

You have to pre-generate and store the chains.

Yeah, just get a nice big widescreen LCD (like 24"+) and you'll wonder what you were worrying about.

But if it's a direct port of Lucene presumably it's using the same algorithms and has similar code quality - hence it provides a good direct comparison of the language speeds and such a comment is legit.

Markets only happen if that which is being traded is scarce. Pollution credits are not a natural commodity, and they are effectively infinite without regulation.

Also, as someone points out below, http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1282009&cid=28470091, you don't use the same algorithm as before - but you instead "encrypt" the algorithm so it's working in the same space as the encrypted data. I'm sort of imagining some sort of encrypted virtual machine. Otherwise some of the flaws being talked about would be an issue.

So you're saying that we should all quit our jobs and cease production in order to help people find jobs? Imagine that, an economy entirely made up of homeless shelters.

Definitely sound good. I'm currently making a map and don't really look forward to learning Lightwave to model lots of fiddly bits rather than using brushwork in Hammer, and Sketchup sounds ideal for it.

Given that amount of post-release content that Valve releases, and that since Microsoft charges significant amounts to the developer for anything beyond a free initial patch they don't patch as often on PC - it's not that wise to get any Valve game that you could get for PC.
