  1. string theory and multiverse.... on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    why cant we just accept that there is a multiverse and 81 trillion copies of the universe with different combinations, like sliders, but perhaps 99% of these are very very close to each other with little differences.

    At the local level - like which human marries which human and which on elives might be totally different in many multiverses, but the big picture of stars/galaxies, they most likely all are all there exactly the same in 99.99% of all multiverses....

    So go back in time, change it, kill all the popes or all important people and the future is different, but its your future, but the orignal past of that future is still the same, because its just the same atoms aranged in different ways. From the atoms point of view time travel is no big deal, things change, who cares... but from ours POV yeah, heaps can change. But supernova still will happen - we cant "STOP" those.

    All paradoxes die once you accept that when each time you go back in time, you traverse a different "TREE" of the 4th dimmension so that when you go forward you never go back to your original branch - but a different one.

    THe concept of multiverse isnt too bad, its just the same atoms aranged in different 'location spaces' ie. same time different space. Each time you go back - you 'fork()' a new clone of the universe or a new branch that is unique to your timeline, or from the point you entered. Which overall for the whole universe might still be 99.999999% the same as the one you left, except what you change can be uniquely different for you, but not ever end up the same as the place where you came from.Just different patterns of traffic on the roads causing different people to live or die can have massive outcomes for the whole humanity down the 'road'.

    Butterfly effect.

    Multiverse, thats the secret to explaining all paradoxes.

  2. "lack of meaningful error messages" on Jamie Zawinski Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I hate detest lame ass coders who dont put enough error messages, I dont care how cool or tight or smart your algo is, if it can fail in 50 points with only a -1 return it still SUCKS.

    Things can and will fail, so please add support for lots and lots of status logs/histories and drop out error messages written in english not "im half asleep at 3am coding this POS so ill make a shitty error msg"

    Now the mac isnt perfect either, it still has lame stupid ass -2343 error messages. Its not like its short on HD space to store any, if your short, then get a clue, store the error.msg.xml file as a .gz file and learn to use gzread()

  4. Re:Patents last too long... on More Patent Worries for Mobile Phones · · Score: 2, Informative

    no, plenty of non-usa companies invent good stuff, ie in australia and uk and japan... but again they find it hard to hit the US market because US businesses are so US centric and only like to deal with other US companies, that was our experience, until you have a US office in the bay with a 1800# and a american accent.

    Its the business deals and partnerships which are HARD to do if your not american, thats why american cmompanies like amazon work because they GET THE DEALs.

    Good tax incentives help too, which some countries totally dont do well, "MORONS"

  9. IBM did help the germans '40s..... go figure.... on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    What did you expect

    IBM cares about #1 $$$$$, no matter how evil their customer, because at the end of the day, IBM is even MORE evil. They are a money whore. IBM during '30 to '44 could have helped the alies and hindered/ruined the germans, but didnt care...

    How in hell do you think the germans found all the jews and 1/2 jews and 1/4 and 1/16th jews, even tho they were 3/4 christian. (yes most of the killed 'jews' were really less than 50% jews or gypsies or gays - wrong either way). Not only did the churches give the authorities all their birth records for 'sensis' but IBM tallied the whole lot in a pre '40s real old school database 10000x fastder than any human.

    "yo mr intel, can you do us PPC chips of 5 variations and 20m/year, we'll -invest- $5b upfront for you to start and gurantee $3b/year in sales at 10% inc per year"

    Intel has to thank Gates for making intel big, so its the least they could do.

    MS gets their cpus cheap

    Intel finally can get some PPC IP/patents.

    This is apples worry. Walmart could do to apple what no one else could.
    Walmart already killed lots of other billion $ + companies by getting all their shit from china and 1/10th the cost.

    XBOX to xbox, 11000kb/sec

    Not to metion the mac would often timeout, drop out, utterly unacceptable on a local 100 ether, and this was with 3 diff ftp progs, including CLI FTP and lftp and funky gui new ones and old crappy ones like fetchftp (ive got the src to that btw if anyone wants to ask me 4 it)

    While my old 1.8 P4, can burn dvd at 8x, download, ftp upload to xbox, convert DVD to divx, and browse the web all at reasonable speeds, nothing like a mac slowing down to a 1994 POS.
