  1. Even easier if... on Undercover Hacking, For Money · · Score: 1

    the company in question depended on contractors, then there are no regular employees as such...

    Theyre used to seeing new faces often and may think nothing of another new face.

    Just dont pretend to be the CEO or Chief Software Architect or anything ;D

  2. Whatever happened to... on Undercover Hacking, For Money · · Score: 1

    ye olde art of Dumpster diving ;D

  3. All that is needed... on Undercover Hacking, For Money · · Score: 1

    Is to look like you belong in the place and your in. And if you are lucky you can get on theyre payroll and get yourself a job ;D

  4. and.. on Teragrid: Massive Grid Computing · · Score: 1

    in a few years my wristwatch will be more powerfull ;D

  5. Yeah but... on Teragrid: Massive Grid Computing · · Score: 1

    Can it run Tribes 2?

  6. Notice the silence on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    I cant but help notice the lack of trolls, flames etc in this topic as I guess most idiots are out on this Saturday night getting piss blind drunk :)
    And as for the rest of us nerds, we are sitting in here reading slashdot (news for nerds) :D

  7. Re:GA Archive on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Yeah, i got it to work but felt strange browsing over FTP ;D

  8. Re:Genetic Programming on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    And whats that in English? :)

  9. Re:Already been done! on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Warning: PostgresSQL query failed: ERROR: id_in: 3ba7 eadc-03cdf340 not in id format in /home/segfault/htdocs/story.phtml on line 30

    Oops

  10. Re:GA Archive on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Strange URL, ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/doc/EC/Welcome.htm l

    Browsing over FTP?

  11. Re:Real world examples of application of GP on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Yeah telling it what to do and now how to do it. Sure, but in machine code? Surely its easier to tell it what to do in a higher level language.

  12. Re:Real world examples of application of GP on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Maybe so but I want to code at the high level (concentrating on the algorithms) and not have to worry about memory management etc which is where most of the source for bugs in software are.

  13. Reflection on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Is it possible to code self modifying code in C# using Reflection?

    C# is at a very high level and thus can focus more on algorithms rather than the nitty gritty of memory management (like Java).

  14. Re:Real world examples of application of GP on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    As a software engineer, where could I apply these concepts within the real world of software design and testing of our own code?

    Test harness scenario: Using self improving algorithms to get code coverage for hitting all possible error paths and positive code paths?

    It is nice having all this in theory, but where can I use them today?

  15. Real world examples of application of GP on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Does anybody have references to Real World examples of GP being applied and the results, also in real world languages rather than academic languages, ie., C#, C++, Java as opposed to SML, Lisp, Prolog etc?

  16. Real time games on Making Strategy Games with...Strategy? · · Score: 1

    What about a game that runs in Real Life time, ie., it keeps on going even when you arnt there.

    So the next time you rejoin that game, time would have progressed, technology would have progressed etc.

  17. Re:Code on NASA Releases Classic Software To Public Domain · · Score: 1

    Come to think of CMM Level 5. How could they be at CMM level 5 when they mix up meters and feet or other conversions?

  18. Code on NASA Releases Classic Software To Public Domain · · Score: 1

    So, when are the NSA going to release theyre code :)

    Is the NASA code stuff that went throught the CMM level 5 process?

  19. Re:Imagine a .... on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 1

    That would be called a Convoy not a Beowulf :D

  20. Re:Heat Problems on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just hook it up to the car radiator :D
    The ultimate in liquid cooling for AMD's ;D

  21. Incase of emergency on More Details Emerge on AMD's Hammer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Break case

  22. Fire on More Details Emerge on AMD's Hammer · · Score: 1

    And comming soon to a home insurance contract near you.

    An AMD clause "If AMD CPUs are within the perimiter of the house, you arnt insured (Act of God?) ;D

  23. Yes on ATI Drivers Geared For Quake 3? · · Score: 1

    I think it is acceptable BUT only if they make it known or different builds for different optimisations. Or have a build that can optimise for specific jobs at runtime.

  24. Licenses on "Lindows" Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    Well thats one way to beat the MS licenses :D

  25. Its too late for any action on Groups Push FTC to Act on MS XP, Passport · · Score: 1

    XP is already out of the gate.

    If they want to take on the other .NET servers, they had better start now (or maybe its too late for that aswell)
