So a game job requires uni degrees, but they dont use SMP? What are the unis teaching? java/.net? how is that usefull for games.
Now surely some/most games would use more than 1 thread, ie even if audio was on a second thread. It also is sometimes easier to program using multiple threads doing their own thing, rather than try to fit the whole game logic in one giant while() statement.
The shuttle can be auto guided to land by itself, so park , leave, go to ISS, then tell it to land, if it lands safely, then WOOHOOO, no probs. Then you can say, damn we overestimated the problem. Then shuttle#2 has to be 100% spot on.
If they militarized it, we would have 15 grey shuttles;)
I watched one last night for the first time in perhaps years. It was the insectoids being born ep.
I noticed how virtually all the good cast was gone, and the new ones were dull, and not very LIVELY and charismatic, "yes sir commander" dull style like SS troopers in germany.
What we need is a blairwitchproject style 'action' in space, "OMG the aliens are attacking"
Its getting to the point now where fridays are a pain, because 'everyone' (who has $) goes out, and every bar/cool place is jamm packed to the hilt.
If you do real statstical counting, I bet no more than 10% of the population go out on fridays, the rest DO stay home, and perhaps invite friends over too. Though TV is probably not on the high list of things to do.
mp2s would play, though I am kicking my self for not taking out the mp2 audio codecs out of VCD in '93 and making an mp2 player for windows (in '94 when beta win95 was out)
You have to find the distribution of bot nets and wipe em out, then find the bot nets and whipe them out.
1. find all bot net PCs 2. once found, firewall them so they can ONLY LOOK at the ISP homepage, nothing else. 3. dont let them in until the user cleans the PC. 4. find the irc channels that bot nets connect to, and log their servers to see who is controlling the bot nets, if a private irc server, firewall it world wide amongst the big ISPs/international gateways. 5. Find all trojan websites and get the hosters to delete them, if not, then firewall the WHOLE HOSTER.
maybe,just like radio after 1929 depression was regulated, perhaps after the next depression, they nut cases running the world will get real real paranoid (their drugs must be running out) and then regulate everything that makes them slightly insane.
They can try, but they will have a tough battle on their hands, and I bet the hackers will rather fight to the death/100% shutdown of the net just to piss em off and send the companies bankcrupt. The IT techys working for the 'govt' wont be as motivated by desire as the hardcore hackers. Its like any rebelion vs authority, the rebels always win or get their own 'zone'.
If they upgrade to all brand new chineese import parts, the thing will fall apart in 3 years I bet. Just like everything else, those cheap headphones etc... wire breaking, tsk. Yes big bulky stuff can be ugly, but hey, it'll last a century, not that CEOs care for that these days, unless they sell it at 3000% profit to cover 100 years of lost sales;)
What ever happened to the old attitude of build it tuff, build it strong to last, rather than build it to last just long enough until the next upgrade to increase perpetual sales?
Oh well, maybe the next inflation boom / economic down turn will turn people back into long term long life attitudes.
I agree the mac is missing lots of stuff, but id rather run macosx and port/recompile other stuff to it than use raw native linux on it.
Yes finder sucks, they should open source it and make it 100% async/threaded/cocoa. Its the one piece of apple os that is PURE CRUD that needs fixing, it has many many many faults in it.
and 80% of that is profits, when it costs $3 to dig oil in iraq and sell it for $55.
Now the average cost is probably more in the $10-$15 range.
So where does all this money go ? an amazing 1.4 trillion dollars???
Well... just like a cool movie plot lets follow.
1. Dig and pull out lots of oil in the middle east etc... 2. Sell it on the market for US DOLLARS 3. The buyer needs US DOLLARS, so they source it, buy it or sell current bonds whatever assets they have. 4. The US DOLLARS then go to the middle east companies/governments in the billions yearly 5. What to do with tonnes of cash, its pretty useless. (wish i had that problem), you invest it in something secure, ie buy US Tbills/Bonds so the cash goes back to USA 6. Billions of cash gets sent to USA 7. USA then uses that cash to "LIVE" on a daily basis and pay debts , ie rates on the tbills/bonds.
So its a vicious circle, money going out of usa, to the east, then back to usa, repeat and rince.
The high price of oil is really whats keeping USA alive, without it, mega cheap oil would not bring in much cash ($400billion yearly) to fund usa's terminal corpse on life support. So basically half the world is funding usa's debt problems, or at least helping it keep a float by rotating credit. Its like a fission reactor, if you reduce the cooling its going to go thermal fast, ie mega inflation/rates for all.
True, but sometimes people DO NOT want to choose down to that detail, they have had enough of 'choosing' all day at work with countless decisions, they want to relax and be supprised.
So, instead of a traditional ONE station of variety TV, you could have 1000 stations.
Station 1: Series 1 Simpsons Episodes looped Station 2: All IMAX docos looped Station 3: Stargate Atlantis looped
You can have NEAR VOD. eg as per foxtel.com.au , where it can have 4 channels dedicated to one movied with 30 min offsets to start times. Sure its a limitation of satelites, but once you get 100000 viewers on AOL, its better to multicast it otherwise your routers are going to burn. (couldnt be bothered with the maths but its huge)
I really doubt you could scale 1.3m users at 512kbits each, its just not worth it.
Eventually things will scale well, but when they dont, you have to choose the next best thing thats technically possible.
Now re PAUSING, you can still achieve that via multicast, your 'client software' can keep downloading but 'cache it up' on disk. You could pause the whole show and have a 'copy' on your local cache, that might 'expire' in 24hrs, but still thats just as good as 'live real VOD', you just cache it before you wish to view it on the multicast network.
Even if you dont believe Peak oil and think its a big zionist evil plot to get rich and theres infinite oil under the mantle/earth core. There are some good links/articles on what the world would be like
M A D M A X - the reality game show with 6 billion contestants.
You can make 4% to 8% variable for the next 100 years.
Not that the investor cares for 'his children' since he's so rich he can cover their ass. But i am sure he doesnt want the whole country to turn into detroit or worse - madmax style.
Remember economics is a zero sum game, with a twist, in that an extra 4-7% is created OUT OF THIN air via banking/credit/inflation.
$50 trillion didnt just appear out of nowhere since it didnt exist 100 years ago.
Thats the trick, we dont want to turn people into 15th century slaves with good conditions.
Society needs down time, play time, fun time, family time, too much work time destroys families producing garbage/wreckless idiots.
Working $3/hr at walmart might be good, if you can get all your shopping/food/cloths there as well at real wholesale cost, and not just 10% discount. Just dont get 50% of the population working there. But $120/week isnt going to cut it, unless housing+energy+communications costs are ultra cheap, like $30/week rent, or $40/month power costs. You cant have it both ways, uber cheap wages, and ultra profitable goods selling at 300% markups. You cannot have a collective wages of 100m people be 2 trillion dollars, while at the same time expect them to buy 10 trillion worth of goods, though each dollar can be recycled in a 24hr period a fixed amount of times because of taxes it gets smaller each time. Now if we had zero percent taxes, that one dollar could be traded 30 times in a day (making a gdp contribution of $30 in one day)
See thats the trick, low wages can only survive if we have zero percent taxes. ie if they want no minimum wage, then set a tax-free-wage level, so instead of $5.50 being minimum, make $5.50 the minimum to pay taxes, which will give more incentives for people to work for $5.20 as it is 100% tax free.
If you're a doctor, getting $80/hr, then that should be taxed at 25% or whatever.

