How they could have ignored this game is beyond me. Play it every day for an hour and it will take 2 years to win. The game was sold bundled with a guide. It was sold like that in stores that didn't even sell guides to begin with. I still haven't beaten it. Never have I been taken in by a game with such a great story. The background, the detail, the plot, the expansive world. I'll have to buy the smashpack for DC just to play it again.
True, Jenson is at the back, but more often than not so is Fisichella. The Bennettons are suffering from a notorious lack of power. I'm sure they will continue to do so until Renault gets their engine right.
I would agree with you about the car being a big part of racing, but that's why they have a Constructors Championship. There IS a lot more to it than just the car though. Look what Michael did with Bennetton when he won the championship, and also look at what he did with the Ferrari team, he turned it around completely.
More supporting evidence of the driver having more of an impact than the car is with Jarno Trulli and his Jordan versus David Coulthard and his McLaren at the race two weeks ago in Silverstone. Jarno qualified.003 seconds behind David and his vastly superior McLaren. Not that I think much of DC, but still...Kimi Raikkonnen is also another example. In the beginning of the season he was able to mix it up quite well with Hakkinnen and Montoya, and he did that with a vastly smaller team and LAST year's Ferrari-rebadge. He should be interesting to watch...
Eddie also has had a raw deal with the Jaguar. Until recently their aero package has been crap, and so has their reliability. Not to mention the fact that he almost won the World Championship when at Ferrari (which was at that time inferior to the McLarens). I'm sure if Eddie hadn't have had to play second fiddle to Michael before Michael broke his leg(s) he would have beaten Mika.
A good driver in a mediocre car is better than a mediocre driver in a good car.
This is also how Jacques prepared for his first Formula 1 season, by racing the tracks on a PlayStation video game. In that season he set the record for most points scored as a rookie with 78. Those 78 points were enough for second place in the World Championship. While it helped that he'd raced in IndyCars and F3, it's still an impressive feat, especially when you consider the fact that he hadn't raced many (if not all) of those tracks in real life before.
I'm assuming you don't support 2600 and their DeCSS case? The heart of their defense is source code is free speech. Your bomb analogy precludes any belief in code being speech. If these companies aren't more careful with this code-speech thing, they're going to get bitten when we start copying their non-copywritable works.
NTSC is broadcast at a resolution of 480 lines, interlaced (480i). Most DVD players also provide a picture at this resolution. Newer DVD players (along with newer DVDs recorded in the format) can display 480 lines progressively (480p). The difference is akin to running your monitor at 1280x1024 interlaced versus 1280x1024 non-interlaced. The definition of HDTV encompasses a variety of resolutions, some of which are 720i,720p,1080i, 1080p. The only requirement to be an HD-capable monitor is to display 1080i in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The reason most HDTVs don't include built-in decoders (and why you shouldn't buy one that includes one) is that the format(DTV) to broadcast those HD pictures has not been agreed upon. I think there are currently 18 ATSC formats for DTV. An HDTV bought today will not become obsolete, it will be capable of displaying HD-pictures provided you have an HD-tuner that works on the DTV format(s) being used.
What this does for Adobe, or any other sinister substitute for Adobe, is that every other company that works on Adobe technology in some manner is now legally bound to report deficiencies with that technology to Adobe courtesy of the DMCA. If you report such deficiencies to anyone, you get arrested like Dmitry. Or you get sued like 2600. Or you get censored like Felten. Maybe instead of publishing results you should just send Adobe a bill for services rendered. Sounds fair to me.
Geez, I don't even trust humans to do their jobs correctly, and they've had how many thousand years of development? Which brings us to the topic of humans writing software for these beings. Do you think they'll get that right too? I doubt it.
And just in case everything does go wrong, that smart robot guy at MIT(I think) built his without legs. It's bolted to a table. Talk about reading too much sci-fi...
That's the last thing I want to try out. Just imagine the outcome after the first DOS attack, or when the idiot construction workers cut the backbone. Why do people insist on touting never-before-attempted-and-completely-irresponsibl e-and-idiotic uses for new technology?
When was the last time you heard about an inanimate carbon rod? It's time we stand up and recognize all the valuable work inanimate carbon rods have contributed to our space program. These nameless heros deserve parades and medals. They deserve to be recognized! Show your support for the inanimate carbon rods!
