mozilla uses a roadmap to achieve this -- theres no real reason open source tools couldnt use good project management. in most OSS projects the team is too small to justify it but a good OSS PMI tool could do wonders.
it talks back. its a (slightly better) eliza. we arent blown away. we're just happy that someone is building it. sure its a toy. but its a step towards the real thing (combining google with alicebot and cyc would be a great start). and maybe just maybe modifications to the open code of alicebot can lead to some real progress.
yeah but the combination process to actually build the virus from raw DNA is hellishly complex. See their paper in which they point out 2 YEARS and $300,000 from a DARPA grant was used to build it. not something someone can do overnight in a basement using a $10K budget.

ok..why should you HAVE to remember them ? think about it... user interfaces are meant for the user. the computer should do all the handholding necessary if a user cant remember the steps required. if i always highlight text to do a copy paste operation only why should the computer keep asking me from a list of drop down choices ? just do it automagically. nano (version of pico) is one of my favourite text editors. if i do an action more than twice using the same keystroke sequence it remembers it and does it automagically the next time i repeat the first two keystrokes in the sequence. why should we expect users to remember n billion tasks when a machine can do them for us ? its supposed to be a labour saving device not a labour enhancing one. The problem with computer programmers is that they have huge short term memories. its damn stupid to assume the average person has the same. also most programmers are too damn smart for their own good. assuming the user is brain dead/half asleep is a good assumption when programming. Lets face it -- the average human is NOT smarter than the average geek in terms of sheer logic analysis. And yes, your mother should beat the shit out of you for being that patronising. a good whuppin does wonders for that overinflated ego.
just a short comment on how good the alpha high performance math libraries really are (and the alpha engineers -- may alpha rest in peace). I was writing code for a simple matrix transform using the algorithm as follows: for (a=0;a100;a++){for(b=0;b100;b++){ txarray[a][b]=o ldarray[b][a];}} using the alpha libraries to do the transform instead rated me a 10x boost in speed. this was weird as i didnt see how the above algorithm could be optimized...tearing apart the assembly i saw: for (a1=0;a1100;a1=a1+10){for b1..{for(a=0;a10;a++){for(b...
evidently they had optimised it so that reads and writes would occur from closely spaced regions of memory and less time would be spent writing. result ? a 10x boost on a simple algorithm and a neat hack at the same time. just an example of how awesome the engineering of the alpha wa
Probably an inside job. the cartels can afford to buy the stuff original *with* company consulting and set up....they have no need to steal it. its a multi BILLION dollar business. they probably have support contracts and 24/7 offsite data backups.
its easy. just use SSL from a main "proxy" server (or better yet a 2-3 server set sharing the certs) that takes the SSL requests and handles em as well as opens standard http connections to the webservers. the proxy server set will handle your SSL encryption while your web servers in your cluster serve webpages. ive only done it with apache on linux so i dont know how any other webserver will work.
I also fail to see how they join two materials together without any thermal energy applied from outside. what do they do..set the reactive layer on fire ?
this does raise an interesting issue though -- how are such things financed ? do you have to have everything in cash to build your own home ? whats the process ? does the bank give mortgages on building homes or what ?
yup. but software development still doesnt work too well now does it ? even with software engineering and UML we still end up with a large majority of poorly delivered software projects and products with massive numbers of defects.
1. Normal PDA screen with builtin projector for the large wall output if required. 2. ability to play dvds and write dvdrs 3. huge hard disk capacity. 4. palmpilot form factor 5. 1-2 months battery life. 6. gigabytes of memory. 7. 2 x 64 bit x86 backward compatible cpus (like amds hammer). 8. DX9 and OGL 2.0 fully compliant graphics processor. 9. 1600 x 1200 min res on the internal LCD with 4kx4k output on the projector with touch sensitivity on the internal lcd. 10. ungodly cheap price (like $99.95). oh well, it is a wishlist.
Its a purely dumb expert system. it has no self reasoning capability -- it draws inferences from already preprogrammed facts. it cant learn without someone stuffing it and it definitely has no curiosity drive to allow it to grow exponentially smarter. Youre not teaching it about morality -- it doesnt learn. its dumb. youre just adding new constraints to filter through. Personally i think this is a hare brained idea. the 60 mil would be better spent on developing a huge set of different neural network algorithms and finding one that enabled expoenential growth.

hmm..so how much did it cost you total ? $200 or so for food for the first week, $100 for the tests and $150 to the carrier ? or did you also have to pay for the teaming up, hauling glass and advanced training or were they paying you for that ? also whats included in the CDL tests ? is it just like a regular car test (3 point turn, regular driving, parallel park) ? or completely different ? is there a written component ? do people pass it the first time or do they repeat ?
hmm...do they hire people with just a regular driving license ? or do you need a special license to apply for the job ? how long did it take you to get a truck license or did you have one already before you applied ? did they pay for training and stuff ? make you sign a long term contract ?
he covered that when he noted the 33% success rate for disruptive and useful innovations from startups. that 77% remaining is just bad luck. so basically you have a 30% chance of being successful with a new venture based on a new innovative and useful idea. since not every idea is new useful or disruptive that rate is reduced to 10% which is the average success rate for a startup. single page view : http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/christens en0602.asp?p=0
uh huh. well in theory if you converted heat to electricity you could dispose of the electricity pretty easily. your analysis considers a device that only moves energy around, not converts it. that said, this looks like a hoax..but theres always the small possibility it could be real.
did you use the same techniques as winvoice (http://www.seeingwithsound.com/winvoice.htm) or metasynth ? or did you do something completely different ? do you have a link with source ??
whatever happenned to letting employees make decisions ? just give em a choice of first letter of first name+MI+first letter of surname or let them choose on their own. a 3 letter email+login is dead simple to remember. add numbers if required.

software does work because processes are put in place to allow it to mostly work. they can be refined however.
i agree. software should never be a liability issue.
if you distribute your images as XPM files they're basically C code which can be linked and distributed as GPL.
the XPM file format just whacks a bunch of ascii data into a C compatible file which can be compiled by gcc.

well..maybe you can tell these guys (www.openatc.org) that.
komodo.mozilla.org instead of ftp.mozilla.org
may not last too long though.
