that it was the saucer section from the Enterprise J, that had crashed after time traveling into the past to kill grampa Berman before he could procreate. Of course nothing was ever found because the Division 6 of the Department of Temporal Correctness sent a clean-up crew. I've known this for years. How come nobody ever listens to me?
It's similar only in the respect of using a GA. They difference here and the point is supposed to make *this* GA unique is that it isn't making fitness checks on an external object. It's checking itself for fitness, supposedly to increase its own abilities. The apparent goal being to end up with a "super" GA.

A $1000 from every developer for _bandwidth_? I accept the possibility of this, but I think the cost of manning a help desk to cover tech support requests is a more likey source of these costs. And I maintain the position that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Putting an ounce effort into making a better product results in dropping a pound of tech support. Unfortunately when the goal is greed and not pride in one's work, there is no incentive for putting in that extra effort.
For starters, this is the ".NET My Services" service, it is NOT the.NET platform itself, nor is it an SDK. People are free to write.NET applications for NOTHING and all the SDK is online at msdn.microsoft.com
This is the point I wanted to comment on. In the article Muglia says, "The applications are putting a load on us. These numbers are barely covering (our costs)...We're not making money with these numbers."
It seems to me that if.NET is such a burden to support, perhaps they should have made it more intuitive, dev-freindly, and included better documentation. Instead they put out a crap product and expect the user to pay for the extra help they need to actually get anything out of it. Gee, where have we seen this before. Oh yeah, practically every app MS spews out. Except now it seems they're getting more confidant with the grip they have on our collective balls.
Not to mention that when you go "OU, OU, OU" and your neighbor goes "EE, EE, EE", both computers execute both commands. And then you've got the company clown who walks down the aisle going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".
It then offered to sing a song and refused to open the pod bay doors, behavioural traits that experts predict will be exhibited by most AI programs from now until the heat death of the universe.
Don't forget that the image is actually a visual representation of extremely complex data. Those "little red dots" are just the result of reducing the usefulness of the information to create something pretty to look at. The signifigant parts of the image are picked out by computer algorithms specifically designed to pick out the signifigant parts. Eyeballing it just doesn't cut it.
Don't forget Ogg, the inventor of Fire(TM). I think he's to blame for all our problems. Seriously, this ranks in my top 10 list of the dumbest things of all time. There isn't an invention invented that can't be used to inflict death, pain, sorrow, or discomfort. The inventor cannot be held responsible for how his creation is used by others. Period.
From the article: "Imagine 50,000 of the latest personal computers working in unison on one program and you have an idea of the Earth Simulator's power.
Your right and your wrong. Yes kids get apathetic, and they have to choice to not be. I've seen great kids come out of the worst homes. The choice is still theirs to make. But what is the environment that leads them down that path in the first place? Most kids are psycologically(sp) formed early in thier lives, before schooling starts, and its their parents that do the forming. Not friends, not teachers. Parents.
IANAL but I believe that the fact that it is a case of copyright infringement infers that it is alleged. If its still in court, the charge still has to be proven. It if is, the alledged infringer becomes a convicted infringer.
You are absolutley correct. Except you can't stop there. Even with a perfect identification system, simply identifying the IP doesn't prove anything. There is still a difference between identification and guilt. Just because you (think) the machine an alleged "crime" has been commited from has been identified, doesn't mean the person with his name on it is the criminal.
To put it another way, if my car was identified as the get-away vehicle of a bank robbery, that doesn't prove my guilt of robbing the bank. That is a separate process. I might be guilty, but you better prove it before taking action on it.
Except the ISP wasn't "doing what they thought was right". They were doing it because "under the provisions of the DMCA, an ISP does indeed have to take action immediately when it is told about a case of copyright infringement". This doesn't make it right. It makes it even worse. If the ISP's buckle under, what chance do the rest of us have?
It's decent anology, but there's one point you forgot. The middle car (Qwest) could have protected the front car if they had been compentent drivers by keeping a foot on the brake. They didn't and apparently were catching a quick snooze at the time as well. They are as responsible for the front car's damage as the rear car. (No I don't really believe a foot on the brake can stop a car accident. Its an anology. Deal with it.)
I thought this was pretty funny too, but that's because I just read the exact same post on the The/. troll HOWTO. Heh. The best way to kill a troll is to shine light on it.

That's wonderful, Brain! Then we can open that little frozen yogurt stand out on Long Island that we always wanted! Zort!

Modded down as flamebait. My first time! I feel like a real /.er now. :)

How do we mod up the author of the article?
While you're at it, just grow a pair of extra arms. That way you can use the side controllers and type at the same time.
BTW nice home page, but you've gotta plant the T-Chia so we can watch it grow.
ROTFLMAO!!
And I just ran out of mod points!
So your saying that under "Hair color" there should be separet choices for "Bald" and "None"?

99% of the lawyers out there give the rest a bad name.
Heh. I always spelled it "photi". Must be one of those 80 dialects. :)