Then you misunderstand some of the complexities of weather forecasting. One of the reasons that many disparate models of long term climate change agree is that over sufficiently long time scales...the small scale effects...that contribute to weather forecasting being hard can be neglected
So what you're saying is that the small scale effects we are creating now can be neglected in the long run? Does this not fly in the face of all the reasons to limit the pollution which supposedly causes global warming?
Really? You may be right, I have no numbers, but the places in US I have been most of the Ph.D. students have been Asian or European. I sometimes think that the only reason USA hasn't become a third world country is the amazing number of bright minds they import from the rest of the world. They don't seem to produce many of their own.
Because all of the students that could be PhD candidates are out in the business world making money instead of incurring debt. There's no real benefit for a student to go for a master's or PhD yet. They make just as much money without the debt.

Water Guns

· Score: 2
The article went straight from squirt pistols to second generation Super Soakers, without ever mentioning the originals. The original Super Soakers weren't of the 2 reservior variety, but were a single reservior into which you pumped more and more air, not water, to build pressure.
Doesn't say much for their research.
If you had bothered to read page 3 you would have seen them mention the original Super Soakers.
I think the intended benefit is in rendering the graphical representation of an already-calculated model. Sure, creating the models, wireframes, animations, etc. are the most time consuming process, but rendering the textures, reflections, transparencies, etc. aren't cheap either. That's where the GF3 comes in.
The hard(er) part is getting the models and animations to look "right." The easy(ier) part should be rendering the textures for those models. Right now they're both expensive. The GF3 should lower the cost of the latter.
Driving a car is not an illegal offense until your speed passes the posted limit. One cannot tell whether you have passed the posted limit unless they search you with a radar gun. The officer must have a probable cause to suspect you of speeding. If you are observed madly passing vehicles, that would constitute one. Merely traveling down the interstate is not. However, officers beam you with the radar gun regardless. Only if you are speeding do they pursue. It has been said that some officers can tell the speed of a vehicle based on the pitch made by the radar gun. Everyone is searched until a guilty party is found regardless of probable cause for the search in the first place. That's my point. Driving is not a probable cause to "search" your vehicle for its speed, unless reasons OTHER than the radar gun's measured speed indicate excessive speed.
It's not a search though. Your car is broadcasting how fast it's going
The same can be said of a house and light it broadcasts in the infrared range. This has already been ruled an unreasonable search.
I've never quite understood how using radar guns are different than searching my body. I sincerely doubt it's possible for a human to detect with no aids whether I'm traveling faster than a posted speed limit alone or with a flow of traffic that is also traveling faster than the posted limit. The officer cannot determine whether I am breaking the law until they zap me with the radar gun (which is an abstraction of a "search"). It's the same way they can't tell whether one is carrying narcotics, one must be "searched" to discover the presence/absence of narcotics. It seems to me very similar to the issue of the (illegal) heat-guns used to discover illegal activities.
About 18 percent of all the "dark matter" in the universe may now be made up of neutrinos.
Anyone care to elucidate on this part?
There is a lot more mass in the universe than what we can see (what you think of as normal matter). The theory is that there is a bunch of dark matter that we can't "see". Since previously mass-less particles now have mass, this accounts for much of this mass we previously couldn't see and which we assumed was composed of dark matter.
The gold standard seems to have been replaced by the paper standard. No longer is your money backed by gold, but by paper. Consider your assets contained within banks, credit unions, mutual funds, stocks, online brokers, what not. It's a number in a digital system of some sort. You deal with those digital numbers in most anything you do, not gold and not paper.
When you go to the ATM and withdraw money, you exchange your digital money for paper money. An electronic debit exchanges said amount digitally for said amount physically.
Same thing happens with credit cards. A credit is sent to a merchant as an electronic number, and is transferred electronically by your credit-issuing institution to the merchant's credit-accepting institution. And when you go to pay your credit card bill 30 days later, you write a check. And that check says to electronically transfer said debt amount from your bank account to your credit-issuing bank's account. No physical money is actually transferred. Checks are just an analog of electronic transfers. Your electronic money is only backed by paper money, which is backed by nothing. Just somebody's willingness to accept it.
