Last Friday I had the joy of going live with code that improved the execution time of an existing piece of code by 422%, and moved it from a batch process (which took more than 30 minutes to run, and only ran three times per day) to an online real-time process, thereby enabling users a [...]
Rockstar games announced recently that they will be bringing their hit title “Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis” to the Wii platform, utilizing the motion sensitive Wii controller that will undoubtedly produce a very addictive gaming experience.

I discovered this little gem of a home made video, of a librarian in the US as she installs Ubuntu on a donated PC in her library.

Dell’s announced the biggest thing that can happen to Linux w.r.t. mainstream desktop adoption yet, in a move that will ultimately reduce the size of the Windows desktop footprint and that will bring the traditionally geek OS to the masses.
There will be a whole spat of debates within the Linux community on which distribution they [...]
Widefox has apparently the most complete comparison between the 2 kernels mentioned above, covering all aspects from kernel and driver architecture, boot image, hardware architecture, multiprocessor limits, and a ton more. Head on over and take a look.
