In addition to high-speed networks, tele-immersion will require supercomputers to perform the trillions of calculations that are needed to portray environments in 3D. This kind of computer power would have to be on tap over the Internet...
I was just wondering what kind of computers we would use as the core of a multi-user reality machine. Of course it should run some kind of *NIX, the best multi-user operating system? Why should it be win2k when multi-user support is trivial. A virtual environment needs to be a multiuser environment where fellows can interact with each other through terminals, or should i say irc... And supercomputers, speaking of supercomputers, it should be a beowulf cluster running Linux! Imagine nodes working on parallel, rendering photorealistic worlds that changes fluidly, naturally according to the user's perspective.
"The Matrix is a computer-generated dreamworld designed to blind people from the Truth" -- That we are using MS DOS all along.
what does the word "nvidia" mean anyway? i guess it means feeding monkeys with 2 cups of powdered coffe granules and then letting them code device drivers for GeForce on Xfree86 4.
senseless prediction made by people like me tend to disturb the Force
Online_freedom == Linux; Universites has always been the domain of free software such as Linux since the beginning of time. The ideals of Linux emphasizes freedom...freedom to tinker, to create, to share code. It shouldn't be a surprise to us when online freedom, such as a case like this, is promoted in universites.
I could be wrong, but who cares! I hate listening to Metallica's whines anyway...
You dont need books to learn UNIX

i learned UNIX/Linux by surfing the net,reading LDP, and crashing my PC! Newbies certainly doesnt need books to master UNIX althought getting one would help to a certain degree. There is no substitute for self-learning and determination.
