its just that DNS was never meant to be the universal name server for an internet population the size of todays.
the ambiguousness of tld's is already annoying enough. throw in upper ascii characters and its a nightmare.
there should be one uniquely identifying value, idealy with no dashes dots or anything. ie: "gordyspage" from there, add the display names: "gordys page" "gordy's page" etc. any common typo's godry grody paeg these could be automatically generated.
so you basically have a one to many relationship back to gordyspage which pulls up the correct site.
if someone else registered "gordonspage" and used the same aliases I did then those aliases would now provide a many to many relationship that could return the list of sites using them. probably along with a short description to further differentiate each other.
there's no reason to build a dns system like this now though cuz people are going to just stop using dns directly. a lot of people I see typing addresses into google instead of the address bar. I used to think it was because they didn't know where to type but really it just works better that way.
a isn't different enough from ä or å to justify taking me to an entirely different website if I typed in aol äol or åol.com
how much sense does it make to have aol, äöl, åol, aöl, äol, åöl all goto different sites???
aol has to register all 6,.com.net and.org 18 domains total just to keep some punk from scamming people with his similar domain.. you shouldn't have to afford to register all of those (assuming they aren't already registered) just because of our DNS system that wasn't designed for what we use it for.
IDN is a fundamental change we need to the internet. Not only to incorporate local languages on to the Internet, but also to increase the number of available choices.
horseshit. vävtak.com should take me to the same place as vavtek.com
increasing the available choices does not solve any problems. we already have pc-club.com != pcclub.com != pcclub.net.. when you give somebody a web address over the phone you explicitly announce dashes or all-one-word because everyone knows about these rediculous ambiguities. do you want to make them case-sensitive too? then we'd have tons of available domains!
adding more characters to uniquely identify an address just makes this problem so much worse (its the same problem that we've always had, just now with IDN it's simply unacceptable).
I really think DNS needs to be revised to enforce a unique constraint on a filter of the address. for instance if some-place.com, s0me-place.com, someplace.com and smeplace.com all took you to the same place because they are in fact the same.. what a concept
DNS is not user-friendly! DNS was originally engineered nobody anticipated billions of queries a day typed directly in from users!
you guys are talking about binary like its some sort of encoded format. binary is just base 2 nomenclature for numbers.. an estimation can be off by one bit but you know its minor because it's the bottom bit or the bottom 4 bits (the bottom 4 bits of a number could only change the number by 15). you can't write an estimation that does one arbitrary bit at a time, that's hollywood bullshit (where the guy slaps the codebreakermajig on the vault and the spinning numbers stop one random digit at a time). if you could calculate the 13th bit of the result of some problem you'd have to calculate the 12 bits behind it.
pretty much, except they are saying they've found a natural key so they won't have to use that pesky autonumber column. it also makes identifying an unknown species a bit easier.
if your an 'undercover', you're probably an ENTP. extroverted, socially adept. nobody thinks your a geek because at least a good part of your intelligence is spent making you funny, witty, charming etc. and everybody knows geeks are social retards.
generally the smartest people in the world are ENTP or INTP. E's are the extroverted smarties, I's are the introverted smarties and they make up less than 5% of the population (so they may not have had many in this study).
typically an ENTP will be interested and excited about a big project, but when pushed into the technical details gets bored and stops being productive. an INTP is the opposite, spends more time thinking about the details than the big picture.
however, some people can be both introverted and extroverted.. usually people who were the "baby" of the family with an older brother or sister at some point during their mental development had to revolutionize their thought process in order to compete for their parent's attention (throwing a temper tantrum is the example I read about). being born in the month of june would give you the tendency to develope a split personality as well.
anyways, these people are exceptionally rare. they are essentially both ENTP and INTP with the strengths and weaknesses of both.. sometimes your a social retard, sometimes your the life of the party, sometimes your bored with the details, sometimes you're buried in them. etc etc.
