Re:Proper science is falsifiable.
You have no respect for others because you have no respect for yourself. You lack the ability to admit error, or let go of a belief system when it has been thoroughly refuted - and your response is lashing out.
my alma mater will be fascinated to know I don't understand thermodynamics
Perhaps they'll revoke whatever degree conferred upon you when you tell them directly that entropy can be circumvented by time travel
:)You have to provide evidence, and no, links to blogs wont cut it, I want peer reviewed research.
You're asking for peer reviewed research on whether or not the laws of entropy can be circumvented by time travel? Really?
Okay, I'll bite
:)http://www.ust.hk/about-hkust/...
"Discovery of superluminal propagation of optical pulses in some specific medium 10 years ago has evoked the world’s dream of time travel, but later scientists realized that it is only a visual effect where the superluminal ‘group’ velocity of many photons could not be used for transmitting any real information"
" The study, which showed that single photons also obey the speed limit c, confirms Einstein’s causality; that is, an effect cannot occur before its cause."
This peer reviewed paper was reported on by the LA times originally: http://latimesblogs.latimes.co... Will you object because a blog cited a peer reviewed paper?

Water expands with heating *and* cooling, with a maximum density (hence minimum volume for a given mass) at 4oC. See chart here.

Full Article Text - To Avoid Funding Roland
For those who don't want to stuff ad revenue in Roland's pockets, here is the copy and pasted article which he plagiarised anyway. Can't we just either make him an editor so we can filter him, or stop posting his crap altogether, Timothy? If we are going to use slashdot simply to pimp his site, let's at least continue reposting his articles in the comments to avoid stuffing his wallet.
Eastern Ink Painting on a Computer
Traditional Oriental ink painting is more easily done with real brushes than with a computer program because you need to model how the ink is flowing into an absorbent surface such as paper. In this brief article, Technology Research News writes that "researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a brush-and-ink-style paint program, dubbed MoXi, that uses a model of pigment particles in water flowing into paper." These virtual Chinese brushes simulate in real time the ink dispersion and could be available on your PC within two years. Read more...
Here is some general information about MoXi provided by Technology Research News.
The software models the gritty details of paper absorbing water and pigment moving through water, including the way pigment concentrates at ink boundaries as water evaporates from drying ink. The technique promises to make computer paint programs with more realistic and could also be used in computer animation packages, according to the researchers.
The simulation is based on mathematics -- the lattice Boltzmann equation -- that physicists use to model the complex behaviors of fluids. The model simulates more complex effects than previous work, and is also fast enough to deliver ink dispersion simulations in real-time on a reasonably large canvas, according to the researchers.

Here are two links to larger versions of these images, the "Lotus leaves" (1.30 MB) and the "Planet" (1.47 MB).
The researchers behind the MoXi project are Chiew-Lan Tai, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, and Nelson Siu-Hang Chu, her Research Assistant.
For more information about their projects, you can read these two pages about the Virtual Chinese Brush and about MoXi. On this page, you'll have access to several videos and images. The two pictures above come from this page.
The MoXi project will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2005 under the name "MoXi: Real-Time Ink Dispersion in Absorbent Paper." Here is a link to the paper submitted by the researchers (PDF format, 1 page, 145 KB). Here are an excerpt from the introduction.
Our paint system, MoXi, allows users to paint in the spontaneous style of Eastern ink painting, on a computer. The simulations of both brush and ink are essential for a successful extension of this traditional art into the digital domain. For real-time performance, we have implemented our ink flow model entirely on the GPU, leaving the CPU for the brush simulation.
According to the researchers, this technique "could be used practically in one or two years." But is this possible that this technology can be sold under the name MoXi? There alre -

According to the researchers, this technique "could be used practically in one or two years." But is this possible that this technology can be sold under the name MoXi? There already is a Digeo service named Moxi which offers High Definition TV (HDTV). And Digeo claims in its press releases (check this one for example) that Moxi is one of its registered trademarks.

Full Article Text (htmlized, coralized)Traditional Oriental ink painting is more easily done with real brushes than with a computer program because you need to model how the ink is flowing into an absorbent surface such as paper. In this brief article, Technology Research News writes that "researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a brush-and-ink-style paint program, dubbed MoXi, that uses a model of pigment particles in water flowing into paper." These virtual Chinese brushes simulate in real time the ink dispersion and could be available on your PC within two years. Read more...
Here is some general information about MoXi provided by Technology Research News.
The software models the gritty details of paper absorbing water and pigment moving through water, including the way pigment concentrates at ink boundaries as water evaporates from drying ink. The technique promises to make computer paint programs with more realistic and could also be used in computer animation packages, according to the researchers.
The simulation is based on mathematics -- the lattice Boltzmann equation -- that physicists use to model the complex behaviors of fluids. The model simulates more complex effects than previous work, and is also fast enough to deliver ink dispersion simulations in real-time on a reasonably large canvas, according to the researchers.

