Good innovation but paper use still kills trees. From a deathan (derivation of word vegan) perspective, buying paper which will eventually be reused is not good unless there is no other option to buying paper.
For printing stuff to function, I've been trying to buy synthetic paper from a company named Yupo, part of Mitsubishi Labratories, and found recyclable paper materials which can be printed on with inkjets (though most of their paper is designed for high volume offset printing).. This inkjet paper is from Japan and they don't sell it at their us division. I asked yupo's us division if they'd sell me some of another kind of yupo paper (cleanpaper for drawing/writing) from japan and have had no success getting an offer. A us cusomer service employee told me a month ago that he sent my message requesting this other kind of paper to Yupo's us marketing division and contacts in Japan; i've gotten no reply. If enough people offered to buy Japan only type paper, they'd probably sell it here. I'm passively interested.
Yupo does have many drawbacks. Of note: 1. Mostly for offset printers. 2. can't use standard photocopiers and standalone laser printers because it will melt the polypropelene which the paper's made out of. 3. Work's best at 20 to 25 degree celsius (70-80 degree fahrenheit I estimate) 4. It's plastic and it takes petroleum, which is highly valuable.
Maybe a process to make such plastic from vegetable oil is available; maybe there are laser printers designed to not overheat paper. The problem is that laser printers use a fusing method which bakes ink set in the desired image: maybe there is a way to cold fuse the ink to the paper. I think that the the laser probably doesn't cause a melting temperature when it scans the paper. But considering that Yupo would definately want to sell such a product, their lack of it signifys that such technology probably isn't available
While this goes against the idea of direct reuse, it bypasses the need for paper. Humans have enough problems but this probably isn't going to create any problems, if its implemented, as long as there are a lot of ink jet printers to handle quick photocopies and such.
(640tb do the job for cpu caching in the volumetric gaming system that's going to be released in 30 years, glad Inputak decided to be realistic, or greedy, and make no hype for publicity so people wouldn't miss out on life. I plan to play the working title virtual planetics (based on competition which united states nations say is going to replace olympics) once I can download it here.
Now that samsung's gone into building gaming systems among the many computing products they make, I don't think it'd be worth it for me on Mars to buy all the quadrabytes of switches in the machine because they'd take up valuable cargo payload capac. and space on a earth-to-mars transporter, since all I want to do is game on it. It's not storable memory, so it'd just be wasted for gamers. And even for those considering doing very light graphics developing with it, I think such a half way system is probably a waste because half way developers probably aren't as effective as real developers, so they'd be wasting cargo capacity that should be spent for professional machines.)Reception of plans for computer gaming systems in the future possibly...
This is a catch-22, kind of hypocritical coming from a dude who writes at an 8th grade level in terms of of factual basis and content length . I mean, you didn't really say anything: what is the purpose of your statement, considering it is false?
Outside of a-51, some people make moral mistakes while doing complicating professional level stuff along the way and don't even notice them. Take for instance them building that 5 million $ seed shack up in svalbardslush: it's really complicating to make, but there are people dying right now from curable illnesses, and it won't even guarentee saving a single person in the future because there's never going to be doomsday on earth in the foreseeable future if world leaders don't goof off and nuke the entire world, there's never been a comet that has hit the earth to cause annihilation that I have witnessed and I don't understand that there ever will be.
From my reading of Ayn Rand's books (objectivist epistemology, anthem, the fountainhead) I know that she rights about moral problems, which address many issues that are missed by the people I mentioned in the first sentence of the second paragraph, and ideals. A lot of parts of Ayn Rand's books I burn and request editing from the editors, such as the garbage silly woman stuff, improper use of metaphors (badly, probably unintentionally, used some metaphors in past and present respect to write poetically rather than a future respect to describe something that there simply isn't a word on (i.e. If there is a primitive person who has never seen a plane before, the person would probably not call it a plane)), and some of it is morally wrong itself, but then there is the stuff on focus, the meaning of life, risk, and cynicism that gives a person knowledge.
