That sounds awful writing an app like that. I've been writing the app I've been working on with Python using the QT4 libraries. I use the webkit module of QT to display HTML, and it does that beautifully. And the Python basically works as a glue language to get all the modules that are written in C++ to work together. I don't know why anyone would, instead of something like that, decide to as the article was saying, use webkit and javascript to do the whole gui and program logic and everything. Anyway the way I'm doing it you get all the benefit of C++ performance, the easy programming of python, and the portability of QT without trying to build this complete inner platform where everything is running as a call to the browser instead of the operating system. What's next, the browser gets so much native app support that they program a browser within the browser for just viewing webpages securely?
They could have just one thumb drive that comes with the system, and you go to the store and they copy a game to it, and back it up/install on the console.
I wrote a computer program once that plotted the planets moving in the Copernican solar system. Then you can just subtract the Earth's coordinates from every object so the Earth stays at 0,0 and everything moves in strange ways around it. It is pretty interesting to look at but you can see why they would have a hard time mapping it out.
If you just enlarged this structure in every direction a thousand fold it wouldn't support it's own weight because the volume and thus the weight of the beams is going up cubically while the lengths only go up linearly. This is the explanation I've heard for why you couldn't have an ant the size of a dinosaur the spindly legs only work at very small sizes.
Yeah, but not knowing how to make a linked list in C++ because you spend all your time doing all this other stuff is like an engineer saying he spends all his time using a plotter and autocad so he can't remember how to use a screwdriver.
One easy one to just use a different length between every consecutive note is the pattern 1,88,2,87,3,86...44,45. At first i thought you meant the length between every pairwise combination of notes but that would be impossible as if you had used 3 and 9 you could never use note 15 because the length between 15 and 9 would be the same as between 3 and 9. This pattern I'm suggesting is very regular though, so I guess maybe there is another condition beyond using a different length between consecutive notes? Also I think very repetitive music and too simple of a pattern in music is worse to listen to than what you demonstrated.

I think testing AMD's FX chip and Intel's by pairing them with powerful graphics cards kind of misses the point of Bulldozer, which would be how well it does without the additional graphics card. I think the best comparison would be $235 for the AMD chip and $225 for the Intel chip but add to the Intel price the price of a mediocre graphics card that you would need to add to it to do the stuff the AMD chip does by itself.
I hate when yeast are being all elusive making scientists search for decades like that.

I see now I guess with lenses DPI would be better but is that a limiting factor when they build projectors, or are they always able to focus a 1080p image at as small an area as they want?

Could you buy a 100" 1080p projector and use a lens to make it a 25" 4320p projector?
Hi, I was looking at my desktop behemoth here and I was thinking what if instead of the motherboard you have your Rasperry Pi board, and instead of the power supply a DC brick and instead of the cd-rom drive the sd card slot... I'm imagining included in this tiny tower would be the usb hub components with wi-fi and blue tooth adapters so that you could just have this little tower that just had an hdmi and power plug coming out of it... I wonder how small this tower could be?
Well, Python is much faster than it was a decade ago because computers have doubled in speed 6 times since then. That's more than the 60 fold that Python is slower than C by. I think all the nice features of Python make it so you can write a complex program much faster and easier but you take an admittedly pretty severe performance penalty as it is right now, but imagine if as much time had gone into JIT Python as has gone into JIT javascript where it would be.
If people ever begin trading for things with a billionth of a bitcoin, like say some alpaca socks, wouldn't that mean that a bitcoin I buy today will be in the future worth a billion alpaca socks? Isn't that the definition of deflation that I don't want to spend bitcoins but hoard them?
And someone would shine shoes back then for a nickel whereas now they might charge 2.50. So what people are making has gone up 50 fold as well, negating the 50 fold devaluation of currency.

All those creatures were radish based lifeforms though.
Will it also make some places more habitable?

Well to stop convective you could just sandwich it between two layers of plastic, right?

You misspelled Metro 10 times in your post.
Oh my bad, I was thinking of the sequel to Bulldozer: Pile-driver.

I was thinking you could put it over a picture of a keyboard, or over a picture of various controls like slider looking things and so on.

It's interesting I don't disagree that DVD-r is cheaper, but look how cheap flash memory has gotten, here are 8gb microsdhc for 2 dollars a piece: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220493&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo And they are smaller than the stamp needed to send a DVD through the mail.
