Dear dickface anonymous coward. (god why am I even responding to this troll?)
Here is a picture Christophe Thibult took of me and the other kaillera moderator one day when we were just hanging out.
This is another pic, this time i'm with the whole nullsoft crew at the CA extreme games expo. (forgot who's playing with me, some nullsoft dev)
I would have found the post on the kaillera forums where Justin Frankel thanked me personally for giving him and the crew a bunch of 8-bit atari stuff I have collected over the years, but autotrimming has nuked that post.
Don't player hate, hate the game.
AOL is $$$ hungry
on
AOL's $299 PC
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Not really major super proof of their money hungryness, but Winamp5, which is created by nullsoft, who is owned by AOL time warner is going to have a "pro" version that will cost money.
Being that I sort of know the nullsoft crew, I know they probably didn't like having to do this.
I guess AOL had to make money on those cool CD tins they were shipping out last year.
In my previous post on the new industrial revolution I discussed how the impact of robotics and cad design would result in more variety seen on the road. This post will focus on the technological impact these will have on car features and safety.
1 wheel is good, 2 wheels are better, 4 are better still. When you start to go into 8 wheel designs you start to run into problems with friction (due to bad wheel alignment). This isn't noticeable on vehicles carrying large mass (such as semi trucks) because the momentum of the mass keeps the vehicle going in a straight line, but on small less than 2 ton vehicles one wheel out of alignment would be very noticeable. Although technology exists to re-align your tires on the fly exists, current auto makers have yet to implement that type of self repair into their vehicles. Instead they rely on good old physics and mechanical engineering to figure out how best to tune the suspension for maximum performance.
With robotics and sensors implemented mechanical suspension systems will be obsolete. Cars like this one will make adjustments on the fly to suite current road conditions, instead of the specialized approach used by automakers today. If you want to go really fast, you buy a car with a big engine, low to the ground. If you expect to be driving on rough terrain you buy a 4wd vehicle with adequate ride clearance. Shouldn't transportation be able to adapt to it's environment?
The main reason automakers take this specialized approach is so they can break the car market into different segments. Instead of creating a cheap, one size fits all vehicle we get many choices that are basically the same ideas all rehashed in one form or another so they can appeal to a wider audience. Jim bob likes his ford f150, soccer mom likes her GMC suburban, Gary geek loves his prius hybrid. For the most part though, all these cars still have the same wheels, drive train, suspension as the other does. How can one justify that as truly different?
Because of our new industrial revolution and the rising computation power of electronics, we'll start seeing things like self driving cars as standard equipment. This will in turn drive down the prices of material logistics for manufacturing plants as they will no longer have to rely on teamsters unions to deliver materials or finished products to market. With robotic factories and robotic delivery bringing the labor cost down to near zero, hopefully we will see the prices of these new vehicles drop in line with that of the manufacturing costs. An added benefit to the consumer will be the inclusion of these new high tech features as standard option packages.
Right now is a transition time to this new industrial revolution. I know in the long run my children will benefit from both the choice and low price of these internationally produced goods. As more of the world produces a product, their need for this product increases as well, whether it be cars, IT services, computers, or what not. Demand creates necessity, which turns into invention.
We won't see much of the old technology on the road in 20 years. By then the 57 Chevy will be 66 years old, old enough to collect social security if it still exists. I think the car of the future wont look anything like the car of the present because of all the variety that will exist.
Of a B-52 Bomber raining motion sensors down on a city. I doubt they would have much tactical use in a non-urban enviroment due to it being so spread out, but in cities being able to tell what's moving on every street corner would kick ass.
I don't know the specifics of the law, but from what I know about the FCC it was founded to regulate wide area transmissions right? Anything to do with radio that passes over public land.
Most of the internet now is not publically owned. AOL/Time Warner has some of the nicest backbones in existance (I don't think I need to remind avid/. readers of how many times we gave those servers beatings for matrix and LOTR trailers) Either they use magic, or their network has more bandwidth than a bittorrent.
Which causes me to say, what gives the goverment the right to go after a company like AOL if they started providing phone services to it's subscription base. As long as AOL allowed other IP telephony providers to route calls into their networks, which was the community based resource sharing it's creators invisioned, then in essence it is a wide area transmission. If a node goes out, it reroutes.
It's a paradox. We can't have our cake and eat it too and unfortunately for most of John Q Public in the US, the goverment wants to be able to have evidence collecting power. We want privacy and we want a goverment that can defend us from scumbag corporations at the same time.
I think the FCC is a lone tomato rotting in the sun, skin blistering with flys buzzing about it, who's smell of decomposition just barely singes your nose. Regulation did not bring the consumer choice, which is why when deregulation came about the choice in phone service providers skyrocketed.
It's proof that less goverment involvement in phone providers results in better consumer choice. I for one am totally for letting any company do this.
This news is sort of old hat though, since many companies i've worked for over the years had IP based telephony for connecting calls between offices. I know a lot of the insanely big (like AOL/Time warner) have to use IP traffic for their voice data. Cisco does for sure.
