    Valintines day is not about lovers, it's about send cards out to people your'd like have as lovers.

    they have, the first version is for win32.

  7. Re:What kind of advances in AI? on Modular Robots · · Score: 2

    They cost ~£150 (or atlest thats how much I paied when they first came out)
    They are pritty cool, and by default you can make some niffty stuff (like RADAR's). See the website, or the back of the box for actual content.

    You need a serial port (Mac users think USB to serial port atapter).
    To develop "applications" for them, either use
    The Stuff That They Come With (crappy, aimmed for kids)
    VB, or other OCX-enabled Windows Delopement System

    Not Quite C, aviable on most plateforms, including UNIX (and alikes (Linux)), Win32, BeOS and MacOS. As the auther of the BeOS port, I can say it's piss easy to port if you need to.

    LegOS, A miniOS for the RCX, looks pritty darn cool.

    leJOS, Java RCX and tinyVM for Java based interfaces.

  12. Re:Virii? on Future Pocket P2P - Discreet Data Sharing? · · Score: 2

    Have you seen the direction of Media, (look at Apple's Quick Time or Real Player, I could easly see MS putting "valued extra content (exe)" in video's soon, some MP3's already include HTML pages.

    Then you have the other kind of spoofing, the way Outlook Viruses spread not to long ago, set it's MIME type to audio/mp3 and it's extention of .exe, the device downloads it, see the MIME type and executes it, beliving it to be safe, but exectues it based on the extention, hence killing your system. Plus you have "social engenering" spread trogons (like the newer Outlook viruses).

    mlk, only owns legal MP3's and real player tunes, and proud of it.

    My pref is to have a "user manual" (like the pdf) and the "programmer docs", not both superglued into one.

    But the java compiler itself is SLOOW
    javac is a java application (hence why its slow when pit against native compiler). I would be intersting to see the speed increase if GGJ'ed first.
