Decoding the letters is a red herring. After all it could be a one time pad.
The painting shows someone touching the stone - trace your hand or finger over the stone in the pattern of the spelled letters to open a secret hideaway.
Cameras are everywhere. Anyone doing something wrong doesn't even bother to think that someone may be watching. Do they have some feeling that they can just get away with it?
If all the people in the United States worked continuously like galley slaves, they could barely equal the power output of even a single city power plant
I also learned about the transfer by radiation and black bodies. Even if the sun was surrounded by nothing to sun would still lose energy by emitting photons.
I suppose that with RFID credit cards you really don't have to even pull the card out of your pocket. Winona Ryder should get one As soon as she walks of the store everything is paid for
To a small mill uses its research within the company if the small mill invented something that duplicates what the large mill invented how would the large mill know what the small mill did?
Inventions for products sold to the public benefit the most from patents. If software sold to the public and contains innovative ideas patents would make sense
Right now the software industry is struggling to find the next killer app
What do you know Dragon NaturallySpeaking actually understood that statement sheesh
The preceding was okay with Dragon NaturallySpeaking too
The logic is: no killer app means no real new patents
I don't know if anyone can claim to have invented really basic algorithms like quicksort. I have no trouble with new patents for complex inventions.
If people are inventing really nice new algorithms that would be a good thing not a bad thing. Patents are good omens
Pizza is okay but I don't like it cold. Once pizza comes out of the oven I can have a few hot slices but it invariably cools down before I can finish it now imagine what would happen if it was delivered it might be really cold by the time it gets there
What we really need is an automatic pizza maker to make pizza from the command line
Most of the time Dragon NaturallySpeaking was able to get it right there were a few corrections here and there nothing serious
Is a good feeling to hear of people building their own engines it's about time to all of us attempt to go farther in faster then will build a day ambition to go into space
By the way I love commenting on slashed by with my Dragon NaturallySpeaking dispelling is an average and I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying he was not what I said that was not what I said but that was what I said to buy bye-bye goodbye bye-bye goodbye so long sea later sea later I'll see you later there that's better
Is it proper to blame businesses for not generating jobs? Yes and no.
Businesses are driven by consumers but businesses are also consumers. We have arrived into the new millenium, an era of technology doing so much work that people don't have as much to do. Homes are filled with gadgets. Prices have fallen while user fees are being jacked up surreptitiously. Are we going to see a lot of splurging?
The trouble is the culture of having a career and enjoying life once in a while. This culture stifles imagination! It doesn't help one bit that people tried to turn imagination into greed with flashy websites that generated very little revenue; such was the dot com bubble, which created a lot of bandwidth noise and a lot of false hopes of personal gain. The result is that many people may have lost faith in their own creativity.
Now that we have all kinds of automation marvels it's time for big business to really invest in major goals. I applaud IBM for a long history of initiatives.
What about a concerted effort by big business to send colonies of robots to the moon or Mars? It's quite risky - some companies could be formed and fund themselves with public offerings I suppose. There's so much talk of voting for the sake of jobs - new companies with a lot of public sentiment and laudable goals will let people vote with their dollars. It's time people took matters into their own hands rather than letting politicians set the course - that's what all our technology has prepared us for.
Outsourcing is obviously reasonable and natural. Otherwise we would have crazy inflation while other countries use outsourcing to take the lead, or else starving third world in even worse crisis.
What no one talks about is new knowledge, which has been the real source of economic prosperity. All this outsourcing these days might not be really producing knowledge at a higher rate. If the knowledge is gained then let it be spread around the world. We need real ambition by business leaders.
As a programmer's experience grows, the specifications at the highest level are typically user driven while at the lower function and subroutine level the specifications arise from experience of optimal and flexible interfacing.
There is a plateau of user-visible features that are naturally expected and are implemented as fully as possible. Then there are smart features that are implemented as far as budgets allow.
What may be helpful is a document that outlines various levels of features at the user-visible level so that a measure of software feature richness can be made. Aside from this I don't support taking enormous amounts of time to thrash out specifications before coding. Software should evolve from experience gained through usage, and features should be anticipated in new systems based on feature additions made in past projects.
Software development has really advanced away from specifications due to the speed of computers. Developers don't have to sit around as much waiting for strange states to occur, and as a result can learn programming much quicker by implementing more features and debugging more bugs per unit time.
