Sometimes Hypertasking is not about being faster, for example when I program to get one thing done I have to add three things, then notice 2 other things that I should fix or that could be cleaned up.
So Hypertasking becomes a routine, and adding another distraction to it isn't noticeable at first.

Yes, indeed in many countries you have to pay taxes when you create your own personal(group) money or it is forbidden. There are several private currency clubs, but I have forgotten the names.
For example in Germany, not so long ago(1666-1992), when you created a "wechsel" (called "bill" in english, but it is really a transferable and barterable debt), then you had to pay a tax on the "personal money" you just created. This isn't used much anymore but it was popular around 1935. It increases the liquididty of your enterprise.
In Italy, the mail office created their own coins for use in telephones, asimilar thing.
Ok, so I guess their existance is unlikely, but then,these radio-emitting creature could kill each other by their radio output, like microwaves - one evolutionary advantage, but it is also probably why they moved into outer space, to flee from their rivals on the crowded planet.;-)
In my theory of gravity, there is no particle negotiating gravity as a basic attracting force. It's all a giant game of billards.
So instead, imagine that the entire universe outside of a body is radiating a particle shower that pushes the body in all directions, effectively cancelling out (or if not cancelling, being unnoticeable because the entire local area is subject the same way to it).
Now imagine that a big body like the sun is blocking out a portion of the particle shower. It will block out a portion of the entire sky that decreases with the square of the distance. so we got 1/r^2; the probabilty for blocking the shower increases with the mass of the sun m1 and the probability for receiving a particle in the shower and catching its impulse is proportinal to m2.
So we get gravity=m1*m2/r^2, which is exactly the law of gravity.
The only thing that annoys me at the moment with my theory that in one year Stephen Hawkins will say that it is his theory. Well, I guess he can flesh out the math where I can't(or try to contradict it). (Tell this to Homer Simpson).
Well, back to the Allais effect, so if three bodies line up, the gravity of one body should be smaller than expected because the other body is blocking the particle shower a bit already. Calculating the effect should give a number which tells the intensity/catching number of the shower.
I agree that mathematics is mostly universal and the same, but that is not all of it ! You say:
Of course you could say that an organic tech could evolve [a transmitter], but in all honesty a civ advanced enough to genetically alter it's planet-mates to make transmitters would almost certainly have to understand the basic math THAT entailed.
If it evolves, it is not "constructed". The blueprint improves by natural selection.
A higher culture will understand math,
.. a circular way of arguing, defining a something that can communicate across the void by having our kind of culture and using math..
Cuttlefish may generate EM, but they don't on a galactic scale. There is no immediate evolutionary advantage of being able to do that...
But imagine that they would use the EM signals to attract sexual partners, and that the females would prefer to mate with the ones that "sing" louder. I admit I wouldn't place bets on finding such signals in our vicinity, but it is not impossible.
After all we call our partners too using mobile phones.
So there might even be a transmitter without a culture, not to speak of an "higher" one !
There was this paper/algorithm by a russian guy. I downloaded it once but was too much lazy and stupid to understand. And I doubt that you can still find it, because either it is too valuable or stupid to still be online.
It was an algorithm to do with MST and triangles I think to solve a problem considered NP-complete.
Now I guess he might have made a mistake in his algorithm, but what if it turns out that it works most of the time, so you can solves 99% of the cases of a specific NP problem with a good heuristic that is in P ?
After all, for some travelling salesman problems, some parts of the solution are obvious.
For PKC, this means you first have to check your keys whether they are easy to crack, and in fact I've read that for RSA/PGP, keys should be chosen smartly. However, where does the smartness end ? Maybe knowing all weak keys IS in NP~-P.
Why not mix the suggestions and have a spaceship with an ion drive that has a transmitter which can be aimed at the closest star ?
You wouldn't need to correct trajectory much, since you'd just be aiming at getting away from your earth and you would reduce the transmission power requirements.
Might explain why the signal found by S.E.T.I. is coming from nowhere. You'd have to check the parallax shift to determine the actual signal distance.
I'd have no explanation for the shift in frequency though, if it came from a spacecraft. Maybe the data is in the change of frequency, not intensity, or frequency is intentionally shifted to make the signal noticably by planets that rotate themselves.
Well I did read the patent claim, and also the lines you quoted, and in fact any root-owned setuserid executable that is started(thus creating an administrative process) by a second non-privileged process, like the shell itself or a nonroot-crontab script, fits the descriptions.
Actually every OS having the division administration/user, and having processes fits the descriptions of claim 1.
Some of the wording seems to indicate that microsoft actually did not have that in mind but only something that involves clicking somewhere, but thanks to the practice of legally obfuscating and bullshitting your claims, the claim now can mean something completely different.
I think that based on the empirics that a lot of "claim 1"s are by custom made overly broad that you should be allowed to just ignore claim 1 of all patents:-P
That the media of the West is basically brainstorming terror ideas for their foes is one of the first things I thought when faced with the fear-mongering media.
