Sergeant: How tall are you private? Cowboy: Sir, five foot nine, sir! Sergeant: Five foot nine? I didn't know they stacked shit that high! You tryin' to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huh? Cowboy: Sir, no sir! Sergeant: Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress! I think you been cheated! Where in the hell are you from anyway, private? Cowboy: Sir, Texas, sir! Sergeant: Holy dog shit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks? Cowboy: Sir, no sir! Sergeant: Are you a peter puffer? Cowboy: Sir, no sir! Sergeant: I'll bet you're the kinda guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.
I don't think there is any debate at all, RayTracing is by far superior, there is just the problem of computing power.
Anyone (perhaps ask the modelers for the games) who deals with 3D software, knows the benefits of RayTracing for simulating reality (Reflections, Ambient Occlusion, Sub-Surface Scattering, etc)
And once computing power reaches that level it will even speed up the process of creating games because you can let the RayTracing take care of shadows, reflections, highlights, etc instead of manually mapping them.
Take a look at anything LightWave, Maya, 3Dsmax, Softimage, Blender, etc spits out of its render engines, or visual effects in recent movies... granted, that's (as stated a few times in the discussion) years away... but, I don't think anyone is arguing against RayTracing.
(-1 Bastard)...but...whatever, ive been waiting for real-time RayTracing for years even just within my own 3D applications, nevermind games...
1) Someone who loves their pets more than human beings or, at the extreme, someone willing to kill a human to save a lower animal's life.
2) Somebody who has sex with animals because they cannot attract any humans, or they are attracted to animals
(and the best one)
3) someone so caught up in his own egomaniacle conception of the world that he is compelled to spew vomit and blood on a strangers clothes to show his contempt for anybody's thought but his own.
Which sounds kinda like the summary for the article, as well as some of the article.
...But if what you normally do on the cluster/system is "boring" then maybe you are in the wrong field of investigation.
And, if you did rent/lend it out to another group of people, you may be just as interested in what they are doing with it, and what they are doing may correlate to what you are doing.
Perhaps that third party is doing the "playing around", but if you rented it out to them for something they can afford, you are still using the system for a benefit to them, as well as your goals (extra money to put back into the system, pay for power, etc).
"So, what would be the coolest and most far out thing you would do with this kind of hardware?"
Instead of pissing around with stuff that may not go anywhere other than a few giggles over lunch.
Why not just rent, or lend it out to people who don't have the funding or equipment that could use this cluster for a better purpose than "playing around"?
Some, but I'm not one of them, my Opera (9.51 on XP SP3) has been running for a few days now (almost 4), with a peak of 157MB, currently at 96MB, VM of 114MB, and an I/O of almost 12GB's... opening up every site on my SpeedDial (9 sites + this one) brought me up to 122MB, VM of 140MB...
But, I honestly don't care how much it uses, because so far it hasn't impacted (noticeably) on any other software, and always starts (launches, or maximizes) instantly, and I prefer Opera's interface. And how much memory it uses isn't enough to make me prefer one browser over another... CPU usage on the other hand, might, but most of them are pretty much the same in that regard.
And after closing all those tabs, its down to 92MB, VM 110MB, peak the same.
Although it seems to be taken as fact now among many, I'm still not ruling it out that it may still be CO2 (or similar), although the little pit seems to only be a few inches deep, maybe the surface of mars can reflect enough of the sunlight to make a few inches deeper -109F (-78C ish) or maybe much more.
I'm not sure at what speed Mars is rotating unto itself as well as around the sun, but by the change in shadows, there was a lot that melted in what seems to be a fairly short period which could also explain the amount of tempurature difference within a few inches.
And, the cost of the envelope, the time placing the letter inside the envelope and closing the envelope, paying for and putting the stamp on it, and the time it takes to write/print the address (and the return address)
Although the whole mail analogy works fairly well, comparing envelopes to encryption isn't, something like the Enigma Machine would be better, the envelope is simply the "packet" the data is contained in, there are certain things you can find out from it, like sender/receiver, time, and where its been so far, you can look into an envelope without taring it open, and you can look into a packet without destroying it, you can open an envelope attempt to read its contents, put it in a new envelope, and the chances are no one would notice unless it was a special envelope, and same with a packet.
However, if its encrypted, it doesn't matter if its looked at or opened for snail mail, or packets, the information either still gets transmitted (albeit with a delay if an attempt was made), or gets confiscated (data has to be re-sent), either way the data is safe, just delayed.
And yes I know the Enigma machine was eventually "hacked" but, SSL can be "hacked" aswell given enough time.
"...but it's not nearly as simple as using an envelope."
And considering an envelope secure, is about the same as saying "I switched to port 5678, therefore its secure", or "from UDP to TCP"... or in mail, "I used a different mail carrier/truck"... or "I changed to overnight delivery instead of 3 day"...
Never said it did, only that if Firefox 1.5 is compatible (according to message on mail.live.com), that changing the User Agent to Firefox/1.5 should be accepted by the site at least to the point where it tries (if the browser isn't actually capable) to show the site as intended for that web browser, which is what the 'User Agent' is intended for.
