    I found this great 1-D Rubik's Cube, here, I can embed it here on this page:

    The interface is simple: just look at it. Quantum mechnaics dictates that observing it changes it's state so just assume it's solved.

  8. Re:For GVSU ... on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 1

    to be quite frank, 'lucky' isn't an issue.

    I've had my 'experiences' and find that it wasn't something I'd call 'lucky'. now being relativly religious, I sort of wish I wasn't as 'lucky' as I was. not to mention, being married now 5 years, makes such things un-necessary.

    Every time in the past protection was used, but I also found that if something is so spur-of-the-moment that time cannot be taken for procurement of protection, maybee one should re-think.

    Just my 2 cents, and don't think me a bible thumper... just a priest (no really, freaky isn't it).

  9. Hardware? whatabout software? on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 1

    with all this concern about hardware, whatabout software? my only saving grace is a search function on my PDA(palm). but I hate it's catagories being limited to only one section deep.

    But honestly.. any machine or hardware that doesn't allow you to scan though notes and find a subject heading, is equivilant to paper. personally (and probably alone in this) I use the brain to keep note type data. searchable and VERY quickly structureable.

    Anyone else found some good software for note taking and organizing (other than notepad and folders)?

    As for the hardware, laptops are great, but unless it boots instantly, has a long battery life, and can jot notes like a tabletPC i'd find it more of a hinderance. and since college students can't afford a tabletpc, it seems we are back to palm type devices with a keyboard.

  16. Re:They should ask themselves this before they bui on Helix - Handheld Game Platform From Ex-Palm Staff · · Score: 1

    Will the organizor features compete with the Palm?

    ya, it is using the palm OS.

    Will MP3 player features compete with the iPod?

    Given sufficent storage media and a good sound chip it whould do fine.

    Will the gaming features compete with the GB SP?

    they claim a vast improvement on graphics, but the Turbo Graphics 16 portable, and the Neo-geo portable attest that that is not the deciding factor.
    If they can figure out a way to make the controls better than a normal PDA it should be good... as it is Pokemon Silver works great on my ancient Clie. Although this could be a stumbling block... someone wanting a good PDA isn't going to like arcade controls, and a gamer will hate PDA controls. it will be intresting to see how this plays out (no pun intended).

    I'm more intrested in a powerful Ipaq to run emulation on. The world seems to be getting sick of proprietary hardware/software combos.

  17. Re:Well, Physical Violence is next on RIAA Plans Cyberwar Effort · · Score: 1

    not to be mean, but you missed the point entirely.

    In the US we try and keep a level of fairness in that the government or authorized law enforcement are the ones to decide if any diciplinary action was neccicary. Launching a lawsuit is within their legal rights to persue, not a DoS attack. This is simmilar to Rolex going to any city and gunning down people for having cheap copies of thier watches. Not to mention the ISP's could (and should) sue for lost bandwidth and illegal access because they are innocent bystandards.

    This is idiotic and wrong.. the legal channels are there for a reason.

    I'd countersue if i was attacked, so what, I'd be a martyr if it meant destroying an entity like the RIAA.

    besides... it's bad enough with those porto-potties, waiting in line at a fair or concert. I'd hate to wait for some dumbass who's trying to check his hotmail at the local rodeo.

    The only use I could see is jacking in your IPAQ into the carrier signal outside the minature house-of-hell.

  20. Re:slashdotted - kinda easy on Comparing Sci-fi Starship Sizes · · Score: 1

    that would be great, but until bittorrent is integrated into my web browser transparently, I'm not going to waste time downloading a zip for a site that may be only a curiosity.

    You are on the right idea... the web being an entity of data, rather than a server/client model would help quite a bit.

    although a few years of that, and a decade or two of advancements in broadband, and we'll be showing how well the server/client model beats patchy cloud arcitectures.

    oh well... eventually we'll get it right.
