I have recently been reading a series of articles here and here regarding the multi-core parallel programming problem. The guy seems like he could be a little out there on the edge, but his concept for the COSA project, and fine grain parallelism seem really attractive to me. I have been thinking about trying to implement a COSA virtual machine to try it out.
I have also been thinking about trying to implement the COSA hardware in an FPGA, but that seems like a much harder project
I used to use these all the time when playing Diablo with friends, if someone we did not know joined the game, i would use a sniffer to get their IP and prepare to crash their PC if they turned on us. Or we would tell them that there was a secret "Level up" if they dropped all their cash and items on the ground and stood between two cows. once they dropped their stuff we would punt them and steal it:)
The better way to do it is to start with a construction platform in geostationary orbit. build your cable and spool it out towards the earth. At the same time spool out a counterweight exactly opposite to the cable, such that your center of mass always stays in the same place (at the platform in geostationary).
I have often thought of the joystick idea myself, although mostly due to the geek factor rather than the idea that it would be "better" than the alternative.
The nice thing about a wheel that often gets missed is that it provides a nice solid handle for the driver to support themselves with when they need to manuver quickly.
Not sure if you where thinking about this too, but I also considered the idea of having the sticks fore/aft movement controlling throttle/brake, however you run into the same issue. Stepping on a convetional brake also serves to brace your body in the seat.
Camera systems in cars are becoming more and more popular, but the cost of them seems to keep them out of all but the high end models so far.
I have always wanted to have a full F16 style HUD in a car. I belive there have been several models that had HUDs just for the speed, but they never seem to catch on.
Have you ever tried to implement these ideas in a real car? I have often thought of buying an old beater just to try these types of things.
Yes, that is exactly how it works. Radio stations pay royalties every time a song is played. But you cant just start a radio station (or a website) and start giving away music, and send a check to the music company. You have to have a contract with them.
Thats the difference. Music companies want people to hear their product on the radio, and don't want them to be able to download it. Its too easy for them to give it too all their friends.
The barriers to piracy are higher on the radio. Less people are willing to bother.
> Realtime performance means fast interrupt servicing
Sorry, but I think you are mistaken on this one. "Realtime" OS's have nothing to do with serviceing interrupts in "Real Time". The primary concern with a real time OS is that the absolute worst case interrupt latency is known in advance. Raw performance is not usually the limiting factor in these designs, worst case performance is always what is considered.
Simple statistics and probability will tell you that you can't increase the accuracy of a sample by doing it wrong several times and taking the average.
What I recall is that the fuel additave was supposed to gell and stop the fuel from atomizing. In the demo that I saw with the 747, It just plain didn't work.
"Black Box" is a bit of a misnomer. They are usualy orange and yellow so they can be found easier and are normally refferd to as the "Flight Data Recorder" and the "Cockpit Voice Recorder". But what do you really expect to learn from them in this case. The planes where hijacked, and then they where crashed on purpose. These things we already know. The "Black Boxes" are only really valuable to figure out WHY a plane crashed, and this we already know.

I always liked that one...
I recently started working on a simple controll system for linux. Its basically just a hacked up parralell port driver that allows me to control 8 individual track segments from my paralell port. At the moment I am having trouble designing the power pack that will take the TTL level signal from the LPT port and apply it properly to the track.
Does anyone have any links to sites where people are working on this stuff?
Yeah I got it to work with my TNT card using the OpenGL libs on Nvidia's site but performace was 10fps on my PII450. You are better off finding an old Voodoo2 for $10 until they get some good drivers.
I agree, I don't see how you can call this a game against the "World" when most of the world team is just following the advice of an expert. Its just a slow moving chess game between Kasparov and Krush where the "World Team" is just a pawn (excuse the pun) that moves the pieces for Krush.
It would be interesting to see a game against the world where each of the World Team members had to make thier decision on thier own....

Sounds like an "OOB" attack using winnuke or a "Ping of Death"

"Why it gotta be blue?"
From my POV, this is the most racist statement in your post.
Just what we need, another looser claming to have invented the internet. Everyone knows that Microsoft invented the internet.

Just curious, how would you design the controlls in a car if it where up to you?
A revocation key will be generated and I'll be issued a new key.
Of course, you won't be able to read any of your old court documents signed with your old public key anymore will you?

Yeah well his french accent aint that great either!!!
This is nuts! By this reasoning they should ban the bible too.. How about the flood???
OK, get me your email address and I will send you the details of what I am working on. Maybe we can come up with somthing interesting.
