>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

This article isn't about how much RAM Firefox needs when *running*, it's talking about how much RAM Microsoft Visual Studio uses when *compiling* (actually, linking) Firefox.

We aren't talking about Microsoft Certified Whatever People here.. the Civil Engineering PE licensing process is actually pretty good at testing for knowledge and expertise in the subject area. Civil Engineering is a relatively straightforward discipline to test knowledge on with agreed upon best practices, etc, PE is a professional license which requires a degree in the field, years of practical experience and then a pretty extensive exam process.

Did I mention it's a license? You don't just lose your piece of paper if you fuck up, you are held personally liable. You can go to jail for it.

Western District of Wisconsin's court is in Madison (right down town) and there's plenty of tech here - if you count biotech.

Still don't know why they'd file in Wisconsin though. Motorola is in Chicago.. perhaps their law firm has an office up here?

That's just cheating.

Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

Nope. It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Linux is dying.

Ah, ok. In the future if you're in need of an NLE that can do S3D natively, Sony Vegas 10 was just announced and has a full S3D workflow.

What are you using to produce this?

The 3 ghz clock applies only to parts of the processor die. And not the entire thing at that.

The PCIe clock rate is by default 100mhz. Engineering motherboard traces to do much more than that is a real pain because noise becomes a problem. Incidentally, dealing with noise is a large part of why PCIe uses multiple serial connections rather than one large parallel connection to increase bandwidth. Still, there's a physical limit to how many traces you can put on the motherboard.

PCIe is pretty damn fast, but there's a lot of overhead and lag to getting data from main memory out to the card and back. Once you set up the transfer though, it's fast. The problem for a lot of software developers is redesigning your software to deal with that lag.
