I recently implemented a General Operations Daemon (GOD) that builds on the standard Linux system calls, but adds an advanced AI interface to handle all transactions. For instance, the core is able to manage processes by any user (at any level) on any host (on any platform) by superceeding the kernel with a set of Advanced Network Generic Extendable Languages (ANGELs). Each ANGEL is written to handle a specific platform. Currently the Linux ANGEL is having communication problems with the Win 9x/NT/2000 ANGEL and the BSD ANGEL seems to be so secure that it won't respond to requests made by the system (GOD).
In addition to the extensive user coverage that the system provides, GOD also spawns its own processes for dealing with internal conflicts. In addition to squashing virus/trojan infections, GOD will also fry 31337 K1d3Z (and other violators) demoting them to negative user space where the Dynamic Extraction and Violator Inventorying Librarian (DEVIL) takes over and restricts the offending party by replacing their keyboard map with values retrieved from/dev/random and forcing all of their processes to execute at negative NICE values.
So my question is, do I release my GOD, ANGEL and DEVIL modules as an Open Source solution, or do I follow the guidance of RMS and follow the practices of the Free Software Foundation?
Oops, I forgot the GRAIN OF SALT tags. Forgive me.
To go along with the ice printer, Z corp has a corn starch based 3D printer that uses a standard inkjet nozzle that squirts water onto a layer of "dough". For each pass, a new layer of dough is rolled out over the top of the previous.
Oh, and this unit can also print in color, so say goodbye to handmaking those christmas sugar cookies.
Here's a spark of ingenuity to combat the ongoing struggle between big media corporations and innovative college coders.
Unplug. World wide. That ought to do it. Hell, while were at it, throw away the walkmans, stereos, and tvs. Might as well tear down the movie theaters too. (just to be sure) Then we sit around and act like neanderthals for about a decade, then regroup and plug back in.
If all else fails, assume jedi imposing stance: Any media is free media. Any media is free media.
I had an advance preview pass for a showing last night that I won from a contest, and since the price was right (free!) I went and dragged a friend along as well.
Having seen the not so thrilling previews, and having heard the large amount of negative hype about the movie, I was prepared for a not-so-great, stereotypical "movie-version" of our favorite comic. I was pleasantly surprised. The story had a pretty rocky beginning, but after about half an hour it started picking up, although the first mutant fight sequence (post wolverine thru truck window scene) was marginally confusing and inconsistent with the atmosphere that the film had developed up until then. After this scene, everything seems to come together a bit better. The story and characters develop a bit more, and there are a few (small number) of breathtaking shots. The speed of development continues until the end, where once again things jump around a bit while loose ends are wrapped up. The special effects also varied, and the quality of similar types of FX would seem rock solid at one particular point, while shamingly obvious at another. The element of 'outcast' prevails throughout the film more than I would have thought, but I did not find that it detracted from the original story. And, as expected, the ending works things up for a sequel.
Overall I would say that it is enjoyable and worth seeing, although save your money and go to a matinee. I have to admit that a couple of the one-liners were particularly good, with the exception of Storm's confrontation with toad (where the lack of a punchline truly showed it's ill effects).
While I respect John Cramer's knowledge on the subject, he prides himself a little too much on his published work and neglects his teaching skills. I took his introductory lectures on Electromagnetics and Oscillatory Motion at the UW, and, unfortunately, I learned more from Holliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics than I did from his course.
This seems to be a common trend at universities: Hiring research professors to bring respect to the college, while forgetting about the needs of the students. Of course, ideally there should be a high correlation between one's research skills and one's teaching ability.
According to NPR this morning, when the local law enforcement entered the suspects house they found a wide assortment of computer periphenalia.
Who on earth doesn't have at least some form of computer periphenalia laying around the house? That remote control you use for the TV is pretty suspicious. Not to mention the fuzzy logic can opener. Hey, what about the kids furby?
One of the dorms at the University of Washington is over eleven stories tall and each cluster has a balcony. Needless to say that every year an assortment of goods gets its few seconds of air time. Everything from flaming toilet paper rolls (flying dragons) to dismembered computers.
The best one we ever pulled was a USWEST phone book. It's absolutely amazing how loud six seconds of page flapping can be, not to mention the incredible boom that can result from a direct hit in an empty metal dumpster located in a basement level loading garage (13 stories total).
I can see it now. Pipe the spectrum analyzer into GLWolfenstein.
Your actions are now dependent on the audio you're playing. Spikes in intensity result in gunfire, changes in frequency alter direction (notes go down, view goes left), and tempo determines speed of movement.
Just think...playing 'The Who' might actually get you through a level!