Finder does indeed lock up.
ibook -> wifi -> linux samba share...
if samba goes funny or you reboot, then finder can go stupid, point is, there are stupid bugs in it. (IE too can hang or use 250meg ram)
Ok so your going to make a filter tester for 2000 languages?
Im sure email that is written in PNG or other languages that arent in the top 10 will look like '99% wrong spelling'

I know its in the 'wierdo' catagory and not 'sex drugs rocknroll' content.
But christian tv etc... are BIG money, or at lest BIG audiences.
Right away you have 1.1 billion customers
Im sure Mel would pony up a consortium
160billion was stolen from the SS, that could have paid for 10 new titanium 2x as large 50% lighter shuttles, and a new Xplane to boot.
The world is spending 1.4trillion a year on oil, im sure most of that is profits so the oil companies can afford to pay for any oil pumping.

then i come here and its here
I hope nasa takes a timelapsed view of the basic from the hill, 1 pic every 5mins would look cool.
and found the world isnt really worth that $250000 they spent so they want a refund.
Then again, what idiot would consider getting rid of it when theres so much beauty in the world to see.
Get out of the city you idiots who have new sights.
How else will you ever see stars in the sky or sunsets.
Now a good excuse/reason to tell the girls

"Have you had your zinc supplement today?"

unlike Darth Vadars plans, put all his eggs in one basket for 500% returns, and BOOM , lost it all. ;-)
Easy,
You can make 20% for 4 years, then -10% for 30
or
You can make 4% to 8% variable for the next 100 years.
