I hope that Google will make them regret their attacks. I hope Google will ask them to pay for some of their news patents. As to cover the costs of defending themself and a some more just to make their points about the affair.
10-25$ a parcel against 0.1$ a letter. For the parcels, i also need far less people to do the sorting and distribution making it easily more profitable than letters. Moreover, letters and bills are more and more replaced by emails.
I have learned on a ZX81 with 1KB of memory. Later did I get the 16KB extension. First BASIC, then some POKEs to have some ASSEMBLY subroutines, the later did I got an ASSEMBLER and done everything in ASM.
But in the meantime i have by myself done some interesting think with the help of a cutter, wires and an soldering iron: * Do a better keyboard from an old IBM PC one. I have replaced the PCB with some hard cardboard and rewired the keys to the ZX81 keyboard layout. * Do a better keyboard v2. I have added some IC to add the logic needed to simulate the use of SHIFT + key to use the 52 other keys of the keyboard. * With a magazine, i made a sound card with a midi synthesizer chip. * With another magazine, i made an IO card with some logic and analog ports. * With another magazine, i made a voice synthesizer sound card. * By myself, adding 128KB memory with 16K visible in a window of the physical memory and selected by setting some register of a port. * Burning two ZX81 when i have tryed to create my own multiprocessor system. My uncle later said that the logic to protect the 2 processor and sharing the main memory was good, but i was missing some resistors and capacitors here and there making the thing not viable.
That was my last experimentation on the ZX81. The week after burning it I was on a TANDY 1000 EX pc compatible. From wich later I replaced the 8086 by a NEC V20.
This raspberry is good, but i will not really be able to do the fun things i have done with my ZX81 at the time.
"Be very careful about how you secure your broadband. You are accountable for it."
I have an apparatus from my broadband provider letting me open a wifi network. The thing is SO broken that when I activate WEP or WPA i can't connect to it anymore. I have to have some kind of 'false' security by opening my wifi by mac addresses. I have NO way of securing my wifi network as it should be. I am not ignorant, I just can't secure my wifi network.
No, tell me what i should do if this kind of stupid law come into the country i live in?
Magazine is the proper media for archival. I have found back a bunch of articles i have cut from magazines 20 years ago in my father house. They are all on good shape and i have keep some of them to archive them again in my house and disposed of the others to start a bbq some days ago. Try to store some of yours e-crap on any media floppy disk, cd, hdd, ssd) store it in a basement for 20 years. Then try to retrieve the datas again. You will not even be able to start your bbq with them if they are not anymore of some use.
If by Computational Intelligence you mean Neural networks, Evolutionary Computation or Fuzzy Logic, you should look for GPU use. You can achieve at least 10x, generally 100x performance gain easily without making your code so more cumbersome or difficult to understand. Check this implementation of a neural network in C# and Cuda or some Fuzzy Logic. For portability, in the worst case where the computer can't have NVidia video cards, you still have MCUDA that will translate CUDA GPU processing into normal CPU processing.
Don't be blind. Yes it was more complex and cumbersome some years ago, but now with CUDA, you CPU and GPU code are mixing very well without so much difficulties or complexity.
A badly written PDF with text and some graphics is about 5 KB / page. 25000 pages is about 125 MB... Putting that 125 MB file on a website and sending the link or burn it on 20 CD cost far less than this fool playing.
Start to be fun to parse isn't it? And in some languages May is not written the same way if it is the 1st of May or the 2nd of May... Then welcome in parsing hell.
What stop the emulator to have 2 display: the hidden one with original graphics where collision detection is done, and the HD one with the nice display?
I live in front of a bus stop and I work at 6km from home (bird distance).
These 6km bird distance are 6.4 km by car or 9.6 km by bicycle going thru very dangerous streets for a cyclist. 3 days over the 5 days of the week I can't take a bicycle due to my sport activities and the equipment I must take with me.
With my car it take me 15 min (with traffic jam) in the morning to go to work and 7 min to go back from work or 15 min to go back from my sport activities. With the bus it take me 10 min (with traffic jam) in the morning to go to work and 30 min to go back from work or 7 hours to go back from my sport activities because there is no more bus from 22h00 until 05h00 the next morning.
Then I can still live in town in a shoebox appartment for the same price I pay for an house with a garden just outside the town.
If I could do this with a shared automated car I would do it without thinking a bit about it. Imagine a world where you can 'order' a car, the car come in front of the door where you are and take you in front of the door where you want to go. Its like taxis without the cost of the taximan, the congestions...
Not distinguishing between program storage and data storage permit all kind of nice meta programming. LISP is beautiful in its kind for that. But not checking your inputs is the worst offender and the source of all sins. It is so easy to cut corners on input validation:-(
Lowest bidder and profit: Capitalists win, Everyone else lose. Dangerous things should not let in the hands of capitalists.
There should be a law saying that if someone put some money in an industry with the objective of making a profit, he should live with his family next to the most dangerous installation he put money in.
I got my personal server with a 3TB raid 5 array at home. And when it is backup time, my Gbps Ethernet card is white hot. My scenario is not about copying stuff to get more stuff but to just do backup of my stuff. I just do photography, and one photo could take up to 100 MB (1 x RAW (5616 x 3744 x 14bits), 1 x Color/Distortion corrected (5616 x 3744 x 16bits), 1+ x Edited (5616 x 3744 x 16bits), 2+ x JPGs at different resolutions). It is mostly OK because I launch the backups just before going to bed, but when the backups run my network is completly on its knees and unusable for anything else. That is to say that you don't need to do crazy thing to max out a Gbps Ethernet network in a non work environment.
Each eu country is autonomous for its own laws except if a law come from the eu. But this could send some ideas to other consumer organisation thru eu... I hope so.
GIMP's had crappy PSD support since 2006 at least.
Don't trow stones at me! I use GIMP as my main image manipulation tool. But i really hate when all the vectorial text layers are transformed into bitmaps. This make me unable to edit/update the texts in GIMP without recreating them from scratch. This is why I still have Photoshop on my desk:-(
And I prefer from far to do this ripping and tagging myself. That way I have consistency in the way tags are filled, having all the artists names on compilation cd and not just 'multiple artists'. How many time I have see the track title in the album title tag! How many time i have seen in 1 album the name of the artist spelled differently! And I am fed up of all uppercase titles when the title on the jacket is in title case.
Yes: "Ripping and tagging CDs is tedious". But it should be done if you want it to be done correctly. I have some FLAC in my collection who have survived the CD they come from (stolen from my car or scratched).
Slashdot Mirror
NDD was the best tool for that. It saved my ass multiple times then. But finding a machine to make it run again could be a pita now.
I hope that Google will make them regret their attacks. I hope Google will ask them to pay for some of their news patents. As to cover the costs of defending themself and a some more just to make their points about the affair.

Until you log into your Google, Facebook, or any other website. Then your whole session is linked against your profile.

Actually, we don't need PAL has there is already one version (the EUzebox) that support the scart interface and get rid of the RGB converter :).
Oups, forget the reference: Consolidated version of the Commission Regulation No 1275/2008 of 17 December 2008.

No need to store 1h if it is for accidents. 10 min before and 5 min after a shock should be more than enough.
