I hope that it goes back to programmer controlled rendering. I'm not a programmer by trade, but I like coming up with my own systems, and I cant tolerate the rules set in place by an API, which is why I havnt done much hobby graphics programming in a while.
I predict that GPU's will die, and that we will just expand on multi core processing by automating it, so that programmers wont have to consider how many cores their application runs on, the load balancing will just be done under the hood, automatically.
As a side note, why is it that source runs so well? I'm not really up to speed on it, but dosnt source use some unique method that runs it primarily off of the GPU?
Wait wait wait wait... who ever said that the game would actually come out at the release date? That wouldnt make any sense...
First they put out a release date. Then, they push it back in increments of two months, untill people literally want to burn down blizzard's HQ. THEN they release it. The expansion is actually going to come out some time in late 2009.
How long untill someone figures out how to hook one of these into a phone and laser keyboard ( http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/ ) to make a mobile computer of light?
Well, forgive me if I am mistaken, but isnt firefox closed source? If it is closed source (which i'm not really sure of to be honest), dosnt that mean it ISNT theirs to change? Companies have to cover their asses legally. The only thing Eulas do is prevent lawsuits against mozilla for people's computers crashing.
I dont understand why this is such a big deal. Ubuntu should just display the license. Users will click accept, and continue on their merry way. What would an EULA really DO that is so life changing?
Who wants to bet that google has a control panel somewhere, inside of some html document, on an intranet computer deep inside of their evil lair that has buttons saying "Destroy United Airlines" "Destroy yahoo" "Destroy Microsoft".
I know I sure as hell would if I had that sort of power/influence.:D
Look, we all know that bittorrent is commonly used for copyright infringement. But that does not mean that it should be illegal. Bittorrent / bittorrent sites are just the delivery method. To use an analogy: If someone speeds down the street in a corvette, what should you (the law enforcement) go after? The driver? Take away their license? The car? Make fast cars illegal? The street? Make streets illegal because people speed on them?
"Nobody ever got addicted to filling out time sheets, for example."
I dont know if i'd define it as addiction, but there is obsessive compulsive disorder.
Its a step in the right direction. I saw this dealio on a youtube video a while back. I think it would be better if they figured out how to shrink the modules, and the price, but aside from that, great product. Really, if you think about it, this isnt like a cell phone. You can use this thing as a streaming wireless web camera, you can use it as a high def picture camera that attached GPS tags... you can use it for all sorts of industrial and consumer applications. 350 is not a lot to pay for that.
How about this. Instead of rebuilding their houses every two or three years, they make their hosues out of legos, and just put them back together after each horribly devestating yet completley unexpected hurricane.
Im not that guy who claims conspiracy on every single millitary related news item, but what if they just got rid of the public command, and made it classified? I mean, you wouldnt say "Hey, everyone, we are going to hack you! Check out our awesome center! This is where it all goes down! Our ip address is 166.128.72.0! So if you get hacked by 166.128.72.0, you know its us! Oh, and make sure to not reject the connection from 166.128.72.0, because remember, thats us.... the guys about to hack you!"
After reading a series of interlinked wikipedia articles, about 12, I still have no f**king idea what this is about. Everything is too abstract. Everything is just a phrase reffering to another phrase reffering to another phrase. Does any of it have quantatative meaning?
Translated into normal, human speak, what I want to say is- Its great that they prooved that you can do it. Now, show me the machine they did it with, and I'll take it as proof. Untill then, it is meaningless to me, and anyone else who is grounded firmly in reality.
Who says that p2p is being villified / generalized here? Why do you get that impression?
This is directly from the PDF that this news topic is about:
"AT&T does not use network management tools to block the use of P2P applications by its mobile wireless broadband customers. However, AT&T's terms of service for mobile wireless broadband customers prohibit all uses that may cause extreme network capacity issues, and explicitly identify P2P file sharing applications as such a use."
Use p2p if you want, the only problem is when you use it to go over the limit of 5 gb of throughput a month.
I work for ATT, and I am pro bit torrent / P2P. P2P is not illegal, even though it can be used for shady things, it is not illegal all in its self. The reason we dont want you to do P2P is because it uses a lot of bandwidth. We want you to stay inside of 5 gb a month on your connection. 5 GB is a lot, and you normally wont even be able to touch that. But with p2p apps like bit torrent running, you could pop through that in a day no problem.
Now, if you go over 5gb a month, we will send you a letter asking you to stop it. There is no connection throttling. I am not lieing, there is no connection throttling.
You will also note that other high bandwidth applications are forbidden through the contract. Streaming video for instance. Now, this does not include youtube type streams, more like the ones for live webcams, like for chris pirillo, at pirillo.com.
Bottom line, we dont want you hogging the lines, thats really all there is to it.
this is a pretty good idea. Much of the time i try to call someone, they are at work. With this i can call them without interrupting what theyre working. Its basically SMS without the text, with voice instead. I think it could indeed be useful. I am just disappointed that i didnt think of it first.
This development was inevitable. P2P just WORKS better than a centralized topography. I just makes sense.
I think that eventually, the internet will be exclusivly p2p.
Slashdot Mirror
I was thinking more along the lines of "How difficult is it to build condos"
Hmm... MAVEN? Does that mean anything? People who write acronyms contain so much fail.
Primarily off of the Cpu I mean.

Lol i was thinking the same thing.

Move to Oslo, Norway. I spent a month there last year. Great place.

You know what your problem is? You only read half of everything. Fine. Your being opressed. Deal with it.

Yes infact they already are. Anything that puts you over the soft cap of 5gb is bad.
