I'm not sure about the full what can and can't it do but from what I understand aop is about eliminating cross cutting concerns from your objects. For instance an application might need security and in every secured method you would code up a security check. That same check might be done in 100 places and be pretty much the same code. AOP allows you to take that code and put it in an aspect which is then inserted into a cut-point. Typical cut-points are before execution and after execution. Security is one example. Another might be database transactions. This is what I have gleaned from it all without actually getting that in depth with it. Java has a number of fairly mature implementations such as AspectJ and many of the IoC containers like Spring. JBOSS 4.0 also has an aspect implementation but again I haven't had the time to check it out. Different implementations insert the aspects into the cut-points differently though. Some use bytecode manipulating libraries like asm or bcel to do it at runtime. Others like AspectJ do it at compile time. Spring (a lightweight container) will create a proxy class if you are using an interface or resort to byte code manipulation if you are using a concrete class. Other lightweight containers are probably similar.
His mother served on the boards of many charitable organizations. Of which one fellow board member was also an employee of IBM. Thats the story I heard anyway. I'm sure its been noted before but B.G. is a much better business man than geek. After all he sold (licensed) DOS to IBM and he hadn't even bought it yet. That guy eventually sued but I think the amount of money he was awarded was certainly a pittance when compared to the networth of B.G. today.
Sounds like a pretty simple application for a genetic algorithm. I read a book that showed how to do path finding using a GA. You just need the right number and type of censors and the outputs would correspond to what jet to fire. After a while your NN would learn how to fly to any objective on the map. Sounds like a fun little problem.
I just checked out the site and found this message when browsing the iBook listings:
Small Dog Electronics is an Authorized Apple Reseller and Service Provider. Due to contract limitations imposed by Apple, sales of New Apple Products on the internet is limited to current customers of Small Dog Electronics. If you aren't a current customer with a user name & log-on password, please visit our Waitsfield, Vermont location.
So the only way I can buy a new iBook from them is to drive 8+ hours to Vermont and register? Apple is definitely not reseller friendly and only consumer friendly if you buy from them. I'd like to own some Apple hardware one day but I can never justify the premium I'd have to pay when on a limited budget.
Seeing as how the site is now down maybe it was intentional? Perhaps it was a DDOS attack idea in the same vein as the one reported a couple weeks ago where the boss skipped out on the hearings and left his "packet monkeys" behind. How long do you think it will be before we read about (on some other site of course)/.s servers being seized by the FBI? Some see stupidity while I see malevolent genious. Post a link to a competitor to take down their site and wait for posters to remind everyone that its also available on ThinkGeek. Theirs a mastercard or 1,2,3 profit saying in here somewhere.:-)
Spam could be considered stealing in many different ways. Can you ever recover the time that you spent dealing with it? Unless your time has no value the spammers are taking your time and not returning anything. A commercial on TV may be unsolicited but there is the unwritten understanding that you have to endure it somehow to watch the program. Spam also is a cost to your isp. If you think that your isp is kind enough to eat the cost of the bandwidth, storage and processing requirements and not pass it on to you then I have a deal for you. In short spam is an abuse that robs you of resources and gives you nothing in return. That is stealing.
Definately on its way to being a top notch game. You have to keep the maps small and the battles simple though because it takes too long to do anything if you don't. Otherwise its a good game.
For all the chest thumping that has gone on on slashdot about the gif patent it never made sense to me why they never replaced their gifs. How hard would it have been to have a page with gifs and a page with pngs and then switched between them based on user agent string? I think all the arguments that were made would have had much more weight if they would have put their money where their mouth is.
I think you can accomplish that with some mod_rewrite rules. I remember reading a simple 1-3 line set of rules to do it but don't have the time to look it up for you.
Or he could opt for not going to New York and instead going to a state where there is no sales tax. Montanna is one such place. Its not as urban but is very pretty and Glacier National Park is awesome.
I'm almost 29 and I never did put 2 and 2 together on the radio button thing. I always figured it was some corrupted form of radial button since they were always circles in windows. Motif squares make more sense when you're thinking of those old style radios. Thanks Bill! bastard...
So does this mean now that we'll see a bunch of cheesily dressed up plaster comets all over Chicago? (They did it with cows for anyone who never saw it)
How can they call it high quality when all of those damn logos are plastered all over the bottom of the screen. I don't see how it benefits me as a viewer or them as a broadcaster. The only thing it does is annoy me. It gets especially bad when you have the network logo on one side and the local channel on the other side of the screen. I was watching that awful Steven King series last night and every so often during the show my local broadcaster would put up a brightly colored not even translucent logo in the bottom part of the screen that was probably a third of the width of the screen. To me that is not high quality. Calling it quality is probably a stretch too.
I remember seeing a hummer on the road with some educational dotcom's logo painted all over it about 2 years ago. When I got home and checked out the site it had been turned into a porn site. I wonder how many failed dotcom domains were bought up by guys looking to make a few bucks by throwing up a page filled with porn banners.
Are you Andrew Guryanov? If so you should probably wrap your comment in tags. If you aren't then you should at least mention that its shareware and not freely downloadable like the xp toys.
Hey when did IBM steal GPFs from Microsoft? Personally the name alone in that one would make me stear wide and far from it. Of course that could just be IBMs awful marketing department at work again. It might even be better than the others. Yes this post adds nothing to the conversation except a little humor. Moderate as you feel you should.
SkyNet won't come around until.NET is ported to SkyOS. Then we all have to worry as the 5 machines that are running this os try to take over the world. Or something like that.

The one is a ski resort in japan called adatara. You can pan the camera all the way left and see the name of a building actually in english.

Sorry you're right. I was a bit tired when I wrote that. A GA would be used to train the NN.

Not statewide but my little town in OH did yesterday as well.
Maybe but then can you afford to appear arrogant? If you continue to insist that its day and the whole world believes it's night then what are you?

Slashdot put spaces in your link. Use this one instead.

Anyone care to explain what Freedom Force is to a poor soul stuck behind a filtering proxy server at work?

Why are people so damn puritanical in this country?
Maybe because most of the early colonists were puritans?
