Comment The Silmarillion (Score 1) 325

First there was Peter Jackson vs New Line Cinema. Then there was HarperCollins Publishers Ltd. and JRR Tolkien Estate vs New Line Cinema. No doubt there will be a few more lawsuits before they start producing the film adaptation of Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" (in at least two parts, of course).

You know, it really seems relevant, because it's parallel computing. It's interesting how you describe it as "combining thread pools with queues of closures". Kudos to you. Unfortunately, my score was (1) and your score was (2) so now this part of the thread is buried so deep down that nobody will ever read it.

The Playstation 3 is a great machine -- I'm just not thrilled that they do not yet have backward compatibility with Playstation 2 games. Honestly, I want to play Shadow of the Colossus on the Playstation 3 with the new emulation technology http://kotaku.com/5304117/sony-patents-method-to-emulate-ps2-on-ps3 that will probably improve the straining frame rates in the game. If they were really serious about the new machine, they would adopt something similar to Grand Central Dispatch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.6#Grand_Central_Dispatch then they would get SO much more support from developers.
