Oh Oh i know. Let's talk about the technology of the kitchen knife being presented behind Beck.
Seriously what is the difference?
You are at war and you proudly present your weapons.
Imagine a list somewhere discussing about what is the most perfect knife in order to cut heads.
Imagine someone proudly presenting his weapons before he uses them.
USA is the other side of the coin being presented in the Beck video.
Enough with me...
Continue masturbating with your knifes.
I'm sure they'll "cut" a lot of heads in their productive life.
Others said EasyCalc which is a very good calculator for Palm's. If you want symbolic capabilities check Meditor. It is portable without losing any symbolic features.

I've been researching about Open Source.
Munich choose Open Source because O.S is a "strategy enabler". Cost came second.
Think it for a second. If something gives you flexibility and more choises for you strategy ultimately means that it provides you with more axis of freedom in your strategy. You can maneuver better in the long run.
I predict that this property of O.S will be more importand than cost in the future.
Yes indeed it is a very difficult problem (NP complete maybe?). But the main point here is not the diffuculty of the problem. The main point here is about any good ideas in this field. For example: -"Ants" can find routes pretty good you know. There is a lot of research in this field. -The network doesn't have to be internet quality.
Would you prefer a semi-permanent network without cost of connection or a permanent one with a cost?
Airlines used to thing that people would prefer their "permanent" internal phones (you can use them during the whole of transit) over using cellular phones (you can use them while on the ground).
Suprise! People wait until they can use their cheaper semi-permanent cellular phones (on the ground).
Using the same analogy the ad hoc network will be used instead of internet in the situations that it is good enough. There is a saying:
The enemy of good is good enough (and cheap).
At the beging it will be only theory.
Then it will be unstructured (Just WiFi nodes)
Then it will be gruesome (the basic property of it's routing theory will be flooding)
Then someone will think of something clever (this is not provable, you cannot even prove if it's provable or not (courtesy of Turing)). The stakes are very high.
About the Congress example. -The complexity of ad hoc routing is higher that the one you are describing. Routes "explode" as a function of nodes. Think about the probable routes between 4 nodes. Then 8 nodes (to be honest ad hoc routing is slightly easier than that). -I'm not alone in the Library... There are friends with me... A lot of them... AND WE ARE COMING TO KICK your........:-) (think about software agents (ants?)).
Keep dreaming.
Kanenas.
The blind cyclops asked for his name. He replied "I'm Noone".
I never expected that slashdot has so many ignorant people.
If you don't think that what this article talks about is possible you need to google for ad hoc networks.
Right now the only thing missing for this idea to come true is someone to come with an algorithm to solve the ad hoc network routing over Wifi nodes.
There are a lot of people working on the theory of this (it is a very tough problem). PtP networks work (in a sense) somewhat like what this idea works like.
And yes with the right algorithm you won't need a central "authority", you won't need someone to specify the routes, you won't need to pay to be connected. The only thing you'll pay will be the electricity and the hardware.
I believe that the posts in this article show clearly the western "civilized" mind. Where everything has to have a "dad" (authority) othewise it won't work. Where nothing is free unless it is bogus and broken.
To you all with the "Economics 101" arguments, with the "authority" arguments, with the "utopia" arguments i say that you are immature in throwing away ideas such as this article describes.
Google for ad hoc networks and hope that you'll understand the "how's" and the "why's".
If the technocrats of 70's were like you, then using exactly the arguments you describe, the Internet would be imposible.
You are wrong. I have a image (in 1 CD) which includes: -Windows 2000 SP3 -Office 2000 Premium -Adobe PDF creator -Antivirus -SSH
And many more programs.
And all these in a punny 650 MB (with pq drive image and full compression).
The trick is to delete what ever windows doesn't need (the contents of dllcache for example (you can always rebuild it later)). Plus what other temp files you find (there are a lot).
If you disable the paging file and ACPI as well this image will be able to work on everything with APM you throw it. I have it working from a pentium I to an ATHLON, PENTIUM 4.
You should disable what ever services your organization doesn't need too (telephony for example).
With this image i have setup every computer that got in my hands in 10 minutes.
Every greek should have no hard time saying that name many times in a row.
If you want to try a difficult name try: Alexandros Barbageorgopoulos. or Konstantinos Mitsikostas.
But...
Loosen up. He tried to make a joke. Not everything is culturalist or racist or everything.
I have a celeron 400 Mhz and it plays every Divx movie i throw at it. You must have overlay support enabled in your videocard (that means proper drivers) plus if you use windows a little program named DivxG400 is very helpfull.

What they have done is that they have created a scheme where a server sends the SAME stream (broken into many smaller ones) to multiple clients via multicast.
Even if you lose a packet you don't ask for retransmission but you continue listening because of Forward Error Correction in the stream (lot's of math in here). There is no control information going back and forth. Their client just listens and never sends anything except when he is done.
This essentially permits to have a single server for 1000s of clients (they talk at the article above about 10,000 VHS-quality streams at 300 kbits/s).
This is for real. I've read a lot of their papers at researchindex. They mean business and they have a viable product. To be able to send video(large files) to 1000s of clients at the same time is above the abilities of akamai too.
This way of thinking is called materialistic idelectualism (i wrote it correctly?) if i remember right. Basically it says that we should do research in anything that will give back usefull results. The russians tried this (Lysenko was the head of this movement), and failed misserably. The short time benefits of this way of research seem to be great. But in the long run u loose.
It needs a lot of care and thinking in order to get out of this kind of loophole.

God bless america (because nobody else will).

If you want symbolic functionality (Computer Algebra System) for your palm get meditor

I am the guy that did the port for the palm.

Do you see the bended pin at the left of the processor?.
The word "solaris" isn't Greek it is Latin. The Greek word for the sun is "elios". Quite different from the Latin "sol" isn't it?.
What the subject says :-)....