Yea, the article's about
an interesting peculiarity of some organic compound and also writes about the prospects of using the electricity of that peculiarity.
The CG's, the spaceships of which haven't been designed from what NASA publishes, go well in continuity with the theory that IntAct labs haven't actually designed even the basics of power pickups to the proteins. The article notes that as far as future application is concerned, it's going to be a challenge. I perceive that it'll be difficult, highly probable possible, to make something that's lightweight (environment for hair cells, which supply prestin protein, might way a lot with water), compactable (power pickups have to be ideal: stronger, though not necessarily better, harnesses add more weight), and convenient for use (something around a keyboard assembly's level of complexity:think of matching a keyboard's thin plastic circuit board to it's punched out holes, which hold it in place) along with their future goal of self assembling proteins.
NIST is either looking for an entirely revolutionary function to the SHA series, considering the emphasis that SHA-1 has been around since 1995, or seeking a function that supplies words greater than 64bits and also but albeit distantly 256bit and higher to counter higher chunk rate processors. If they're looking for something different than SHA, here are factors they are considering: the fact that all the SHA hashes after SHA-1 use part, maybe all, of SHA-1's 4 functions and vary only by the function's output word bit size, which SHA-256 and SHA-384-512 change with summation functions into the mix. For example, here is SHA-1's functions
f subscript t (x,y,z) =
Ch(x,y,z)=(x^y) xor (complement x^z) 0 less than or = t less than or = 19
Parity (x,y,z)=x xor y xor z 20 less than or = t less than or = 39
Maj (x,y,z)=(x^y) xor (x^z) xor (y^z) 40 less than or = t less than or = 59
Parity (x,y,z)=x xor y xor z 60 less than or = t less than or = 79
I think dr.badass said why OpenMacGrid is innovative.
namely that it uses Xgrid whereas for other distributed computing projects a user would have to adapt code to a certain format.
The future company save file submissions represent what business op fact sheets might possibly be marketed on Trenchmice.com by corporations.
one could read the rest and could notice the whole of unity (look closely left here).
Coward asked about caffeine. I swear why does the rest of my family digest cow and muscle of jello?!??
In the future, you could ask questions to contacts of some corporation, as in 'Deer Dirt', in Japan and at the US division.
also, is anybody going to give a scoop of trenchmice.com, I hear their corporate tactics rival those other 2553ers? It's well run by the people
We have a dedicated development and design staff of three, and a stellar advisory board
/. surfing and future recreationation are as red beans to rice
trenchmice could improve its game by letting companies submit their save files.
Currently things aren't this way.
Real world recreation counterpart in virtual competition: Some Utah cafes where people go to get a bight to eat and socialize. One in Seattle has an xbox and there is a highly probable possibility that other places do as well. There's a price shock: visitors get the opportunity to game the valuing system and difficultly make appraisals on chow. Spending a billion dollars on a bagel is a lowly probable possibility.
'Pay what you want cafes' would benefit at no cost to the consumer if the owners set prices for products. It'd advertise to people the system's needs. [Getting rid of the name would be a no brainer] Consumers could still steal the stuff and/or pay what they want. This would give a chance at least for consumers to get what they want while paying what they want and save time. This probably would result in some people getting sent to jail: but it'd set a new precedent for further future 'steal what you want' shops. The other chance is that owners might charge too much. Bottom line is that having prices is ideal and there is a chance that you'll save some time.
Propounding an idea: it'd be a great for Trenchmice to encourage dumpster diving to find confidential company records to find out if companies have ball and crane tactics for getting and managing an inventory of ahrkmm cough*scrap*cough workers. Besides that, Trenchmice could consult microsoft for advise on how to display statements on corporate condition and values they have for employees. [Even though Microsoft's personal agenda sucks, I respect their decent side projects--such as live search, xbox, and working with bungie--and would consider considering (I'm in no position to make such decisions myself) microsoft for the job]
Of course efficiency is important. And in my perspective efficiency is considerably good for the latest computers. Every computer or software improvement that's made which increases processing power somewhere around 25% while gaining only a 100 watts in power consumption or some other proportional change is an improvement; there is the volunteer opportunity to use idle processing power on distributed computing projects.
