I ment swapping primitive types. Surely one can wrap them in a class in Java and do similar things, but it cost performance and memory...

To clarify the difference between pointers and references can you write swap(a,b) function in Java that swaps a and b?:
int a=3; int b=5; swap(a,b);// a=5, b=3 now
It is easy to do with pointers in C/C++: void swap(int* aPtr, int* bPtr) {
int tmp = *aPtr;
*aPtr = *bPtr;
*bPtr = tmp; }
"Google cluster actually has 100,000 servers"
"More than half the company's 1,000 employees are techies"
=> Googles has 100 servers/employee
=> Google is IT company
Since only two stanford researchers tossed the coin their experiment is intrinsically biased. Unbiased statistical analysis would require hundreds of stanford statistitians to toss the coin...
Some small set of telemetry data is the most obvious signal any spacecraft should send by default - such as power system and antennas status, sensors etc.
I don't buy that "NASA says it has been unable to get significant data back from the Mars Spirit rover for 24 hours" - no data at all or some telemetry data that already indicate what is wrong with the rover and just hiding it from the public.
Also why they are so scary of rebooting it - at least this situation should of been designed into the rover and thought of many times before.
Can anybody explain how reboot works remotely on rover? It is not one processor, isn't it?!

"If you fly lower, you'll make more orbits per day" not really significant effect.
If apply Kepler's law (1619) - "The squares of the periods... are proportional to the cubes of semimajor axes" - lowering the orbiter by 300km over Mars which has polar radius 3397km will make only ~(300/3397)^3/2 ~15% more orbits per day... at the same time risking to hit the surface.
No, humans actually have very slow cpu inside their had - it will take you at least a second to read this post...
It is very specialized one though. I am not sure that term CPU is applicable at all - you can train human to multiply large numbers and develop cpu-like abilities but it will be damn slow.
The top500 list was made by running the benchmark that solves a dense system of linear equations. Though this test can be relevant for the centers like #1 "Earth Simulator Center", #2 #3 Los Alamos and #4 #5 Lawrence labs - they are doing exactly that - who can tell me how relevant it is for Charles Schwab, Verizon, AT&T and Bell South ?!!! These guys are just running portals accessing huge databases, aren't they?
It seems that the test is self-serving: the Earth Center is doing complex simulations - and it is #1 on the test that is designed exactly for that.
Imagine different computer center - millions of clients are making requests for specific data or knowledge that requires complex data search and sometime small computations. What would be relevant is a test that measures how many simultaneous requests the center can handle (in the millions per second) and latency for each such request (in milliseconds). I guess that the Earth Center, or national lab performance score will be much worse.
So I wonder how relevant top500 list is to the real power of a cumputer cluster that people need?
It is intresting to note that Nikitin's paper has no reference of Dunwoody work at all, most references are dated to 1920s-1960s. Is it just my observation or general feeling about the spirit in the field of mathematics?
If so it is not surprizing that Noebel has not mentioned mathematitians in his will and we don't have Noebel Prize in Mathematics.
So, who got $1M prize or this publication @slashdot is just marketing campain with the goal of getting one?
The point is not who is the easy target. Using your analogy how can you go after the hitman if all hitmen are employed by police? It would be so easy to to stop spammers - just fine them 1 cent for any objected unsolicited mail - one that people report as spam to their ISP... If somebody writes 100 unsolicited emails asking about job interview - potential liability is $1; for aspammer with $1 billion emails liability would be in the $100k range and make it unprofitable. Why then there is no legislation like that?!
To my view spammers are just middlemen. Companies that hire them are real cause of spam. And any legislation would be to go against their interests - isn't that obvious? This is why your list of guidelines that you propose will never be the law unless there is another powerful interests like AOL or like that will lobby for them. Money is the law.
Spam kills the internet.
Hmmm... Video games have the same relationship to AI as any game - zero. Good games put you in a new situtation that you would never experience in real life - sort of what if situations. Your brain suppose to learn from this - but after playing video games people just got exhausted... Example of that kind of games were known for a long time - take card games for instance. Don't you mean that card games "claim artificial intelligence?".
Hello Dr Wallace,
Do you see any connection between AI and the principles of cellular authomata developed by Dr Wolfram (A New Kind of Science), especially his so called principle of computational equivalence? According to such principle any AI implementaiton will be an instance of some cellural automata, so to say. Your opiniion on this subject.
Mmmm... how long did it take you to make "analysis with commertial profiler" that user input takes most of the time?! Isn't it "application response time" important paramer here, not overall time? If you please tell the name of you company so I can short the stock...
You forgot radiation term that goes as 4-th power of frequency += G*f^4, G- is the defined by the geometry factors... You hit this limit as you go to ~GHz clock speed.
By the way since cell phones work at about this frequency it would be innivative to combine handheld that operates at ~1GHz with cell phone - only then you can get some good from handhelds.
The article doesn't mention other companies in the same sector like globalstar that is doing the same but much better than iridim? It doesn't have a single word about g-star - it looks like cheating. Be reasonable... or don't publish.
Samizdat is a russian word and in Sumizdat people never published anything for profit as your site is trying to do. No wonder that it doesn't attract any links except through AltaVista that is fitted to your needs. Bad for AltaVista... I vote for Google.
>>"we extended our c++ client program with JNI. The client program then called a local wrapper class that used RMI"
THAT SUCKS! Such program is fragile, non-portable, pain to support and debug, no fault tolerance and load balancing available with CORBA, not extendable... As an architectural solution it is ugly...
Well, who said that?:
"At not even 28 years old, I'm already a lead developer and have people with twenty years more experience looking to me for coding hints and tips"
Baby, you have some problems communicating with
other developers in addition to your gigantic ego. In real life you are neither developer nor architect:)

Right! And then space Shuttle can be carried beneath, not on top of a Boeing cargo plane that transports them from the west to the east coast.
The main question are two Boeing planes passing close by will attract or repell from each other? That's the 1-st question on their program's list.
