i read a review of a case like the g4 but for a pc on tomshardware about a year ago. i cant find the article anymore, tried searching toms, and nothing comes up on google. it was called the submarine case, maybe i just dream it...
this is my view of the universe, and i havent read his book yet:
the universe is one giant three dimensional spreadsheet playing a cellular automata game. time is in discrete 'clicks' so theres a smallest amount of time -- the time between any change occuring. i guess this contradicts relativity theory but maybe not quantum mechanics.
at woolworths in australia we are meant to sign in and out for work using a fingerprint scanner. the scanner has been down for two months so everyone signs in on a sheet...ahh technology...then again probably no-one has bothered to ring up to get it fixed...ahh people
one of the rules of the legged league in robocup 2001 (UNSW ûber alle) was that a robot would get penalised if it endangered a member of the crowd. our aibos were pretty mean, but the only thing that got damaged was CMUs pride...
yeah can you think of a stupider premise for a movie...its like they pulled it out of their ass...
plus i thought the kid was a boy but supposedly its her daughter...maybe its just the amount of sissy male kids they have in movies these days that my neural net has been wired into thinking they are...
it is so lucky that the framers of the constitution had such foresight. the article makes me both happy and sad. happy that the constitution, which americans hold very dear, contains many truly democratic protections, and sad that some current governments seem to be shifting away from democracy, and the constitution needs to be used to protect individual freedoms.
yeah funding is a big issue. commercial software probably wont disappear, nor do i think commercial content will.
i do however think that indie content could grow in the near future just like indie software has grown. however, mostly on the net i see only big companies impinging and advertising cluttering my mind. indie content would rock. stuff like http://photo.net , community sites. places where its essentially advert and protection free. and places where you dont have to log in etc etc
without obscuring the piracy issue, the time has come for us to open the content. currently focus seems to be around opening the mega corporations content and theyre protection schemes.
it is definately an important fight, but why not also produce free content. lets start producing tv, film and written content and release it as truly free on the internet.
i agree. especially with quotes like this: "I really don't have any idea what was going on in his
mind," said Rita Majumder, Shinjan's mother. "But they
surely are to blame."
i thought the word "surely" had connotations of some degree of knowledge.
high powered weapons should be much more restricted than they are in the US.
btw, dont get me wrong, i shot in the world championships in bisley so im not completely anti gun.
i just think that sometimes individuals in society may have to sacrifice an individual freedom for the greater good. im not saying this is a good thing in all cases, or even in any cases, but its reality. thats why i cant go to the toilet in the middle of the city, whereas some time in the past humans probably crapped wherever they wanted to.

hmmm...im at uni now and i thought it was also about money spinning
an army of slashdotters couldnt poke holes in a wet paper bag...
down with cell phones

oh wait, except in the tech sector...you nerds arent getting any...

yeah!
especially if you dont have one of those flat screens...the fishbowl effect is really unflattering
is a much better option
hmmm
this is very cool.

boycott adobe until this nonsense is dropped. in a time where rampant corporations wield power over individuals consumer choice is a powerful weapon.

yeah sorry... i blame the net
what happened in my case is that the internet gave me a fifteen second attention span. i mean at least tv made me sit there now i cant even focus on tv for that long. because here im only a single click away from another interesting distracting bit of information, halfway through an article.

i did say designed...not used.

how about taking the guns off the street first. stop free access to technology that is designed with one purpose in mind, killing people.
then we shall see whether we also need to restrict access to video games. do the simplest thing that would have the most impact.
