I never cared for any of this stuff. I'm glad tho to see better and better projects available for the rendering world. Perhaps in the future, they'll be the ones striking for higher wages, and hollywood will have to actually finish their beef with the Screen Actors Guild to atleast get *something* into their commercials.
Rendering, I believe, is the next be dristibuted app. Of course, then we might have people sneaking in shout-outs into a frame or two... heheh
BUT this is good! This is called progress, and this is called competition. File systems may seem moot, but I'm glad people haven't given up. Who better to poke the fire than IBM?
I think the future holds many things in file storage (perhaps we'll be using XML for data structure), and the more I hear about the basics of storage, the better I think computers will become.
I heard a doctor speak on this matter, and he said that people have a lot of reasons for childbirth: saving a marriage, a friend for their previous children, or to help on the farm. To save a life, he said, is one of the best reasons he had heard.
Dated May 1st... in slashdot time I can see how it might be considered old, but its good to see its still up. I remember downloading phrack from BBSes, and then getting ahold of it thru Delphi's internet services. Good time.
My absolute favorite article is the one where they do the email around the world, using UUCP style routing, and bouncing around geographically stepping servers. Indeed a good time.
I think this would be a great idea... perhaps not for Slashdot quite yet, but perhaps in the future when they want to stop employing editors.
However, I think the real world is this way... moderated by performance of your economic weath and incorporation. Perhaps that is obvious, but I think this article outlines the process of how a voice is heard in the real world. The only thing it doesn't account for neccesarily is the "who-you-know" factor, which could perhaps lie with emailing, and outside-moderation contact.
Currently I think Slashdot (as far as modeled after the capitalistic process) is much like the current economy. Business are socialized (tax breaks, federal bank loans, etc -- compared to Slashdot's story posters), and the profit is capitalized (companies earn profits the normal capitalistic way, as does slashdot by the traffic of it's posters).
On the other hand, I think you all might agree that this idea could be insanely great, or just plain suck. Slashdot's strength I feel is it's stability amongst anarchy.
I think this is akin to wearing the same thing as someone else at the office.
Did they steal code? I doubt it... did they have the same idea? Of course! My experience from what little web-scripting I've done has shown that there are only so many ways to keep track of unique user-session content, so I imagine the way they implement the idea is also extremely similar (eg, long long URLs)...
I imagine this was a top-level idea. Today in the US I heard that 60% of kids know what a 'modem' is, and only 23% of executives do.
Anyone know if this is gonna help me see aurora in Ohio? heheh or somewhere else? or perhaps make me memorize all known digits of PI? or help me find an illusive number behind all random life behavior?
Batman is such a wonderful fictional exploration of human dreams... and dreams can be *dark*.
You all remember how dark the first movie was, and me as a kid I remember just being absolutely enthralled with the retro-modern look that Tim Burton created.
I would like to see them create live action based on *a lot* of plots. For instance I think the newer Batman Beyond has taken some cool dark themes (BM murdering Com. Gordon)... and I also remember some *brilliantly* dark stories written by guest authors in a book I read once (btw... anyone know what book that was? not a comic, but guest authors writing BM stories)...
However, if the story inferrs that this movie is going to be the beginning of the legacy, then I'm all for it... what a great timeless story... how this man came to be after the murder of his parents. It has inspired countless generations.
Technology. It's always been rather unrealistic. But the one thing I loved about PI was his convincing portrayal of fictional math. The stuff didn't make sense at all after some thought, but *damn* you sure thought it did.
Perhaps he will take a cool technology edge to BM?
Mathews argues that by scrambling the CueCat's output, even weakly, the company erected a legally enforceable no-trespassing sign. "We used an inexpensive algorithm that was easily hacked," Mathews acknowledges. "But we had to use it to let people know that they should not be in there tinkering with the cat output code."
Chief Wiggum (to Ralph): "What IS your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?"
Well, with the i-opener and websurfer we've learned that even hardware is not entirely out of the lash of a good hacker.
The truth about this is that the only devices that have been exploited have been loss-leader type electronics, and built on useful hardware, which often makes the best loss-leader (ie, it's a good product).
Things that haven't done so well, and haven't been hacked have been *extremely* proprietary devices like the Mailsite personal email box (man that'd make a sweet portable bash terminal).
So... useful things tend to get reused if they're given to us. The only way companies can avoid a situation like this is to make something damn near worthless if hacked (funky hardware, no ram, no hd, odd processors, etc)... The problem of course is that those types of things don't always make good products.
"beowolf cluster" comments... specifically... "can you imagine a beowolf cluster of these to make a true recreation of beowulf? or grendle? don't mod me down!"....
for my telecommute while riding the space elevator... Anyway...
This is cool to see... I've often seen them using rather archane things, and now I really do know a little bit more of what seperates me from an astronaut.
I saw this on there earlier today, and they mentioned "Guess who is leading : )"
When I visited and voted to see who was on top, NT/2000 came up... I dunno... I think this is just a fluke... I doubt they themselves rigged it. What would their motive be?
I personally think either there are a lot more windows fans out there that read thegeek.org or MSNBC, or something (er... yeah... ummm that's it)... or Perhaps just someone running a script that thought it'd be a good gag.
I think of my dad, and how back when he was my age, everything was airplanes... airplanesairplanesairplanes... (heheh)
Now, airplanes are still around, but we all don't have one in our garage. True there have been many advantages like cleaner fuel, and more efficient jets, but they're still the same planes from the 60's and 70's.
With Moore's law its hard to imaging if computers will go the way of the jet, and hind-sight is always 20/20, but I feel comfortable being in the IS/IT market. I think we need to focus on the fact that computers have been a boom *long* in the making, and planes are more of a boom that fizzled moreso than computers are today. We are the generation that forms this technology into a service that will benefit everyone, and not just a skilled pilot and a few travelors packed like sardines...
Why are you all proud to be in IS/IT, and what do you think about technology trends becoming more informational than physical (er... that is as far as the common man is concerned) ?

Maybe historical DNA in your computer is going to be the next uber-geek chic.
