Preliminary Data from DARPA Grand Challenge As of 11:00 a.m. PST, March 13, 2004
Vehicle 22 - Red Team - At mile 7.4. Vehicle went off course, got caught on an obstacle and rubber on the front wheels caught fire, which was quickly extinguished. Vehicle has been disabled.
Vehicle 21- SciAutonicsII - At mile 6.7. Vehicle went into an embankment and became stuck. Vehicle has been disabled, and the team is recovering it.
Vehicle 5 - Team Caltech - At mile 1.3. Vehicle went through a fence, and couldn't come back through. Vehicle has been disabled, and the team is recovering it.
Vehicle 7 - Digital Auto Drive - At mile 6.0. Vehicle was paused to allow a wrecker to get through, and, upon restarting, sensors were not able to determine the proper route. After sensors tried unsuccessfully for three hours, vehicle was disabled.
Vehicle 25 - Virginia Tech - Vehicle brakes locked up in the start area. Vehicle has been removed from the course.
Vehicle 23 - Axion Racing - Vehicle circled the wrong way in the start area. Vehicle has been removed from the course.
Vehicle 2 - Team CajunBot - Vehicle brushed a wall on its way out of the chute. Vehicle has been removed from the course.
Vehicle 13 - Team ENSCO - Vehicle flipped in the start area, experienced a fuel leak, and the team needed to shut off the fuel. Vehicle has been removed from the course.
Vehicle 4 - Team CIMAR - At mile 0.45. Vehicle ran into some wire and got totally wrapped up in it. Vehicle has been disabled.
Vehicle 10 - Palos Verdes High School Road Warriors - Vehicle has been removed from the course - it hit a wall in the start area.
Vehicle 17 - SciAutonics I - At mile 0.75. Vehicle went off the route. After sensors tried unsuccessfully for 90 minutes to reacquire the route, without any movement, vehicle was disabled.
Vehicle 20 - Team TerraMax - Got to mile 1.2. Vehicle then started backing up and after.5 miles, the vehicle was disabled.
Vehicle 15 - Team TerraHawk - Withdrew prior to start.
Vehicle 9 - The Golem Group - At mile 5.2. Vehicle stopped. Vehicle had a throttle problem while going up a hill. After trying for 50 minutes, the vehicle was disabled.
Vehicle 16 - The Blue Team - Withdrew prior to start.
Right. But if you are interested in a specific subject.. Let's say you have a technical problem. Chances are somewhere on the planet someone submitted the same problem on a web-based forum.
Now you want google to give you THAT specific message. You don't want google to tell you "hmmm... I guess the solution must be in one of those zillions of forums here, here, and here".
I dunno what happened here, but in that scene they also changed what Han says.
They removed the insult... and I guess they could not get the man who was Han's voice back in 1977 to re-read it, and the result is a *completely* different voice.
This is awful. I was shocked when I saw the special edition
More seriously, they don't need a hacked kazaa client to do so. They could just set up some very stupid firewall rules just when the transfer starts, and allow only traffic with the IP of their victim.
Well, actually, 192KHz is the sampling rate. Even if frequencies that high cannot be heard, using such a sampling rate will decrease the noise added by analog->digital conversion.
Here in France (I guess most of Europe), ads are not as boring as in the USA. I have to say that when I took a trip to the states 2 years ago, I was truly horrified by the ads.
Here we have, let's say, for a 1h40 movie, 15 min ads before, 10 min ads at the middle of the movie, and 15 min after the movie. Sometimes two breaks if this is a long movie. And thus we don't feel the need for the tivo. When the ads come at the middle of the movie, we wake up, go to the bathroom, eat maybe a bit, etc... and then we are ready for another 45 minutes of undisturbed movie.
I could never figure why in a country as large as the USA, even if it has more TV channels, the commercials policies have to be desperate like this.
If the TV channels had a bit more respect for their audience, tivo would not be a threat to them.
Haha. XP crashed on me five times in the last 3 days. 98 crased on me five times in the last 3 years.

Actually, this is good news. I'm crying trying to use XP on my newest system. Where has the speed of Win98 gone ? Arguably, windows2000 was better than 98, which was better than win95, dos, and so on.. Now MS is going downhill, and.... oh, you're right;-)
maybe a faster solution would be to download the block from a node, and then download the md5sum of that block from several other hosts. so you could find out easily which of the nodes is bullshitting you without taking too much bandwidth
don't trust the client. that's what the SETI project does for instance. get the data from multiple sources, and compare them. and then kill the black sheep.
a flop is a floating point operation per second.
a teraflop per second would be an acceleration in processing power... not what the article means I guess
My guess is that "city-scale" is an exageration of the reality.
They have 640 nodes, let's say 2000 watts per node, that will take 2.5 MW. That's the power for a really small city (I'd say less than 15,000 inhabitants)
What a bout a beo.. oops.. erhh...
If Chess makes it into the Olympic Games, maybe one day we can dream of being Olympic Gold Medal of QuakeIII or whatever games exists at this time....

You offer $500, and he offers EURO 500 !
Please offer at least more than he does.
It's just you.
Find your glasses and re-read the story.
I find it truly amazing that anyone asking a question, even like this one, can be modded Insightful

Am I dreaming ? /. now.
A link to a google search ?
Thanks a lot, at least it's really interesting to read
is that RedHat's bosses have moronic ideas.
From 'don't use Linux on the desktop' to 'UNIX is dead', and I'm sure they can do even better.
Just too bad that '640K ought to be enough for anyone' has already been said.

seems fairly cheap to me, compared to what it would cost to build and launch a new one
Actually the right body for a post with such a title would be:
Oh no...
More Lemmings !
Haha.

Nah, clouds are not water vapor.
They are LIQUID water. And that's much heavier than air...
Basically a 32 bit CPU can address up to 4GB of memory, put aside some strange stuff.
With a 64 bit CPU, you could address.. hmm well at least LOTS of memory, 4 billion times more.
maybe a faster solution would be to download the block from a node, and then download the md5sum of that block from several other hosts. so you could find out easily which of the nodes is bullshitting you without taking too much bandwidth

Escrow is pronounced just as the french word "escroc", which means "crook"
No big surprise....
IMHO the game has good physics, if you don't count the car handling himself (who sucks, really)
a flop is a floating point operation per second.

even less, in fact... :)
damn MS-calculator

Very probably the computers using this bus will also have a PCI2 bus for older cards, just as today's computers have a few ISA slots.
