I put that in bold to highlight the fact that you said they make more of a mess than you do. =) I was only trying to be funny, in an annoying, pedantic way =P And yes, I would not disregard a report from a scientist based on incorrect writing -- that should be left to the scientific endeavour -- ie. if the science is good, then so's the paper! Although, if the scientist was lazy enough not to correct his/her spelling, grammer, etc. maybe his/her paper wasn't as thoroughly researched...
yes, but cpus allready have speedstep and similar so that when on battery it will throttle down to conserve energy. how often do you need full cpu anyways? we have past the point where a pcu got a good run for its money from editing a spreadsheet. only thing that may push it a bit today is spellchecks and autocorrection. and atleast one of those i turn of instantly as they often make more of a mess then i do:P
Something similar you might want to check out is Electronic Ink. I was reading your description and it fit it almost to a T. It doesn't have the backlight, but it does have the single charge change-state ability. You can find the link here.
That's only if the game is what is making the kid violent. I knew a lot of violent bastards when I was younger who did not play any video games at all. I doubt it's the video games' fault.
Are you kidding?! Computers are everywhere! People are needed to program those things -- who's going to do it? The engineers? HA! Don't make me laugh.
Computers are only going to get more wide-spread and ubiquitous from now on -- which means they'll need more programmers. Also, I really don't think that outsourcing is going to be a problem in a couple of years, you need to have your development team close by for maintenance of code -- and the language barrier is too high.
Your view on the current situation is pessimistic and laughable. I think you, like a lot of people, are looking at it like "well, we had a beautiful time in the Dot-Com era" but that was artificially inflated. However, if less people get into comp-sci, that means more work for me.. Hrm.. Maybe you're on to something -- time to put your plan into work:
The parent poster is right. Don't get into computer science -- it's *snicker* a "MISERABLE profession to be in".
On macslash.org, there was an Ask MacSlash about iTunes somehow figuring out what songs sounded good together using some crazy sonic algorithm. The guy was asking if it was plausible that iTunes analyzed the songs in the playlist to spit out the best mix possible.
Well, there is ways of analysing the song to figure out what type of song it is -- There is actually a very intelligent professor at my local University that has developed an algorithm/program that can tell with a pretty good idea what type of song it is. (that might not be a correct link, I was poring over their website to try and find any information about the software/visiting professor and I can't say that I recall all the details exactly.. =\ ) I saw a demo of it in a class one time when he was a guest lecturer and it was pretty impressive.
Not to mention that DJ thing you can do with a phone.
divergent stereo??? divergent stereo is WAY harder to do than cross-eyed stereo. Many people can't do divergent without mechanical aids (especially with larger images). My mothe, who'se an optometrist thinks that it's almost impossible (compared to cross-eyed stereo)
Well, you can let her know that I can do it just fine. =) It takes a bit of practice, but it can be done -- and it's much easier on my eyes than convergant (cross-eyed, whatever) it's just like looking at something far away.
You might as well be asking which sexual position is best. There are so many different opposing and agreeing views you have to really decide for yourself. Honestly, a debian based system would be what I recommend, but SuSe has a nice interface and just seems really professional - except not a very friendly package manager. Fedora doesn't cut it in my estimation.
I use Xandros myself, but I don't play games much -- I don't have a good graphics card -- and the libs get old real quick -- hard to update. =\
I don't want anyone taking any goddamn pictures of me, even in public. I applaud the ability to blur your face. As for abuse of said technology, the example given is completely absurd. Sure there might be a few cases, but a person is allowed their right to privacy, right? Don't get uptight about anonymity when in this increasingly public world, information is a side effect of technology. I applaud the ability to become anonymous.
I've been eagerly anticipating the new series with bated breath. It's got some really interesting story lines going on, and I think the writers have been doing a fantastic job. In my eye it's been pretty original as far as sci-fi goes. =)
Have a live show where paople join a public (private, whatever) multiplayer server and have a play by play of the shots. IE. a halo2 server where people join up, and then have live coverage of the gibbing.
Talk about completely interactive TV. =)
Based on Microsoft's behavior past and present, its effect on the industry and emergence of technology in general (quite negative)
You're kidding right? If it wasn't for windows 95 and microsoft, the personal computer wouldn't be as wide spread as it is right now. Love them or hate them (I don't like them myself) you have to admit that Microsoft has pretty much made the home tech industry.
I am now typing on a Fujitsu keyboard. It's very nice.. Clicky clicky. =) It's big, and heavy, but I can probably type faster with this keyboard than any other keyboard I've ever used.
Mod parent up! Whenever I did programs on my calculator like "whack a mole" people weren't as interested as they were when I brought an autonomous solar powered robot to class. =)
Why call it doom then? From what I've heard about the plot, it just sounds like a sequel to "28 Days Later" maybe they should just call it "Another 28 Days later"??
When is Hollywood going to give us what we want?? Instead, we once again get a resounding "Fuck you".

And once again, I have placed my foot firmly in my mouth. =)

There's a reason it's called the news.
With the latest stories and reports and behaviour of the "news" media, you'd think they would call it the "Sensationals".

It's good to know there are still optimists out there.

I only need 12, (ctrl, shift, and the numbers).
I use ASCII...;P
It's not stealing. It's Cultural Exchange.
Where can I learn to make old fashioned watches? Do you have a link?
