I have a simple questions, is there a way to impliment a Bayesian Filter for Evolution without having to add an extra stop for the email, (ie a mail server on my computer from which evolution picks mail up locally).
I keep hopin they finally get an ogg vorbis digital music player thats reasonably sized. I don't want one of the big, fancy players; I want a small, pocket sized one that doesn't have the kitchen sink. I want one I can put a 512mb memory stick or compact flash or whatever card in and throw in my pocket while I run, bike, fence, or whatever.
These players are great. If I wanted a nice big music player I'd chomp down on this fast, but 4.5x2.5x1.5 (not exact) is a bit big to just throw in my pocket considering the size of some of the players out there.
I'm happy that companies are starting to tune digital music players for the linux crowd and starting to get ogg support on them, but would it kill to have a small, no frills player that can play vorbis files?
True. A good powerpoint is where you have main points on the slides, but have memorized all the in-between information so can talk about everything while the slide makes the main point. People digest much more information per time through their ears. You should never just 'read' your powerpoint presentation, it makes you look tacky. Everyone in your audience is thinking, "why don't you just send me the fucking presentation and I'll read it myself when I feel like it".
If you give a powerpoint presentation and try to fit as much stuff on a page as fits, no-one will read any of it. At most you want 1 thought or 1 bulleted list per slide. And no list should have more than 3 entries really. People just stop paying attention pretty quickly.
A good example would be to ask how many people read the text anywhere on slashdo tbut main articles. I know I ignore everything else including the text to the right and left sides of the main screen.
While I know very few people if any would agree with me, I liked the original series ending the most. I know that the ending doesn't really end the action of the series but I never saw the series as being about the action and I liked the insite the original ending gave.
As for X-MEN and Spiderman, both of these are universes where they really just keep going until they can't make money. They don't have a definate beginning and ending. Neon Genesis is like Cowboy bebop and many other anime. The ending is concieved before the beginning is released.
Yeah, maybe they'll chose to look at something that wasn't included in the series, but what? All the fights with all the angels are shown in the series and we know they won't go without showing the eva's fighting. So they're going to have to make up some random bad guy that doesn't effect the over all plot of the series in any way, who appears at the beginning of the movie and dies at the end. And none of the major characters can be effected in any way.
Neon Genesis isn't a 'universe' like starwars or xmen or such where you can just plop a story line down in the middle of an unused portion, fit it w/ the predefined details and have it fit. Neon Genesis is a complete story line from beginning to end with no need for expansion or detraction. Any of either minus the complete rewriting of portions of it is damaging, (and the complete rewritings might be damaging as well).
Neon Genesis was completed in the anime and 2 movies. There isn't anything to add to it. The series contains all the monster fights and it contains the ending. The series isn't about the action, it's about the emotions of shinji.
I can't see this movie doing anything but hurting the rest of the plot of the series. If they want to do a live action they should do cowboy bebop. You can fit another cowboy bebop film in about anywhere you want. But Neon Geneis is completed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
ISO, how abou the game
on
Gentoo Games
·
· Score: 1
I"m still waiting on the ISO so I don't know if this is the case or not, but it seems that this is gentoo on CD w/ the game installed. While thats nice, I'd really like to just install America's Army on my Mandrake machine. I'm happy with mandrake. I don't want to have to run gentoo to play the game.
So please tell me I"m wrong and I can use the CD to install AA onto my computer or some other way to install AA w/o gentoo.
On a related note, I like the Idea of a distro that runs off CD that includes nvidia and ATI drivers so I can test 3D things on computers I"m workng on w/o the hard drive.
In a word, superb. It was the Matrix expand in every way. Better action. Better plot. Better philisophical ideas.
The action was amazing. You can see the crouching tiger hidden dragon influence in it. It doesn't have the grace and beauty of crouching tiger, but the amazing use of weapons, the speed of movements, and the fight scenes which are more than the enemies lining up 1 by 1 really show an attention to detail.
