since having your signal only travel 0.1 mm per clock pulse makes it rather hard to get the data around...
There's still plenty of fixed-function hardware around (wlan chipsets, even though they're somewhat programmable)
for which this might not be a major issue.
KDE and Gnome are still comparable

So it's basically a distributed, but private dropbox thingie, sounds nice.
Is there any open-source that does a similar thing ? (as in: works on linux and android, and is fairly lightweight)
Owncloud is the closest I could find, but it requires a central server, I think.
... yet somehow, when genetic engineering is involved, the same basic facts of population genetics are suddenly terrible and proof that the technique itself is bad
A noticeable difference is that by cross-breeding the changes are slow (minor per generation), whereas by GM they can be huge (glowing mice). When some scientist has a bad morning, and releases his latest frankenstein into the wild, we could be majorly **-ed.
So natural selection acts as a fail-safe against one mistake.
Possibly true, but as long as it doesn't need a network connection *ever*, I'll try to live with that.
Otherwise it, and a steaming pile of shit will be shipped to Sony.
The PS3 had full ps2 emulation and linux, they stripped that out on subsequent versions. Even now, the latest games don't play
without the latest OS updates. So expect a very small set of working games if you aren't prepared to update.
Also, the torrent protocol offers parts of the solution: everyone stores a small part of the addresses. Which part to store is determined
by the unique 128-bit number you've chosen. So even if everyone just knows how to get a little bit closer to the data/address you're looking for, that's good enough. A few query/response iterations should give you what you're looking for.
As it is now, I won't touch C++ for new development. ASNI C for system/metal work or anything that needs high performance and Python for most of everything else. GUI work depends on the platform - Visual C# rocks for Windows dev!!
I've seen how that goes. There is a large amount of code on top of the system/metal work that needs to be highly efficient. Due to the sometimes
complex nature of the problems, a high-level language with access to low-level stuff for the hot-spots is required. C++ is lonely at the top in that regard. Python is awesome for glue-ing stuff together, but try to do too much in it, and the result will be horribly slow
In my day we would use a couple of IIR filters, instead of FFT's.
Much faster, better control over bandwidth. But, hey, then you'd
actually have to do some math to design them....
Waze seems nice, the big difference with OSM is that the OSM maps are fully and freely available.
With waze, the actual map-data is company owned.
I'd rather put effort in improving an open dataset than a company owned one.
It would be so nice if they added OpenMp support.
It's an awesome compiler, but due to lackin OpenMp currently not
so suitable for cross-platoform number-crunching.
The point about FM is clear.
Digital modulation, however, can easily beat AM modulation, if properly designed.
GPS satelittes all transmit on the same frequency, it's the digital (de)modulation that
makes it possible to receive *all* of them.
And I still do not understand how Microsoft get to control this.
They talk directly to manufacturers, since windows is still installed by default.
So the swing they have on the whole laptop market just became a bit more visible, it's
always been there, however.
You'll also need transportation to and from a grocery store which could be substantially farther away than McDonald's
There must be some sort of culture clash going on here. In Europe, cycling to the grocery store is convenient, vegetables and meat at the saturday market is cheap and of decent quality. Second-hand stores have cheap (and old, but working) pots and stoves. Only the homeless couldn't afford it.
1984 covers an all-watching government. I responded to a comment about "reflexive 'defend my privacy' stance on slashdot".
1984 explains that stance quite well. This articale is about an all-watching disneyland. That's not the same as an all-watching
government, but really guys, don't take literature literally and a 1:1 resemblance is not required to explain why people don't like the idea of being tracked.

Although Qt is going strong, KDE and gnome seem both to be in a downwards trend..

Ah well, the higher abstraction level that C++ offers, does make sense for a UI framework.

I was always wondering how you achieve routing and addressing in a completely adhoc network. Any idea?
I wouldn't have a clue, but other people do, luckily: http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/

IMO, they shouldn't have group projects in college classes at all, because they always wind up like this.
Or they keep them just because you learn something else; that it'll be like that in your future job.
All you need is curiosity and common sense.
And a proper grasp of statistics, to separate coincidence from significant correlation. The PhD does help in that department.

Ahhh, pushed a wrong moderation button. Need to post to undo it.

no, they are 1.
Brazil mainly used sugar beets, I believe. In any case not corn. Corn is, as others mentioned, far from the best choice for producing ethanol

The only problem is rainbow tables That's what salt is for
In other news:
Non-Transmitting Aliens Detected In Kepler SETI Search were detected, but hey, that was not the goal of the project.

There is a substantial upfront cost of buying the equipment and infrastructure to turn ingredients into food
Ah, come on. Ah stove and some knives aren't that expensive and last for years. In the US it's the fruits and vegetables that are expensive.
The butter project was about latency with user interaction. The issues talks about /dev/random, which is totally unrelated.

Read 1984, by George Orwell. That gives a hint.
Or it's going up like it's on a stairway to heaven!
