Well....maybe

Take a look at this for a great "from the first principles" discussion on comms in nuc environments.

http://www.itk.ntnu.no/fag/TTK...

That's why I said "make that source zero CO2" - carbon neutral hydrocarbon fuels.

1. Depends on the type of trip. I don't do family trips but instead business and there I stop only when the tank is dry (after ~500 miles) and only for ~20 minutes. An EV that needs 30 minutes every 150 miles would cost me an additional >1 hour on top of that.

2. I'm well aware that the majority of charging done at home. However, here we were talking about Superchargers, which are for long trips, so I compared that to a gas station. Home chargers, are much slower, taking 4-8 hours typically to charge. This means you need to plan ahead. If the next morning you find out you need to make a long trip and didn't charge (or forgot to), you're stuffed. With a hydrocarbon fuel car, you don't need to do that. Oops? Empty tank? No problem, just do a quick 5 minute stop at the nearest service station and be on your way. It's the fact that a hydrocarbon car gets out of your way that makes them so convenient.

3. Here's a paper on its production by way of electrolysis of water and CO2. Iceland has conducted a feasibility study with the following conclusions:

- There are no technical or environmental concerns to go forward with the planned project of the construction of the DME plant.
- Production cost (CAPEX/OPEX) is at a fairly attractive value taking into consideration the contribution to Icelandic society.
- This project is considered to be feasible, subject to a strong and dedicated support by the Icelandic government.

2.4 times more nuclear power plants and uranium mining

I happen to think that nuclear is the way forward, but not in its current form. We need high-temp reactors which give >700C waste heat - that's already good enough to give an appreciable contribution to high-temp electrolysis. Higher efficiency reactors use orders of magnitude less fuel and the waste heat from them is also a considerable resource, so yeah, there are ways to move forward without any increase in Uranium mining. Meanwhile, don't forget to account for lithium and cadmium (and other metal) mining and refinement in the accounting for batteries.

maybe they want controllable to the point of a safely retrievable and significant (by mass, not necessarily nature) payload?

Sure, maybe they do? I read their goals though, that's not in there anywhere. They want to set an altitude record, prove the aerodynamics work, and the meteorology simulations. Their third goal goal of inspiring young people might somehow justify putting a person in it. Anyway, if as you said they want to prove it can carry some weight, throw in a fancy video camera or something, of heck, even a rock accomplishes that as well as a person does. If your first choice of example significant mass is a human, it makes me wonder...

Also, human reflexes can adapt to unexpected aerodynamic situations much more intuitively than a computer can (I personally don't know of any system which can make an autonomous recovery from a flat spin), which ironically makes the mission more survivable.

Bullshit. They are going to have extensive practice flights to learn to control this monster, its not intuitive human reflex. They could just as easily train a computer to fly it. With one simple google search I found this paper that covers research for spin recovery algorithms for autonomous planes, specifically mentioning

"In flying manned aircraft, recovery from
spins (and flat spins) requires moving control surfaces in
non-intuitive directions, generally speeding up the descent
in order to increase airflow over the control surfaces,
reinstate control, and subsequently pull up into level flight."

Then goes on to cover their work deriving and optimizing spin recovery algorithms for autonomous planes. This is not the first work in the area, and its not new. A computer can do a near optimal exit from a flat spin these days, while humans often screw it up and require special training to not do exactly the wrong thing (since the correct thing is counter intuitive!). I don't get why people thing they are magically better than a computer at physics simulation with a fixed set of sensor inputs... For cars the hard problem is recognizing all the objects and traffic: flying planes is just basic physics. I'm a computer engineer: I'm confident over the time of a flight-school I could code a better pilot then I could become especially for that kind of plane.

Any if you want a person controlling it (seems silly to me), they can do that from the ground: wanting a human in control does not all all provide a reason to put on onboard. The latency is small, and they already have a radio link. And how is sitting in a office flying via radio less survivable than being in the plane...

