Interestinly enough, this exact resolution (1366x768) triggers a bug in remote desktop that prevents it from going fullscreen when the window is maximized... switching to 1360x768 or any other resolution makes the issue go away
as a workaround, you can use CTRL+ALT+BREAK to go fullscreen
Please MS. fix this! it's really annoying
1997 to early 1998 perhaps ?
ps: wow ! just found out my UID is the first 6 digits from my future wife ID but I had this UID loooooong before I met her
I hate dead tree books.. they are heavy, awkward to hold, no backlite, no search
I hate ebooks. expensive, you don't own them, needs power
I hate books. too long, full of pointless drivel. every chapter repeating the last.
text is too low a bitrate for me... I get bored easly.
also, I have an hypothesis. People with Myopia usually like to read , because upclose they see better, with less effort. I have hypermetropia, and for me to focus on near objects requires a lot of effort giving me huge asthenopia (even with the correct glasses). And because of that I hate to read long books.
audio-books are even worse... I can't concentrate on a guy reading a dumb text in a monotone voice. and when they have actors, they usually suck
I like reading wikipedia entries for books.. it sums it up pretty nice for me. really compressed bitrate (thou lossy)
in the old powerbook g3 (wallstreet, lombard and pismo) you could replace the battery while the machine was sleeping.. without shutting down or connecting to AC power
also, those models had dual media bays that could hold 2 batteries.. just awsome
too bad johnnny ives is such a minimalist these days
I think that when you name things, they gain a soul. and they behave differently than unnamed things...
The anthropomorphization of objects isn't new, but I think it works in the sense of peace of mind.. your named object is your friend. Treat it well and it won't break when you need it most...
perhaps than google should use it's powers to drive those spammers out of business by targeting their business model on the root level. but I can't say how. I'll leave to the community to find that out.
actually you can't win.. so the RIAA can only do 2 things: make music free or make music unplayable... so far they are going to the unplayable route...
I developed a very basic spread spectrum frequency domain watermarking that can resist to reencoding and be very transparent spreading the bits of information across different frequencies. if you analyze the encoding, you can use the frequencies that the encoder gives more importance and store bits there for increased reenconding strength. or you can use less important frequencies to really hide the watermarking, and also assure that the audio wasn't reencoded or touched. the spread spectrum technology can assure that you distort the minimum amount possible each frequency. and by choosing random frequencies for each audio frame, based on a pseudo-random number generator, you can really hide the watermarking... using CDMA techniques , if you don't know what you are looking for, when comparing the watermarked audio with a clean sample, you will only recover some noise.
call Tom Selleck, and make him run after Gene Simmons again.. please ? and no technospiders this time, please...

Forty Years of LOGO

I still have my 5 1/4 discs with LOGO and my little apps... the one I am most proud of is a bar, with a ticking clock and everything... It took me a week to sync the clock...
there is only a handfull of games I play more than once (besides shmups) and Portal is one of them... this game is simply perfect in the true sense of the word, as in complete. self contained. completely done.
the story that is presented to you at the begining is as simple as it should be, since you are actually in a test enviroment. the truth is never fully revealed. you have to break the walls and try to discover the truth behind this perfect, clean enviroment. and as always in distopian sci-fi, the truth is much more crude and evil. and perhaps that isn't even the whole truth.
the simple fact that at the end you can beat the test masters is a 180 shift in storytelling. it's another level of freedom to turn the test around and defeat the testers.
very very few games can capture your imagination as this...
the answer to the question "is this art?" is a simple one. How Portal made you feel ? If you felt something, it's art.
I played the beta UT3 demo, and despite the awsome graphics, I didn't felt anything.
the team behind half life 2, ep 1 and 2 and portal are true artist. you really feel something when you play those games.
and also, the cake is a lie. (this is another example that Portal is art. this phrase will be in our minds forever.)
write the script and it will sell !
I can see already the posters, planet of the apes-like huge letters saying " the end of humanity was just the beginning ! "
Brazil has the largest Uranium deposit on the world. Unfortunately, it sits under the Amazon Forest.. so, how can you mine that ? with extremely expensive and specialized mining procedures, which we don't have. This is one of the reasons the world is so interested in the Amazon Forest. And as usual, our own governants will sell out our goods to the rest of the world so they can personally enrich. That's why I say Brazil should elect me as our President.. too bad I am not 35 years old yet... you have to be 35 to be a candidate for president here... if I were the president, I would close our borders for 5 years while we develope a massive mineral and industrial park so we can enrich that uranium and sell at all time high prices for the rest of the world. We should do this to all other minerals, such as bauxite, that is used to produce aluminum. Too bad Brazil is too dumb to elect me as their ruler... I would close the congress, and close the judiciary system and decide the life and death to the citizens. and the ministry of truth would make everyone happy. it would be a perfect world... poor children would be enlisted on the army at age 6, so they could have propper care and education, while enlarging our army (just like sparta). rich people would "donate" their money so the country can grow, but they would feel like they are really part of it, and not being ripped off. it would be a great nation... too bad it's only a dream... but 7 more years and then I will be able to run for president.. you will see... and don't worry, I don't want war with other countries.. but don't try to undermine our sovereignty. we will fight to the end !
true story.. I developed a php script that embeds 3 bits of information on a 4x4 pixel array, using DCT and spread spectrum, but I did with the blue hue, which to my knowledge is the one humans see the worse ( because of the refraction on the crystalin, it actualy is out of focus on our eye, hence black lights from discos are blurry)
hey fujitsu , hire me ! I could use a job near akihabara
nobody would damage it's own property, unless you get really mad at it.. just when you punch your keyboard or CRT monitor when something goes wrong. but as always, people would damage something that isn't theirs, and then we could have the robot call for help or something, like the alarm on a car...
but I forsee a great market for robots that can be abused as much as you want, with various responses, like "c'mon ! is this the best you can do ? " , to "please ! make it stop !"..
... in the backwards, barbarous and poor country of Brasil, our elections have been 99% eletronic for the past 9 years, without any hicup... one can imagine that perhaps the monkeys, snakes and tigers are helping us vote somehow...

they could be using multiple smaller bateries, each with its own controller. and charge them in parallel

because the controls sucks and the API is limited no direct hardware access diminishes the performance

instead of character recognition, ask questions based on a given image
example:
image with a cat on the left and a dog on the right.
question: what's on the left?
answer: cat
example2:
girl crying, next to a broken glass
question: why the girl is crying?
answer: because of a broken glass
it's very human readable, and very dificult for software interpretation
and I just patented that...
