Also, in a corporate setting, if you make a call to a buddy in your building, chances are the data will be routed on your own private routers and never even hit the ISP. I'd say that was a big plus for P2P.
Not sure why you are getting up-votes for this. It isn't adding anything to the conversation other than obvious Microsoft bashing. The Pixel Sense technology is obviously quite new, so I'm not sure how they were…
Here's my first shot at a theory of how Pixel Sense might work There is an IR LED backlight as well as the regular white backlight. They have an additional per-pixel LCD shutter that blocks IR. The display repeatedly…
Yes you are right, the instruction timings were very exact as far as I remember. The only cases where there was an option was in the case of a branch taken or not.
Thanks for the correction, you're right A9 is load immediate I was mixing it up with AD xx xx which follows as 8D is the equivalent store. I wasn't saying that the accumulator was 16 bit though, rather that the load is…
Heh, yeah I still remember 6502 opcodes... 4C xx xx is jmp absolute, 20 xx xx is jsr (jump subroutine) absolute, A9 xx xx is load accumulator absolute, 8D store accumulator, 60 is rts... I could go on. Typing shit in to…
I loved the 6502. Around that era I programmed the SC/MP, Z80, the 8080 and the 6800. Although the Z80 was more powerful, the 6502 holds a special place in my heart as it was the first CPU I worked with and I loved the…
How about if Adobe helped make the decision in the first place? Let's say, Adobe realized Flash is on its last legs, that Apple hate them and their engineering staff have much greater alignment with Microsoft than any…
I used to be highly addicted to cell phones in the '90's. In 2005 I spent a year working overseas. When I got back I just never got around to buying a new phone. I have to say, it has been extremely liberating. So much…
Net neutrality is a concept founded upon a fantasy. The idea that we should all get the same priority on the Internet is ridiculous. It has always been the case (and always will be the case), that the more money you…
Measuring lines of code is valid. The only caveat is that you must be intimately aware of whose lines of code you are counting.
Maybe being able to buy virtual swag might be a better way to go for Reddit, in a similar fashion to Dungeons & Dragons Online. Tiny [icons] of narwhal tusks, lolcats or rashers of bacon that could appear next to…
I laid down $40. There was a thread in /r/lounge where people posted donation amounts. The average seemed to be around $10; however, there were donations as low as $0.01 and as high as $1000.
Not far at all! It's great to see someone else here on HN who is in a small Belgian town. There doesn't seem to be a lot going on here technically outside of Brussels. But I'm certainly wrong... I'm not native and find…
Heh Me too.. Where? I'm in Brugge.
I try to follow a simple rule.. Leave the code in a better state than I found it. Every time I submit a revision I try to include a change which improves an area of the code outside of my main focus. By doing this I am…
Luckily my wife and I are both developers. We've always worked together from corporations to a number of startups that we were involved in. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for a spouse who has to put up…
Thanks a lot for pointing this out, I've wanted this ability for years. My last company decided to change names and it caused me endless headaches migrating mail accounts.