But I guess i better shut up now because everything I might say is detrimental.
About Black and White, I liked the creature fights, although they suck as a method to win the game. I also liked how the rocks heated from fireballs and started glowing in the night. It was nice what you could do with rocks.
On the strategy level, at least the way I played it, it sucked because it was very tedious to enlarge the scope of your village. Although I liked that you could make rain to grow trees, that gets tedious as well if its the only way to keep your village growing.
Maybe I lack a teachers skills, but I just didn't manage to teach my creature that using lightning on the enemy or stones(to impress) was GOOD and that using it on villagers or buildings(esp. own) was EVIL. The creature created wood sometimes though. However the creature's needs for food really interfere with long training sessions or with letting it act by itself.
I think one should get allies who continue work on the project when you don't want anymore.
Just read what Linus Torvalds did: he offered others the chance to work on Linux when he reached his threshold, and the project florished.
Some of the projects on sourceforge I looked at suffer from too much control of the author; for example, if you find the map editor sucks, but the author tells you "I am right now working on it", then he got a lock on it, and it is pointless to continue working on the editor or a map. Really a turn-off, as much as authors announcing they really need to completely rewrite their code on their own to match their new-fangled ideas. Creates a lock as well.
[Ad] Coincidently, I have a project myself where I need allies; It could be a central internet general rating system, but I'm stuck because I got no LAMP server and no motivation to do the final touches of PHP security and web design.
Contact me when you are interested. The rating system should work well for game communities with about 1000 people online, but I guess it can be tweaked, losing some of its mathematical brilliance, but working with more people.
Currently I own all the C and PHP code, and am hesitant to make it open source because I love the brilliance of the concept, but know that it is easy to copy if I reveal it;-)
Well, if you use that analysis again, you should add some more detail, or it least text that describes what the steps you split it into do - your analysis doesn't help people like me who are happy with knowing the difference between $ and % - and the others can probably analyze it themselves.
If the company gives a +100 sword of carnage out to too many people by a bug, spell, or misjudgement, and then decides to pull that sword from them or render it otherwise useless, then the players could argue that the company stole something of real value from them, since using the sword they could make money selling the powerful items they get from their kills.
So the company would be faced with the choice of either leaving their game unbalanced and non-fun, or paying millions to the players.
My suggestion would be you have an in game court, whose decisions you can under certain conditions appeal at a non-virtual court, and you would have virtual police and bounty hunters who would make it harder, but not impossible for an outlaw to act in the game.
I think he says the truth, but the system still sucks and MS might turn SCO one day - maybe OSS should pray that MS does well and never feels the need to behave like SCO. I haven't seen evidence that MS financed SCO by the way, it seems clear where SCO got their money from and it wasn't MS, at least not openly.
I read the headline: So MS has its own US marshall now, and he phelps ? How do you do phelping ? Don't know that verb.. .
Which reminds me of the idiocy of requiring web documents for government to be blind-friendly by requiring all images to have ALT tags.
It doesn't matter that your image is a spacer image, or is just a blue rectangle, or that you can just write "image32" into the ALT tag - it is blind-friendly if it has anything in the ALT tags.
This is very similar to RDF, as ALT is about adding more semantics to an image.
And automatically generated css/styles which generate a style.x1313 for DIV box id1313 - cool now it is XHTML - no way about re-using styles across the document so that you can change them quickly as was intended.
I seem to recall that people have genes that make them targets for CJD. So I think the ability to cross-infect just might vary even within one species. Using a single strain of mice for such an experiment might severly reduce your chances of finding proof of crossinfection ability. Also mice != humans.
They are right in treating micropayments as electronic payments, because lots of people will invest $1.000s, then someone will hack, spam, and scam their way to $1.000.000 and people will get mad.
Now if people treated micropayments as toy money, everything would be fine, but some don't, which is reasonable because they spent real money.
Ultimately I think there still will be micropayments, in fact I toyed with the idea of creating such a server, because of its cool, physics like laws, but my glass ball predicts there will be trouble with micropayments, and eventually some banks will buy the MMOGs, and throw their hard and software at the problem...

Both your stupid and you smart ideas have probably occured to others before. Therefore, destroy the patent office (but not their offices).

Well, we are not releasing new versions of the patched human genome yet :-)
:-)
But I sure hope it will be under the GePL(tm)
42 = 2*3*7
;-)
So you got 2 and 3, and the 5 is the prime that is missing in the product of the first 4 prime numbers

So, well it could replace the "explorer" or whatever the "SHELL" is called.
They will just force you to run it at a resolution of 65536 x 49152 with 16x antialiasing, and there, you got it, bullet time on your PC.
This unique feature gives real strategic depth to an FPS game, because you can think a minute for every move.
And it will contain a programmable backdoor so that you feel how it is to be in the Matrix when it is hacked.
