the most important thing here, is when you combine stuff from all the different licenses, to make sure there are no extra loopholes for greedy corporate lawyers. maybe we need one unified standard to do this. as always, teamwork is the key. if licenses need to be combined, the backers of those licenses need to be determined which can and will be used.
hey if open source projects work, why won't this? i mean, volunteerism can have its downfalls, but i think this could be worthwhile... unless we find some mischievous contributors.
hello, the internet is in its INFANCY! at least on the mainstream level. i know everything is this electronic age is moving fast, but the internet has not yet peaked. is has to settle down before it expands again, true. but it will not slow down significantly until something replaces it. i remember that people thought the internet would be crushed under its own weight by 2001. people say these things without considering other possibilties, most of which are far more likely.
metal gear solid is definitely one of those original games that everyone loves. all those come from people like this guy who are interesting, creative geniuses. he is in company with people like Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo.
now combine this with intel's nanotechnology, the 3-atoms-thick thing. of course, that would require a lot more cooperation than everyone would be willing to provide. but if this eventually happens, we may hit the 10GHz mark even faster than everyone thought.
maybe this will finally be an underground, non-mainstream type deal that people can use without fear of the government coming in and intervening. that was the big problem with napster, it spread too far. let's hope this one stays concentrated to those who will use it responsibly.
yeah unless it's some kind of compact version, i wouldn't embed it. that would take up way too much space, space I need for stuff like gameboy emulators:)
careful, slashdot readers, big brother is watching.
so you say that just because you own a CD, you should be able to listen to its content whenever? no! others want to reserve all rights to determine when you can listen to it. and mp3s? why should you be able to listen to something before you buy it? you guys are driving a stake through the heart of capitalism. i want you all to feel guilty. very guilty.
i think one of the greatest things about X as it gets older is the fact that it's less of a hassle. originally i used mandrake because it was so easy, later on i got into more complex stuff. it's really fun to hack stuff, but sometimes getting things to work can be too much of a problem, so I like it when things are standardized.
i'm still of the belief that we should master our regular computer technology before to moving on to quantum computing-- give ourselves 2 good legs to stand on. but maybe i'm just stuck in the vacuum tube age.
well, who is the man going to pass the torch onto? i mean, all of the great minds throughout history have an understudy who either turns out evil or succeeds again. but seriously, it seems like the old guard of technology is being replaced by profit-driven dot-com people. is that the direction we want to take?
well you see the thing about java is it's already obsolete, look at all the other tools we have today. if only it wasn't adopted so universally, we could get rid of it entirely.
actually, you're talking about entropy, which is governed by the second law of thermodynamics. trillions of trillions of years from now, the free energy of the universe will be decreased severely. yeah 5.12! (for any MIT people out there)
wow, how would you like to have your fate determined by a math equation which could result in "deadly plasma discharge?" don't mess up your metrics this time, NASA....
whenever there's a new innovation in technology, it always booms until some outside force (usually the government) gets involved and really screws it up.... the more patents that are granted, the less options are available to people who want to put their foot in the door. then we have bottlenecking, and the industry chokes to death. let's not let that happen with the software industry.
I mean, what happened to the James-Bond type villains that always left when the hero is in some sort of trap, giving him a chance to escape? Crime should be more fun these days. Just imagine if Bill Gates did something fun like this.... oh I don't know, like stopping his usage of ruthless tactics to dominate the operating system market?
