i ment a very low level movement, like that they know they are there, they can move them but do not how to control the movement etc.. i doubt babies are all relaxed not moving except for their eyes & mouth etc... when they are born...
Ok, i haven't watched a single birth nor have children, i'm 18 now so it isn't that point in my life just yet... Although i have watched a lot of my cousins to grow, i have 7 cousins on my mothers side and oldest is 7 years younger than i am... duh, i'm going off topic here, sorry for that....
But all i'm trying to say that even i have not watchehd that closely i still know that they do move somehow & a little bit and i ment that movement, they try but they do not know exactly how to control the movements.
And yes there are sometimes these who aren't breathing when they are born etc... it's just the chaos of life (read: randomness), dunno what makes it that way but anyways...
I thought about similar things several months ago... But the problem was for me getting the licenses to burn & sell music & get enough burners to supply the demand that would have been, as my budget was only few hundred euros to try... so i went for something else, i had allready nearly completely, i bought a server (damn i got it cheap, even tho it is a duron 1.1ghz, i got the whole thing with 256mb ram & 80gb hd for total price of ~240euros nearly everything has warranty still on).
I just wish thehre were somebody selling demoscene music on cdr's also =D And this would expand to europe etc... if the prices are low enough, like 10euros per cd + few euros for shipping & handling there will be very high demand i think.... you've could order customized software cds including patches, demos etc... for sometime now and it's finally time to get music also =D
My bet is that it is both the 'hardware/processor' and software what makes intelligence.
ie. human brains has some premade 'functions' when we born for some very simple things, like moving body parts, breathing, heart beating etc... etc...
The AI if it is done and it's working it should pay for the electricity to keep it alive it is individual 'computer' or if running in some supercomputer (no special processor needed or something) then for both it's own part of electricity and cpu time.
If everything is saved to a hard disk or equivalent and then closed down, put back up, it would continue if everything inside cpu cache(s) etc... is restored also.
We do not have a working prototype even so talking about this is kinda stupid, let the future show us =D
Something similar has been tried here in finland, that corp went to bankruptcy back in 1996. Or thats what i've heard, never visited any of their gaming 'heavens'.
Basicly same idea except they had just normal gaming pcs networked together, no spectator seats etc... Of course, gaming is a lot more 'appreciated' today, more players, better multiplayer games etc... Might work today in big cities with enough customers.
yeah, theyll still take ~18USD more per year than the domain is, prolly that covers all the other expenses also and makes some little profit also.
You can get a domain as low as ~7USD per year... as a reseller.
I'm just starting my own corporation, with web design & hosting services. So this one came at very good time for me to see what people are really paying for. Nope, i do not offer dedicated hosting although, and currently everything is hosted on pretty sucky connection (512/256) but will be changed on nearby months to 2Mbps/512Kbps or 1Mbps/1Mbps for starters, depends on which i get the upstream relative cheaper.
Currently i offer mainly to those whom i've designed web pages but others are allways welcome, and i try to charge low. Basic package is 5e/month + small setup fee (setup fee is ment to cover future service expansion, administering costs, initial tech support costs... yes they tend to call me 'how this thing works?') and basic service includes 50mb hd quota, 1gb bw quota, 1 vhost, ftp access. I have made a prices list page quickly to http://hosting.czn.ath.cx, this site only contains prices, tech support contacts etc... for now. The real thing is being built atm. The real 'beginning' will be beginning of next year when i change the connection is changed and domains will be finally available then. (Nope, not yet available, i'm having trouble with my current ISP, etc...) and currently we do not keep any hard limits for the service, get the basic service and use ie. 75mb of hdd, not a big thing.
Yeah this is more like an ad than comment, sorry for that.
Well monopolies will be surely very mad for Sony about this, they might even try to find a way to sue them for anything. Instead, Small manufacturers will be partying today, tomorrow, and day after that, cause they will finally have some 'edge', as customer can choose the box itself and small manufacturers might get their boxes sold more often. =) Sony go go!
to make them to 'hum' could be possible,
but i think there will be a market share (although small) for 'vibration tones';)
Lets see whos first to try that!;)
Heh, nice for the impaired, good thing there is allways people developing things like this. Tho this one must be expensive but does the impaired ones care as in many countries the gov. pays for the aiding stuff like this, wheel chairs etc...
My friend is impaired and gov pays nearly everything, in some small things he must pay his own part.
