With a menu you can make easy things simple.
But you make hard things imposable!
The only way to do the hard things is to write
the app. yourself. I understand that not all
of us want to write apps. But I my self will not
be getting a Pad or a Pod that can not support
at least some good 4th gen tools. Oh, and lets stay
with open source while we are at it.
As an example Tcl/tk with a good gui builder is a much
higher level programing tool then some system programing
language like Java.
So where is my dollar prompt?
Not to be confused with the Dollar
you spend at the App store.
Mike Wrote Ping, and did a lot of work on Bind the name server.
Doug Wrote the System V libc library that ran on BSD Unix.
Doug's Library let us run both BSD code and Sys5 code on the
same platform for the first time. There was a lot more, but
this is what people may remember.
The problem is the Internet is fancy TV.
At least until you want to pay for both ends.
I guess you can use face book, as long as that lasts
or gets to slow to use when we neglect 'Net Neutrality'.
What we need are many ISP's that's called Capitalism.
What we have are 1 or 2 ISP's that Feudalism.
The way to make this happen is to define and
allow roof top routers that by pass the last mile as we know it.
4G speeds seem adequate to me. If you want a hard line Its your
money and there control over what packets you get. Just do not
take away my access to the Town Square. You remember the
Town Square, where our government was born.
And we can then pick ISP's with out evil restrictions.
IMHO The Web was designed for people to publish
not just for TV.
IMHO, Astronomers forget to use the word visible,
when they say universe.
Given the Universe is expanding stuff we can see is exiting
the Visible Universe all the time.
So the result is the Visible Universe is shrinking.
And one day there will be
noting to see when you look up into the night sky.
So I an told on Astronomy.fm
So if there another big bang overlapped our Visible Universe we might
see a big corner of space blue shift.
You can bet a lot of papers would get written about that.
To defend Astronomers You could say a big Goat head butted
a fence and that kicked off the Big bag. Who could prove you
wrong. Astronomers can't Observe that, so its speculation and
an Astronomer will simply say We do not know What caused the big bang.
We do not know if there was another big bang we can only see one.
We only know about what we can Observe.
So you can speculate all you want. But until you can Observe another
Big bang, the answer is no one knows.
PS.
Some people want a visible light telescope to replace Hubble.
But think about it, Given you want to look far away, and that
the farther away you look the faster things are moving away and
thus are red shifted, so what was visible light is shifted in the infrared.
Got that? looking at infrared light far away is actually looking at what
was visible light.
Java been dead, Its not portable.
Its fractured to many people have
to many incompatible versions.
Here is a quote from the down load
Linux / other part of the page on Mindcraft.
" Download Minecraft.jar, an executable jar file. It might work as-is."
Its just not reassuring. I tried some tutorials From Sun
on a RedHat box and the first baby ones worked.
But when I loaded the Sun libs for the graphics tutorials
nothing worked.
I want the MythBusters to get a hold of this
one. I want to see how well the hydraulic fluid
can cut off limbs when the hoses start to flap around under pressure.
A Good start to this problem would be to fix the last mile.
You remember the "On Ramp"
"Hello -- McFly" (knock knock) "4G".
Yes, Virginia, there is bandwidth, don't let them lie to you.
We need radio frienquencys for roof top routers.
A five to ten mile range should do the trick.
If the FCC can't do it, we need to pass laws.
End of line.
That would fix the cell hone problem and texting
once and for all. There seems to even be bandwidth
for HDTV as well. Although that seems better served with
broadcast media and a DVR like mythTV.
There would still be a need for ISP's, Yes.
But entry would be no longer barred by the
gate keepers of the last mile.
Hundreds of ISP's in local towns would create
the proper level of capitalism, and remove the
feudalism we have now.

