  6. Re:Self defeating? on Threat To Free, Legal Guitar Tablature Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And I wonder what this will do to the next generation of musicians? well, it will be like back in the 70s when they didnt have the internets to check for tabs.
    to be honest, removing tabs would be like filtering out all those non-talented musicians who would give up learning if they can't LISTEN to the music. ofcourse the RIAA wants to remove that as well.
  7. Are we ready for such a future? on Using Technology to Enhance Humans · · Score: 1

    having a chip inside our brain to answer our email messages? Are we ready for such a future? I was gonna say something but suddently all I think is HOW TO ENLARGE MY PENIS i dont know why

    you guys i was actually kidding

  13. From the article: on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 3, Funny

    An astonishing number of stories related to HD-DVD encryption keys have gone missing in action from digg.com

  15. for the fire exits on Buildings Could Save Energy By Spying On Workers · · Score: 1

    "illuminate the most appropriate escape signs in an emergency." for all of you said "damn all escape signs should be illuminated", maybe this is not about energy saving, rather having the sensors to choose the most appropriate as in only the ones that lead to a safe route which is not collapsed or burned down already.
  16. spyware? on Spy Act of 2007 = "Vendors Can Spy Act" · · Score: 1

  17. battery on "Smart Dust" to Explore Planets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if the demand for collecting and distributing data in real time would be feasible with such small
    batteries. Battery lifetime is a challenge itself for smart dust, what happens when the application requires
    data to be transmitted all the time in order to monitor changes constatly, how long would the nodes last? In
    battlefields there's no need to transmit data unless something happens, like an explosion will trigger an event.

    Anyhow, this is a great idea and makes a very good project!

  18. Re:Are you telling me ... on Mars Global Surveyor Died from Single Bad Command · · Score: 1

    I guess they really have cut their budget.
    this must be true! in fault tolerance, when the system reaches a bad state, it should undo by
    using backward error recovery: saved variables in past checkpoints which will allow a rollback to a good state.
    This is ofcourse costly in terms of processing and data storage, and may not always succeed:
    "Please ignore incoming missle."

  21. well on Getting the Most Out of a CS Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    let the course lead you to your destiny. I started my course (now 3rd year undergrad) and my career goal was to be in IT security, but now I see more than that. I'm more interested in AI or Distributed Systems. You will have to make decisions during your course so just take the road and see where it takes you. If you really like what you are doing you will make the right choices.
