Quantum computers have the same problem. Luckily there's such a thing as desktop black-hole data compression and Hawking radiation I/O. With "Ultimately Large Instruction Words" one could get rid of the central CPU clock altogether, which happens to be exactly what Einstein did.
DC-DC converters are often actually DC-AC-DC converters. They waste less electricity in terms of resistors. Otherwise you'd need three separate batteries: 12v, 5v, 3.3v.
Is SETI hogging all the best channels or wha ?
Yoo hoo. Psst. Over here.
'course they are.
You aren't allowed on those channels,
only the aliens are.
No, no, no. I'm not trying to start an
intergalactic war, but you biobags stole
Itchy and Scratchy from us !
That's right, we aliens content homesteaded
the Lascaux caves that wonderful summer
of 8000 B.C.
All those wonderful bloody drawings are under
galactic copyright protection.
Were also looking for one of our runaway
children, Lvis, have you seen him ?
You earthings owe us alot of back royalties
and our lawyers are converging on your
position at the is very moment.
And another thing kids, will you turn it down !
You can here it half way across the galaxy
There are no "ethical hackers" unless one
counts those "civilized injuns" who were
once a proud race of indigenous nature hackers, living in the wilderness of wires before two-tongues came with along their
four lane fiber optic highways, advertising billboards and pre-fab worldviews.
Them "civilized injuns" are now confined to "reservations", where they have alot of reservations about being confined to a
piece of land so small that it forces them
to reinstitute suicide, drunk driving,
poverty and pestilence as means of
population control; not counting the heart-breaking child sacrifices to the
great white TechNoGods and their powerful
magic.
There are the very few jedi hacker gurus,
who came to grips with the genocide of
their caste but rather than give in to the
dark side of the force, chose a different route.
But to call these, "ethical hackers" seems
to suggest that an adjective is needed for
a distinction to which hackers never
intrinsically attained.
Excerpts from Washington Post article on the
re-edjucashun and domesticashun of 2600 injun:
* Welcome, to the Machine-
Child Sacrifices to the Great White TechNoGod:
"Patrick thought 2600 would teach him how to hack. Instead, it taught him about job hunting, stock options and business plans."
* Injun Joe on the reservation a drunk, stoned, gambler: "Without 2600, Patrick says he would "probably be one of those pot-smoking, crack-sniffing guys who gave up on life a long time ago." "
* Civilized Injuns: "In many respects, the dot-com revolution of the past few years is responsible for the transformation."
It is often the case that dophins are caught
in tuna nets, gorillas in monkey traps, or
hackers in the wake of e-commerce...
Some of the less saavy brats though,
view themselves as third world
freedom fighters, trying to deflect the "imperialist dog American oppressor",
but they don't complain when being paid
on thursdays; still, given half a chance
they would waltz right into the board
rooms and usurp the corporate heads with
a long shiny scimatar.
Alas, there seem no union representatives of those
jedi gurus who usually work separately from
the rest on the principle that all wisedom bears
that lonely fate of "one hand clapping";
the sound a falling tree makes in the forrest
when no one is listening.
India and Indians
It may be that the Dune-like guilding of America will ironically make it look more and more like the India for which it was initially mistaken.
Castes, clear deliniations of function, purpose,
status in the name of efficiency to preserve
limited resources. 700+ computer languages to
insure privacy, sufficient obfuscation for
security. There is safety in numbers, and life
is oh so slow and bureaucratic in Babylon.

Very interesting, but I can't help wondering
if they're trying to do "top down" programming while "bottoms up" drunk.
Dis Semantics Web page on inference engines is suffering syntax.
There'll be alot of "You know what I mean, right ?", nose flicking, secret pig latin
codes, lipograms, monkeys-at-a-typewriter, Voynich
artwork, McLuhan collages, the
Beatle's song "I Am The Walrus",
or on the darker side, like Frankenstein's
monster; something that lived without
first consulting planned parenthood.
Memetic epidemics.
The RDF stuff is interesting.
Imagine though the problems with semantic
grammars.
In Britain and many of its colonies, they
drive on the left and sit on the right.
In Japan, Turkey etc. they use Lukasiewicz's
RPN form: (SOV) Subject-Object-Verb which
can be very tricky for "someone who drives
on the right side of the road" to get used
to. Alot of semantic accidents will happen.
Driving with diplomatic immunity.
Just give me a passport,a flu shot

Blair writes: When we finally get robots that can understand Asimov's Laws of Robotics, and we learn how to program them in, they won't be the altruistic platitudes the writer handed down to us. They're going to look more like this:

3. Fuck everyone else./

Analog vs. Digital
"In the real world, however, environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can cause the electrical properties of a micro-circuit's resistors and capacitors to vary by as much as 20%. Such discrepancies matter far less in digital circuits, which simply have to detect whether
an electrical current is more or less on or off. But such variations in analogue circuits can render them unusable. For instance, a cellular telephone will not work properly if its analogue filter allows the transmission frequency to vary by more than 1%."

Maybe we should keep our cell-phones in
temperature controlled humidors and
"smoke 'em" only when at peak freshness.
Saw a link awhile back on disposable paper cell-phone cards that come with pre-paid talk-miles on them. I guess you'll be able
to get them out of machines at truck stops
just like similar items like condoms, tampons or lottery tickets.
"Earthman, the planet you lived on was commissioned, paid for, and run by mice.
It was destroyed five minutes before the
completion of the purpose for which it
was built, and we've got to build
another one."
Hopfield and Brody held a "DIY" contest: The Mus silicium (sonoran desert sand mouse;) web page. Sort of like the old "guess what I'm thinking" magic acts or the old "send me your name and address for the Speedo Shammy cloth !"
"Yeah", said Ford, "they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor soul whom no one's ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their heads and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really." Ford leant back on the mattress with
his hands behind his head and looked infuriatingly pleased with himself.
"And get this: Evolution had left five
logic cells unconnected to the rest
of the circuit, in a position where
they should not have been able to
influence its workings. Yet if Thompson
disconnected them, the circuit failed.
Evidently the chip had evolved a way to
use the electromagnetic properties of
a signal in a nearby cell. But the fact
is that Thompson doesn't know how it works."
Not bad for a new-born.
After being taught gah-gah goo-goo,
it goes on to prove the computational

We'll have to keep an eye on this toddler;

human beings are as useless as egg-shells.
That didn't work, when they went around
asking for people's cooperation to have
all their professional experience bottled
and assimilated into some high-level
haiku database.
So this time they're really getting into it.
