The only reasonable.... NOT.... way to do it in software would be to implement the inverse (you know, ^{-1}) of the disk driver in sw and then just trick the hardware: generating "proper" data such that, after the plethora of bit crunching done by the hard disk driver, you get what you wanted in the first place.
In short, sounds like big trouble. You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts.
It is weird but nowadays is easy to realize that google ceased "not being evil" sometime back there in 2005~2006.
Now they are just the new microsoft or another corporate giant.. buying whatever they can.. It's like a kid with too much money in their pockets:
they almost stop coding.... they just buy!
Remember google wave? blehg... google buzz? bleh...
Even Google Chrome is not what people imagined it would be..
Next big thing google will do (if they finally manage to pay enough) is buying facebook or twitter.
I would put like:
Let's face it, without some amazing and so-far-unforeseen advances in technology, any on-Earth colonies would die out within a few years of losing support with whatever is outisde. Given that, the presence or absence of those colonies isn't really relevant to the survival of mankind..
It's just a matter of "how long". And also, without putting LOTS of effort into "so-far-unforeseen advances in technology", nothing will happen.
At least in my field (Mobile Robotics), Chinese papers are everywhere but none of the ones I found were some kind of breakthrough.
China is all about volume simply bc they are HUGE.
And also... I'm still waiting to see a major civil war there sometime..
In other news: A Case For the Necessity of Science Fiction
I would really love to see that stuff (and it really sounds a good idea) but.. such things have been said so many times that I can't help but make this connection..
RTFA; it just worked if you were inside facebook's infrastructure, inside the building itself.. so... it's even responsible that they had a password in the first place...
And even then If you think about it.. Chuck Norris is MUCH better than 00000000
This comes in handy to define the worst job a human can get!
Fixing major flaws in a 10 y.o. completely flawed browser...
You could call it: "Senior Ancient Flaws Engineer" or whatever!.. .. not that maintaining IE8 would be much better but I can bet they pay u more!
Amazing, bread and circuses, it still works after 2000+ years.
Precisely.. it's just that it evolved into pasta and soccer.
ps: I'm temporarily living in Italy and most Italians seem to be unaware or such things...
Well.. every bar or Italian's house I get into has a tv with Mediaset (Berslusconi's privately owned network) on..
Italy REALLY looks like "Citizen Kane meets The Godfather"..
It occurs to me that I have seen some 5 different Discovery Channel programs on how mummification was carried out and something I could note is that they were slightly different on "HOW" it was done...
I could bet that whoever is going to do this.. will make it bad.. hahaha
For example, the "taking the brain out through the nose" part seems very tricky demanding extensive expertise..
I don't think a 21st century mummy with her face/nose all messed up is going to find its way to any museum..
Oh! that's some good news... but the problem is that whatever you are not aware of, you are not aware of the lack of knowledge about it.. (\cite{uns"informed" and unaware}).
I say this coz censorship is not like:
For example, do you Chinese friends, know about the story of the guy that *** his **** People's Republic of China ****?
It's much more like: ..
(but indeed.. you using slashdot proves that it aint thaaaat bad! =] )
The engines!! The engines fellas! You only car about war, economics, information... what about the engines!
forget it.. forget my post.. mod it troll for once!
First: I was meant to be funny in some way;
second: you are totally right.. I'm brazillian, totally outsider.. but nevertheless we "trusted" americans..
Some other points:
f22 does exist, works pretty good (as long as it's not needed to cross the IDL..) but it's not as thrilling as it should be..
You are right about the eu and well.. the rest of everything else and that's exactly why it "pisses" me off! "You are my only hope"
Well. but the huskies still impress sometimes.. but.. neeeope
Come folks if you don't think the US is doing enough step up to the plate and show us how it is done. Nothing drives the US like a little competition.
That's so right.. should we secretly engineer a second cold war? that would be sooo nice! But who's up to the job? Al Quaeda? no way!
First they retire the SR-71 without ANY proper replacement...
Now the space shuttle (yeah.. I have known this for a while but I feel like now is the time to let my feelings out!)
What's next? they are going to retire the IIS? GPS satellites? or what!
Americans, you once amused me.. but now.. it's so.. decadent.. it's like the URSS.. depressing..
And don't come with those f22, f35 or "orion" shit.. that's all vaporware.. and no.. the Predator is NOT that cool!
As long as it's not autonomous, it's no big deal! What..? Pilots sitting in the ground and all that.. it's just a harder, better, faster and stronger RC place.
Well.. not that I totally RTFA (which is 90 pages long), but I read some 50 of it and there is plenity of discussion there on WHY your reasoning is totally wrong.
The article is really good and (as far as page 50 goes) is NOT biased..it is much more a funny and insightful discussion about the legal problems o trying to stop something that you can't prove will do any harm to anyone but that neither someone proved that it won't.
I really believe LHC won't destroy earth but really, CERN has changed their theory on WHY it won't destroy earth a few times since the 90s..
The bibliographical work this guy did seems VERY VERY good and amusing to read.
Really.. take some of your time and check the article!
In fact I dont even know which post to reply coz this serves to everyone in the discussion.
Also, to answer the first poster, the fact that no one would be in earth (or anywhere) to take actions IF in fact such a thing occurred is also hilariously discussed on the article; the law implications the article talks about is on how could someone try to STOP the lhc before..
Well.. anyway.. who cares..
Have you ever heard about the n900?
I dunno why everybody continues hyping around skynet's products/blockable devices..
Just go buy your n900 and enjoy pushing Ctrl+shift+x and watching xterm being launched, OTB.
The one phone that you become root of your own device while within the manufacturer's grace.
PS: Do I sound like a nokia fanboi? That's precisely the idea.. we have to deal with apple's and google's ones all the time.. this is my share!
Anyway, we'll just drink vodka with friends and continue feeding our own conspiracy theories saying that in fact this is just a big decoy for something Yuri made to control everyone's mind into believing that, in fact, the "t.A.T.u." girls ARE lesbians!

Insightful is the new Funny.
and 99% of that 9 million posts is:
"testing... testing",
"is this going to work?"
or
"hi all"

Well.. trusting them 3 seems something plausible.. as long as they use one single language and one single measures system (SI) all around..
Does this suggests that in some 16 more years we'll have ~25gb pictures? Scary!