50 years ago, if you wanted to build a car/motorbike you would need to draft plans, then have a prototype built/tested before it ever hit a real assembly line. This would also generate tons of paper which had to be stored and secured. If you wanted another plant to have your plans you would have to mail them, train workers, ect. Changes and customizations took weeks or months, depending on how much training was needed for the workers and how much retooling was needed for the line.
Now you can design it in cad. Without even building a prototype you can test the handling inside a computer, then when your cad drawing is exactly how you want it, outsource the assembly it to a foriegn factory. Thanks to the lovely internet you can have your plans get there in hours. Changes can be made on the fly because workers have been replaced with robots. Japan is still ahead of the game in robotics, that's why I predict they will be the first to specialize in these types of "Just in time" assembly lines.
As reliable as current automotive robotics are, I think that we will see companies like Honda building entire factories filled with Asimo robots. Since the human body is designed so well for so many tasks, it makes sense for them to use humanoid robots for more general tasks like the current human population is used for today. Yes despite robots in factories now, we still need humans, but I don't think it will be too long before we have robots doing these tasks.
The bottom line to all this is once the ball gets rolling from these independant outfits like segway building vehicles, we'll see more variety on the road, and not just the gas guzzling oil dependant combustion vehicles we have today, but neat stuff like this self balancing unicycle.
This is totally OT but since you'll get this response on your/. messages. You prolly get a million show idea's a week, so this one probably got sent to/dev/null but...
A few other slashdotters and myself want to see you create a reality show called "Bullies" or something along those lines.
Basically it would be just like the show "cheaters" but instead of catching infedility, you would catch bullies on tape, which would be followed up with a parent/teacher conference between the parents of the bully, and the bullied.
There's a lot more we've come up with, but thats the basic idea, could you post a reply and let us know if this idea floats your boat (or starship)I know there's a huge majority of/.'ers that would love to see you do this show.
Space elevators are cool for places you need to send stuff up without blowing up where it came from, but in the case of uninhabitable venus.. Who cares??
Just attatch some nuke to the nearest large rock floating in space, calculate the direction it needs to go in to enter the planets gravity, and BAM! The explosion sends the rock careening towards Venus.
After the big mushroom cloud sends the microscopic sediment into the upper atmosphere, you could swoop it up in giant whale shaped spaceships (since the air density is greater, you need less wing area for atmospheric lift, it would look like a whale) for delivery and processing in an orbital space station.
Sort of like dynamite fishing on a planetary scale.
What, so you got dog shit on your hand! That's hardcore.
Well I had more than 1 run in with the guy in the past. I think I was soo pissed to see him beaming while his dog was crapping I just sort of lost all sense of reason at the moment.
It was worth the extra 5 minutes of shit on my hand to just watch the expression on his face. Priceless.
If the neighbor's dog craps in my lawn every day and no complain of mine gets the owner to react, that doesn't empowers me to make threatening phone calls to his house
I have a neighbor that purposefully lets his dog out to crap on the neighbors lawn. (he brags how the dog never shits in his own yard)
First time, I let it slide. Next few times I turned the hose on the dog, and warned the neighbor. One day I walked out to see the neighbor standing in front of my house, his dog squatted over my lawn dumping a big steamy turd where he wasn't supposed too. I finally lost my cool.
I walked up behind the dog, grabbed the turd before it even hit the ground and flung it across the street at the neighbors car. Before he even said a word I warned him I had pictures of his dog shitting on my lawn, without a leash, and dared him to call the cops on me. After an exchange of words he went back home to clean the shit off his winshield. Needless to say his dog has never been on my lawn since.
I think there is a moral to be learned here. Spammers no matter how much you beg them to get off their "penis enlargement" lists just won't do it. Maybe the solution isn't blacklisting, perhaps the solution is to just hit reply and send the shit back to them.
There was an article about microwave bombs earlier. Could a narrowband (laser type microwave) deliver power to a sattelite that far out? (The article mentions it's the power system failing)
China has developed a new compression system. With the licensing restrictions on mpeg and mp3(Geesh just look at what you gotta go through to watch DVD's under linux) this could lead to a new popular standard, just because it doesn't have the draconic licensing restrictions that mpeg and mp3 have.
It goes even deeper than just a disc, set top 802.11 video recievers, sattelite transmissions, with no licensing needed.
I think the producers of cheaters should start a new show.
BULLIES!!
Parents who have a kid that's being bullied can call up the shows producers. The producer then sends a private investigator with a video camera (and maybe a couple gorilla's in case things go bad) to follow the victum around school and after school with hidden video camera's.
Bully gets caught on tape. Shows producers go to bully's parents and say "Let us use this tape or we give it to the victums parents to SUE YOUR ASS FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT!! Bullies parent gladly signs away the rights to avoid civil and possible criminal court time. Bully get's publically humiliated on national TV.
Nothing takes a bully down quicker than public humiliation.
Sorry, but "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" doesn't hold true.
I agree with you %100 sir! Walking away doesn't stop the insults, now instead of insulting you to your face they will insult you behind your back until you're out of audio range (sometimes accompanied by the flying spitball or wadded up paper towel).
