I think hatred is too storng a word, but jealousy is correct, and what's wrong with that? China is determined not to be dependant on the west, good for them.
It's hard to get details out of that silly flash site, but I did find this gem on the 'business' site;
If you believe that 8-to-5 should be more than a black hole in your life, Neonode is the place where you should spend it. If you want to attack the average usual, kick it and stomp on it until it gives in and becomes something better, more useful, nicer and cooler than it was, then you are a friend of ours.
IIRC correctly, that tech was limited to 1200 baud. I'm not going back to 56k, nevermind 1200.
As a hack, if you have one of those phones, you can just unscrew the ends of the handpiece to expose the wires and splice in a rj45. You should be able to get a good enough contact to see 56k.
Hmmmm, nobody seems to have noticed that this is a repost. The posted link simply links to the previosly posted link. Oh well.
Anyway, when the computer you're building requires a 'refurbished' motherboard made by Apple, it's not quite the same thing, is it? It's interesting, but wake me up when someone gets Auqa running on a generic G4 reference board.
Libraries are usually licensed under the LGPL, which allows calls to it without GPLing the caller. Your reasoning largly stands though, because of legal gray areas in the LGPL that would scare of a company like Apple.
You're correct that the HQ has recently been moved to Cali. EA was started in Vancouver though, and the Vancouver office is still by far the largest EA campus. EA has also recently comitted to another huge development project in Vancouver, so it looks like EA will be a presence in Van for a while to come, yet.
The networks DHCP servers hand off unix boxen to a different subnet without the sniffing problem. So it's not because of Unix's design, but of the networks design.
most of the 'knowledge' about flying isn't in that tiny butterfly brain anyway, it's hardwired into the nervous system. The wings flap so fast that the delay of sending impulses all the way to the brain and back all the time would be too big.
I agree. But taken as a whole, the butterflys nervous system contains a behavorial complexity that simply can not be delivered by MIPS, or any other deconstructionest viewpoint.
Ok, to clarifly; I think this problem, or almost any other AI problem, _can_ be solved by this aproach, just not in a efficient way (like NP hard kind of efficient ) Intelligent behaviour arises directly out of the relationships of parts, not out of any real ability of the parts.
You say your watch is about as smart as a butterfly. Let's see it fly to Mexico and get laid.
In the end, I think you might just be able to get a Casio watch to pilot a butterfly, but it's going to take a lot more insight than some high speed photographs.
There is no way that anyone is going to build an autonomous device that uses the same techniques as a butterfly for a long time.
The butterfly has had hundreds of millions of years to develop it's flight model. It's just not as simple as 'wings shaped like this, that flap like this'. It's about the finely tuned control mechanisim (in this case, butterfly brain) that controls the speed, angle, force, curvature etc, of the wings that counts.
This reminds me of people who keep insisting Moores Law will deliver us a smart computer soon. I could wait forever, but hyper threading technology is never going to say something smart.
It also reminds me of a joke; What's the last thing that goes through a bugs mind as it hits a windshield? It's ass.
This failure 'was the fourth failure of an Ariane 5 rocket in its 14-mission history'
When the recent Rusian launch failed it was a 'Huge Faliure', 'A Terrible Blow'. etc.. Admitedly it was a big sattelite, but the Russian's success rate in space is better than anyones. This makes the ESA look pretty stupid.

You missed Unreal Tournament 2003, released with a Linux version from day one.
Thanks man. Very helpful post. I knew about 1/2 of 'em.

What??
Dude. You just got me really hot and exited. Where has this been?
This link is worthy of a /.ing. To all the folks talking about the about the DMCA,if your talk isn't here, it isn't going to mean shit.
Yes it is. And has been for years.

In another bit of humor; It's ironic that homophobes can't even get the terminology right. They should just stick with 'fag' and play it safe.
Sourceforge is down for maintenence at the moment, but there is a doom+OpenGL,etc hack going on. Havn't tried it, but the screenshots look cool.

I live in Vancouver, the home of EA. EA does make their own games, seemingly EA/Sports mostly, as EA jocks are a dime a dozen around here.
It's just too bad you didn't read the article. Of course it's powered flight.
Two sentence fragments, two spelling mistakes, it's simple english.

Something about you feeling real good about mechanical butterflies just warms my heart right now. Merry Christmas.

Google defines 'best practice'. Google is the best thing on the web, bar none. Google, my friends, is God.
Google sets was one of the best ideas on the web that I've ever seen. I don't care if it's beta, I use it all the time.
This link has the Soyuz launches back to '96. It shows one failure. I don't doubt that during the cold war, faliures were covered up, though.
When the recent Rusian launch failed it was a 'Huge Faliure', 'A Terrible Blow'. etc.. Admitedly it was a big sattelite, but the Russian's success rate in space is better than anyones. This makes the ESA look pretty stupid.
You might be correct, but just watch Apple sell a million of these.