As to cabin safety, it's as simple as a pressure suit and a parachute. Remember we're dealing with an experimental aircraft here, not the First Class cabin on a Delta flight.

Chairs, physical steering controls, redundant re breathers, oxygen, physical instrument displays, windows etc. Then theres things like doors, labels, handles etc. The cockpit adds a lot of drag and wright too. You could remove all these if you ditched the people (and save a ton of weight and shape constraints). Also having people onboard limits flight duration (there is no bathroom, room for food, water or sleep). A plane like this could easily fly for days if they left the people off: Its riding wind patterns that are permanent.

There really isn't any way of knowing. The possibility of a weakness with the elliptic curve cryptography is only suspected, suggested, not proven.

Wrong.

Weaknesses have already been academically shown. Both the fact that it's remarkably slow (for the quality of the produced pseudorandom bitstream) and the fact that it displays backdoor-like properties has been shown elsewhere. Contrast that with DES which, although there were suspicions that the design of its S-boxes might have had ulterior motives (which, again, is a FAIR assumption whenever the design guidelines of cryptographic primitives is not transparent), has never been actually proven to actually contain backdoor-like properties (unlike Dual_EC_DRBG).

And, well... I'm not even taking into account the Snowden leaks that strongly suggest that NSA has been subverting standards and coercing companies to weaken their cryptographic algorithms (like this one by Reuters).

Good 'ol Bruce has said that there is nothing in the Snowden leaks to prove that the actual crypto algorithms have been weakened. As far as anyone knows all that NSA has done is try to spread the use of it, which may be because they think that it is better.

[citation needed] on that one. Besides, "good ol' Bruce" has been, from the start, one of the people that kept warning against the use of Dual_EC_DRBG. Why use a slow and inefficient PRNG that has known biases (and possible number-theoretical backdoors), when you can use something more extensively tested (i dunno... Salsa20 or whatever).

Look, either Dual_EC_DRBG is a decent and secure PRNG, within reasonable parameters of computational complexity, or it's not. If it is, why the fuck is NSA paying security companies to adopt it? If it's that good, it should stand on its own and surely people will naturally adopt it (similarly to what happened with DES).

The fact that NSA has paid RSA to give priority to this PRNG is HIGHLY suspect, to put it mildly.

In a way this is no different than the fixes they made to make DES proof against differential cryptanalysis. Everyone suspected that NSA had weakened DES when in fact they made it stronger, but it took 15-20 years for people to see that.

Back then, people _suspected_ that DES might contain a backdoor. Today, we _know_ that Dual_EC_DRBG contains backdoor-like properties: it's not simply a suspicion. Do you understand the difference, or do you prefer to keep invoking this flawed comparison?

Since you like talking about DES, shouldn't you also refer how the US gov, back then, artificially forced DES key length to be ridiculously low, to the point where the keyspace could be directly bruteforced? Oh, let's not talk about that small detail...

For all we know the elliptic stuff only looks like it might be weak, but it may be perfectly fine and strong, but it may have been chosen since the form looks weak as a troll against anyone that would try to crack it. Square the circle, you can do it!

Hello? Are you paying attention? Dual_EC_DRBG has been SHOWN (not suspected) to display biases and to be particularly slow for the quality of its output bitstream (AND display backdoor-like properties). It's not optimal or transparent, and it's certainly NOT "fine and strong": it's shit.

A five-year-old could make a better PRNG using any vaguely-decent stream cipher, block cipher in counter mode or cryptographically-secure ha

Until they add no returns to their standard EULA, right below not using it to run a nuclear power plant or manufacture biological or chemical weapons.

Sinclair specifically mentioned the fact that you could (supposedly) run a power station with the ZX80:-

"You could use it to do quite literally anything from playing chess to running a power station".