Here are two links to larger versions of these images, the "Lotus leaves" (1.30 MB) and the "Planet" (1.47 MB).
The researchers behind the MoXi project are Chiew-Lan Tai, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, and Nelson Siu-Hang Chu, her Research Assistant.
For more information about their projects, you can read these two pages about the Virtual Chinese Brush and about MoXi. On this page, you'll have access to several videos and images. The two pictures above come from this page.
The MoXi project will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2005 under the name "MoXi: Real-Time Ink Dispersion in Absorbent Paper." Here is a link to the paper submitted by the researchers (PDF format, 1 page, 145 KB). Here are an excerpt from the introduction.
Our paint system, MoXi, allows users to paint in the spontaneous style of Eastern ink painting, on a computer. The simulations of both brush and ink are essential for a successful extension of this traditional art into the digital domain. For real-time performance, we have implemented our ink flow model entirely on the GPU, leaving the CPU for the brush simulation.

Re:No more spying, please!
Also, I neglected to mention in my previous post...
One factor behind MS AntiSpyware's successful may be the use of quadratic probing in a secondary clustering to traverse file patterns, which are stored in an acylic graph.
Fleischer and Trippen elaborate further on this technique in a Java implementation, which of course Microsoft did not employ. The rationale, however, is the same. -
Re:It's already the end of high-tech in Hong Kong.
I think there are some faults in saying that 'HKU is going to close its EE department'
1. There is no 'electrical engineering' department ever in HKU. The only one is 'Electronic and Electrical Engineering'
2. The one in CUHK is 'Electronic Engineering', not 'Electrical Engineering'.
3. The "remaining" 'Electrical Engineering' is in Hong Kong Polytechnic University http://www.ee.polyu.edu.hk/
4. I think the speculation of closing 'Electrial engineering' in HKU is their UG programme. I am no insider information in this. However, I am aware that this programme has been changing a lot during the past few years. It does have a sign of 'struggling' with low enrollment.
5. HKU EEE has a sustainial resources dedicated to research in electrical engineering. It's rather hard for them to close it down for the time being.
BTW, HKUST http://www.ust.hk/ long time ago has a 'electrical engineering' UG programme. Now they remained their department name as 'electrical and electronic engineering' while they UG programme only covers 'electronics'... they only have PG level of research 'electrical' part. -
Re:No robocop
Don't be so sure. It's obviously big enough to contain an actual human being who drives the thing around all day.
Oh, by the way, this thing is already equipped for movies: If, in a movie, it just "happened" to go rampant and start killing people and taking negligible damage from the gunships and tanks that attack it, the day can only be saved by our smart and brave hero (preferably a 15-year girl in school uniform) who finds the Big Red Button (3.5 MB) behind its neck.

micropayment ? we have this for years !.. in france
..you may have heard about the minitel, some sort of videotext terminal that iss distributed for free.. its nominal speed is 1200/75 bits/s, but you now have faster ways to access it. anyway it was sufficient for its semi-graphic interface.
the main use of the minitel was to connect to some "kiosk" and then type the name of the service you want to access. you don't have to subscribe, eventually you do not pay the services directly. you are billed by the operator (france telecom) according to the time you spent on the different service, and their respective rates (from free to something like 1.5 dollars per minute). the billing is made in the same invoice as the usual voice calls. the operator charges, collects the money, keeps some for himself, and give the remaining to the providers of the different services.
a lot of companies made a lot of money with this, with different kind of services: chats (some very sex-oriented), games, value-added professionnal databases..
minitel was launched in 1984, and it was very popular, years before most of us ever heard about internet:
http://www.ust.hk/~webiway/content/France/history
. htmlmore than 6 million terminals were distributed as of 1994. more than a billion connections in 2002, not too bad for a 60 million ppl country and for a medium that is slowly fading away.
if you are curious you can even try it using your internet connection:

Missed the *nix critters...
but that's ok, you can always read the man page if you must.

Re:Ugh...More SPS (Shitty Patent Syndrome)you got that right buddy. TWC's Full Service Network (FSN) was a TWC/SGI/AT&T joint project. my group at AT&T BL designed and built the ATM switches and related infrastructure that carried the video, SGI provided the backend servers and the set-top boxen, and TWC provided the content and the subscribers. we were doing "real" VOD via DS3 in the lab in 1992, in trials in 1993, and TWC field deployment in 1994. the movie menu/selection system was a nice piece of SW and human factors engineering. MSFT patenting "VOD variable rate menu scrolling" is akin to patenting "variable speed windshield wipers" -- somewhat clever, but in the big picture just a trivial feature out of dozens of extraordinary ones (e.g. wheel, internal combustion engine, in-car MP3 player,

