I want to order sets of pieces in one color from Lego. Either in a way so that I can specify exactly what I want, or simply "1024 grey pieces".
All the grey pieces will be used to build a huge castle, 4 times as big as the old grey big castle (you know, the good one, witht the lion and red and blue colors).
Lego Rocks! The first present I bought to my son had a Lego label on it. Really boring toy, he never looked at it, but I really love Lego.
I actually rebuild the gray castle with the big pieces a few years ago. I was the best christmas present I've ever gotten, my Amiga 500 included, and I actually feel like playing with it now that I read about it.
However, it had one downside, the castle, and that is that it is to perfect - I've always used it as a castle. All the other stuff, the police station, the fire station, the airport etc, were crashed and used for other stuff. But never the castle. I really love that castle, it was perfect!
I was 9 when we bought a second hand TI PC. I did some basic programming, but at first I didn't understand why my monocrome screen didn't display all the nice colors stated in the ABC 80 basic manual. The fact that I had the wrong book didn't help me to save to disc's either, so all my nice databases over my friends, their phonenumber and nasty secrets had to be reentered every time I started the program. Which was, of course, once, to see that it worked. I picked up the basic, anyway, and some MS-dos.
Those were the days...
(At 11 I got myself an Amiga 500. That's a nice machine)
...cause obviously there is only one guy good at making nice designs, and unfortunately he works for apple.
Why can't microsmurf do something that looks good and doesn't eat megabytes? The msn look-n-feel is kind of childish, I can't take anything that I find on that site serious. And opening my eyes, looking at windows, I'm almost ready to cry.
And what's more annoying than the fact that windows doesn't have Ctrl-K?
This was weird. You're the first poster and still you write something interesting? What happened to the good old "I'm the first poster" posts? I think I'm getting old...
My university has a student team as well....

· Score: 2, Interesting
...for the last year students at the IT-engineering program, and have had so for a couple of years now.
Pretty pictures of their two robots: http://www.robocup.it.uu.se/
3G buisness... I don't think I'll worry too much about something as stupid as that... as if any 3g-network provider would build a system that didn't generate traffic... they want traffic, that's where they make their money...
Wasn't there an article here (or was it on www.idg.se (swedish idg site)) about some researchers on ibm or hp that made a similar thing with emails send within a company? The interesting (and yet not surprising) conclusion was that groups that you could extrude from the email data also was the informal groups that existed in the company irl. The most usefull outcome of this, would hence be for the company to understand how it actually was organized, and also a tool to determine key persons in those groups.
Technical:
It is a bit interesting, actually. I just wonder when his program will collapse, what the upper limit of number of users are.
I mean, this is a classical data-mining problem.
Philosophical / Paranoia:
When techniques like these functional enough to really work on large amounts of users, it's going to be candy for Big Brother.
They can just look at the graph over the people doing unwanted stuff and remove the spiders of those webs (the leaders of those underground networks). I think this is a great example of how important it is for us to develop freenet techniques.
Sending my best software ideas to Microsoft isn't the first thing I would do, patent or no patent. But anyway, there might be some supergenious to be found at kindergarten that you can ask. I mean, the kid must be young enough to have missed Netscape, and childish enough to trust the dev-l ehrm microcrush.
Like someone said at Digital Illusions: "when 90% of the work is done, 90% remains". Maybe he's not that good at calculus, but he has a point.
It's much more fun to start on a new project, or to add extra features, than to make those existing ones work perfectly.
After all movies, books and news I've read and seen I guess it's an understatement to say that I don't really trust the government at all time. If the people in charge wouldn't ever misuse information for their own good, then it'd be ok with no privacy.
However, I've heard that some people actually do cheat to get advantages of their own.
... I don't like the piracy either. Not that I care if someone downloads illegal copies of something, but I do care when people download tons of shit that they don't listen to or look at. Since it's sort of "free" to download stuff, the collector instinct in many people awakes, and people starts downloading stuff like freaks.
I only have to look at the local network, some people actually download episodes of Dawson's creek.
I wouldn't care if it didn't hurt me, but it does, when the bandwidth is all used by movies and music and the ping is lower than on a modem. I can't use the web properly and I can't use emacs and it's likes remotely, since it's to slow. I think it's time for charging people per megabyte. Not much, only so that they don't download all that crap.
And about the music industry. I can't help but thinking about all the people working for minimum wage when I hear rockstars complain about how people are stealing from them. Come on, you're rich as it is, no need for being greedy. Maybe the piracy is a way of telling the music industry that people actually don't think that the work a band put's into a record is worth millions and billions.
Besides, the record industry takes most of the money anyway and turns it into shit.
Next time when I download some music, I'll send 10 cents to the artist and buy 10$ worth of manure.
I've also grown tired of that strange thing called "bookmark" and the "world wide web", so whenever I find something interesting on the web, I print it and put it in my bookshelf. ...
It's not very strange that a company patents their ideas. Maybe they just patent the technology in case it turns out to be usefull in some other way, than stopping a handfull of overclocking geeks.
I mean, just how much can Intel possible care about us? Companies didn't care much about us when we refused to change to ie either... so I don't think they'll do anything that costs money just to prevent some maniac overclocking his pc using some weird south-korean cryo technology...
Isn't Tekken and games like it Beat 'Em Up's? Because in Tekken it sure looks as if the characters gets a good beating, and you see the characters from the side, so I'd say that Beat 'Em Up's are still alive (and, off course, kicking)
Btw, how come that all nerds always fights with that little chinese girl, Ling Xina-whatever... a lot of built-up sexual frustration?
This must be a good example of the old "wow, I came up with a strange idea that worked, so I guess I have to build the device now"-law. It's silly. Why aren't there an organization called "inventors with social conscience" or something like that.
Nope, I don't have Dawson's crack on my hd, but on dc, you can see all the shit that people store, and at some point must have downloaded from the internet.

Well, I didn't mean that this pretty harmless piece of software is going to be used like that, but similar, more advance surveilance program might...

Wops I did it again... I missed the old "backspace" button and hit "return" instead... The comment wasn't finished, and now I can't change it... sorry

Why didn't ID software patent the 1st person shooter? It would've saved humanity from loads of crappy doom-clones.

Does this mean that M$ finally fixed their 90 minute auto-reboot bug/feature?