I don't know if they intended you to buy the 3K RAM pack for either of those(!!) (*), but if they did I hope it didn't suffer from the notorious "wobble" as badly as the ZX81's did. Wouldn't like that to happen in a nuclear power station ;-)

(*) Though someone did (incredibly) write a near-complete implementation of chess that fitted within the 1K ZX81.

Oh come on!

This is so wrong that I can't believe you're not malicious.

As your own article admits, there's nothing that stops a quantum algorithm that breaks McEliese being invented tomorrow. There's not even evidence that such an algorithm is unlikely to exist. That's why McEliese is worthless and nobody pays attention to it.

When you say QC has been broken, you're probably referring to the implementation of BB84 by IdQuantique that was broken by the norwegian quantum hackers. They themselves say that QC is not broken: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/groups/optics/qcr/

It was only a particular implementation that was broken, not even a particular protocol. That's because it can't be broken. Of course there is not such a thing as perfect security, but BB84 (and other protocols) is based on sound principles, and we have numerous proofs (yes, mathematical proofs) of security for various scenarios.

I can access it just fine, but like all the Free IPv6 Porn sites, it is indeed a sham. It just features the heading "The IPv6 is for porn" and that internet-is-for-porn video.

On the other hand, this man's protest achieved real and lasting results.

with the manufacturer's full approval to boot

I'm not sure the manufacturers would approve the existence of our lab if they could dictate it. Thankfully we are independent and need not seek their approval. The manufacturers did appreciate responsible disclosure, though. I don't know how this hacking affects their business in the short term (may as well be detrimental to sales), even though it is surely good for business in the long term as it leads to more secure systems.

There are some photographs of the hacked hardware and the hacking tools on the page of the researchers.

Here's distributions that boot from floppy: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=links#floppy http://bootdisk.com/linux.htm Then, you can install whatever you want via PPPoE.\: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds05.html.en http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html Here's some recommendations from a 486'er: http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/linux486/linux486.html

One of my dorm friends, Jakob Husum, wrote his dissertation on ways of optimizing cement productions.

One of the rather impressive/scary things about that, is that it is responsible for about 2% of the world's energy consumption. That's an insane amount of energy for something that isn't even an end product.

The first paragraph of the paper actually grabs you by the balls and twists firmly:

Production of cement is one of the most energy
intensive industrial processes, consuming up to 2 % of the worlds electricity due to several low eciency processes. The grinding of cement clinker from the kiln is the most inefficient process in the manufacturing, with an efficiency of 1 % (Benzer et al., 2001).

Can't quite remember how much of the energy if spent on the last bit, but I think it was something like 25%. That's 0.5% of the world's energy usage spent on a 1% efficient process. Now imagine you could up the efficiency to 10% or even 5%. That'd be a reduction of the world's energy usage of 0.45 or 0.4% respectively, simply by improving a single process.

Now, there are a lot of arguments for saving energy. Saving the environment, less pollution etc., but it's hard to overlook the economic incentive of cutting back energy costs of a production, where a large part of the process is 1% efficient.

Seriously, when PDF is based on a language that can calculate fractals on the fly and draw a different random maze every time you print it, why are we surprised that PDF is nearly as capable?

Also, doesn't it take LOTS more energy to continually refresh RAM than it does to enable a processor?

Here is the sort of chart you're looking for, although it's somewhat dated. And of course it varies by model. I have a T60p Tkinkpad laptop which, by virtue of its Core Duo processor, presumably has good battery life. But since it also has an ATI FireGL video card, the battery life is crappy and it's uncomfortable to use on your lap.

It sucks if you're a Take Two share holder though. Take Two & Rockstar would give Imagine a run for their money for fiscal mismanagement, broken promises and delays.

Fuck, even in a socialist country (if there are any) they'd be looking for cheap labor.

Since the Linux kernel does not do as much as the Windows kernel (not in any way a value judgement), this is to be expected. More CPU and memory bandwidth are available to the game under Linux. This type of benchmark is shortsighted.