Yea wonder how those slave herding stock holders don't bite the dust every time things go wrong with management. I bet you to an online chess game that they'got a voting system that don't play around online. Crudely speaking large and small businesses use SSL protocol/s that have many proven secure methods of encryption, one which I know about is the RSA public key algorithm which establishes script keys for direct communication between users. concerning a virus threat to a user's execution of this process, it is very vulnerable to an incomplete transmission or distorted transmission, which is why a record should be broadcast by the other user to allow verification of the message. A corrupted old message could be discarded and replaced with a new one by other means or not. A telephone call from the home of the user whose message was corrupted to an authority could seal the deal in terms of verification, in case a virus stole the user's other forms of id.
In a voting scenario, a credit card, social security number, name, and address info are what I'd say are at least a part of what should be asked for. [reiterating the above system in a different scenario] The Government gives every voter who requests to commit their sole vote an encryption algorithm (i.e. gnuPG or modern PGP) to encrypt their ballot vote and send this ballot vote to the government who have the unique decoding key to their encoding. I think this could be done systematically with the ssl package.
For people whose votes get corrupted, they could use voter machines. Finishing up my last post, in florida why switch a decent touch system for another decent system that suffers the same flaw in paper consumption (considering that the touch screen's had printers added with them) receipt is to be printed. The touch screens have potential.
it wastes a considerable (car dealership sized) amount of paper.
Consequently, yo support voting online with the right government setup. Online voting being optional optional and money matters aside, money seems a tangible 'paper trail' which we already have so why not use credit cards on an individual basis as to increase credibility voting online.
ID theft is decreasing in several respects.
I understand there might still be some people in the everglades who still live in open-air chickee huts with no utility services, so a real voting machine is a necessity. Here's what I figure should be done to get the best machine system:
This bill is a bad idea: there are bound to be some artists who want to copyright their work but 'not with DRM encryption' but will be forced to encrypt the work anyway, which is bull shit. I'm a student and I'll record streaming internet radio when I want or die trying.
First of all my previous post was bad in that it told people 'who couldn't respond' what to do. 'What it was saying' as an ideal example was good. So my flawed post has a score (the more negative the degree, the worse; the more postive the degree, the better) of zero.

Are you being sarcastic or are you acting the fool only?
If so, your post is flawed (one should figure it out...) but not by any of the things I am about to mention. The sarcastic post is good in that it doesn't mean the parasitic garbage your post said (I'll get to this later). So your flawed sarcastic post would have a score of zero.
If not, Good thing TIVO can skip ads...people can skip junk they don't need to watch. PC's can do that and more miracles. For example, a program's on that seeps corruption into my brain: give the writer and the program some constructive criticism that will burn each's obstructive dullness and create ability in place. Your post did make a good comment,
don't be selfish
,on the flaw of my original post. Otherwise, 'from thought to writing' your action was twisted: your mentioning of 3 'illusory actions (unrelated to source topic)', which I'm not going to repeat because doing such would illusorily acknowledge realness of illusions. In this respect, your flawed post has a score of -2.

Amazing what cryptanalysis can do!
Now, if only the decoders would make something of the spaghetti code (encrypted word/s) data of the war/tyranncy/sabotage/game/trauma (I don't know what it is exactly) in Iraq and give some real leadership to our country. And TIVO could gain some market share from civilians and insurgents who had watched YouTube: if Iraq achieves a good state of civility and there aren't any more stunts to video record on YouTube.
Despite what post 16816536 said.
I for one would think twice before buying a new computer.
I read on a website on computer resouce costs that
In 1995, the production of a single six-inch silicon wafer required 3,200 cubic feet of bulk gases, 22 cubic feet of hazardous gases, 2,275 gallons of deionized water, 20 pounds of chemicals, and 285 kilowatt hours of electrical power. In the process, 25 pounds of sodium hydroxide, 2,840 gallons of waste water, and 7 pounds of miscellaneous hazardous wastes were generated."
