The images for all the rounded corners appear to be missing.

What does pay? Perhaps research, (which Vernor Vinge called "Search & Analysis," and noted was at "the heart of the economy,") perhaps technology, perhaps being a system administrator, or being a mechanic, or something like that. Perhaps being a business person or a manager. I wouldn't really know; I've not asked the question "How do I make more money?" deeply enough.

That's because the FAQ appears to be only accessible from the US.
The coralized link works (for me):

So, use coral as your proxy :)

Chris, looks good so far, big thanks.

One of my buddies is working on this project. He had this to say about how the optics work:

"The basic idea is that under Fourier optics, a wavefront with electric field E that hits a lens with focal length f will produce the Fourier transform of that field E at a distance f from the lens. This location is called the image plane. The location of the lens is called the pupil plane, and the idea is that if you block part of the light at the pupil plane (say with a piece of material in a particular shape, called a mask), it can change the shape of the Fourier transform at the image plane. If we consider the incoming light to be from a star and a planet, we can design the mask so that there is very little light from the star in certain regions of the image plane, and we can see the light from the planet in those regions.

For a more rigorous introduction, I might recommend this paper from our group, which covers the basics of shaped pupils and shows some of our more interesting mask designs. The real challenges in this area now are eliminating the effects of tiny errors in our optics--the best we can get physically is to reduce the error in flatness of the various mirrors in the telescope design to on the order of 0.01 wavelength. (TPF will work in visible light, so that's on the order of a nanometer.) We need 0.0001 wavelength, though, and so we're trying to use adaptive optics (mirrors that we can shape) to cancel these errors. Researchers in this area are very close to achieving the "10 billion times brighter" from the article, we just need to show we can deal with these errors. Very interesting stuff."

Johnny 5, disassemble?

I'm sorry, but this really isn't that far off from this.

I love Coral Cache

In case anyone wants to RTFA, I was finally able to get Coral to cache a copy of it. You can view the article in all its glory here.

Coral Cache of the now slashdotted article

Coral Cache of Wired

This is the first of 3 pages:

http://www.wired.com.nyud.net:8080/news/technology /0,70944-0.html

Not sure why sometimes it doesn't work; coral is overloaded? Anyway, sometimes I have to try several times before it works.

Coral Cache FTW

I'm a dope! Here's a link.

Why, Steve Ballmer of course ;)

The OpenEZX project seems to be quite active, with Harald Welte (of GPL-Violations fame) doing a lot of 2.6.x kernel porting and hardware support. Join the mailing list if you are interested in helping out with this rapidly progressing project!

Unfortunately several people say that Motorola has been less helpful with OSS development than they could have been, but let's hope that this site will change this in a very positive way.

An interesting and somewhat rare one in the portable's category is the Commodore SX-64. This would would be a great historic machine to have on display.

Well coral cache has page 2 at least

For those of you at work who want to know what happened without pulling up a (overloaded) video stream, here's a text summary of everything that happened.

Wow. I had no idea that PS3's logo was so horrible. Taking that into consideration, I think you might have been a little hard on Microsoft. The XBOX 360 logo might not be new or anything but at least it doesn't look like that .

It appears to be down. Here's the coral cache:

http://www.xyzcomputing.com.nyud.net:8090/index.ph p?option=content&task=view&id=642

However, I found some other .edu website with video clips & info that are a bit more technical.

http://www.ece.msstate.edu.nyud.net:8090/~bjones/p rofessional/research/OCTOR/octor.htm

The clips are at the bottom, but don't ignore the videos linked in the "Journal publications" section.

Coralized so as not to /. a second university.

Yes!! If you've ever wanted an assistant for your favourite editor, check this out!

They deserve a break.

Here's a Coral cache link to other Improv Everywhere missions:

By transferring the power from the Diesel Engine to an electric transmission, modern locomotives are able to smoothly apply power curves of well over 300KW without any of the slippage or rough starts associated with the Steam Engine.

Coralizing the link doesn't seem to work for me, but YMMV.

FYI - It's hosted on his business website, so try not to /. it.
A mirror wouldn't hurt.

looks like you need a bit of anonet. can't really intrude on a private network can they, and even then, who was it? :)

In interviews, military officials defended the laser research as prudent, given the potential need for space arms to defend American satellites against attack in the years and decades ahead. "The White House wants us to do space defense," said a senior Pentagon official who oversees many space programs, including the laser effort. "We need that ability to protect our assets" in orbit.

If we're calling anything that locks your browser a DOS now, then how come this bug, which is over 3 years old and seems dead simple to fix, is not? I can make a browser DOS on any web page I want:

<script>
while(true) alert('Boom!');
</script>

Such a piece of code does not trigger the "script is taking a long time" message because it fires alerts. And the alerts are content-modal so you can't do *anything* to close the browser or tab causing the alerts. You have to kill it off.

No different from the "denial of service" bug mentioned in this posting.

The site is under a double whammy attack right now. DDoS from spammers and the Slashdot Effect from, well, you.

Site apperas to be going down.

What all slashdotters really want to see is a giant squid - not Gavin's toys.

And I have one for you. Giant Squid in its Natural Habitat

Seriously, youtube has an interesting video of a largish humbolt squid and a dissection of a real giant squid at the London Natural History Museum.

Oh - and a Coral Cache Mirror in case Gavin's video dies.

At least the good folks at Xbit Labs have a printer friendly link.

Probably good to have a Coralized link anyways, their site was slowing down for me.

See the homonymophone debate.
You probably mean it is not a homonoym 1b (webster's 1913, read homograph).

They need a PARENT to encourage them ...
They need the right environment at home.
And they don't need competing forms of passive entertainment (TV).
Don't expect the school system to do it for you.

My 11 years old son Daniel programs using a variety of tools and has been doing so for a couple of years already (Visual basic, a variety of flavors of Logo, Game Maker. I'll let /.ers find out what he's using in this photo). He also does other creative things like creating scenes and animations using Art of Illusion - this also involves kind of programming, like creating procedural textures/materials. He learns some math/geometry doing this, since his programming experience drives him to manipulate the data (coordinates) directly to get exact results. He also learns some physics for getting the right results, like making gravitation work close to correct in this game (/.ers should be able to tell what link is the game. Hint: the file extension is .exe*). (well... It not just parent encouragement. After school activity played an important role. School only taught him to use the computer as a typewriter).

His 5 year old brother Jonatan already learned to do some "visual programming" using Game Maker, producing working games (though still not one another kid would want to play with. He does get useful things produced this way: Birthday "greeting cards" that can only be made using programming). The need to do everything that his big brother does is enough motivation.

* I thought that the game should really be open sourced (or "free-softwared") but the Game Maker "sources" (.gm6 files) are actually binary, and though the license allows distribution of the created games, it's not clear to me how exactly it can be done with an Open source or CC license. Compiling the "sources" requires (gratis) proprietary software.
