Why stop at 10? Why not 100, or 1000, or even 1000000? While we are at it, why not have the students all DDoS those sites? "hello professor, i have made 30 million posts on this site over the weekend as per instructed, bringing their site down and corrupted their backend db in the process" would surely have gone well. </sarcasm>
There is a larger problem. Chinese parents _paid_ money to send their kids into these needless camps to be "cured" of this so called "internet addiction". It's exactly the same as how American parents _paid_ money to send their kids into these needless camps to be "cured" of homosexuality. In the end, it's those panicky, ill informed, and lazy parents who entrust others with their children without actually bother doing proper research on the subject matter, the people who operate the camp, and their own children that cause pointless deaths like this. I am rather disappointed in the Chinese population today. In all honesty, learning from the western culture doesn't mean they should replicate mistakes in the western cultures too.
If given the choice, I'd rather have a locked-down PC. Reason? On a PC, I can use both keyboard, mouse, and game controller all at the same time. Try that on a xbox. xbox has tons of fps games, and using the xbox controller is very very annoying. The addons you can buy are expensive and aren't universal for every game. Microsoft marketing are full of idiots. They can easily make a locked down version of full size keyboard mouse combo with the security chip for the xbox and charge 90+ usd each for it, and push the game devs of fps games to allow keyboard mouse interface. They could've made millions.
The standard for "beauty" changes over time, just like the standard for "highspeed internet access" changes over time. It doesn't necessarily mean over all changes are none existent.
Just build it off of slackware and distribute the whole thing using apt. That way, you just need to build the whole thing on one set of systems and distribute out to all the boxen you need to update/install.
make an electric car that performs like a gas powered car. It only costs 20 times what gas powered car would've cost by parts alone. According TFA, the battery array alone cost 80k, but those are commercial battery packs, not research battery packs. The difference being, it'd be very very difficult to drive the price point down to under 100k. And make such cars marketable.
You already use vm. When ever you are "thinking in someone else's shoes" you are essentially using a vm. Although brain level virtualization is more like how OpenVZ works rather than Xen or VMWare.
sure they do, chips are essentially are layered silicon crystal lattice, and regulated by quartz crystals. Both are magical enough when you throw electrons at them.
I'd toss some lighter fluids on firefox and kick it out of the window if it forces user analytics. No, just no. Why do you think so many people don't use Chrome? It's because of annoying and stupid harebrained ideas like this that we can't have nice things. The funniest part about this is YOU, AS A USER, ARE SAYING YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT YOURSELF! This is a big (not funny) joke. A browser is the kind of software that everybody uses, including programmers, designers, artists, architects, engineers. How dare you generalize your user base in such manner. It's incredibly simple to figure out what the users want. All you need to do is but ask. That is what Apple does. They design something, and ask the users if they like it or not. DONE.
What sort of harebrained nonsense is this? Starcraft survived from 1990s to today, with 800x600 2d graphics. There are lots of people still playing the classic arcade and atari games on their hand held devices. Tetris is as popular as ever. The only reason to have nice graphics is so your game can 'wow' people and catch attention. The same can be achieved with a high end sales team.
IMO you can tell if a game is innovating or not when you look at what they are boasting. If people only talk about the graphics in the game, you can almost always be sure there are no real innovation in game play. It's a long and annoying running theme in FPS games. In the end, a FPS is a FPS is a FPS. Regardless of story or mini games, the core game play of these games changed very little since the 1990s. How people can get immersed in the same thing over and over again is beyond me. Why people would 'escape' to a war zone is even more mind boggling. I think that rather than being immersed in a FPS, people play those kind of games to vent frustration or to prove superiority at the comfort of their own home. If it is only about realism, they might as well stop playing games and start playing paintball.
And of course, walmart itself is a fascist dictatorship if you think about it. A rather hostile fascist dictatorship that economically destroys local small businesses, lowers overall GDP of the area, and subverts nations' economic control. IMO it is worse than China, it's like early stages of the soviet union but without communism.
