My point is, looking at violence could very well be damaging to society. We just tend to quietly kill the messenger whenever we hear this, because we know that the folks telling us that violence is wrong have just as many problems "upstairs" as the rest of us.
There. More sane, don't you think?
I really wish I could both appreciate the natural beauty of women and also keep my dirty mind off of them.
What dirty, dirty person you are!;) 10 ave marias at once and no dessert for one week for you, naughty boy! Hahhah.
Wow, that was some rebuttal. I've always wanted to see all these arguments collected in one post like this. Reasoned and well thought out.
If you don't mind, I'll save this and clip&paste it whenever some throws the usual "more free than thou, best of the best of the best" or other such misinformed and/or ignorant claim about US.
It wears one down pretty fast, fighting these endless masses of ignorant fools thinking they're the peak of civilized world... I'm hoping Bush gets elected again and that he would continue bashing and trashing around until even thickest numbskulls admit that they're no better than rest of the world.
Plus, FPGA programming is getting a bit of attention lately. It wouldn't be hard to imagine companies setting up clusters of computers, and filling every available PCI slot with this graphics card, and using the cards to do most of the calculations. Remember the PS2 cluster? Imagine the processing power of that, but on steroids.
I second that. The card/chip should be made as generally usable as possible like CPUs do but emphasizing maximum I/O throughput using technologies like embedded DRAM(eDRAM) providing extremely high bandwidths and littering rest of the card with empty sockets for additional [C/G]PUs and/or small highspeed memory modules like DDR2/DDR3 SODIMMs when available.
Then massively scalable architecture using speedy external bus (like SLI) without the need to use AGP/PCIe slots at all! Think separate racks for multiple blades of these cards and only single "interface"card in AGP/PCIe slot directing data into that highspeed external bus. Tilebased rendering would be nice.
Raw power over sophistication works if entry-level is low enough, like almost empty card with basic stuff but lots of expandability through parallel solutions and empty slots.
If that chip will be fully programmable, general DSP or transmeta-style whatever and all registers, ops and interfaces published then patents wouldn't matter since all functionality would be in the OSS drivers which'd get forked/customized/tuned however anyone wanted.
And, should they make it modular enough with empty sockets for additional processors + multiple SODIMM sockets (would 4 SODIMMS make 4*64bits = 256bit?) for dual/quad memory channels... then one could buy entry-level card with one cheap processor + 1 64Mb 400Mhz DDR SODIMM, then upgrade it later if needed.
Ya, I'm getting the same(ish) picture: we're like running programs in a machine trying to probe the pattern of the memory hardware cells/transistors where we and and our own world is stored and being executed. Seems like those "transistors", looking like calabi-yau spaces can have quite a bit more states than 1 and 0.
Maybe alchemists were right after all trying to make gold from other stuff.. now, we need a method to control the states of these transistors and crack possible error correction mechanisms that would otherwise "fix" our changes in planck time.
So... semi-topical question here: now that gene count seems to be one quarter of the estimated, compressing that could make complete source code for a human even more compact.
Honey, which compression should I use to shrink this one, Rar, ace or 7z?
Being geek is fun when even humans look like source codes when digitalized. Maybe we should code "womb emulator" and using it, fork human gene making vacuum resistant, amphibious and tiny versions... uhh, then stable and unstable releases and nightly builds.
Gulp, it just occurred to me that I might be a nightly build...
Like hell you are with that kind of an apologist BS.
Windows is a joke, a gaming platform, a toy that has no place on desktops. It purposefully obfuscates even administrative tasks with piss-poor out-of-the-box shell scripting tools. Take any command line utility and try something basic stuff that you would do with unix/linux and you'll see.
They take away little by little what usefullness command prompt ever had so that they can sell their faggoty-clickety-click administrative tools like SMS or "terminal server", ugh.
Like grandparent poster said, Every fucking windows release ever has sucked. People were happy using WP5.1 for DOS, then came "windows" and mouses and stupid or no explanations as to why they suddenly needed "a pointing device" and why fast and responsive text display was dumped.
Now with GUIs people waste their time browsing flashy ads, porn, stupid powerpoint chainletter-jokes and messing cluelessly around with their "media enhanced office applications". Who the fuck needs audio and videoclips to go with their department budget estimations? Oh puhleeze god, bring back text-mode and send GUIs to hell.
You can help: LHC@Home

Happy 50th Cern!

· Score: 5, Informative
Go to http://lhcathome.cern.ch/ and join. It's beta... whoops, beta testing ended just yesterday. I guess there's no more 5000 participant limit anymore, so why don't you give it a try. You can use BOINC to calculate seti work units also.
From the LHC@Home FAQ:
"1.2 What does LHC@home do?
LHC@home helps the construction of LHC. It simulates how the particles travel trough the 27 km long tunnel. With the help of the calculated information, the magnets that control the beam can be calibrated with greater precision."
