It's rather interesting that every story I read advocating that any member of the eurozone should get out for one reason or other, was written by someone not in the eurozone.
I wonder if these people are trying to make the situation seem worse than it is in order to further drag down the value of the Euro. It certainly looks like that and I'm not one to believe conspiracies.
Yes, the situation is bad, but if the eurozone crumbles, every country involved will suffer. We would have trouble exporting goods and protectionist policies would be common.
Nope, it's not from Portugal. Judging from the portuguese text, I suppose it's a Brazillian search engine.
Either way, congratulations to the creators, it's rather nice. I found out that when the english locale is selected, some text still shows up in portuguese (like the text from advanced search).
A small bug I noticed: longer biographies aren't showing up in full [1]. Happens in both Chrome 5.0.375.17, Safari 4.0.5 and Firefox 3.6.2; OSX 10.6.3.
Yep, it does. Usually OSX gets everything right immediately after connecting my MBP to a TV, although sometimes (rarely, in my experience) it needs adjustment, but that only takes a couple of clicks.
I'd love to get one Henge Dock, but it seems they're only available for Unibody Macbooks. :(
This may be obvious, but they rely on all the needed ports being on the same side. On my non-unibody Macbook pro, power is on the left side and video is on the right side.
Also, I suspect a mini display port is much easier to snap into place than a DVI port.
It's a brand new app with 1 - 1.5 developers; give them a chance ;-)
The design is great. It's a bummer that Quicksilver development has ceased. Google QSB is cool, but it's also nice to see a free/ISV competitor pop up with a genuinely capable product.
I didn't mean to be too evil in my comment. I actually like the design and how fast it feels (not that QSB is slow). :)
I'll keep tuned for updates. It does seems promising, although it isn't yet complete enough for me (or for people who tend to use Quicksilver as more than just an application launcher).
EDIT: I just noticed Alfred uses very little memory (12.5MB after launching an app). http://grab.by/2V19
I remember the days when the entire BeOS operating system could run in 4 megs of ram. An application launcher running in 12.5 megs will never count as 'very little memory' to me.
Interesting since I got "Ask HN: Does my startup need to steal unicorn picture technology?" followed up with "Review my startup: www.makeunicornpicturetechnology.org". Looks like that unicorn picture technology making guy finally hit the big time.
When using a Pico FPGA cluster, however, each FPGA is able
to perform 1.6 billion DES operations per second. A cluster
of 176 FPGAs, installed into a single server using standard
PCI Express slots, is capable of processing more than 280
billion DES operations per second. This means that a key
recovery that would take years to perform on a PC, even
with GPU acceleration, could be accomplished in less than
three days on the FPGA cluster.
So, they managed to brute-force DES a lot faster. No crypto breakthrough, please move along. :)
This should have been titled "FPGA cluster brute-forces DES in record time" or something like that.
Even that isn't true. Deep Crack took 56 hours (matching the "less than three days" claimed in the article), while the combined Deep Crack + Distributed.Net effort took less than 24 hours.
Sorry, my bad. I didn't bother to research, just pulled that from the article.
Pico Computing has announced that it has achieved the
highest-known benchmark speeds for 56-bit DES decryption,
with reported throughput of over 280 billion keys per
second achieved using a single, hardware-accelerated server.
What can I say? Pico Computing likes to brag and Dr. Dobb's published an article about it. As you said in your first comment, there's nothing new about this.
