    One day, computer vision will be so good that you can give it a single photograph, it'll grind away for a few minutes and create an entire 3d world containing every object in the photograph, a mesh of the terrain, etc. You'll load it up in your favourite 3d game and apples will act like apples and cars will act like cars, etc. You'll be able to feed a 100 minute film into a much bigger machine running a much more complicated collection of algorithms and it will automatically generate a 3d world where all the same events happen in the world as happened in the film. You can choose how you want to participate in the action and your actions will have consequences on the plot line that are dynamic and non-fragile. 3Dbasic anyone?

    because if this method can be used to convert photons into electrons quicker it means there will be less internet bottle necks because the backbone is fibre but is controlled by electronic computers

  7. Re:bfd on IcedTea's OpenJDK Passes Java Test Compatibility Kit · · Score: 0

    Sun claims that Java is an open "standard". If, after a decade, nobody has managed to produce an independent, compliant, commercial implementation, then that suggests that doing so is too hard. Maybe Sun's specifications are incomplete, maybe the specs are so complex that they are too hard to implement, maybe Sun keeps changing the platform too quickly. Why does it matter? If Sun were to go belly-up tomorrow, there would be no compliant commercial Java implementation left. if sun was to go belly up tomorrow then the OPEN jdk project code under GPL will be put up somewhere else probably

  13. Re:Extra software? on Safeguarding Data From Big Brother Sven? · · Score: 0

    I agree , although for most windows users if you want (free) privacy you have to install X number of programs for gpg e.g. I think for the common user this is to much of not only a hassle but a technical burden gpg for example. 1.Install gpg4win 2. Thunderbird (or equivilent free email client) 3.) Extensions for email ( case Thunderbird) 4.) make keys 5.) configure programs, get other users pub key etc etc. This is to much for normal Joe by step 3 or 4 the normal Joe has given up. If this would be automised or somehow integrated into a email client , I think we would see email encryption more widely used. Although through the automation process problems can arise, security hole here , and their, because all these process's have to be linked automated etc. etc Whereas with a nix distro, most users are tech orientated, after adding the correct repos or (with some distros these things are even default installed gpg for e.g.) then the only thing left is to configure, which really is pretty painless to the tech user who knows what hes doing in the first place. the only problem with email encryption is you have to somehow give the key to the recipient and how are you going to encrypt that?
