I disagree. I've had the same yahoo.com address for a really long time and am not about to switch to something else simply because some other online email provider has become poplular. I belive that if you're working with someone dumb enough to make a professional assesment based on the domain of your email address, well... you go work for those guys, because they're probably a bunch of dumb shits. So let me put it this way. If you're interviewing someone for a job which email would you be most inclined to think represents the more "professional" person: JoeStrummer@aol.com or Pharmboy@tanningbeds4less.com

An Open Source Compiler From CUDA To X86-Multicore 71

Gregory Diamos writes "An open source project, Ocelot, has recently released a just-in-time compiler for CUDA, allowing the same programs to be run on NVIDIA GPUs or x86 CPUs and providing an alternative to OpenCL. A description of the compiler was recently posted on the NVIDIA forums. The compiler works by translating GPU instructions to LLVM and then generating native code for any LLVM target. It has been validated against over 100 CUDA applications. All of the code is available under the New BSD license."

T-Mobile already has droid phones. I bought an HTC Magic with android 1.6 from craigslist. The phone WILL NOT operate without a sim card. On bootup, it just sits and says no sim card. The only thing you can do is dial 911. I went to t-mobile, and they gave me the same as verizon. I had to get the most expensive plan they could dream up. I paid $60.00 to get a SIM card and now I have a droid phone and no lock-in. Since I didn't get any subsidized phone from them, I have no contract. Now from here you can do a couple things. 1. You can get an unlock code. This apparently removes the t-mobile lock-in. I've never don't it, but I'm almost certainly going to try it. 2. You can "root" it. This allows you to take any droid image and flash in onto the phone. I've have absolutely no experience with doing this, but there are articles on the web with detailed instructions. * I don't know if 1 is required to do 2. If you want to phone for hacking, I just laid out the plan for you. Buy one used from ebay or craigslist or wherever, get a month-to-month SIM card (if you don't already have one). and you're off and running. One more thing. All these posts about how verizon sucks with their cancellation fees, nickel-and-diming you for everything, making it impossible to figure out what you're going to be charged for is exactly what these people want to turn the web into.

Comment Re:Why is OS/2 mentioned twice in the article? (Score 1) 875

Anyone who has ever been to Lowe's home improvement store will quickly recognize that the terminals all over the place are running OS/2. I'm cure it's probabl eComStation or whatever they call now... I swear I saw it at Bed-Bath-And-Beyond also, another chain retailer that sells household stuff. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Warp.
