I worked for Trimble a couple of years ago, and they had essentially autonomous tractors using a system called AutoSteer. Using kinematic differential GPS, accuracy is down to 1cm.
Construction equipment has 2 or 3 of these systems so slope can be maintained.
OpenGL 2.0 will doubtfully ever take a major stake of the market, since DirectX/Wintel clusters are marketed as "cheaper." There's a giant rendering farm at LLNL that is all DirectX, mainly because of the lack of availability of Linux/Unix Nvidia stereoscopic rendering drivers. They've been sitting on them for a while, but as you know, Nvidia is in bed w/ micro$oft (Xbox). It sucks when a great os such as Linux can't get decent drivers. Shame on you Nvidia!
My school's CIPIC lab has a immersive workbench, but requires proprietary OpenGL hooks for syncing w/ the shutter glasses.
It would cost mucho dinero to upgrade all the infrastructure to support it. But, IPv4 and IPv6 can coexist. The prob is that 50% of lan equipment isn't upgradable. Telcos wont want to float the bill, they'll pass the buck to you.
Woot, most common excuse for downtime.... "upgrading."
Bringing you the freshest iso's since we changed our name from "SoftWarehouse."
I worked in the past for that lame (now extinct) company formerly known as Egghead. What a crock of crap that place was. A hole-in-the-wall strip mall store that sold krap at ridiculous prices. But it was cool though, you could "try" out any piece of software you want and get discounts. A dirty-little secret: they re-shrank opened and returned products. No wonder they went out of business.
Still, I wonder how in the world is Software, Etc. still in operation? Prices > all, stores == suck.
BestBuy, don't get me started....
It's all about the buy.com price mistake of the day, hehe.
UCITA for one, DMCA, maybe SSSCA. Read the DMCA, it applies to more than music. Case in point: Dimitry, held in prison for giving a seminar at DEFCON and coding done in Russia for a US company!!! The laws maybe annoying and dumb, but they are laws that are being enforced right now.
What about ridiculous software patents? Those are being "legally" enforced left and right; whole companies are based on IP-squatting.
As long as Linus keeps multimedia and extraneous "features" out of the kernel. As in Operating Systems Design and Implementation by Tanebaum, the author of Minix, I tend to think that compartmentalization is safer from a system security and integrity POV, but hardware threads are nice. The only things that should reside in kernel-space are drivers and system functionality. I can't even see justifying IP stacks in the kernel since that could run on top of the ethernet or whatever is underneath because a layered approach can install/remove/restart parts of the system w/o killing the whole thing. Btw, MINIX starts in less than 1 sec from a HD on a 486. And pretty darn stable too, except for the lack of preemptable kernel processes. I suggest running it on Bochs.
Multimedia codecs should remain where they should be, in libraries.
The software industry heavly-lobbied for legislation (and got it, of course) that basically makes its products legally without warranty.
In my opinion, buggy software is a result of "time-to-market" hype that results from managerial/marketing pressure and insufficient, undermanned, undertrained people coding away and reinventing the wheel every chance, while making YAWOD (Yet Another Wrapper Or Driver) because they don't understand something (as typical w/ micro$oft coding). What is ActiveX called now? Wasn't it DCOM... wait... COM... wait... OLE? Wasn't it DDE/DDX? More marketing terms == more confusing APIs. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to rewrite your apps every year and have a slower OS. Oh, wait.NET/C# is supposed to solve everything, yeah... that's the ticket. Oh, wait.. Java, BTDT.
Features last, working first. I'd prefer features in an patch and working OOTB.
That's a weak argument. "The police" can't be everywhere pal, and you have the duty to defend yourself. Do you leave your car w/ the keys in the ignition w/ the door open? All your ideals will not stop "the bad man" from hurting you or your company. If you want to live in a police state, move to canada or england; don't make the US into one. This is the greatest country in the world because we don't give up all our rights to solve our problems.
Ab-sol-utly correct. Positive/Negative correlation of one event does not *prove* cause, it necessary but not sufficient for proof of cause. I suspect the economy, the lack of volume of new recordings and disinterest to be to blame.
Btw, on the news tonight CBS (viacom) owned Ch 13 KOVR in Sac, CA had this pro-RIAA propaganda that said "Napster is stealing" and the RIAA head-whiner pooh-poohed saying "all you little downloading miscreants are why our industry is hurting." And the news report said that "CD-R sales are up" and "CD sales are down," trying to mislead the public with unquoted facts, sentence fragments, and FUD headlines.
All their information appeared to be regurgitated RIAA "news-releases." Shame on you KOVR: bringing you the latest in liberal, one-sided news straight from the industry NGOs. On that lovely note... [CH +]
Email that dumbass before personal electronics are ruined forever. It seems only industry reps are invited, wtf? Does the EFF plan to do anything? How about the ACLU?
Yeah, Easy Mac has the crazy fluorescent-yellow powdered cheese that never goes bad, and beside they add all kinds of preservatives too. Current MREs are pretty good over the old-school C-rations.

I'm a po' ass college student. Are there any discounts? Maybe give credit for meta-moderating and submitting stories?

This long annoying sentence here to get around an annoying slashcode bug, because it can't count.

YAEUU: Yet Another Expensive Useless Upgrade
Maybe OSes will be given away the same way as web-browsers, complete w/ banner ads, user tracking and spyware.

Legislation doesn't need to be passed anyhow, the courts have set precendents. In California and Washington state, click-wrap licenses are enforcable (see III.6, III.7).

Duke Nukem 3D has the best theme music, hands down.
Good stuff:
NGO's that suck:
The link to the flash thing is here. I can't find any more codes, and I looked in the swf binary.
There is only one "The Matrix" movie cut, but there is another dvd that has more goodies called "The Matrix Revisited" (see other post).
You mean "The Matrix Revisited?"
I didn't try them all, so play w/ em! It's sorta cool, I guess.
I bet the /. effect overloads the matrix and frees humanity. Oops, did i spoil the ending?
So are they filming matrix 2 and 3 at the same time or just 2??
