    It's obvious 17th century England is trying to use its stocks of springs, feathers and gunpowder to develop WMDs. I say we invade now. We don't want to wait until the smoking feathers becomes a mushroom cloud.

    You say that Bush should not get much credit for jobs gained since November 2001, but then you say that his policies have "taken effect" and as a result, there has been a job gain.


    Couldn't it be that there were no such effects and that the weak recovery from recession is coincidental, or even happened in spite of these policies? Apparently the policies, whatever their effects, have not been enough to recover jobs caused by the recession.

    Has there not been a net loss of jobs since Bush took office?

  16. Re:How about Boinc? on Simulating the Whole Universe · · Score: 1
    They already solved that problem; read the article or the other link.

    1. break the universe into a billion units, and compute the interactions among those only
    2. within each unit, use a tree to group smaller mass aggregates and compute interactions between nodes in the tree

    So this could be done on a distributed system if you allocate the billion units across your individual processors.


    If that's not efficient you could get more fine-grained and allocate subtrees of the individual trees to individual processors.

    Is that the same MEK as the neoconservatives-in-the-US-Congress-supported group of Marxist terrorists? Any thorough War on Terror needs to support terrorists sooner or later. You need terrorists to fight terror, you see.

    I think your parent is right; you need some 'end-of-statement' syntactic marker to reduce ambiguity that would otherwise result during the parsing...I don't know of any programming language that doesn't have something similar; maybe the sole exception would be assembly language, but assembly is very primitive of course.

  22. Re:Bling Bling on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 1
    Yes, and so the word "property" is problematic in dealing with such things as software, music, movies, etc. As far as I know, the term "intellectual property" is fairly recent (last 20 years maybe..?)


    Of course, there are vested interests who would like us to accept this concept because they can then redefine copyright infringement as theft!

  23. Re:Bling Bling on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 1
    The "intellectual property" regime, where copyright violations become "theft" - that is, criminal and an object of state violence - makes it more like feudalism than capitalism.


    Medieval feudalism was also a system of property protected by traditional "contracts," rather than by a strong central state. But it was "protection" in the sense of a racket, built around local warlords and the universal threat/opportunity of their predatory raids.

  24. Re:Bling Bling on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because software has been commoditized doesn't mean capitalism in software is dead. The profit margins have gone down and will continue to do so but that's simply market capitalism at work.
