The ideal fix, would be to have a variable timeout on open connection, depending on how many open ones there are.
A simple thing like auto timing out the oldest connection once the a near maximum number of connections are
open should be enough. Apache should also be limit the number of connections from any one IP address, to a small number.
Hope these go in Apache soon.
Art is always sex and violence?, Paintings and drawing hardly ever are sex or violence. Movies are often sex and violence, but there plenty of biopics and storytelling movies which aren't. Games are often violence and rarely sexual, (could be due to interface, you need that mouse hand). Sex, Violence and Death, are of course the strongest emotions a human can feel, so naturally are the most common themes as jaded emotion lead to ever stronger content. Movies, aren't protected as free speech in most countries, the're rated, censors, and there limits
to what you can show, so the videogame industry can hardly ask for freedom by comparing itself to the movie industry. The case for media censorship of the games and movie industry is
largely based on the monkey see, monkey do argument, that if people see a criminal activity there likely to follow it. Its difficult to argue to people don't copy what they see in the media, they often do. However if the movie/game, is a mortality tale, then it may prevent the crime, by showing the wrong doer getting his/her just doom. That doesn't often happen in games, more kills usually equals winning in games.
This is so cool. First of all I want this stuff for cavity insulation in my flat.

Having said that the BEC stuff might be either very loud or very hot, depend
on the frequency spectrum it emits, BEC loudspeakers might be possible
by varing the heat input to the supersonic regions.

Is blogging egotistical, almost certainly, but then so are all are little opinons we venture in slashdot.
But lets take the extreme oposite view, is it true, that if your unimportant, you shouldn't have an
opinion. If we took that view, it would be the end of both democracy and much of the internet.
Humans have a nature need to be important to other humans, hence these vain (in both senses of the word)
attempts to other people read us, and perhaps relate to us.

Very true, the cost is more important, solar power is approaching parity with
oil and gas, and is supposed to reach it at 5 cents per watt. The article didn't
give the price of the roll up solar cells, so i've no idea how close to that it
is, but such advances will steadier push the balance of prices into solars
favor, which is to happen expected by 2012.
How much of software writing is software engineering. To deserve the name engineering
take a problem that has to deeply analysised calculating a method of solution, programming
is sometimes like that. But often i find i can start programming the solution straight away
with just a bit of thinking about the class/object structure of the eventual program. When its
like that is more like authoring a book, then engineering a machine.
Except your eyes don't sit staring at one spot even when you think
your staring at one spot, your eyes continuously flicker around and scan the
general direction your looking at in order to build up a image of the
world. I think there has already been several machines that read where
your looking from the reflection off your eyes, with middling results. In general
people just can't hold the stare, even if the machine can average out the
microscans of the eyes.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stealthy spy plane of the sci-fi days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
I'm most surprised that AMDs extra two cores didn't give it an advantage in many of the server
applications, I know that the Xeons are 4 way superscalar (instructions running in the pipeline
in each core) versus AMDs 3 way. So as the article said its only 18 AMD instructions per
clock versus 16 intels, instead of 4 versus 3. But this is only for the shorter instructions. 8 core
xeons are expected in autumn so any tenuous lead AMD has anywhere in performance is
going to disappear fairly soon. But never-mind, AMD still can win on price and expandability.
I'm running dual core, dual socket on my server at the moment, so slipping in a couple
of new instanbuls or shanghis is a instant double or tripling of power.
Well assume you can change any organ for a new one, except the brain, you'd probably be limited to 180 years which the is
age a natural brain can live to. You would live lot less long if your unfortunate to have the genes for some neurological condition.
You can't transplant a new brain in when your old one goes,so your a bit stuck there. Gradually topping up your brain with new stem cells, and periodical remove old damage ones, would
be possible, you'd feel consistency in your self, despite being slow changed, and that is not too different from normal living.

They we're doing it for a gradiate thesis. At least Neuroph was built for a thesis.
What conventional method for image recognition do you think would be faster?
As a programmer, Neuroph looks like pretty good implement of Neural Networks, it handers most of the network types, Got built in graphic view of the output. Look nice, but which like as not, won't help, because you can rarely debug a neural network by looking at it.
I've use neural network and genetic programming a few time, in work. Its completely different to normal programming. Instead of understand a problem completely, and write a structured solution to the task. You get a network and try and train it until its output matches what you think the output should be, no programming involved.

Its been known for a long time, that people with flu, are prone to bacteria and secondary infections, e.g. when flu gets a completion of pneumonia via bacteria. The article didn't mention a mechanism for the weekening of the immune system, perphaps its just that its to busy with the
existing flu.
where L is the length it needs to tunnel and E is
energy barrier the particles tunnelling though.
The second type of light through walls, depends on there being a axion or some other very light weakly interacting particle for the photons to change into, and so the probability could be anything, depending on the properties of the new particle.
Neither the second or third kinds, depend (much) on the length the particle has to tunnel through.
This won't be debunked, its true. Once you look at the feynman diagrams its obviously a possible effect. Trouble is, it will have a very low probability, at each end of the conversion possible you've got two weak force vertices, and one of the heavy 80/90 GeV/c^2 W or Z weak force carriers. So the total amplitude goes as E^2/M_w^2 g_w^4 and square that for a probablity. So for photons that might need to tunnel (optical frequencies about 1eV) you have a tunnelling probability of 10^-18, that so very rare physicists will probably never see it.

So pleased at the news, losing my eyes, is my number one fear, no eyes = no computers games, no programming, and no porn. Blindness would be sure hell.
Reading the article, is hardly ready for use, so far only tested on rats and pigs. There'll be many years of trials before its ready for use on people. Plus Stem cells have be known to turn cancerous, cancer of the retina, would be quickly fatal, there so close to the brain.
Stem cells have tremendous potential to cure disease and even to reverse the aging process. The next twenty years of research might total change the sad process of aging in human.
Much as i'd love humans to have quantum tunnelling brains giving them special powers like in Greg Egans Quanantine. I have to agree with the above, people are stupid explanation.
I'm not surprised, at all at the degree of penetration, of the netbook market. Given the netbook is aimed at the general public and they aren't very expensive. They'd be a lot cheaper with a linux OS its true. But even now, its only those with technical skills that would use Linux.

With writing C++ you have worries about memory management, error managment (exceptions), and multithreading that you simply don't have with Java. So java is a much both a much stronger and easier language.
Not surprising your scared for Aliens. But the chance of nearby planet being at a similar level of evolution is very slim. On earth life took, 4 billion years to form civilisation. Yet a space faring race could fill the galaxy in a million years. Not at all sure why you find machine intelligences less scaring than biological ones. Both can chew up resources very quickly. Are the laws of economics different for a robot?