Translucent windows under X have been developed competently by at least four different teams before OSX. The feature is commonly requested and frequently attempted. Usually, people decide it's not worth the CPU hit. OSX and Vista are the first systems which have implemented this feature through hardware acceleration. Neither invented the idea. Neither is in any way visionary or brilliant for saying "hey, let's use this 3D hardware, then maybe performance won't be teh suck".

We did 16-bit platforms when you people were laughing at us and saying "get a real computer". You don't get to bitch about it now that we've pushed you off most of your own home field.

Only in ancient Rome does censorship mean evaluation.

You are actually wrong. Even if the word in Italian ("censura") means now the same as in English, in some languages it retained the original meaning. In Norwegian, for example, exams are actually "sensurert" ("censored"), and the word "sensur" is used for both meanings. I am not sure of the status in Swedish and Danish, but it's probably just the same like everything else.

It's probably in line with Norway - At NTNU (one of four universities (20,000 students) in a country of ~4.5 million), there are hundreds (by now probably thousands) of students with 100 Mbit full duplex Ethernet connections in their rented apartments, courtesy of the university and privately owned student towns. It rocks!

Welcome back to tech, sir clive sinclair! Hope your poker playing is still going strong as well, though.

I used to work on a helpdesk for BT (UK phone provider). One of my favourite incidents was when we were called out to fix someone's PC that was overheating. According to the fault report, it was "Overheating due to having too many files in the root directory".

What had actually happened was a hardware engineer had been called out to look at the PC overheating, and as part of his routine checks had looked at the hard drive. There were quite a few data files in C:\, and the engineer had mentioned that they might want to fix that (this was in FAT12/DOS 3.x days when you could only have 128 - I think? - files in the root folder). A fair point - if the user hit the limit they'd probably get confused - but for some reason the user interpreted this as being the cause of overheating. And that's a software problem, so they called us.

Another good one was a fault reported on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum that was being used for some critical purpose in a telephone exchange, and could we take a look at it? Be very afraid.

On a related note, we also dealt with ordering new kit. We used to get a few requests for a Zenith laptop from phone engineers for testing lines, etc - because it was good for playing this 3D golf game that was doing the rounds. Requests for this were usually denied by management, because they see that the guy just wanted a laptop to play with. In response to the denial (and more often, as a first line of attack as people got wise to this), they would opt to order a 'Tester 4A' instead, which also allowed them to test phone lines/systems. Orders for a Tester 4A were always approved by management - with, I like to imagine, a harrumphing grunt of approval that here was an engineer that was actually interested in doing their job for a change, dammit.

Now, I'm sure you can guess what a 'Tester 4A' actually was :-)

Are you insane? All rights are granted to individuals only, never to "society"

I said for the benefit of society. Society works better if individuals have a well-defined set of rights. As for the vocabulary, for "society" I mean "everybody", you seem to have understood "the ruling class".

However, without a patent on your new method, all the established companies copy you immediately.

They cannot copy me immediately. The WMV and WMA formats have been out there for years and still mplayer fails on them at times. Flash has bunches of books documenting how it is programmed, but free players are still in their infancy (you probably noticed I am on AMD64). This living in a software-patent-free continent. The gist being, just because the idea is out, it does not mean that implementation is just as fast. In fact, implementation is usually the hardest part: learning C perfectly takes much less than programming the whole GCC from scratch.

If the method is so easy to implement, it is probably trivial and should not be patented at all. If it is more complex, it requires (a lot of) reorganization and formation, which you just cannot do "immediately".

Not only did you not benefit from your hard work, you basically did all your competitors a favor by giving it away for free. You worked for nothing. What's the point in doing it again next time you have a good idea? You tell your story to a few friends, who tell it to a few more friends, and all of a sudden no one wants to innovate.

