    a good way btw to throw the dogs off, is to flood the train with water laced with pot residue.

  4. Just make each CPU a usb stick for $5. on Memristor Minds, the Future of Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    if each core2 or atom cpu could be placed in a small USB stick for $5, then one can build the biggest usb chain with 1000s of $5 usb cpu sticks.

    What we need is any easy was as easy as usb sticks to increase cpu horse power of desktops, without the need for cumversome sockets+fans+sinks. Maybe if each USb stick contained 256 x Z80 cpus, each running at 500mhz, at 500ma, then we could easily allow the freedom to grow. And if we could make multi layer cpus, ie say 100 layers of 256 cpus, that would be some advance. Perhaps we should strive for more quantity of simpler CPUs at optimum mhz speeds. The old 68k cpu was powerful even at 7mhz. Now that same design cpu can be made to run easily at low voltage and at 500mhz easily, but rather than 1, we could have 256 of them, which would be no more complex at 45nm than an atom cpu. GPU style.

    Reminds me of the car company taking the brand new car out of the factory out for a test drive, with perfect odometer checked before hand. They had cruise control etc computers making sure it did not go above 100km/ph, yet they got booked by automatic cameras/speedo equipment under bridges that clocked them doing 106kph.

    Tell me whats illegal and whats fraud then. The driver, or the fucking government twats that do nothing meaningful in their lives but read 800 page reports and believe in them, then sign off on them.

    In my world, one stuff up like that in the speedo/camera company and out goes the contract, get lost. So the state looses 300M in revenue, who cares, the people will LOVE THE govt then.

    I say send the jail the staff and lawyers every one who approved this company as indirect accomplaces. Hey turds, ignorance of the law is not an excuse as some dumbasses say.

  12. Re:A time and place for everything on Enthusiasts Convene To Say No To SQL, Hash Out New DB Breed · · Score: 1

    I would love to some create a massive SQL query which can decode mpeg4 video.
    Yes its a wrong language for the problem, but decoding compressed video is a BIG data manipulation problem.

    I guess what people are saying is that sure SQL might do its job, but it has some arcane stupid syntaxes that look like cobol. The differences between each commercial/OS vendor are large enough as to be anoying.

    What people are looking for is a common language that is vendor neutral, and more modern looking. I guess kind of like OpenGL or DX10, some api/lang set that runs via a driver to the final DB solution. So the database is like a graphics card, separated from the api/language. So its easy to swap vendors.

    This is the key that sucks with SQL, once you commit to one vendor, its hard to escape. Today we have OS nuetral 3d apis, window apis, network apis, sound apis. A truely layered DB api/lang that isnt locked to stone to the vendor? No chance.

  16. Re:these insane usage charges on AT&T's Bad Math Strikes MythBusters' Savage · · Score: 1

    i thought most pages/sites served html.gz which could also compress giant .js to .js.gz

    Isnt this default in setups, so a 300kb html/js could compress to 40kb

    But also phone companies charge bi directionally, so, its html+headers+tcpheaders is counted both ways.

    Some cell companies are now auto recompressing larger jpegs to smaller ones transparently by proxy to make peoples
    web experience nicer.

    It would have been nice if the html protocol supported that and told the server, "send all jpegs at 50% comp" coz im slow.
    Then browsers can be configured for slow connections to appear faster. Specifiying 10% to 90% would be cool for the user to be able to do.
    Or even add a rescale by 2:1 all images coz my screen is small.

    It wouldnt be hard to add that to the browser headers, and add a plugin for apache to be aware of this and peform recomp/resize once and send a cached version.

    Property prices control everything. If rents are $2000/yr, then wages+costs are the highest component.
    If rents to a shop are $90000, then wages represent a smaller portion. Now for a given $19dvd, the shop might take in 30%, taxes for govt are 12-15%, rent is probably 20%, while profits are last.