Microsoft Sues TiVo
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
These are not valid patents.
They are just products Microsoft hopes to sell one day.
So Microsoft is just abusing patent law to build the monopoly.
When will this charade be put to an end.
And since when did Microsoft own the rights to the
function of the 'V' chip?
When we all have cellular repeaters on our
roofs there will be only a need for ISP's
100's of them, when the right of way is
returned to the people. It can work there is
the bandwidth, 4G works TCP/IP works and
automated routing works, QED. With many
not 2 or 4 vendors replaced with 100;s of ISP's
there will be capitalism and the prices will
will reflect the value. Unlike what we have now.
Microsoft and the vendor's that provide software for the same
require new hardware about every three years. the system is planed that way to make revenue.
Linux on the other hand is not out dated so fast.
You can use PC for 6 to 10 years without needing
to upgrade. So cut your OS bill to close to nothing,
and your hardware bill in half.
The Aloha Net was a predecessor of ether net.
The developers of ether net traveled to the
University of Hawaii to learn how to make
ether net from the technology of packet switch radio.
So my point is this adhoc packet switched radio networking
predates all of the Internet protocols
we use today.
To make this work, the FCC will have to develop the rules for devices to interact.
That is the part that Google is warning us about. "the devil is in the technical details of the rules." Bad rules and the thing will be a joke. Good rules for making many hops
and good allocation of bandwidth and the system
will replace the last mile of the Internet.
A packet switched radio will not have people talking all over each other. But the low bandwidth in the TV bands will not allow the types of bandwidth we need in today's environment.
And your right the low bandwidth long range channels (TV) will saturate with people trying to get a clear channel. What we need are high bandwidth short range channels. Something like 5 to 10 mile 300 channels of 2-3 gig each.
With this first thing your system does is find a low use channel and sends to a host, a roof top, about 5 miles away. Where the packet is send on in 5 mile hops until it reaches your party.
20 hops 100 miles with latency under 200ms. is as good as your going to get on any cell phone. If you need more distance then that you should use an ISP to switch to copper or glass ( what ever ). With this kind of local infrastructure the need for local right of way that blocks most out of the ISP service industry will be by passed allowing competition and low service charges.
The Best I can get is a DSL line.
It is better then parking out side of a hotel.
To get WiFi. But I was told I was paying for
a 500kb line. But most of the time the street
wires dating from the 1960's can not deal with
that and down grades to 400kb or less. And yes
I live in a metro area. And about 2 miles from
the down town switch. Its just that I live on
an end street and there is no profit in it with
only 5 houses between me and the end of line.

I am hoping NASA starts to develop software. Like the Army did in the 80's.
The Parent has the right idea.
Also sell Tee shirts, get cool stuff and tell your friends.
Do not let your friends Drive while intoxicated on non-open software.
Who pays people to write this stuff? Oh ya, people that want to sell you new stuff.

My Meter is pegged on Noise. Just take a look at his own web sight own web siight. The first sense there reads:
"Glenn brings the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment into your living room."
Lets all go back to Saturday night Live for our news. Where there is more entertainment. and IMHO I think Glenn's enlightenment has burned out.
Who called this news in the first place. Oh Ya Mr. anonymous. I think April First has not yet arrived, save up your stuff until then.

You do not need the algorithm. To copy the answer off the another paper. You just send a URL to Google and reformat the results in your handwriting.

So this is like looking at a mirror. Or pointing a flashlight at a mirror and looking around a corner.
Different wavelength so the door looks like a mirror So why is this news?
SGI and the X Windows system both existed in 1987.
And the editing tools included 3D modeling.
This is not state of the art in the day.
Although I can see how important Censorship of images in the Soviet Union would be in the day... Its all about the propaganda.

Dad brought some of this type of stuff home when I was a little kid. That would make this as common place, at least for me, in the 1960.
I am betting Four hundred quatloos that the Anonymous Coward get cash from AT&T.
The Best I can get is a DSL line. It is better then parking out side of a hotel. To get WiFi. But I was told I was paying for a 500kb line. But most of the time the street wires dating from the 1960's can not deal with that and down grades to 400kb or less. And yes I live in a metro area. And about 2 miles from the down town switch. Its just that I live on an end street and there is no profit in it with only 5 houses between me and the end of line.
I've got to wonder, if this does work is BP going to go ahead with their "relief well".
You can bet on it, got to keep up the cash flow.
