How about using cheap mirrors to bounce off some extra light unto those expensive solar panels, and increase the output that way.
Oh wait ! The solar power companies doesn't want you to know that . . .
Or else the corrupt patent system actually issued a patent on that . . .
nuts . . .
Patents turn ordinary developers with ideas into criminals.
Check it out, this really is one of the best articles about patents I have ever read:
http://philsalin.com/patents.html
You end up with a bunch of gobblegook crap code, I've seen it happen.
Communication is key. Video conferencing doesn't work.
Very low quality at a low price. Not worth it, waste of time, money.
How about that there is both a god *and* evolution?
Do we *have* to be "Humans" originally? Does the world *have* to be *just* 6000 years old?
Can there *not* be any dinosaurs? Can this "bible" *not* be simply consider an intelligent piece of work by ancient monks?
Why are the churchy people so darn close minded and short sighted. Why can't they at least attempt to explore and discuss the possibilities?
Woof... I'm glad I can live free of guilt. I can go through a course of a day, without having to "pray" or "worship".
xen, vmware, why so difficult?
Why not run vserver (or similar) in a unionfs layer?
You can still have all the benefits of migratibility without the performance hit.
"Applicants are also responsible for disclosing any prior art".
Hmm. If you enclose prior art, it wouldn't be eligible for a patent now, would it?
And the lawyer-candy patent mine field grows and grows.
Aren't there any "honest" lawyers that could tell the PTO that the system is flawed? Oh wait, that's pretty stupid question. We all need to put bread on the table... How does one sleep at night?
C++ is not necessarily "always" faster than Java. Java bytecodes get translated to machine codes. Dynamic runtime optimizations and translations based on the platform it's running on, is something that's available in Java and not in C++.
Run a few simple loops with some math and arrays in C++ and in Java, and you'll see that the Java version often runs at about the same speed. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower.
Your statement that "the end result of the compilation is run through an interpreter", is incorrect.
Bytecodes *are* translated to pure machine code instructions. Why else does a straightforward calculation like a a mandelbrot, say, run faster in Java than it does than optimized gnu C ?
Try playing with it. ps. benchmarking Java is tricky. Often people measure including the JVM startup time, and the runtime-jit compilation time. Even some of the most recognized benchmarks on the internet are highly flawed. But for realistic performances, Java is far faster than many realize.
The beauty is that the bytecodes get translated to the best possible instruction depending on the platform it's running on. It also gets to dynamically analyze how the program is run, and optimizes accordingly.
So it's a step forward, not backward.
Thanks to the RIAA, new 100% anonymous network development is spearing ahead. Highly encrypted and scattered underground network carry through ordinary internet. Information is stored in encrypted form. Thanks to these networks, our 8 year old neighbor will freely get access to bomb making, child porn, nazi files, people getting killed, raped, mutilated in full glory gory detail. With bittorrent and limewire type sharing, the line isn't really crossed by the average citizen, but with these new 100% anonymous networks, people will do strange scary things. Personally I don't want to see and I don't want others to have access to this crap, but with RIAA throwing their weight around, people are being driven to these underground environments - it's only a matter of time.
Sure, most people are sane and make a big joke out of this.
But to think that violence in video games doesn't contribute to violent actions is completely ignorant. Real accidents and real deaths really do happen as a result of some people's minds having been conditioned by video games.
There's Columbine, that highway shooting, and recently where I live, there was one incident where two people in fast expensive cars were racing and killed someone. The cops found a copy of GTA on the passenger seat.
On the other hand, it might make some people that would otherwise do something dangerous, realize that racing can be dangerous, and might actually choose to not cross that line.
Should we limit the amount of violence in video games? Do we want any limits at all? Do we want anarchy? Do we want any society at all? Do we really not care or give a crap to whatever happens?
Yes we need to limit the amount of violence. The ratings aren't working. Ratings are more of a special macho kiddo stamp of approval.
I'm too lazy right now to come up with something that'll fix it. I'll leave it to the government. Hello-ho ! MacFly-hi ! Work to do !
Last week with the Chinese mini stock crash, Microsoft's Windows Server crashed along with it. So much for their propaganda.
Take anything either have to say serious and you're an idiot.
I've read that Microsoft's "open document" XML is so convoluted, the only thing that can use it is MS Office itself.
But, they underestimate the creative people. Some German hacker in some basement somewhere, will write an amazing set of XSL files that'll translate their proprietary "open" XML format into an easy to digest nicely organized XML tree.
Microsoft will continue to barf out food that their own dogs won't even be able to eat.
The networks don't want their bits on youtube. But why not? Noone will ever see the content then, because the networks don't provide access to a lot of the content. Take "The New Twilight Zone" for instance. I don't think it's on any network on tv, ever. I want to see it, but they won't let me. I haven't seen it in any store either. And don't try to sell it to me for $20 per freaking episode either. Sell a nice box set, season by season, in Walmart for, say, $40 - I would buy that. Why is it so bad to show bits and pieces on youtube? It raises excitement, and will expose people to a potential new market. The networks can't have it both ways.
I'm against the lawsuit. Do something, anything.
Oh, well, soon, we'll have 100% anonymous p2p systems. Everything scattered and encrypted, even on the harddrive. There is nothing they can do to stop it.
Patent application:
"Periscopybrowse"
Mirror like apparatus that allows for viewing the internet around a corner. This can be used to view someone's terminal around the corner without being seen.
The periscope is a prior invention, browsing the internet through a terminal is a prior invention, but noone has thought about browsing the internet around a corner. This allows ever for things like multi-monitors without having to have a monitor on you desk.
Amazing. Patent pending ! Gimme gimme gimme.
But noooohhh, they won't give me a laptop without an OS, because we wouldn't want to piss of microsoft would we... Otherwise Ballmer himself will come knocking on your door, and complain that about the starving 'developers developers developers developers', and 'he loooooves his company, yeahhh!!'.
Thanks for the Python script. I might be interested to port some of those filters to standard Java filters. Have you ever considered doing image processing in Java, it works really well, and is much faster than most think is possible. ps. I like the pictures on your site.
If you wrote a "version" based on it, I guess we can see your altered version? I haven't disected the license, but often with open source licenses, altered versions need to be "given" to the public as well.
So I'm curious to see your real time version.
Great, wonderful, society will never be the same. There are such things as 100% anonymous networks. Even the data is encrypted on your harddrive. Unless they keep a gun to your head, you can deny any existance of anything you did or have.
And once you know you're 100% anonymous and 100% safe, people will do very strange things, like download very questionable and highly illegal content. At least, with the torrent stuff, people refrain from looking for really weird stuff. But now the RIAA harassing people, people are going to look for things like i2p. Myself, I attached to i2p once, just once, and saw the titles of the material they have available there. I immediately disconnected, and I never want to see (just the titles even) ever again. Anywhere from young skin to nazi stuff to people getting killed on camera, and all kinds of other weird strange bizarre stuff I literally can't understand and don't want to understand. I will never sink that low. But other scumbag sleezbags will. I'm totally uncomfortable with this.
Thanks RIAA, for pushing people into these totally unacceptable networks. I will forever *HATE* you - you sags of sh1t.
