Maybe now I can leave bluetooth active on my cellphone 24/7 and not wake up with a dead battery. Although, people can hack into phones now with bluetooth and steal/change your address book. Scary.
There must have been some heavy thought process that went into this decision. Google has a lot of power with its choices anymore, and by supporting these endeavors is almost like guarantee its success.
Now if only I can get my new website to be at the top of a search...
Speaking of which, if you guys are into stocks or day trading, check it out. GroupShares.com All content is free of course.
If droids can replace mundane human tasks on space missions, then Nasa is doing very well to spend their money on these things. Just think of it as a droid automating the stupid tasks of checking environmental controls, or outside activity. pretty cool.
I am an active day trader/swing trader and I have never even touched SCO's stock. The logic behind their decisions seems to baffle me, and I have not seen any valuation in my eyes. Maybe this will shock their investors into providing some insight into where SCO needs to be.
Also, speaking of stocks, I run my own Day Trading/Swing Trading website journal. Everything is free, so check out GroupShares.com. Thanks, Aj
Animals have the ability to continously procreate until all resources are consumed, however, most don't. There is a type of population control that exists for most species, and even though humans have continously gained in population, we have only done so because of our knowledge to fending off population control diseases/disasters/etc.
Would machines follow this same type or universal standard of population control or would they just envelope every item they could?
Who knows, not me.
Anyway, stupid plug for a new website im working on, GroupShares.com. If you are into the stock market and want to see a live journal, etc, then check it out. Of course everything is free.
75% of my day is surrounded by WiFi access, however, that access is not always free (Tmobile, Leap Auth., Hotel services). I think that the problem with VOIP via WiFi is just that - not all WiFi is free. If we had free WiFi everywhere, then carrying a small VOIP would be cost effective, but would I throw away my cell phone? No. What if I broke-down on the side of the road? VOIP WiFi has no regard for those "emergency" situations. However, I would definitely get rid of my current VOIP "land line" and buy a WiFi model that I could take with me instead.
On another note, Im trying to get some users to a new website I created. It is basically my "day trading" stock journal online. Everything is free of course, so if you like stocks, I recommend taking a look. GroupShares.com.
I think patents in the U.S. slow down the product development process to some extent. By slowing down the process, Open Source competition can grow, and allow for software "alternatives" to arrive on the market first. The other problem with software, which is stated in the article, is that most new software is based off of previous software and this can lead to stunted growth of otherwise good applications.
Also, the fact that patents cost money can lead some software projects to open source licensing directly in order to ensure protection. I see this as good for the open source community, but bad for the software industry. Although, maybe I am misunderstanding the article.
On a side note, if you like the stock market/day trading/momentum trading/swing trading, I have built a website which showcases my paper trades. Everything is free of course, so please check it out - GroupShares.com
I am a hardcore Mac user back from the old days, but I gave up on Apple for a few years. OS Lineage for me: Mac->Win3.1->Win98->Debian->Debian->XP->OSX. However, my mac is not perfect and some mundane CPU intensive tasks such as Stock Streamers, just run better on XP. Recently, I got the sasser virus on my XP laptop before I knew what it was, and then, I did a clean install. Because of work (Oracle Programming and Stock Stuff), I am still forced to use windows, but at home, my windows laptop is never even touched.
On the other hand, if you look at Microsoft Software as a whole, there are some great applications. I absolutely love the new office for OSX, and microsoft Project for windows has virtually no competition - even from Oracle. Truly, XP has come a long way from the 98SE crash fest, but the fact that Microsoft leaves the systems wide open is never good.
Im not an M$ fan, but you have to admit, that if they get their act together, we could be in for some trouble. Even from my OSX world.
On a side note, I want to plug a new site that I just made live. If you are interested in Day trading or the stock market check it out: Group Shares.com.
The article does not deal with actually computing the encoding (Pe) and decoding functions (Pd) for q,n,d. Where q,n are unique primes. The only thing their interference spotted is the markings between computing each function for the signature, and this drastically varies based on the machine. They do have a Proof of Conept, but no quantifiable data. My $0.02.
The first thing that pops into my head is long term power - similar to the premise of Star Trek's "Dilythium Crystals." The amount of power in such a tiny size could be used for many useful applications especially in regards to space travel/exploration. If only everyone didn't think about using this immense power to kill each other, we might progress as a society. Oh well.
Based on that assumption, if they do have 100k servers and if those servers were each 1ghz wouldnt they be bigger than any supercomputer in terms of pure performance? 100k Ghz vs. VA Tech's 4400 Ghz. Or am I completely wrong?
Since I am a mac user, I need to rely on virtual PC in order to accomplish those little tasks that I need windows for (Specifically Minitab/Maple - dont have OSX Copies of either). Well, 2k/Xp/2k3 are very slow in Virtual PC, but Win98SE seems to run well, however there was no support for my 2gigs of Ram and I could only give it 512. Well, now it looks like I can give it a full gig like i do 2000/Xp with this patch!
I just wish that the emulation programeslike VMWare/VirtualPC could 100% emulate the environments. Using Virtual PC on OS X is amazingly useful. I'd rather run windows on top of Linux if I needed to use windows, but I would need 100% capability for games and such. Maybe when we have immediate booting ability we can have both OSes loaded into memory at once??
I am seeing problems when clicking movies that usually opened in quicktime. However, I can open quicktime fine without doube clicking on a movie first. Is this caused by the update?
As an audiophile myself, I cannot understand the logic behind this. I have competed in IIASCA sound competitions and had 8 10" JL subs in a custom box to produce nearly the same efficiency of their setup! However, having nearly 6000 Watts is damn impressive, but I can get 3 JL Audio 13-W7's and 3 JL audio 1000x1 and bridge them to 2 ohm for 6000 watts as well!
My question has to deal with personal blogs in which one comments about the stock market. I think it is okay if i say something like "based on this person leaving the company I think the stock will go down." However, I think it would be illegal to say something like, "you should all go by stock XXX because this person left the company."
I think you're right about this type of technology. I am hoping we see some sort of new storage media within the next 10 years and not the same type of laser onto Cd type of recording that we are all used to. Hopefully, 10 years from now ill be able to keep everything I could ever want on my cell phone and just plug that into a station to do work.
No not yet, he has just started actually. He is waiting for the new G5's to come out before he purchases one for the sole purpose of this game development, but hopefully when he has some type of website up it will get slashdotted!
Hasnt this been tried many times like with the original NetZero where you had ads displayed while you got free internet? At least we should be able to find a way around it.
I have to agree with this post. I switched to OS X about a year ago and I have never been aflicted by these worms/email virii. However, I do get about 1200 junk emails/day between 4 accounts, and thankfully apple's Mail client has great junk mail filtering, but i cannot help to wonder how many valid emails I miss each day because of all of this nonsense.
I understand people have a dislike for windows/M$ and Gates, etc. But, all of this is just ridiculous and getting out of hand. There is no point in making these viruses anymore and it is a waste of money for everyone (kind of like the war on terrorism).
God, this is awesome. I would love to use it while playing golf for when I hit those chips that just roll in. Also could provide for some great TV clips. Im sure privacy would get brought into this debate as well and it could help crime situations.
Hopefully, contests like this will influence the random programmer to start developing something useful. Look at that trailblazer app that recently was cited on slashdot. Definitely awesome! A friend of mine is working on a 2d RPG similar to the old secret of mana games. He is designing it for Mac. We need more of this!

But, then I cant go "toothing" in Britain (as someone mentioned above).

Yes, but if your program is good enough to be squished by corporate lawyers, you know a job offer will await you somewhere in the world :).