It's the competition, baby. You have to deliver. Sharing knowledge is simply the most efficient way of doing things. It does not benefit directly the inventor (who may be however be hired by a leading company, or found his start-up to show he's right and wait for a hefty buyout check, or be rewarded in other ways), but benefits everybody else. Sometimes really important inventions are not patented anyway because the best inventors are more interested in the science than in the money (they are scientists after all: Einstein did not patent laser, for instance). The point of market competition is to benefit society, if you want to benefit a company look up "monopoly".

The limited term of patents (currently 20 years) means that eventually, yes, all your competitors will be able to use the same business method that made you so fantastically successful. Know what that means? Time to innovate again.

20 years seem to be a way too long time for an innovation cycle. 20 years ago I used to try to understand what that Vic20 my cousin had bought was.

Also, for the other companies that cannot use your business method, they must innovate new and even more improved business methods to compete with *you* now - they can't just use your idea and stop there.

What if my method is so generic that no one else can bypass it? People are patenting mouse clicks these days. And anyway, if someone else is first on the market, I have to provide a better service anyway. If there is a patent, I cannot improve the idea, I must ignore it totally.

I wish you damn socialists

Please, please. Use the proper word. These days we proudly go by the name of coglioni , thanks to our nanito en jefe.

Show me something you've invented or created and shared with the whole world gratis - what's that? You can't? Oh.

Linux is a highly maintainable car [...]

Nonsense, everyone knows Linux is a tank.

The university I attend has a few water-less urinals installed - and I can't really tell the difference between those and the old-fashioned water-urinals - they both reek just as bad. The water-less ones looks more fancy though... err, provided there is a certain limit to just how cool-loking a urinal can get.

For quite a bit less you can get a real laptop like the Dell Latitude X1. This one is also very small and light but has a real keyboard. This machine is _smaller_ than A4, weighs only 1.1 kg and runs linux very well.

You mean, like this?

It's not enough for the car to break down on the freeway.

The car has to break down on the freeway,

• in the fast lane,
• during rush hour,
• get slammed by an 18-wheeler carrying bawling cattle,
• in the rain,
• with a lightning strike,
• that ignites the gas tank,
• and have the emerging, dazed occupants get out of the car just in time to have a wet crotch spot where their drink spilled visible broadcast on the evening news from the helicopter video news team
• so that all friends, relative and cool people will say,

  "Hey! I know that dork!".

The invulnerable transportation provided by Linux is consistently ignored by the masses, as noted by Neal Stephenson's In the Beginning was the Command Line

The Dell X1 can do without fan because it has a ULV Pentium and is therefore supposedly very quiet. (I'll know how quiet shortly).

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon

I hear he recently lost much of his nerve, was kicked out of his parents' house in New Jersey because they thought his "Linux porting venture" was just another bad move. He dropped out of High School, doesn't have any education outside of reading Bill Ball novice Linux "technical" manuals. He got his first Linux porting job at Loki Entertainment Inc, situated at Tustin in California. Worked next to Sam Lantinga the maintainer and founder of Simple Directmedia Layer. After Loki went under bankruptcy protection, Ryan fell apart. He was living in his office for awhile, and that is when he incurred much butt sex. Sam Lantinga went on to better things, and now works at Blizzard Entertainment Inc for only God-knows-what in World of Warcraft. Ryan returned to his parents' backyard, porting some U.S. Army propoganda software as well as Unreal Tournament 2003, Unreal Tournament 2004, and FriedChickletts MUD. He's pretty much unimpressive, and generally unavailable for porting jobs. I suppose that's why Linux Game Publishing was not willing to hire him to port Candy Crunchers. I also hear Ryan has taken a liking to homosexual lifestyle, (NOTE: goatse balls, men, and Lenin poster) which explains why his choice of books is rather questionable in the "gender-confusion" sort of way.

I think you're wasting your time asking for burned-out hashish-eaters, like Ryan. You should contact the Alpha Troll in Linuxgames.com forums for all your porting needs.

Hi there.