Why are there no Ghost in the Shell references? It would be by far the single biggest break through since if we know how our memory works, we can offload our memories on storage devices via neural to NAS/SAN. It also allows secondary processing done by machines. Essentially allowing machines to remember and think for us directly. Instead of spending 20 years in school, all it takes is 20 seconds to upload some memory. You cannot even start to imagine the kind of advances we can make by saving so much time.
Well, with phone based mmo and gps mapping, you are pretty much forced to go to outside instead of cooping up in the basement... I've figured out their grand plan, I tell ya, it is the most insidious idea cooked up by those opposing the basement dewellers!
Sort of. IMHO it does provide a good deal of service. Although the information is locked down, you still have the link relations, further more, you can find out who has which piece of information. Requesting for that information shouldn't be too hard. That's the whole advantage wiki provides the intelligence community. You can link different pieces of information and find relationships between them. So in the old school way, you don't really know who has what, so you run around and ask until you find out. Using wiki, you can follow a chain of leads via links until you hit a stop, then you send an e-mail, get access, and move on. I think "need to know" is a tried and true method as when ever there are leaks in the intelligence community people tend to end up in prison or disappear. ACL provides the perfect balance between "need to know" and "need to share"
It's actually kinda simple, you just modify wiki software in such a way that the page creator can specify default behavior of the page and add user accounts to the ACL of that page. It requires 1 custom column on the page data table for default behavior and 1 table to store the ACL info. The ACL table should have a composite key of page id, user name, access level.
It's rather funny you speak of internship, because i consider these the biggest scam of all. There are two types of internships. First is that they expect you to perform like one of their regular employee, only difference is that you get paid a fraction of what regular employees get paid. The second is that they don't teach you anything because you only have so long in the company, so they ask you to do administrative tasks such as data entry and paper filing. In those you don't learn anything. People in career service department are much much worse than most companies' HR departments. If you even look at them the wrong way, kiss good bye to your new opportunities, because they just won't give you anything good and/or withhold things you applied. While there are laws and regulations against companies/HR doing such things, there are none for career counselors. To be honest, you are much better off posting your resume on monster rather than going through school.
I consider these jobs highly predatory. They take advantage of kids in a vulnerable state as those kids need the cash to fund their schooling. And then, these jobs work the kids to a degree that it affects studying. That's why a lot of people are willing to take out student loans and pay it all back when they get a real job. The problem is, flipping burgers makes no sense, and many jobs college kids can get pays $9~15/hr tops, and has nothing to do with their field of study what so ever. Yet, those kind of jobs are the only ones they can get most the time. There's nothing the college kids can do.
Like i said in my earlier post, those figures you stated are INVALID because of REUSABILITY due to net cafe. Just because you don't OWN a computer doesn't equate to don't have ACCESS to one. The way you put it is the same as saying people who rent should be counted as homeless. That doesn't make any sense. Even in the sources you provided, accessibility is at 24% overall, not the 10% as you posted. And on top of that, in rural area, it is at 8% accessibility. The figures stated are in 2005, and it's 2009 already. Obviously you didn't bother to read what you cited as source, and should be punished in the name of the moon! *pose*
I think tessellation will be controllable on the driver side, in that case, you wont need to write specialized code in order to take advantage of it. From what I understand, it is basically point based curve matching using differential calculus - a fundamental change in the way models are being rendered. So even for existing games, you just need to turn on tessellation processing with your graphics card driver, and you should be able to take advantage of it due to the fact it just changes the rendering method, models themselves and other parameters should remain the same.
That is why the net cafe business model is so popular in China, for 5 Chinese yen, you can use a computer for an hour, much less than spending 10k Chinese yen and buy a computer yourself. The net cafe also has superior network connections. With that said, i think most Chinese people do have access to computers and the internet. if accessibility is your main concern, then you don't have to worry.
You are sadly mistaken if you believe that is the case. What makes you think that someone inept socially offline would be adapt online? Honestly, the 30 yearold lardballs are those who solo all the time, and grind level all day instead of talking and socializing. And they'd quick to grief and gank you with well practiced skills. I seriously doubt they play mmos to socialize, no, I honestly believe that these people play mmos to prove they are superior in order to boost their ego. You obviously haven't played enough mmo to make that kind of statements, I suggest do your research before spewing nonsense.

That doesn't help against memory(RAM) based attacks.
