Remember, some years ago, when Microsoft was spewing that Linux is cancer? It's the best kind of benevolent growth to hit our industry, for quite a while. Thank you, Linus & Richard! :)

What good is all this speed when they keep blocking interesting sites? This kind of bandwidth is only good to seed / share large things and we get blanket bans here in the UK on all kinds of torrent and other sites. I'd rather be with a smaller ISP which doesn't block things and has a lesser bandwidth allowance than with these guys, who make it harder and harder to have freedom on the net.

Wow straight to the "race to the bottom" hey mate? Your masters have trained you well... Why instead of condemning false advertising, do you excuse it as a common practice..?

Heheh... well, designing c++ templates, in my mind, ranks as low as Java genetics design....

"uncomfortable with the amount of personal and financial information Apple wants to collect about its customers." - Apple executive
Yeah, right. F$$$ you Apple.

I've seen this movie, it's not great... Just a stoner movie. That is all. It probably had a net gain from all the kerfuffle as of late, but still, I couldn't recommend it. Cohen's "The Dictator" was much better, and that wasn't amazing either.

Given NVIDIA's terrible reputation of open sourcing code (remember Linus' middle finger anyone?), I for one welcome our new GPU overlords...

Hah! Keep saying that to yourself buddy. And keep buying Apple, someone's got to prop up this economy.

It's not unsubstantiated you moron, read the experiences of other people in this forum above/below and stop religiously buying Apple shit. Or dont. I don't care.

'Nuff said!

You have a point. But this is goes deeper. It's about keeping salaries down, and IT salaries have been stagnated. So it's working...

Freaking joke of a language? It's the number 1 or 2 language in use today (along with C) if you consult language ranking sources... The reason it stood still for a few years is due to Sun going under. But we can't complain. Sun created Java and languages directly inspired by it (such as C#) owe a lot to them.

If Oracle wins the suit, this project will be liable for damages to Google :) A brave new world indeed!

Sorry, but this is the most awful example I've heard of how Twiter can be a useful "service"... What's the moral of the story? She didn't have to send the text multiple times? Or that she didn't get billed for multiple texts? She could always call or text directly...

Let's not forget the underhanded tactics that Intel used. They were forced to pay a minimal $1bn to AMD for it. I always thought its too small an amount for losing their position as leaders in the CPU market. And now look how things turned out...
