What works of your mind? Did you read a book? Did you learn math? Well then pay all those mathematicians whose ideas you stole. Pay the authors for every passage you have quoted. You do not think in a vacuum. Have you ever had a thought that wasn't influenced by something else. I didn't think so.
Maybe if you were raised by wolves in wilderness you could claim that everything you think of you own soley and completely, otherwise have some humility and remember everyone and everything that has ever inspired you.
And I should have the right to license my works, and share them, in any manner that I deem appropriate. I didn't say that I don't want to share them. I merely said that I should have the right to control how they are shared, and to control who derives economic benefits from them being shared.
Think about this for a second. Who are you licensing your works too and who is enforcing that license. The people and the government. The police and the prosecutors are the ones protecting your license, and they aren't doing it for free, eventually, after you die etc. they are going to stop enforcing and let everyone do whatever they want with your works.
The only problem now is that corporations are starting to claim this ownership or works, so even after Walt Disney has been dead for years the Disney corporation can control his works. Of course the Disney corporation is going to be around forever, thus Walt Disney's works will probably be copyrighted until no one even remembers who originally created them.
Graphics programming uses lots of matrices and vectors to represent geometric elements. Often you have to scale a vector by a certain factor which involves multiplying each element by that factor.
[ 2 4 5 6 ] * 2 = [ 4 8 10 12 ]. Instead of multiplying each value by 2 using a seperate instruction you can multiply the entire vector, by 2 with just one instruction.
What concerns me is how the Internet it going to react to this. The age old saying about the Internet and routing around censorship seems to apply here.
From reading briefly about Stacheldraht it hides some control information inside of innocent ICMP packets. I see a future where things like napster get smart and start moving into protocols and traffic that are both general required not to be blocked (certain types of ICMP), and also very common (HTTP).
If we could piggyback napster into HTTP and have enough distributed servers that IP address blocking couldn't work how could you tell napster use from regular HTTP at the high traffic levels that we are seeing.
Sprinkle in the use of encryption and I think that in the future nothing will be sacred, in terms of reserved ports, and that whatever traffic is important to the masses will get through whatever is implemented to block it.
Already there are some concerns regarding the feasibility of IDS's in 100Mbit and Gigabit networks. Are we going to start needing dedicated Beowulf clusters just to analyze network traffic in close to real-time.
Once IPsec and IPv6 come into the picture will network censorship will probably become even more difficult.
I also have a Yeong Yang Cube and I love it. It has space for everything. It has 8 3-1/2" drive mounts, plus 6 5-1/4" mounts. Probably the best feature is that you have complete access to the motherboard. Nothing is in the way. I love my Cube!
I happened to see a discussion of this on Charlie Rose the other night. Someone there used this term to describe his unease with this merger. It is true that other mergers such as MSNBC and other's haven't seemed to lessen diversity. I think the main problem we have is that we don't know what diversity we are missing. We don't know what other important stories are out there to be missed.
The other important point is editorial bias. We now have more and more companies both making the news and reporting the news. In the ideal world I would imagine that all news reporting companies should be completely financially independent. Perhaps the largest bias that will be introduced is the bias towards the mega-corporation.
The question we should really ask ourselves is, are corporations really democratic. The shareholders may be, but the boards of directors are not, and they are the ones that are increasingly holding all the power.
A final important point is that Steve Case will be on the board of directors. The board will be spilt eight and eight. Mr. Levin will be the CEO. So Mr. Levin is the one to watch.
why is this redundant. I want to ask the same question. I just checked freshmeat and didn't see anything. It would sure be nice to have a X version of this.
What is up with people bumping the mouse. You would think with the lack of keyboard controls in the GUI on the Mac that people would have the mouse permanently attached to their hand. What I hate are UI's with eye candy that assume that I have time for animations and extra clicks and such. It may just be me but I switch windows like crazy, and having to click in each window is a pain, never mind the fact that when you click on a window it has to bring itself to the foreground. Do people not multitask. I like to have windows that do things without requiring me to rearrange my foreground/background arrangement all the time.
Looking at the Mac UI design, Mac users must be slow single-minded people who have problems bumping there mouse or something.

The acronym is SIMD. Which stands for Single Instruction Multiple Data.

I don't know its exact weight, but yes it is heavy. Which makes it fun for taking to LAN parties.