I know that Opera, and Firefox are both capable of running it, and oddly IE7 is the slowest of the three, and the site should only be looking for the User Agent and OS, having so much difficulty by-passing it is just more credit to how suspect the Hotmail/LiveMail site actually is, especially considering the the main "perpetrator" of the use of "User Agent" was Microsoft in the first place, and they seem to be figuring out a new way to steal from, or block out other browsers.
Not really, its a decent immediate decision for a temporary duration (over the weekend maybe), but what they should have done is made the sign-up/donation system to better to weed out bogus donations.
Just because Israel may not support them as much as a different country, it may not mean that the per-capita support wasn't equal.
I'm sure they get a lot of bogus donations from the US, UK, etc, but they also get a lot of legitimate ones as well. So they were just willing to sacrifice Israel as a whole, and thus the bogus, as well as the legitimate donations.
So yeah, I agree, "so what" but I don't think it was the right decision from either a profit, or a beneficial to the cause perspective.
Re:Lots of light in the daytime. None at night

DIY Solar Resources?

· Score: 1
lol, well I didn't mean having like hundreds of little calculator solar panels hooked up to LEDs scattered around the shed.
Do it the same as you would for 'normal' lighting, have solar panels up on the roof.
And I didn't say you wouldn't need any batteries, but that you would need less to run the same amount of lighting.
A Single car battery could probably run your average LED light (with its 30 or so LEDs bundled together) for probably 2 or 3 nights before needing a charge, but the same battery powering a 90 watt incandescent light would drain the battery after about 4 hours, as well as some loss via the inversion which could have been used.
But he doesn't seem to want to wire his house... "I'm building a large shed out back and I want to power the lighting..." or even bother with other electrical devices, nevermind water.
I'd have to agree, and other people have mentioned this already, use LED type lighting, this negates stuff like inversion to get 115/220 volts, etc. and requires far less power in the first places, which means less solar panels, less batteries, probably less wiring, and LEDs last longer than incandescent, and provide better lighting than neon.
A "1337" user, may want full disclosure, so that he can patch his software immediately, and maybe other people who run the same software (White Hat)
Another 1337 user, may patch his own software, and then begin to propagate a script to take advantage of unpatched software (Black Hat) which, could be for a sort of Grey Hat intention, "see? fix it!" or simply for malicious intent.
The problem with Full Disclosure, is that you can't inform everyone, or update everything instantly, so it only helps those in the know (which isn't many), so partial/non-disclosure is generally better (in consumer products), but Full Disclosure would be appropriate for a closed network, non-consumer software.
That's the problem, you payed for your (i would assume) non-unlimited internet account, which means no matter who else is downloading what, you should be able to get exactly what you payed for, limited, or not.
Besides, its the same network, so if someone Pays for an unlimited account (that's actually unlimited) whatever traffic they use has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere will be your account, to user your highway analogy...
If someone can afford to buy a car for ever member of their family, and they all live on the same block as you, then the odds are fairly high that when you go to leave your driveway, one of them might be passing by at that time, delaying your trip.
Its basically a democracy, the whole wolf and sheep deciding whats for dinner nonsense, the people who want to download 8 DVDs a day, will do so, and the people who just want to browse the internet, will do so, but one of them will be taking from the other, and its usually the biggest one who is doing the taking.
Its not possible (currently, or for the foreseeable future) to have unlimited accounts, but if they were all limited appropriately, you wouldn't feel any effect at all, you would get exactly what you payed for, even if it happens to be slower than you prefer, it would be a consistent 100kb/s or whatever...
But right now its working on like a tidal principle, whichever person has the most gravity, the water tends to conglomerate towards them.
I dunno, I'm kinda just rambling, so I'll shut up.
This is the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail This version works better with your browser. The full version of Windows Live Hotmail runs on Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher (make sure you check the system requirements before you install it). The full version also works on Firefox 1.5. And the option to switch between Classic and Full is gone from the Options, etc... and my moms a whore...so what...
Tried as well, no go... even masking as FireFox/1.5 doesn't work, even though it says in mail.live.com that FireFox 1.5 is compatible.
As a side note, it doesn't work in Opera 9.51 either, I didn't notice since I prefer the classic version anyways...
It does however work if you set the site preferences as Mask As Internet Explorer (in Opera) although it seems to run really poorly, masking as FireFox goes to Classic.
Oh I know, already have my own custom version, plus I have the Main menu under the right-click Context menu...
But I didn't wanna have to explain all that to someone who isn't even familiar with the basics of the Opera layout.
And now with 9.5x I can do away with an entire toolbar by just moving a few things to the status bar since stuff gets scaled to 80% there, instead of increasing the status bar size to encompass the added button/item...
Just remember to switch it back when you don't need the option anymore, otherwise you are contributing to the various Browser Market Share/User Share statistics with wrong info.
I try to avoid using that, because then when some web admin looks at the logs, he'll see a slanted perspective of how many users are using which web browser, and just continuing the problem - "meh, not enough Opera users to really bother fixing it"
Excluding the Menu Bar (Opera uses the standard/forced top one) Opera can do that aswell, you can drag/drop any button/checkbox/dropdown/etc to any other bar (excluding the main side panel buttons)
You can also quicky drag a webpage, or an image onto a toolbar, to create a temporary "favorite" of sorts... its not particularily useful, but ive used it, mainly so i dont accidentally close the tab.