When the LED's are driven at their maximum operating
conditions as indicated in table 2, the total power generated by the
LED's is about 6.5 W. The thermal design turned out to be
insufficient to dissipate this power without overheating the
devices, and the LED's had to be driven at lower currents to limit
the temperature. This resulted in a light output of the projector of
about 15 lm, which was still very comparable to the brightness of
a laptop when illuminating an area of 15" diagonal.
6. Conclusions
A small RGB LED illuminator for pocket imagers has been
demonstrated, with 40 lm output, resulting in 15 lm out of the
projector. Volume of the light engine, including optics, heat sinks
and driver and light-feedback electronics was around 100 cc.
what exactly did he do to "release it to 40,000 computers".. it's a worm. he modified the copy that infected his machine and it went on doing what it does. Had he not done that 40,000 computers would still have been infected just not with his modified version.
He probably took too much credit for it thinking he wasn't going to get caught. If he had a better lawyer he probably could've walked clean
different encocers produce different output. most people sware by LAME and only with the highest quality settings. I'm sure the faster encoders take shortcuts sacrificing audio quality for encoding speed.
the future is definately not lossless. why would we go backwards? with cpu's getting faster more emphesis will be put on accurate encoding instead of fast encoding and the distortions will eventually go away
dude, if my birth meant fucking up my parents lives by interupting their education, putting them in a financial rut and growing up poor with a statistically better chance of living a worthless life or being a criminal - fucking abort me!
if my parents aborted a couple accidents before they had me so they could wait until they had a home and good jobs, they should be commended! I still made it here so whats the big fucking deal?
now I don't give a fuck what goes on in china. the reason for my flame was your attitude towards abortions:
It's not YOUR quality of life. Whether or not a few thousand low income families make a decision to have a 5th child does not affect you in any way.
If you have trouble with lines in California, move
bullshit. so california is so overpopulated I have to move away from my job, my family and friends - this is not my quality of life? not only does it affect my quality of life, it affects EVERYONES.. its obvious. a few hundred years ago, if a family barely surviving had another baby, the whole family would die (or they'd ditch the baby). nowadays if a family barely surviving has another baby (or 3 or 5) everybody else pays to make sure those kids get taken care of. Alright we're a culture of life!
now make an argument how some family making a decision that they can't afford to raise a child right now affects YOUR life in ANY way. you CAN'T, because it DOESN'T. so shut the fuck up
(1) All the cars in front go to their destinations. The maintenance car travels to the broken down car by going "the wrong way" down the line, and drags the failed car away.
this makes for a pretty bad case when two cars in sequence break down. one maintenance car would have to make two complete round trips. it would probably be worth the expense to have at least two lines to every destination. extra lines could be used to prioritize the pods, letting pods pass other pods, or even having the whole thing be bidirectional. if computers do all the driving, a bunch of pods could pass each other going opposite directions on adjacent lines at speed without any risk of collision.

having that little ram makes debugging somewhat simple (in contrast). imagine a full memory dump fitting on one page where you could just highlight each variable with a marker.
Kind of like your reaction to partial birth abortions. Quantity of life is much more important than Quality of life, right?
You must be from one of those states where the population is so sparse, you've never had to wait in line for anything. Spend some time in california where you wait in line for EVERYTHING - freeways, markets, bathrooms, restaurants, movies, you name it.. get in line.
You'll think twice about preserving every god damned accidental/retarded/disfigured/or otherwise unwanted baby. Feeding the people too stupid to feed themselves. Protecting "life".
Just sit back on your 10 acre front lawn and preach to us about the culture of life.
this seems somewhat on topic. I found this article from 1995 (!) about a new electronically controlled valvetrain system that would increase fuel efficiency by at least 10% http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9510/cleaner_engine/
here we are 10 years later and no production cars come equipped with such a system, nor is there anything like it in the after market. The details of it seem simple enough, prototypes have been demonstrated to work well and manufacturing costs as well as tcoo are lower than the current line of mechanical valvetrains.
does this not exist because america can't afford to take the tax hit?
the guy who wrote it will just think your being an asshole. all programmer's egos are all puffed up.. even the sucky ones. so you can critique his code all you want but he'll probably just critique yours back ad hominem.