Maybe not good but still better idea than bad viruses. Hey, if somebody's going to write viruses anyway, I'd prefer they write good ones.
At least that way the writers could defend themselves saying their intent was not to harm. I mean doesn't good intent mean something in a court of law?
That's because you're thinking of making copies for somebody else than yourself. Or do you really watch intro and credits every time you watch a movie you've seen before?
That Bladerunnerish phuture has certain appeal to it, OTOH... So go ahead, take'em all away, all power to megacorps and just maybe I'll see some "dark" vision of future come true in my lifetime.
Anyway, it's kind of fun to really fight for something but nowadays there's nothing to fight for except puny "think-of-all-the-ramifications!", OMG just think what'll become if this cornerstone, this brilliant core of freedom vanished! OMGOMG!!!11
First NT version happened how many years ago? Every consecutive version MS has promised to make it secure, powerful and stabile. How many friggin years they still need to make one OS that delivers?
Hotfixes my ass, let's see one OS from MS where quality is something one would expect from multibillion dollar company with thousands of developers.
Let's see one modern MS OS (for x86 not PDAs!) where standard supported minimum install is below 20Mb where users can add/remove components and functionality as they please.
I think much better suppressor would be grenade launcher with smoke grenades and better yet, toxic liquids. They'd not see anything, would be occupied pulling hazmat suits and gas masks on and best of all, probably dying.
Nucular waepons of muss distracton, hello world and goodbye.
I might give away some of my works for free but knowing that those works take thousands, maybe millions of dollars away from bloatware market, that really makes my day.
Computers can do anything but ordinary people don't know that and companies use that fact to sell so many stupid "innovations" it makes me sick. SO, all it takes is look what relatively simple function costs a lot (anything cad related for example) and make free tool with easy interface, share it and then relax and enjoy.
Make the world feel the pain when everyone needs their income/food but reality, too many people, hits 'em back hard showing that markets saturate sooner when some people, like me, give key elements away for free. Hahhah. Take that.
I install software firewall to block IE and Outlook and ALL microsoft related traffic, I've considered blocking even microsoft.com, hotmail.com, etc. but for now I think that'd be too much of a hassle afterwards.
I remove automatic system file restore and delete few IE and Outlook files. I shut down and disable every service windows doesn't need to work (msoffice might not work but hey, they can use that openoffice I installed for them) leaving only 10 or less running.
You could also block ms messenger and update apps, etc. In essence, if all things microsoft are stripped to the point that they do only what ms (originally?) set out to do, to make a operating system then everything you do with computer go so much smoother. No ms offices, ms utilities, ms patches, ms licenses(haha), ms servers, ms deployments or ms supplements. ONLY ms os for games and other such small useless time wasting shit that it's made for. 98lite was great help for accomplishing this and I hope something similar comes out for XP so that I don't have to do everything manually.
Instead, couples could spend their time traveling, playing games, reading, cooking, engaging in philosophical conversations. Anything but boring mating rituals/nest making/copulating. We could at least pretend we're intelligent beings and therefore something more than just stupid animals.
I just felt my RL karma plunge to worse. I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh reply from me and I realized I managed to write such a post that I'd rather use my kill button on it than yours.
I dunno which is more sad, mocking artist's creation, mocking artist because of his work or mocking artist's female relatives and family members because of artist's work. Sad sad sad sadsdaddsfafyvtd
How the hell is his wife's appearances related to what he has done to his car? This is unbelievably stupid thread that reminds me of something that I don't want to: we have so mentally repulsive individuals among us that they must rely on modern communication technology to get heard. Slashdot has rating system but still I feel insulted having read something like these posts at 3+. Goatse was easy compared to this car-wife attraction comparison perversion.
Oh how I wish I had "kill post and its author" button here somewhere. Mafia got one thing right, family is sacred, insults against it are dealt appropriately.
Or the couch. Or the living room floor. Or the washing machine.... Married life doesn't *have* to be boring.
Instead, couples could spend their time traveling, playing games, reading, cooking, engaging in philosophical conversations. Anything but boring mating rituals/nest making/copulating. We could at least pretend we're intelligent beings and therefore something more than just stupid animals.
Oh, you mean we should use DirectBJ 2018a? Or maybe cracked (with keygen) version of it which we could not patch without new crack/keygen? Then without patches we would get brainworms sending our private stuff to random people or making us zombies so we must then get firewalls and then my ping would not pass it unless configured, it would loop pinging in my brain back and forth and quite possibly make a DoS in there or should I say Denial of Brain, DoB?
I think transfering a mind barely makes a copy of it and kills the original and that copy would believe he survived and nothing went wrong so he would eventually transfer again and so on.
This occurred to me while I was thinking that if a mind cn be transferred then it also could be copied and what would determine into which copy your consiouness would transfer? Nothing. There'd be many happy copies but no original. I'll pass that part thankyou.
