Isn't the U.S.A the only country to use nukes in war? And they used it on Japanese civilians?...After the war was won?
95% of U.S. mass-media is American-centric. Where is the stage for non-U.S. opinions inside the U.S? There is no healthy introspection & that leads to bigotry and pride.
The United States has the most prisoners per capita in the world. The state is promoting, paying for and organizing what amounts to racial cleansing with its war on drugs. You see, black men and white men statistically consume the same amount of drugs, yet in jail black men who were convicted for drug charges outnumber white men 40 to 1.
The war on drugs has dragged into Central America & Mexico creating armed conflicts where none would have been. Think about it: drug lords would not exist if the prohibition on drugs didn't inflate the prices the way the prohibition on alcohol raised alcohol prices (artificial scarcity).
Millions of civilians in Iraq are dead and dying because of the blockade imposed on the country by the United States. It's true that it would all end if Saddam Hussein would just give up his power, but they knew he never would. Millions dead... Is that the only answer you could come up with?
How about going to school in Europe and taking American history?
It runs. It works fine.
The box acts as a firewall/proxy and is also hooked into my brother's main sound system so he can listen to MP3s (that are on a windows share).
I can't believe ppl will bitch about speed when they try to run GIMP, KMail, Konqueror, licq, 16 Desktops (all with different backgrounds).
Common sense...
the magnetic field is able to analyse information collected from ions (charged particles). The information is in the form of a spectrum (range of frequencies) that can be analysed with Fourier transform.
A Fourier transform is an algorithm to analyse spectrums to extract frequencies. It's used to make MP3s:)
AFAIK, different elements have different frequencies that can be extracted from a spectrum created by the device mentioned.
It's a little flying saucer!

If I were the president of a gaming firm (instead I'm the president of a free software producing company), I would seperate the code from the content and cut some costs.
Game development costs are ridiculous for the returns of mediocre selling games. Either you make a smash game or you sink.
Costs could be cut a heck of a lot if there was more code re-use in today's gaming industry. It seems every little game has its proprietary 3D rendering engine. That's great, but why not focus your efforts where it counts (the fun of the game!).
If there was a free, cross-platform, very fast (as in cpu cycles) rapid game development platform that emphasised modularity, anyone could build games on their spare time using world-class tools developed by thousands of enthusiasts all over the world! All that would be needed is a game production company to want to cut development costs by not wanting to pay for a rewrite of mountains of code.
If the game development environment was to be composed of many interworking (but independant) parts, the useless parts could be discarded when not needed (stopping game developer's fear of bloat:)
Making the environment easy to use would encourage new developers who are only interested in making games (instead of computer programming) to make more games! It would also increase pressure on game production co's to make better games!(nice graphics are a novelty, crappy storylines make for crappy gameplay and no fun)
This only leads to increased prosperity and everything your heart desires. Thank you.
(I was told this text was hard to understand if you don't know that sound is nothing more than waves, and that waves can be 'drawn' in digital by stacking together a bunch of numbers representing the amplitude of the wave at exact timed moments. All musical effects are math on those 'strings' of numbers))
I was thinking of starting a musical project after my current gig is over.
It would be cool if we could create a musical tool (maybe a replacement to proprietary VST, but completly VST compatible...) that was completely free and ultra powerful.
Python is a language I've come upon recently and it seems to be very apt for massively paralleled computational tasks such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and VST effects (and musical effects in general).
All that would have to be coded is an agent app that does work on incoming packets and outputs to another specific agent(eventually the signal data would return, completely processed, to the output computer)
Live shows using the software could consist of one controller computer that changes parameters for each effect according to musician's input(knobs and/or instruments plugged into the computer). That computer's agent would grab the input and send constructed commands to the processing cluster. The processing cluster would run all the math, then output the resulting signal to the output computer, (which is running an agent whose 'job'(or 'effect') is to play the signal) resulting in crackling beats and such)
Current encryption is strong, but not infallible. Because of quantum mechanics, you would be able to write perfect public/private key crypto that is not interceptable.
To the best of my understanding, quantum crypto has to do with sending photons with specific polarities across a pipe.
It works because anybody who wants the information (photon) would have to bother the photon to get it's polarity. So getting the information messes the information and invalidates it(it would be coupled with message integrity checks and public/private key crypto)

You're wrong. It's about critical mass. If emulation causes enough people to switch to Linux, then there will be a market for Linux games
That is not what I experience at all... KDE 2 has been nothing but smooth sailing (save a few bugs).
