With printed paper you don't even need to buy licences and hardware to read it.
Just remember paper is free (as in speach) to read.
Electronic, computer handled readings and material as internet does enable is subject to too much format changes and digital contrôl from peers.
Television as a stream media vanish itself just after it was broadcasted unless you record it and then you can not expect the information to live very long or be in a worable standard more the a few years.
Internet is very young, that's why it may be inpossible to give an accurate answer about how long the information will survive in it.
By the way, if printed paper is a good place for information to stay long, internet able you to exchange information interactively and quickly.
Thus I think internet and printed newspapers overlap the same rules and needs for readable short living informations. If printed books will remain the media of choice for long life and archiving informations, plain old printed newspapers will change drastically and dissapear.
Television and internet overlap the information stream needs. Cinema eated part of theaters. Television eated part of cinema. Internet will eat part of Television.
Well, it possibly is, you overestimated my ability to search and investigate anything effisciently before posting.
Or is it just that you felt so much presumptions on my abilities, that you went stright, telling I'm wrong wethout lightning up the fact a little more.
Try taking some time to enlighten everyone when you point in someone wrongness, ok?
gcc is able compile self. Does java compile itself?
I guess, it does not. What's the point after all? Running russian headstock or nested machines may be more funny than usefull with actual computer technologies. It may come a day where complexity involved in computing will require layering abstraction at machine level. Having distributed and nested machines would allow massive mutualization of computing power wihile smoothing technology decay and waste while mainting constant evolution.
Having the java source available to universites, students and research projects, may lead to grow new trends like this.
I tend to think theses consumer devices sells mostly to users just willing to use them plain.
What is the proportion of hobby hackers, buying theses devices and choosing Linux based ones with stright intention to actualy hack them ?
Do average consumer care much about the nick names of the internal componants they don't even know about it to be there ?
This thing has an operating system ? (Oh great, and how do I enable this function ?)
And it even run Linux inside you know ?! (Well, I just need to watch and record video and music)
Well, it may look a squewed point here.
Who buy what and, what are the consumers IBM is looking at ?
Wouildn't hacker be more satisfyed with these nices open sources projects, like MythTv, Freevo or VDR loaded in a custum mini-itx home build media center ?
As of now, I'm not sure if selling stuffs for hackers is relevant for IBM.
Why 9/11 could happen ?
Maybe because someone inside US wanted this to happen in order to justify that war against terrorism, Irak and Afganistan.
It was know by CIA and Echelon may have helped somehow but someone indeed, did not want to act against it to happen.
Or may be it can be used to protect from projectiles (bullet proof).
As the projectile hit the liquid surface with significant speed and energy, it tur rapidly into heat. Then the projectile enconter increasing resistance as it enter the material. As the material solidify and the heat propagate, it may dissipate the pressure from a single point to a very large surface.
Basically I thought of this as an inertia wheel parallel to the rear running wheel.
The intertia wheel does not need to weight much to store consistant energy. It just have to turn fast. Practically, the intertia wheel is part of a generator. It doesn't need to have a fastened axis. It must be well wheighted and the spires must run in a very precise path and be resistant to extension due to the acceleration forces involved when turning fast.
This principle bring some significant advantages: - You slow down to the next stop by transfering your cynetic energy to the wheel. - As you stop, you continue pedaling, thus maintaining and increasing the speed of the intertia wheel generator. - As you start again, you realease already stored energy.
Just think of current 3D data stored for years. X3D like any properly designed XML will remain understandable and usable for ages even if the applications designed to use it decayed a long time ago.
Even if you dont have the specs you can guess the organisation and signification of the data in an XML document. It is much harder to decode and guess a binary document afterward when specifications and implementations are lost.
By the way, if X3D was expected to hire 3D data for games, I feel clueless on the expected gain this choice should bring.
An open XML format like X3D is not for usual storage or keeping internal 3D data.
This is to enable a standard and easy to parse interchange and long term archive format for 3D data.
Implementation specific 3D data may still be of any internal format suited for any specific application and hardware.
Plugin specific and parametric 3D data can easyly be later integrated in the X3D document by using namespaces. That makes much sense that way.
Think of XML as an alienX<--->alienZ protocol where aliens may be computer programs, humans, or whatever outerspace yet to be known data processing enabled entity.
When I read and edit an xml document. Do you realy belive it is stored and computed in XML in my brain internals ? (who knows ?;)
You sure don't play with Nvidia or VIA. Some hardwares are known to give famous low level lockups on Linux.
Commercial hardware designers try to hide broken implementations due to short timelines and money, with strong IP restrictions on oopen source interoperability and by obscure software ticks.
Commercial software manufacturers try to hide broken implementations due to short timelines and money, with strong IP restrictions on interoperability and obscure hardware DRM tricks.
Maybbe it is time for Open and Free Hardware or GNU Hardware to get in line with Open and Free software.
Then we got Prodos for//c and//e (worked nice on vanilla ][+ but required an 80columns card)

I couldn't find any decent Apple][ emulator for current Linuxes. I keep my old hardware clean an in good working conditions, praying for it not to fail.
AS a visually impaired person born with a loke low resolution retina. I can say that I used this ton compensate my disability to see details if not near enough.
My brain compensated this by applying a continous eye movment (nystagmus). This allow my brain to get several low resolution moving pictures and be able to compute the missing sharpness and details.
Many born visually impaired have this nystagmus as some compensation.
I'am glad this become a mathematically and scientifically analyzed process. This is great it get some practical use. This remind me of the pictur analysis and filtering applyed to Hubble when it was known is main mirror could not focus correctly.

I am sure I can win the super X-Prize when pigs can fly.
How many of these colourfull helium filled baloons do I need to make a pig fly ?
Alternatively it should be nice attaching enough of these to a cow. (don't do this in India).

No one thought humans would take a close look at an object that fahr.
So, to save memory and computing power, they did a sketchy planet with small and blured texture in it.

Where you cool the city by transporting heat to the cold water.
Then the heated water has to dissipate its heat first before entering the homes again.
Where is the heated water supposed to dissipate, so as you wont heat again the homes you just cooled ?
Oh yes I see
Put the hot water in the fridsge or add some ice before use. That way it all turn bak to using refrigering the old way.
The above comment is very pertinent and informative.
I would mod this up as insightfull.

To achieve total replacment of current non-DRM hardware they will just give DRM hardware for free or ridiculous price and get the reward from content.

We are still using 8 bits computers in many devices. Btw a date format is independant of the cpu data and adresse bus bits size.
I am pretty sure we will still widely use 32 bits computers in many devices in 2038. Many devices will have IPv6 address, hostname and timestamps.