Also, the use of the special powers of the certain enemeis is very well done. Not just using the ability to pass through material to be completely invincible, but using it on and off, to get into vehicles, and being restricted by not being able to use it because it would cause them to leave the vehicle. Being forced to use it to protect themselves but then not being realizing their objective because they used it.
Second, the plot. It's pretty strait forward w/ a huge bend at the end. Machines are digging. We need to stop them. Of course at the source it makes a u-turn. Not bad but not Spirited Away.
The philisophical portion. Well, of course it isn't Plato, or Aristotle. But the movie asks some very valid and fundamental questions, (which it attempts to answer). 1. Do we have free will? Not just in the matrix but anyone. 2. Are machines in control of humans, or will they be? While the philisophy students may complain that the explanation is to conveluted or that the movie is full of double speak (which it really is), they do ask those questions and they try to answer them. There is a very real, (as opposed to perceived), level of philisophical questioning in the movie though it is not well intertwined in the plot IMO as it has to be explicitly stated.
yes, because it's very likely that doing:
./configure --enable-gui
make
su -c "make install"
functions completely differently when I type it. I guess I must have missed the "--dont-crash-on-quicktime-movies" option.
Will mplayer be able to take advantage of these native sorensen codecs also? While mplayer plays quicktime files, they are not native and they aren't great, (specifically once you play 1 mplayer will crash if you attempt to play a second). Also, I am pretyt hooked on mplayer by now.
I actually think this is a good idea. You can keep your information on a sealed device you don't have to take out. I can see this being something that you carry in your back pocket. Then if you want a pda type device, carry a REALLY thin client. Screen and wireless only. If you want something more advanced get a sunglasses-type interface. Or maybe your cell phone, (or anyones), picks up to it, (if it's not incorporated into cell phones like the inventor invisions). Or just carry it and use it as the equivelant of a USB data stick.
While it is not completely new or different, the fact that it is just a simple, yet robust way of doing something that has many options for use makes it a good idea.
I think his excuse is that the technology is required to function in society, (which is one of the reasons it's evil), so therefore it's ok for him to use it and still criticize it continuiously.
Yes. He is an asshole. There is no question about that. I was trying to be cordial. It's more that he's old and becoming senile rather than being insecure I think.
For parent and J23SE, the article talks about both the main stream, and cult following of the movie. I think we are discussing the portion related to cult following as opposed to what you are talking about, the main stream following.
He told the class that cars were a bad thing and that Satan runs the internet. (Really.)
He's a huge hypocrit though. He drives to work, answers his cellphone during class multiple times, (last time was a call from the sierra club for his wife), spent the first 30min of class last class making personal calls, (one I heard as I passed was reguarding property in New York. He's 73 so maybe he's working on his retirment home.) And he sends out all assignments be email, (usually 2 days before he wants them completed for reading assignments).
Actually, the professor is extremely biased against technology and all those who use it. He sees them as lacking individuality and free reason or choice.
I actually just wrote a paper that had a blurb about nerds. Nerds are really people with a different set of values. In American HS, the values are sexual promiscuity, athleticism, narcisism, rebelion, and rudeness. Nerds are many times those who just don't value these. And as should be obvious, the appeal of the internet, especially to nerds, is that people are not forced into groups by their physical location, but instead are allowed to join groups which share their values.

That ones actually pretty reasonable.
Well, add my keys, a pen a pencil, my cell phone, my sunglasses, any paper/etc...
These players are great. If I wanted a nice big music player I'd chomp down on this fast, but 4.5x2.5x1.5 (not exact) is a bit big to just throw in my pocket considering the size of some of the players out there.
I'm happy that companies are starting to tune digital music players for the linux crowd and starting to get ogg support on them, but would it kill to have a small, no frills player that can play vorbis files?

Then there will never be a gyorg downloading from them.
I second that. Distribute a windows and a linux client and I bet the thing takes off 10x faster.
It's not about apple just ripping the music, it's about gaining the rights to it.
go to kde-look.org and look around. They have at least 1 or 2 very good aqua themes.