Re:The ArmyA High School simulation... You mean like Tokimeki Memorial?
I can certain enjoy a high school simulation... The appeal is you can go back and do things differently. You could try being someone else, joined a different club, met a different girl, etc....
Maybe there are FPS's that would appeal to people in the military because they would let them do things differently as well...
I have a friend who drove an M1 in the army, but he still plays WWIII tank simulations... Why? Because he never got a chance to take on the Russkies. :-) -

Re:tv networks losing their advantages
(And have you ever noticed that when one channel goes to ads, all the other major networks seem to do so as well? I suspect they designed it that way so even though you may switch away, someone else on another channel will switch and see the ad that you missed.)
Things meant to be aired on TV have alloted breaks in them at certain times. This allows pretty simple commercial playback automation. You will notice this if you ever rent a made for TV movie from the video store. Here is a paper on this timing: http://www.bm.ust.hk/~econ/paper/zhoubreak.pdf -
The repugnant stench of New Scientist.
Looking closely at the bottom of the page reveals the article's infamous origin:
"PLEASE MENTION NEW SCIENTIST AS THE SOURCE OF THIS STORY AND, IF PUBLISHING ONLINE, PLEASE CARRY A HYPERLINK TO: www.newscientist.com"
You see, New Scientist is a tabloid like sensationalistic uncredible rag. Trusting scientific information from New Scientist is like asking your auntie May who's an LPN to perform brain surgery on you.
For instance one glaring oversight in the article:"To decide whether or not the nanotubes really are superconductors, you need to measure the resistance through a single tube, Alexandrov says."
Alexandrov is apparently the only theoretical physicist left in the world who didnt see the Science article 6 months ago finding that nanotubes superconduct. He also incorrectly states that "Superconductivity theories do not forbid the phenomenon at very high temperatures" this is totally incorect. Type one superconductors have a limit of about 40K and there are theories placing the upper limit of type II superconductors at 200K. -
A few reasons...The french are more online, simply because...
- They were **THE** pionneers in instituting an online society.
More than 20 years ago, they decided to implement the fabled Minitel in order to eliminate paper telephone directories. - They're not anglo-saxons.
So the french don't have that innate distrust of the State. Thus, they not only do not continually question what the State does, but they don't view working for the State as something demeaning, so the best minds are naturally attracted to work for the State so everyone benefits. - De Gaulle did not like using a phone.
He himself took maybe three phone calls a year, and made perhaps only one (on a good year) phone call on the same year (he didn't have a phone on his desk). Therefore, telephone infrastructure lagged sorely behind most countries (and was the butt of cruel jokes, like Fernand Raynaud's fabled: "Hello New-York, gimme the 22 at Asnières", which is said to have humiliated french telephone network engineers more than anything else. So, upon De Gaulle's resignation, the authorities embarked into a record-breaking research program to enhance the french phone network.
The retarded phone network was a blessing in disguise, because in most cases, switches simply bypassed mechanical switching and they went from manual operators straight to digital packet-switching.
This gave France a head-start in digital communications, which enabled them to quickly implement the Minitel network. - They're catholics
The french didn't have much choice but either to listen to the priests or to dump them, which is what they've been doing en masse for the last 200 years or so. (By contrast, a protestant can either find a sect that tells him what he likes, or simply make-up one of his own)
Republican ideals naturally spurns religion as something which enslaves humanity, so the State is quite rigorously insulated from the church. Official education is strictly non-religious (law forbids teaching religion in public schools), so therefore, the french put much virtue in Science (and the fabled cartesian spirit also helps). So it is quite normal that the french will rigorously embrace new technology without having any philosophical qualms about it. - French culture values intellectual achievement
And it does so far more than financial success (you just can't get rid of the the old scatholic foundations...), so plenty of people are drawn into scientific studies. Scientists enjoy recognition and are respected. So, naturally, luddites do not really get listened to...
This enables a great penetration of advanced technological ideas throughout society. - The education system does not make specialists, but generalists.
French scientists have a shallower knowledge that spans far more areas of interests, so they are more able to connect seemingly disconnected technologies together.
A most successful and innovative american company has fully understood this idea. Researchers working for the Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing company are forced NOT to spend 10 to 15% of their research budget on their primary research area. But they are quite free to spend it investigating side-effects discovered through their research. That's why they have so much innovative products. - France values education and culture.
Since then, it is only natural that education is freely available to anyone. The cream of the crop is also enrolled in the grandes écoles where they are given the best education for free, for which they then serve the State as the fabled highly-competent senior bureaucrates.
- They were **THE** pionneers in instituting an online society.

Solar Bug kits from Andy Pang..I just got this kit in the mail today. B.E.A.M Solar Robot Kits. Interesting things to do with transistors, motors, solar cells and a few other parts. This guy put together a few kits from surplus parts. They all around $10.
Other sites have put together other BEAM kits that are more expensive. SolarBotics seems to have a lot of stuff listed.
Now I gotta go do some sodering!