AMD has been only decent competition for Intel,
and as AMD leaves Intel can bid even more for their processors, even they wouldn't be goddamn expensive allready.
So in a few years we won't paying a hundred to few hundred euros for our cpus, we will be paying thousands and not getting much more.
Well, it wouldn't be wise not to put Hammers on the sale soon, hope AMD will still continue fast R&D on cpus and keep prices down.
Or this could just be a PR trick also, announcing a thing like that might make some people think they focus on the server side, and perhaps make Intel think 'Phew, got rid of them there, whEEE!!!' and Intel drops some R&D doing desktop specific research and boom! AMD suddenly release next gen CPU;)
I have 512/256 for 64e/month with no caps, i used to have 512/512 for 56e/month without caps but i moved out of the working area. so i can up 66,74Gb per month and download 133,48Gb, that makes roughly 0,33c per gb transferred. expensive connection =( Planning to move on 2Mbps/512kbps without transfer limits and 100e/month.
More big corps support Linux, that better linux becomes if as long the corps doesn't try to control kernel development, only use the benefits of helping them.
This is very strategic move from OSDL and IBM cause it helps a lot of linux kernel development thus getting patches faster and because kernel gets better & stabler IBM gets more systems sold with Linux.
Besides Linux needs more corps supporting, because it's they key to Linux grow, i've found using linux a bit of hard because some corps doesn't support linux, biggest problems i've had with Linux is that my printer and scanner isn't supported and some applications what i need simply aren't there, for example Adobe Photoshop, GIMP is simply total crap when compared to Photoshop, even GIMP is very good basic image manipulation software and i prefer GIMP over Paint shop pro for example.
Next biggest problem i had was the thing i was unable to play many games under Linux, only Quakes, Unreal tournament and few others when i'd liked to play Counter-Strike, Capitalism II etc... Emulating simply isn't the way to do it.
I know it's old news that IBM supports linux but this bug tracker might help those corps which haven't done any native Linux ports before and thus some corps starts supporting Linux, and again when more software comes to Linux IBM gets more systems sold and more people start using Linux.
I just wonder where are all those overclockers who use Linux, i found Linux way more better when i was OC'ng even i couldn't change FSB etc... by software, my old system booted fine at over 1700Mhz to Linux as under wind0ze it left me ~1670Mhz at a good day (1.33Ghz TBird air cooled)
Oh yeah, i tried to stay on topic but i just had to say some other things also:-)
thats exactly what i've been thinking for like 6 months now, i was just going to post about that but decided to read a few more replies and saw your one.
I have sometimes quite a lot of processor power to spare here, now i have exactly 1.53Ghz, next week i'll haw 2.83Ghz, and few weeks after that i will have 3.93-4.23Ghz to spare when not used, the reason for right now havingh only 1.53Ghz to spare is that i sold out all old computers for good cash to buy cheaper & faster hardware for it, hell i can rip off 200 euros of a 400Mhz K6-2, 64Mb ram, couple gigs of hd and other basic junk except monitor, keyb & mouse and i've only paid like 50e for that, and in exchange when i bother to wait a week or two i can assembly a duron box, 1.3ghz, 128-512mb ram, some kind of cheap hd, cheap case & PSU etc... for 200-300euros, depends do i have a good week in finding used hardware which still has warranty left.
i wish i could rent my processing power to someone =) then it would perhaps worth of having spare puters around the house as they get used only like ones in a week.
that study is misinformation, i live in finland and here we have A LOT of unhabitant land, this is from CIA factbook:
Irrigated land:
640 sq km (1998 est.)
Area:
total: 337,030 sq km
water: 31,560 sq km
land: 305,470 sq km
Population:
5,183,545 (July 2002 est.)
that leaves 0.05 sq km per citizen, seems like here we use a lot of land per citizen, assuming 83% is used here leaves us with 253,540 sq km, that leaves us with 48 sq m per citizen, but how many of us actually owns any land, especially whats being used for something? perhaps 5%?
i doubt they are being accurate, so many of us lives in flats, the building itself uses like 200 sq m of land space but habitats tens of families (assuming building is 5 or 6 storey buildings.)
i didn't bother to check out any other countries. proof me wrong if you think that study is being accurate.
I wonder the final score of their enermax, it goes just about between others, being in the middle, but at the last score board it's nearly last! only over the failed powersupplies which got 0%.