Completely unrelated----Money is a very creative solution to a dificult problem. It allows any medium of worth to be converted to any other medium of worth. Suppose I grow apples and suppose you grow bananas. If I want some of your bananas (aside from theft) the only way to get some is to trade you my apples. But if you don't want my apples, I'm SOL. I have to convert my apples into something you want, say oranges. Now I have to go trade my apples for oranges, and those oranges for bananas. Now imagine this extended to the millions of things which can be bargained/traded for. Money is that adapter. That's all it's good for. And it's meant to be spent. It serves no purpose otherwise.
After repeatedly taking time off work to follow my realtor throughout Wilmington, Delaware ( I don't think we have any screendoor factories) to look at various houses (all of which did not suit me) I decided to check out the local realtor websites. Patterson Schwartz lets you search all of their listings. Prudential Fox and Roach also lets you search, and even provides virtual tours of most homes. That's how I found my home. I found it online in the area I wanted, looked at the virtual tour to make sure I was interested, and told my realtor that's the house I wanted to see. The MLS (multiple listing service) number was provided as well. My realtor didn't need to guess at houses I liked, I didn't have to worry about any nasty surprises (The 2 bedroom 2 bath house where the second bathroom consisted of a pipe emerging from a cinderblock wall in an unfinished basement springs to mind).
The only drawback is that the realtor sites only allow you to search their listings. There is no real centralized web-accessible search page. You'll have to jump from realtor to realtor and hope they all let you search until you find what you're looking for.
For those of you wishing to rent, the rental sites www.apartments.com and www.apartmentguide.com (there are lots more) are searchable in most metropolitan/national areas, and many listings provide floor plans. They are also extremely searchable.
I still don't get why you'd want to rent in Philly. My mortgage payment is less than monthly rent in a 3 bedroom place in center city. Then you get to add on the $200+ a month for city parking. That's equivalent to a monthly payment on a commuter car. To each their own, I suppose.
Also, in Java, there's no way to pass variables by reference. So, in order to have a method change a value that you pass to it, you have to encapsulate it in a class. Either a custom one, or something like Vector - which is not cleaner. Also, teaching someone to rely on Garbage Collection is insane, it teaches someone to write sloppy code. Java is not a cleaner environment, and it doesn't teach people to write cleaner code.
Obviously you don't understand the language, because your "pass variables by reference" comment is completely inaccurate as shown by this response.
I've seen Java coders who STILL can't figure out how to dispose of memory, basically don't understand the difference between stack and heap, and don't understand pointers well enough to dispose of an element of a linked list.
Secondly, this is exactly the point of high(er) level languages: To eliminate details that are better solved by the machine, or previously by someone else. I've seen C/C++ coders who still can't produce binary output by hand from their source files. They're so stupid they have to use a compiler.
No, it doesn't. By virtue of using Garbage Collection, it is taking memory management out of the hands of the developer, teaching people to be lazy when it comes to object instantiation and use
Garbage Collection is completely unrelated to the concepts of Object Oriented Analysis and Design. Automatic Garbage Collection allows one to focus on solving a problem. Forcing manual garbage collection is a step backwards in any modern language. It's a detail that the machine is better able to deal with, as it should be. Automatic Garbage Collection is a concept that can be applied to many differing programming languages and it is a detriment in none of them.
So, in order to have a method change a value that you pass to it, you have to encapsulate it in a class
Or behavior more commonly known as a side-effect. And also best to be avoided when dealing with Object Oriented Programming. A common mistake of many C/C++ programmers is to get caught in the procedural traps introduced and taught by C and adapt those same concepts, wrongly, into their OO work when using C++. This is probably the reason why you think encapsulating your value in a custom class is a poor decision. Maybe you should study the term encapsulation.
And as for your comments about ease of learning. It may be easier to learn C/C++ (which is the biggest source of problems: C is a procedural language, C++ is not, but the grouping of these two together produces disastrous results), but that ease is because people learn the wrong way to write OO code. Java teaches, or forces, the correct way. After learning the proper way in Java, you'll find that you actually write better OO C++.
Java allows you to solve problems, C++ allows you to solve details. As an employer, I know which one I'd want you to deal with.
