Yes, one of the benefits of being unemployed is more time to spend w/ your spouse... Unless you don't have one. Thanks, Mr. Dvorkin, I didn't think it was possible for me to be any more depressed.
Given that horribly dark period in Europe's history when it was invaded and occupied by a China bent on bringing the light of democracy to those uncivilized Europeans, I can understand why today's Europeans would be wary of working w/ today's China.
Sorry, but I always mess this up because it's so far over my head.
Basically the universe is a giant computer, computing everything as fast as it possibly can, and the concept of "continuous" stuff (as opposed to discrete stuff) is completely wrong. The only way for us to "predict" something is to locate a shortcut, and if we can't find a shortcut to estimate the weather, we can't predict it because we can't out-compute the universe.
I'm not addicted to Pentagon cash, but lemme tell you something. As a financially challenged graduate student, from the bottom of my heart, God bless the Dept. of Homerand Seculity.
Anyone remember that short lived series where they had an episode about a guy who "discovered" cold fusion? Basically his professor was teaching the class that cold fusion was impossible but this one kid found the flaw in the equation and built a cold fusion bomb out of a few household materials...
Scary when you think about it: "They could have weapons of mass destruction! They must agree to give up water and electricity immediately!" Oy vey.
Him: So what're you writing code in? Me: C++ @ the lab, because everyone else is. At home, I'm using C# though. Him: C#? Why? Me: I dunno, it's fun and it has a lotta libraries. Him: Word. Me: What about you? What are you coding in? Him: Java! Just downloaded the newest JDK, but it came w/ this awful IDE. So slow. Me: NetBeans? NetBeans sucks, use Eclipse. Him: Eclipse? Never heard of it, I'll have to check it out. Me: So why Java? Him: It's fun, and it has a lotta libraries and stuff. Me: Word.

Neither artist belongs to an RIAA label, meaning 1. the music is good! 2. my purchase won't be used to pay a lawyer to sue some file downloading llama.
Don't swear off buying CDs forever, just boycott RIAA label CDs and you'll be fine.
Is the need to make do with the current fabrication technology enough to drive the move to multi-valued logic? Or will Moore's law continue without the need for doing more with less silica based real estate?"
Just remember that the Taliban started out as a bunch of vigilantes who set out to rescue a pair of kidnapped girls, because no one else would do it. They succeeded and became heroes, but...
You know how that story turned out. Best remember to keep your focus.
When I saw the title, I clicked through to the story thinking it was about an API that Microsoft had published to let developers control the Blue Screen of Death!
This is almost as stupid as wearing a mask of Donald Rumsfeld and visiting 3ID troops to tell them "Are we planning on letting you go home anytime soon? Gosh, no!"
These SMU guys are obviously begging for it, I say we give them hell!

Just because you (soda) can do something, doesn't mean you should.

History folks: read it.
So will this reduce the cost of honey roasted macadamia nuts, yes or no?
Game companies are probably thinking: "If they won't pay money for an operating system, why would they pay money for a game?"

Anyone?
Didn't Wolfram conclude this was impossible in his big fat tome?
Spain was the first to land in the "New World", and that worked out brilliantly for them.
Matrox! Matrox! Matrox!
... What?? It could happen!
Go Matrox!

So I had lunch w/ a friend today...

Taiwan is a democracy. China is not. We have a defence treaty w/ Taiwan. We'd be very obligated to get involved.
I'm sure China would then say, "Psst! North Korea! It's ok, if you attack South Korea right now, we'll back you up!"
Still sound nice to hear about?
My bad, should have posted this earlier...
In the last month, I've bought 2 CDs:
Evil Adam - I Want My Money Back!
3 Inches of Blood - Battlecry Under a Winter Sun

Just need to second devphil's opinion. Accelerated C++ is a very good book, I regularly lend it to my friends so they can pick up C++.

If time is not quantized, then does Wolfram's "the universe is a giant comp00ter" (oversimplification) still have merit?
