I just wish they would finally come up with something that is production-ready.

There are so many uses for FFT, it’s not even funny. And all normal algorithms always will be imperfect and slow.

Instant FFT (and inverse FT) would (also) instantly change the world.

Make sure you socialise across any groups that are in your workforce. Do not hid this fact from fractions that dont get along, both sides will still respect you so long as you do not gosip about them.

Never be caught agreeing to or patcipating in gosip, just a quit 'uhur'. Plausible deniability works wonders, espicaly across the above mentioned fractions. Baicly listen to, but keep your mouth shut. This bonds you to the speeker of said gosip in your favor.

Where ever posible share in socal activeis with coworkers, even if its just lunch. *Do* talk to other staff mebers about your life and thier own.

However at the end of the day, you will not get along with everyone, dont push your self on that one person who for what ever reason dosn't like you, they will either come around or not. You can not make them like you. But by behaving and acting at lest nice, you can earn a usable amount of respect.

In one job I worked 3 years next to a staff member who if they where on fire, I would of run to the nerest gas station and goten more fule for. This lady left on her fianly day not knowing that I hated her guts, and infact after she left and still visited it took over 9 months for me to let it slip that I hated her guts.

That was a minor mistake, and thankfully didnt come back to haunt me.

Adobe MIGHT have flash working on Android by the Q4 2010, don't hold your breath. When would that update reach users?

If Adobe's practices are like every other software outfit's, obviously that would mean the update would reach users by about Q3 2010.

It would be like a whole fraction of a millimeter across! Careful! You'll step on the datacenter!

Yellow is the closest to luma, and most data encoded into most video or images encode the luma most heavily, red and blue are shown in reduced resolution because chroma is less significant than luma. Most one-chip cameras also have two green color cells with a single blue and red color cell because green is closest of the three to encoding luma information. I can see future chips using yellow, red, green and blue to provide better information to the encoder.

Safer? If you call security theater and constant fearmongering safety, then yes. But we lost a lot of freedom for that illusion of smoke and mirrors.

You keep saying it's not hardware abstraction, and then go on to say how cloud computing abstracts the hardware. Whatever, dude; you clearly get a kick out of lecturing people and talking down to them - I'm glad I don't actually have to work with you in real life.

Btw, are you talking about ScyId? I would get some amusement out of you consistently misspelling what you're name dropping, but it's also possible I just don't know what I'm looking for :)

well, yes, of COURSE!

One of only twelve states? That's nearly 1/4 of all states. I wouldn't call that "only".

As a Oracle customer that runs Linux I can say that cost savings plays a lot into it given that I have a named user license for 10g allowing me to run many servers in a RAC providing real up-time. Because I don't have to pay for licenses on every server I get the benefit of high availability without the usual costs and for a relatively small business that means a lot! I can state that Oracle runs just as well on Windows as it does on Linux as I run both for mitigation purposes and because it's convenient to have a single log shipping server for both Oracle and SQL Server which I'm required to run for our general ledger application which accounting purchased without consulting me.

Since I work on Mac, play on Windows and have some devices like a dvd/divx player and a ps3 for play/video, I am restricted mostly to Fat32 for R/W on OSX and Windows.
I ended up carrying a 160G drive 80/80 gigs for Mac OS Journaled and Fat32......

In fact I had a dilemma with Firewire and USB, so I got aMacally enclosure that has both.
Oh yes, like that I sometimes end up copying stuff from partition to partition.

At least the PS3 can stream videos from my Mac share, so I am covered with that one, and unless it is something huge I just shove it over my gigabit hub (Time Capsule)

It would be nice to buy a new sonic game that doesn,t suck. Some of the best times I had growing up was playing Sonic and Knuckles with my dad. It would be cool to be able to do that with my children.

I think it's Falun Gong

Wow, that was bland, creepy and forgettable...