I really wonder how they RATE their powersupplies, it is specified to be 350W powersupply which deliver s 389W so i think it's something else than crappy, it has variable speed fan control among other things.
I actually own a Enermax EG365P-VE powersupply which has been very good, is AMD approved having two fans, and yet still it isn't making much noise. Yes they have EG365AX-VE model, they have two of those on the specs screen, WHY DO THEY DIFFER from each other? huh, i'll say you what THG isn't neutral judge, even the TASK supply which claimed to give out 300W and gave out only 204W was rated higher, this is definately last time i read a review or test from THG Lab, if they cannot see which one is better. Huh, next time they prolly take a 20USD cheap powersupply which claims to give 250W delivers 150W and wins the comparison.
THG Lab has lost it's value in my eyes. They apparently aren't professionals even many would claim something else.
that thermaltake case is nearly exactly like my
case, my case just doesn't have the window, is different color(blue/electric blue) without logos, and doesn't have a hole on the 'door' for front panel, which is also missing from my case.
Inside is exactly the same according to the pictures @ thermalmasters. Although this Thermaltake case looks more awesome than the
Chieftec one it is more expensive, also this
Chieftec case i have can be get cheaper if you
take the Black version, it does not include the
fan at side.
So if you are budget i recommend selecting
Chieftec instead of Thermaltake case.
if anyone is intrested i can also post pictures
of my Chieftec case.
Come on slashdot this is old news. the 'investigation' is new but the news of the reducing warranty is not.
They apparently need to reduce their costs, besides never harddrives aren't as good as old one. Except perhaps for Western Digital, i had two of those, first bought 96 and second 97, both were 1.6gb and both blew sametime with no apparent reason, and this isn't the only occasion i've heard Western Digital's hd's go out like that.
New IBM HDs then? Well many have said their ibm hd just broke down pretty soon, this was as about sametime as IBM started to lower their HD prices. I trusted before for IBM making very good HDs, now i'm not sure. (/me is hoping not to hold a dead IBM hd anytime soon on his hands...;)
Good news is that SCSI drive warranties will be kept up and also some IDE drives like Maxtor MaXLine serie hds.
And for modder fun: i had this one reported on my site 1st day of October;) and this time i can offer timestamp for anyone asking it;)
His cooling simply sucks! althou it is quiet BUT, i have Athlon XP 1800+ overclocked to 1629Mhz (original 1533Mhz), with an oold Swiftech heatsink (all aluminum and smooth 'sticks'), and CPU temp under full load is 42-44C, idle is 33-34C, yes, my puter keeps a loud noise, but not too loud to sleep right by it, i keep it on 24/7. (my puter is in my bedroom.). and on 100% CPU load 24/7.
I have no special mods, no ducts, etc... and i can easily sleep next to it still =)
Althou, thats a very nice mod but we've seen similar mods before, not finished this fine before but anyways, check finnish modding sites and i should bump into couple similar systems. I really like the finishing and how it fits his desk tho ^_^ Very nice =) (Like well done work just about allways=)
I would sell it for a big company for like 2-5 years for initially a nice sum of cash and royalties of their product, after that i'd release the code in NON ready to use format and sell shareware copies of it for 1 year, then i'd release the whole program.
Non ready form = only algorithm not programs itself to use it, thus open source community would come up with their own apps etc... to use it. this second step can be left out and release all of it at that time tho, it wont give so much cash anyway that it would matter a lot.
Even Linux is cheap the distribution maker companies will get nice revenues from them, afterall according to the study roughly 27% are bought. even they don't have to buy a single copy if they don't want to.
Also like Red Hat has their learning center stuff etc... that will make them a lot of money from companies trying Linux first time and putting their staff to courses to make sure they can really handle the stuff.
Linux being free is also a VERY large benefit to companies, it easies to deploy even more systems and leaves more money to buy more servers and/or bandwidth making their services better which makes them even more money =) which also makes more money to Linux (even being free) because they will want to support Linux and buy some copies more, use more learning services about Linux.
and not to forget saying that CEO will be very pleased with the savings. There is nothing better than Linux on price:quality ratio and i think there won't be for a LONG time =)

you can see pics of the on page 6, http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/other/silent_
they have cheaper thermaltake cases also, they include still the front panel. Thermalmasters does not say is the side fan included or not, it came with Chieftec.
