  1. Re:Technically feasible on Ask Slashdot: What Would Happen If All Software Ran On All Platforms? · · Score: 1

    I think you are deliberately ignoring the qualifier "technically".

  2. The platform is obviously the JVM, and if you think the JVM a) runs on every OS and/or b) the source code for the Windows JVM is identical to the source code of the Linux JVM, then we should really get together and discuss these nice bridges I'm selling.

    Your point being?

  4. Java software runs on just one platform. That's far from a "Universally Compatible Software Application [...] that is magically capable of running on any electronic device equipped with enough CPU, GPU and memory capacity to run the software in a usable way".

    Of course it's technically feasible. It's called universally agreed upon standards and conventions.

  6. Wouldn't greater depth also imply requiring more energy to pump the containers empty?

    Are you somehow able to sense and decode FM radio signals using your brain? Because if not, I think there's an obvious solution...

    Indeed.

    "10k please" Linux kernel: "Fuck off and die"

    AFAIK, Linux will never say "Fuck off and die" unless you're out of *virtual* address space, for which you'd need to allocate helluva lot more than 20 gig.

    I highly doubt that -40 Coulombs equals -40 Farads.

    I only fixed your flawed comparison to compare apples and apples. But it's getting obvious that you're just trying to troll, so don't expect further replies.

    Uh, humans exist. AI doesn't. Next stupid observation?

    I'm not sure if you have another stupid observation, you just repeated what I already said.

    PS: AI = information. Humans = material.

    Apples != Oranges.

    Both AI and human intelligence would be information. Both humans and AI-equipped robots would be material. So your point is?

  18. Yeh, there needs to be a rm -rf -list that simply displays the file names it would delete.

    They gave it the name find(1).

    Uh, if humans can fuck up the human race (and we sure have the ability), then why wouldn't actual, strong A.I.? Can't hurt to play it through, though for now we're safe anyway given that nobody has a clue how to come up with strong A.I. in the first place.

  20. So O(log n) (finding the insertion point) and then O(n) shifting the remainder of an array combined in your world gives O(n^2)? The fuck?

    But as of SHA1 being "broken", this is now considered possible in reasonable time. Currently it requires substantial computing power. Soon, it won't. Or might not anyway.

    Yes you can. At least the compilers i know let you get away with it (you obviously have to strip possible comment terminators from the data but that goes without saying). As an example, I've just appended 1M worth of data from /dev/urandom (after sed(1)ing "*/" away) at the end of a hello world program. Compiled fine.

    But the "random binary data" is a straw man anyway, because why would you even have to use random binary data? It's not like you don't have infinite tries with random printable ASCII.
