    I love Orson Scott's books, i read them, i will read them, even if he is a mass murderer. And convicted. And put in jail. That does not change the fact that his books are soo good. Unlike you, man, i do distinguish between author' believes and the quality of his work.

    Actually, you made capitalism sounds bad, but the reality is that what makes capitalism be bad is the protectionism, networking, connections, you name it, funny way for the regular employee to land a job that he/she does not deserve. As simple as that. There is no free market. Or if i have to make it crystal clear, what is bad in capitalism is the communism.

  12. Let me try... on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    You have to implement a BAR, showing the progress of M operations, executed in N seconds.
    Your BAR has 100 units. Your time is.....the computer time.
    The computer time is INCORRECT. Believe me, it really is.
    Now, You dont have M, and you dont have N. So, the questions is, how to divide M by N, when you dont know anyone of them!!!
    Short answer, by measuring the calculated Mt, for a fixed amount of period T. Every t seconds.
    So, in the begining you will have pretty funny results, but as the calculations are going, so will your BAR.
    A few problems here, the fixed "t" amount of time is fixed for you, but not for the computer, and there is simply NO way of having always the exact "t" period of time, all the time. Except if you have a real time OS. Even then it is not an easy task.
    Second problems is that the calculations made so far are not keeping the progress of the calcultaions. So, just for example, a better solutions it to keep all the Mt and Tt pairs, and to make one nice, good, pretty complicated math calculation, called interpolation, for the purpose of finding out the exact LAW your bar is progressing on.
    So, easy task, huh? And i have not even started talking math.........Again, trust me, it is not an easy task :)

  18. Re:It is already done. on Book Review: Burdens of Proof · · Score: 1

    Actually, what i am trying to imply is that if I, and my Friend decide to establish secure tunnel between us, and having before that exchanged the private keys, then it will become extremely difficult for anyone else to decode our conversation, or to pretend to be one of the parties (yes, that's true, the man in the middle has to have one of the private keys too if he wants to succeed). In most cases, this is enough, as the only way for the Evil guy to take your keys is to do it in person, physically. And if he has to do it for 300 million people...you make the math.

    You do realize that the full blown encryption between person A and person B does not involve anything but the public keys from A and B for encryption, and the private keys from A and B for decryption? You do realize that there is no need of third party (government) to assist you of securing an encrypted tunnel between A and B? Again, do you really know what secure connection is?

Nevertheless, when you do a lot of multitasking, play 2-3 games...ok, ok, only one, but the other two are still in background, having some VM, etc, you will find out how fragile the computers are nowadays. The solution? Buy some DELL, and be happy with the most stable, and with the least performance computer.
