While its always nice to see Linux succeed I can't help thinking that if the code had been written in C/C++ on Windows (as I assume it has been on this linux install) instead of using the hopeless managed slug known as.NET , then on the same hardware I suspect it would have been a much closer run thing. Why MS wants to deliberately hobble itself in this sort of scenario instead of using the fastest possible runtime system is anyones guess. Are they trying to promote Windows or.NET? They need to decide. If they'd have used C++ people might have wondered whether.NET was a bust but Windows for still up for the job - now they have a situation where people KNOW.NET is a bust and Windows has been dragged into the shit along with it.
The only role they serve is to line their own pockets at the expense of ordinaryinvestors who then lose out as the prices are pushed up and down at the whim of various trading algorithms. This might come as a shock to you but stock exchanges don't exist for the sole benefit of investment banks and hedge funds. They're supposed to be for everyone and should be one the best ways of democratising the financial system. But no, the big boys have to screw over everyone else as usual.
.. of any photo they take in the UK. So EH can bluster and threaten all they want , they won't get anywhere. Someone needs a good kick up the arse in their legal department.
I don't want to sound like your usual get-off-my-lawn but in the in the days of home computers you could switch it on and it would be ready literally in under a second. Yes I know the "OS" was probably only 16K in size or less but it was in ROM and the computer didn't bother with pointless self checking (you'll soon know if some hardware on your PC isn't working).
Even early DOS machines could boot in mere seconds. So really all this very complicated technology is doing is bringing us back to where we were 20 or 30 years ago.
... so long as its not moving. If you're a passenger in a car doing 70mph you're going to be in and out of range of a wifi hotspot in a matter of seconds so what exactly is the point of this research? To prevent people getting bored in traffic jams in towns?
Thats usually the best way. I've worked with a few maths types and very smart though they are they don't generally have particularly good coding skills. A lot of the time their code ends up messy, convoluted and if they don't know the language very well , hopelessly inefficient.
At the end of the days its just trigonometry and vectors. Writing software to do that is just a case of wrapping plug and play equations given to you by a friendly mathematician into a nice API. Coders shouldn't be expected to derive the maths from first principals themselves or even know it at all.
Boost has its own conventions and using rather complicated templating they've managed to munge a lot of C++ syntax. Also as a hiring manager I'm rather tired of interviewing C++ candidates who can quote me the STL and Boost methods until they're blue in the face but couldn't explain pointer arithmetic or byte alignment issues if their lives depended on it.
So in other words it'll last 4000 seconds. Little over an hour. Perhaps notalot of use just yet except perhaps in short lived weapons - missiles and suchlike. But they don't need heat tolerance.
Yes, the difference you're conveniently ignoring is that the USA itself is a colony, yet they're still proud of it. Ie they're proud of their ancestors genocide against the natives (most of which was NOT approved of by the British even when it was still a british colony) to clear the way for themselves and even today native americans are STILL treated as 2nd class citizens in some places.
"considered it moral and just to force other nations into colonies"
I never said it was moral and it didn't usually require force. Normally it was done initially via trading and slowly the british took over the running of the place while the locals weren't looking. By the time they noticed it was too late and only then did force come into it if they decided to cause trouble.
"Nobody is saying British citizens today should be publicly flogged for those actions, however to be proud of what the British empire did well that in itself is sad."
Really? Perhaps you should get your facts a bit straighter. India wouldn't be the world power it is today with the british - it would mosy likely still be a lot of infighting minor states run by tin pot dictators like most of the *stans surrounding it. As for sub saharan africa - apart from a few countries that always was and always will be a basket case so frankly who gives a damn.
I don't give a shit. All countries behaved similarly in past times. Why not go check out what the USA's record on native americans and the slave trade.
Most of them are arts graduates with about as much scientific and technical knowledge as a comatose slug. Nothing has changed. They wouldn't know technical innovation if it kicked them in the balls. While this country his still run by people who think quoting shakespeare parrot fashion is the last word in intellect then we stand no chance.
Trouble is you can only camber so much in case a train has to run slowly or even stop on that section of track. The passengers wouldn't be happy if the train stopped and their coffee slid off the table for example.
All tilting does is make it more comfortable for the passengers. It doesnt redice the centripetal forces on the bogies and track which will become severe at very high speed. Also signalling needs to be upgraded for very high speed running to take account of greater stopping distances amongst other things.
Which particular race the japanese are discriminating against with their policies then? Are they racist against the whole world - the minority japanese oppressing the rest of humanity blah blah blah?
Or were you just trying to prove how right-on you were by coming out with some tired old left wing racism rant you found on Ebay in the 1980s section?
If the japanese don't want their country to turn into a fucking cultural zoo like most western countries these days then good for them. They've obviously got a shit load more brains than self righteous arsewipes like you.

Criminal proceedings for what? Reading some private stuff he legally had access to anyway and for wounding up some teens. Whats your verdict then judge? 30 years in max security?

Are Sony seriously going to sue people for not handing over their legal property to Sony?
What is it with this company? Just how far up their own arses can they go?
Evercookies my arse.

Plus ca change.
Unless th vehicle is moving slowly then by the time the device has negotiated a connection with a wifi hotspot then its probably already out of range.
Given the nonsense in the Bible I'd suggest he manages it without technology.

... design and write another computer program to beat a human at chess or shogi - THEN i'll be worried.

I think it was in part exchange for supplies and aid during the war.

You self hate all you want - some of us are quite proud of the empire and what it did.

Well , it had to be said :)
