Seriously though, earth warming could trigger temporary cooling and redistribution of heat on the globe but you have to remember that the second law of thermodinamics will work hard at countering these variations. To me I think is (actually I am pretty sure that) it is a lot more likely that we get warmer from global warming than cooler. The reagions that get cooler will just have a lesser effect of the warming.
Global warming gets earth warmer which melts the ice which makes earth cooler which makes more ice which is melted by global warming which...

yeah and in some cases if you exagerate in enforcing your trademark, and send C&D when no one is breaking the law. In the future when you realy want to protect your trademark by using letters to someone you already sent exagerated letters, the person can argue than since it received non sensicle letters from your party all letters are void. IAN...
I'n not that familiar with HPC either but I'll try to explain what I know in laymen terms. A cluster is nothing more than a bunch of computer networked together intellegibly with an OS that is capable of seperating tasks between these computer.
Crays on the other acts more like one big computer. Like the cluster, It also has hundred of CPUs but they are all on the same "motherboard" ( if you can call it that). Some of them share memory. The memory is very high speed. (somethimes in configuration equivalent to gigabites of L1 cash) And it often comes with a huge liquid cooling system so that it can be run at high speed. I've seen crays with very cool cooling systems with a running liquid fall on the front of it. Its uses an inert liquid called something like florinert. This liquid flows on the whole "motherboards" and since it is inert it doesn't conduct electricity or react with anything.
Clusters a much cheaper to build, that's why people tend to use clusters, but they can't do everything Crays can.
C++ syntax is almost identical to Java syntax. At least when you don't use some of the more powerfull, weird stuff of C++. (You are not forced to use that stuff) The main difference is garbage collection.
"Java the language != Swing. Go back to school."
Oh so if I only use the features that are easely done in C++ it's fast. Whats the point then?
Sorry don't believe you. Last year I used the IBM websphere IDE and just loading the damn thing without any project took 700 MB of ram. A C++ implementation would never have resulted in that much memory no matter how badly coded it was. (unless you were deliberately trying to take up memory of course). Hell I just verified the memory my Jedit was taking up right now: 40MB! Thats with only 12 relatively small text documents opened. Thats for a text editor! A text editor is the ideal example of an app that shouldn't take much resources.
When I have a lot of java applications running on my computer it becomes less responsive. I never have that problem with native code apps. When my system is low on ressources, the java apps are the first ones that stop working.
I have a 2.6GHz computer with a gig of ram and Java can easily take all of that up. You sir are wearing blindfolds.
I agree. C++ is not that much harder than Java. And it creates code that is much more efficient. I have seen implementation of complex math algorithms than ran in hours in java, and in like 15 seconds in c++.
I rarely code in c++.I use Perl because its faster develloping an d Java sometimes because of the foudation classes. But my application suck, they are bulky, slow, and only mean to be run by me for a school projects.
Those who think Java can be as fast as C++ don't make any sense. Don't you realize that the code must be compiled during the execution?
I don't mind running a few java apps on my system. They use a lot of ressources but thats ok just for a few apps. There are dozens of processes running on my machine. If they were all running Java it would take all my ressources.
I use JEdit as a text editor. It runs flawlesslly in java. But text editors don't need lots of power. I mean text editors written in C ran perfectly on a 386 with 500k ram. For people who say Java is fast, do you think Jedit would run on 386?
I would look at the following technologies: WordNet is well known although not that powerfull. Common sense is really a beta but still its a big database. Cyc is really cool, but not all free. Look at cycL the language they developped.
I think a simple thing like having integrated access to wikipedia articles or dictionny.com from the browser would be cool. Amazon I don't know.
"Killing a man, stealing what he earned, etc are all wrong because we believe them to be morally reprehensible "
No these laws are there to protect each other. It doesn't have much to do with being morally wrong. Its more of an agreement of the sort" if you don't hurt me I won't hurt you.
I mean sure if you go all the way to basic psychology you could argue that I value my own life because of my morals. But I think everyone values its own life because humans are like that. Its hard wired into us.
Its what I heard. I know ive been through the border and this seems excesive. Maybe they only do random verifications. Maybe I shouldn't have quoted hearsay like that. But its believable because some stories made the news. There was that hunter in province of quebec who had a shotgun is his truck. He was just gooing to the corner store across the border. This was in a village in the midlle of nowhere. The border was only garded once in a while. It was in the middle of the woods where the people on each side of theborder where really just one community. That story made the news. I know he had a gun but still, he did stay in a US prison for a month.
Yes you are required to declare your purchases when going across the boarder. Haven't you ever traveled? And since the war on terror has begun the custom don't play nice. If they catch you smuggling laptops across the boarder you'll probably spend a month in prison.
You have been warned.
I live in Canada not far from a US boarder. And we used to go across the boarder all the time to go buy milk, gasoline, go see movies. (These things are cheaper in the US)
But since the war it has been a pain to get across the boarder. It takes forever because they stop a lot of cars for searches.
And from what I hear, people getting arrested are getting disproportionate sentences. I've heard of someone spending a month in prison because when he went in the US he said he would go two specific stores. Then not having found what he was looking for at the two stores he went at a third one. When he came back he declared what he bought and the receipt was from that third store he didn't say he was going to go to. He was charge with lying or something.
I think judges have been instructed to give maximum sentences.
But at lease with prohibition there was some scientific backing that showed alcohol could do damage. It is bad for your health. It can make a person dangerous. etc...
I mean isn't the governement required to do things that are good for society. Where are the studies that shows there is damage done to societies who hear the word fuck?
Where is even the common sense behind that? I'm really wondering. Please someone answer. Isn't it even the opposite? Aren't there even studies that show that not being open about sexuality to kids can lead to psychological problems. Setting a taboo around it can make them feel inadequate about their sexuality later on which can lead to anxiety, fear, relational problems and even trigger worst problems?
There must be some rationel for the government to isue such law, but I fail to see it. Could someone please enlighten me?
That true, there is some weird shit happening to time in general in Star Trek. Did you notice how, all incidents seem to be resolved within an hour of time?
Also they have events that for us in our universe would take much longer than in the Star Trek Universe. The one you mensioned about the communicator is one. But did you also notice poker games last only a few minutes? Same thing with meetings, meals, surgery, war battles, rarely these events last more then 10 minutes whereas here in our universe they would all last hours or days.
And also everyone and everything in the "Star Trek Universe" seem to take a break every ten-fifteen minutes so that the television channels can show us a commercial. Its true! Try to notice next time you watch, after a commercial you never feel like you missed anything. Nothing happened during that time, its almost like time "froze" for that period. Also you'll notice they take more breaks towards the end of the hour maybe its because they get tired.