This is the age of technology. We are not supposed to be stressed out. Our jobs are supposed to bring us the gratitude of our employers and untold wealth.
So what is the problem? Overpopulation? Energy crisis? Political and bureaucratic evil? Loss of jobs to automation? Lack of ambition?
If your job isn't getting you what you want, use your own time to achieve something. Some people have a lot of obstacles. Stephen Hawking has the will to keep working - there's an example. Don't let up.
What should American IT workers be doing to differentiate ourselves from our overseas counterparts, to add the kinds of value for employers that will make them want to look beyond direct costs and see other benefits that will make it worthwhile for them to keep these jobs in the US?
Americans have one of the greatest education and industrial combinations known to history. Who else has gone to the moon? Who else has nuked anyone?
IT people have to demonstrate the power of computers by achieving greater profit margins and reducing the amount of manual effort required of everyone to earn the same amount. People should be able to retire at 50, but so many people are worried that they have to work until 80. People should only have to work 30 hours per week.
Why aren't people able to telecommute to the point where traffic isn't a problem? Why can't someone run a robot from home? A lot of people go to school to sit in front of a chalkboard - these people can learn from home.
Computers have come a long way but they have to start doing more things for us automatically.
It's also a question of ambition. If you want to understand advanced literature knowledge of advanced science and math are really helpful. It's hard to pick up advanced knowledge in every subject but it shouldn't be as hard as it is right now.
Many students go to school with the primary goal of graduating rather than learning. That means knowing what is necessary to pass exams. That means focusing on the information being trickled unpredictably one school day at a time instead of following a plan that is explained at the beginning. A plan allows a person to move ahead at a very high pace because the goal is well defined. Learning just to pass an unknown exam slows down learning because one is forced to memorize at times instead of understanding.
Let's face it, a lot of people discover at a young age that school is irritating and generally quite stupid, yet they feel too stupid themselves to learn in an alternative way. Most people want to learn, but have little idea how, and often lack the proper resources to.
Learning is hard work. People generally don't put enough energy into exploring possibilities. We need a culture that points out the need to think thoroughly and deeply in spite of the factorial sized information space.
I've learned tremendously from books but I hate the way a lot of advanced practical books are written. The authors of many of these books try so hard to hide details, use bad grammar, or make amazing leaps either in direction or logic. This may be the publishers' fault so they can sell more books, such as so-called beginners and advanced books. I realize many authors cannot afford big budgets, but couldn't they write within a narrower scope and concentrate more about presentation?
Let's hope the Internet forces book quality to go way up.
A lot of people can learn by themselves, but books can't seem to answer some of the most easy questions yet there are answers on many web forums.
I've read some textbooks that are so amazingly vivid - that's what I want. I don't want authors to try to sound conversational, where they use the same pronoun to refer to three things in one paragraph with no particular pattern. I don't want authors to try to sound smart by selectively chaining a small subset of complex ideas at random while leaving gaps. I don't want bizarre symbols lacking definition. I don't want usage of personal pseudocode without definition.
Some people write books for the sake of being able to sell a few copies in a hot market. They'll just write anything that looks smart and charge a lot of money. That really sucks. It wastes time for a lot of people.

do you need to go if you want to water a forest, which is not large compared to the flight range of a 747?
Then again, in a flight simulator I've flown the 747 straight up so you could approach the burn and then climb hard while dropping the water.
What effect does this kind of dump do to the aerodynamics?

Fusion is what we really want for high power. How far are we now?
That's armed robbery
Does anyone know how a drill can be used to open a lock?
Furthermore: do not use breasts as a vise
Cameras are everywhere. Anyone doing something wrong doesn't even bother to think that someone may be watching. Do they have some feeling that they can just get away with it?
How about this (page 4):
If all the people in the United States worked continuously like galley slaves, they could barely equal the power output of even a single city power plant
I also learned about the transfer by radiation and black bodies. Even if the sun was surrounded by nothing to sun would still lose energy by emitting photons.
after watching videos I don't think there is much time to respond to a missile attack You need laser defenses all around the perimeter
Even after a missile is struck it might just carry on in several pieces and still do a lot of damage
Keep out of jail device

The problem of holding the card correctly can be eliminated by making the card a sphere.

Occasionally I enjoy playing games while I'm on the go. That's what cellphones are for
It wasn't easy to spell all that with Dragon NaturallySpeaking I had to make a few corrections
At first I thought it was shot down after it was launched