This doesn't apply only to the computer science industry of course: what big corporations in, say, hollywood marketing that make plastic happy meal toys for movies, and plastic super-soaker water guns are doing is shortsited and wrong too. There's plenty of more sustainable forms of entertainment: like chess, checkers, and capture the flag with bamboo water guns.
Sure, we'll probably never run out of aluminum and steel. But that doesn't mean finding such resources is as easy as digging a hole in a field. No, in today's world resources are getting harder to find and aren't often the easy berries in the field anymore. It's gotten to where some companies in metal mining have investigated and are seriously taking into consideration mining under the ocean
But most people planning on buying new computers probably don't consider this; while many people buy computers on a need basis, I suspect many others probably buy when they don't need to to keep pace with technology. With the allure of time conveniences and great performance associated with new technologies, its demanding, but as long as nerds takes steps similar to prolonging the use of an old computer to save resources, at least part of the population is not going to run into a doomsday dumpster world.
While I myself am all for unregulated business, I think it's important to achieve sustainability, not so much for the current general population, but for my own interest in the future population. For example, I read on a website that
it is now widely agreed among both economists and physical scientists that energy or mineral resource scarcity is not likely to be a growth limiting factor, at least for the next half-century or so.
As an example of the importance of recycling or continuing using copper and other such things in computers now, diesel used to be 10cents a gallon when my grandpa just started fishing with his own boat in the 1950's or so; I'm sure the price of copper and other such things have risen similarly. And I suspect that's the way its going to continue rising from today on. If something's scarce, recycle it and make a buck longterm while at it.
as usual big name company, like Intel, expects cowardly dealing with a pc manufacturer, like dell. After playing foul though, look at how Dell severed corrupt corporate ties by opening up ventures with AMD despite Intel's release of the powerful core 2 conroe processor line and even starts offering rebates for PCs bought that don't intend to use M$ os despite the upcoming release of Vista.
Acer should throw a bucket of Soyo pcb chip sauce in M$'s face and not give in to Microsoft's outrageous pricing.
in the BBC article
The software is a major overhaul of Windows and updates many of the core technologies. New elements include improved security, an improved 3D interface, plus new sound and networking technologies
No security in Microsoft products: considering you're only secure when software is designed by people who don't care what the intent is behind hackers. Bill Gates must have worn some 3d spectacles if he'd saw an inkling of 3d interface on windows xp?
Wise consumers see that Vista lacks creative inspiration, is cookie cut from Mac OS X graphic design, and is duct taped together with the cage of.net (microsoft said in an ad once, "think inside the box"). Its the thing corp software CEO's dream of for potential berry customers who believe what others tell them to believe and are ignorant of any self-creativity: in that Vista has no reputable faults to publicize because its nothing, has all the feel of a collective network virtual world where everything's provided to a user arbitrarily (like a jail), and M$ has 90% of the software market's support.
Funny how these 100$ systems don't seem like the type to take tons of time loading. I remember 13 years ago watching Doom II install on a mac and take an hour and half more or less. With what a person who has never done computing might do it'd seem blazing fast and like a movie.
Diagnosing using other people's reasoning... isn't that against the point of a doctor having earned a medical degree. Of course Google and any other search engine is an excellent tool for gathering valuable info. And its good as long the doc uses it for scientific facts and figures but its shady to be second -handing off other people's methods. The only way to get a Doctor that isn't prone to consider, for ex, chopping a 2 year old's tonsils out to prevent a tonsilitis that can never happen is to make sure the doc uses gathered knowledge to make independent medical decisions.
Another problem with stacked processors, besides heat, is that to really take advantage of the proximity the interface would have to be changed to one that integrates individual units of each processor more directly. This is far from conventional in terms of normal multicore-chip manufacture and would suffer from non-mainstream extra costs. Still, it should be designed and manufactured: the costs would go down when demand follows.
