The judge threw out 54 of the infringement claims, leaving only 3, and this is before Infineon even states it case that rambus abused the standards body by withholding information, or abused the US patent office by withholding the prior art that it knew of, or by presenting to the patent office as its own, the knowledge gained by its involvement in the JEDEC standards body. We can expect to see the other 3 claims thrown out as well, and I hope, court costs refunded to Infinion, and punative damages levied against Rambus as well.
This experiment confirms the results of previous experiements carried out in ground observations, balloons, high altitude aircraft, and the COBE satellite experiment. It is one of the most carefully verified, and NEVER reputed pieces of research ever done. The initial work was done by a team led by George Smoot. There is now more than 30 years of experimental data that all point at the same answer. No, this is not "just another experiment with questionable results".
sane pointer manipulation,
useful data types,
simple data type conversions,
integrated structs and unions
the ability to easily redefine a block of memory as some other datatype.
recursive functions, (yes, I know it is evil, but often useful).
awww crud. just cut to the chase and give me a telepathic compiler.
This is surely a compromise drawn from the goodwill of the group. It is obvious from the language of the original license they were under no obligation to do so. I personally think it is a good thing to show such goodwill to those who have contributed to our effort, even when they get grumpy about things not turning out as they had envisioned. For my part, and on my machine, I will simply ln -s secsh ssh
In our legal system, where a person may be sued for any reason whatsoever, You have no hope of winning unless you can outspend your opponents.
Otherwise, under a mountain of motions, you will simply lose by default.

I once came up with a thought experiment directed at optical storage. If I were to take my rusty trusty ronco flashlight, point it at the sky, and in morse code, flash out "hello world", my message is in fact stored. To retrieve it, I merely have to determine how far it has traveled, and go stand in front of it. simple enough if placed in a loop.
All that remains is a method of refreshing the signal. To this end, I thought of taking a gas laser, pumped to just a few photons below the point it will lase, and use it as the terminator of the loop. In this way, it gets a refresh on each loop, Very much the way the old core memory worked.
What is the purpose of this diatribe? Optical processors need optical storage.

The Kanchanaburi area, famous for sapphire and ruby deposits, has been dug up and overturned, and searched in great detail for a very long time. This includes every cave, nook, and crannie. They have been searched even more thoroughly since the existing deposits ran out in the early 90's. I have serious doubts about trainloads of gold in that area. Also, my experience with watching Thai politicians, says the truth is 180 degrees from what they say publicly. for example, in the weeks preceeding the devaluing of the baht, the prime minister publicly proclaimed there would be no devaluing of the baht, and made this claim daily on national TV, right up to the day the devaluation occurred.
yes, i read the article. yes i understand "science". Yes, i have used ocean modelling software. Yes, i am well aware they ignored all prior history. that was exactly my point. a model is only as good as the baseline, and they chose one that gave "dramatic" results. pseudoscience at best...
This document seems to suggest that the trend observed over the past 50 years, is a change
from the previous 4 billion years. To use 50 years of data in such a way is irrational and irresponsible. To quote another:
In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average
of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oölitic Siluian Period, just
a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upward of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over
the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower
Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together, and be plodding
comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesome
returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
The two biggest problems I see with this type of technology are data verification prior to input, and undesirable mutations. You would need several preprocessors just to keep it from frying its little brain on statements like "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a bananna.". I also recall, from somewhere in this swamp I call a brain, that in evolutionary practice, for every desirable mutation, there are tens or hundreds of millions of undesirable ones. This does not bode well for the future of this technology, or for the lifetime of your expensive new hardware.

Without regard to what the media and society may say, you/we are 100% responsible for every act we perform in our lives. It makes no difference that your parewnts were bad to you when you were a child. It makes no difference that "It wasnt fair". At some point, the responsibility became yours to decide how YOU would respond to the situation, and if you chose to respond via a criminal act, then you chose to be a criminal and should recieve the punishment accorded anyone else for the same act. There is NO acceptable method for handing off your responsibility for your own actions, and people who attempt to do so, (as children are so apt to do), should recieve the same punative punishment (on top of the punishment for their crimes) as we give our children for attempting it. It was a 2 year sentence, but you just made it a 5 year sentence, or in capital cases, 90 days in the electric chair...
Actually, that is significantly less than a dino brain. If you were to assume that a dino brain was capable of processing 1/100 of 1% of what we humans are, and this is reasonable... Humans have on the order of 10^15 dendritic connections in their brains, a p3 has somewhere in the 10^7 range, connections. 10^15 *.0001 = 10^11 or 4 orders of magnitude higher than a P3. I have met plenty of people who I suspect were not 10,000 times smarter than a dino.
How about a "ignore all future posts from this person" link at the end of each post? It would make the browsing experience so much more pleasant, and trolls like these two could be among the first to be never seen/heard from again.