I've read that, like 3d microprocessors, memory dies have often been stacked one on top of another (in slower DDR, DDR2 and NAND flash memory). The stacking allows good performance capacity upgrades with limited space; it's more cost effective! If Stacked memory dies sandwich a memory controller, the closer and faster operation would solve a big problem of distance latencies found in the cooperation of single memory dies embedded far apart on a flat circuit board with a memory controller. I could see a mainstream purely stacked memory chip. And if the nanotube interconnect idea works, it could be well implemented in both smaller individual dies and stacked ones.
or has it? Blu-Ray can hold much more data. They'll release the 50 gb dual layer.
Sure HD-DVD has more backwards compatibility but consider the metaphor that knowledge of history books doesn't guarantee winning a war: intelligent quality does.
I read on xbox's website http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/xbox360/whyhddv d.htm that the only unique reason Microsoft chose HD-DVD was its greater durability. But Microsoft is undermining that durability is a trivial consideration and that Blu-Ray disks are going to hold up on par with HD-DVD in taking the common scuffs.

Acer should throw a bucket of Soyo pcb chip sauce in M$'s face and not give in to Microsoft's outrageous pricing.

No security in Microsoft products: considering you're only secure when software is designed by people who don't care what the intent is behind hackers. Bill Gates must have worn some 3d spectacles if he'd saw an inkling of 3d interface on windows xp?Wise consumers see that Vista lacks creative inspiration, is cookie cut from Mac OS X graphic design, and is duct taped together with the cage of .net (microsoft said in an ad once, "think inside the box"). Its the thing corp software CEO's dream of for potential berry customers who believe what others tell them to believe and are ignorant of any self-creativity: in that Vista has no reputable faults to publicize because its nothing, has all the feel of a collective network virtual world where everything's provided to a user arbitrarily (like a jail), and M$ has 90% of the software market's support.
Funny how these 100$ systems don't seem like the type to take tons of time loading. I remember 13 years ago watching Doom II install on a mac and take an hour and half more or less. With what a person who has never done computing might do it'd seem blazing fast and like a movie.
Diagnosing using other people's reasoning...
isn't that against the point of a doctor having earned a medical degree.
Of course Google and any other search engine is an excellent tool for gathering valuable info. And its good as long the doc uses it for scientific facts and figures but its shady to be second -handing off other people's methods. The only way to get a Doctor that isn't prone to consider, for ex, chopping a 2 year old's tonsils out to prevent a tonsilitis that can never happen is to make sure the doc uses gathered knowledge to make independent medical decisions.
Another problem with stacked processors, besides heat, is that to really take advantage of the proximity the interface would have to be changed to one that integrates individual units of each processor more directly. This is far from conventional in terms of normal multicore-chip manufacture and would suffer from non-mainstream extra costs. Still, it should be designed and manufactured: the costs would go down when demand follows.
I've read that, like 3d microprocessors, memory dies have often been stacked one on top of another (in slower DDR, DDR2 and NAND flash memory). The stacking allows good performance capacity upgrades with limited space; it's more cost effective! If Stacked memory dies sandwich a memory controller, the closer and faster operation would solve a big problem of distance latencies found in the cooperation of single memory dies embedded far apart on a flat circuit board with a memory controller. I could see a mainstream purely stacked memory chip. And if the nanotube interconnect idea works, it could be well implemented in both smaller individual dies and stacked ones.
or has it?

Blu-Ray can hold much more data.
They'll release the 50 gb dual layer.
Sure HD-DVD has more backwards compatibility but consider the metaphor that knowledge of history books doesn't guarantee winning a war: intelligent quality does.
I read on xbox's website http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/xbox360/whyhdd
that the only unique reason Microsoft chose HD-DVD was its greater durability. But Microsoft is undermining that durability is a trivial consideration and that Blu-Ray disks are going to hold up on par with HD-DVD in taking the common scuffs.
So now the Democrats are going to force us 'to not respect copyright' in some instances.
We'll have less freedom.
