Robberies are MORE common by day. When you are out to work and person whose reasearched you or just notices the signs that **no one is there to stop them** are you kidding us? A thief would prefer to burgle a house where the slightest misstep means they have witnesses?
Stop watching the movies and spewing that crap as truth! Most robberies are in the day time, while people are not home. DUH.
this comment is pure poppy cock, or FUD as someone like yourself would say. You know, for a *individual* keeping source closed makes a lot of sense, especially to begin with. You know why? Listen up, people like to think. To get it right, to not be *rushed*. If he opened sourced this thing and YOU came across it, sounds like the only reward he'd get is you tellin' him how "it's already been done here, here, and here, why bother?"
exactly the type of motivation that gets you up in the morning, right? Midsize to large companies usually have a persuasive case for opensourcing, but the little guy? When. ever. they. feel. like. it. and because of bullyish peer pressure.
Did you read my inital post? I think street view is great AND they could have prevented this by just blurring or outlining, or hey - things PHD's do that i can't myself. There are lots of ways those images could be informative but not violate privacy, a win/win. That's not what's occuring, what's occuring is a bunch of people saying "Oh, not yet, that's not bad enough"
Why wait for privacy, when there are solutions (ahem automatic image editing) that could have been considered, and USED?
I think they are proving that we'll put up with invasions, one at a time. And you, thoughtful tho you seem to be, seem to be missing the point. NOW is the time for an industry leader to draw the line, and they've failed to do it. Who else will do what, when? How about all those traffic cameras? How about Wifi Enabled street lamps.. once the infrastructure is laid out, you can see this stuff pop up overnight
Which is why we are having this discussion today, NOT when the van actually went a-driving!
Actually, No, when they open up Google Cam(eo - if you want to make a cute name of it) why should they do less then they did here? There are precedents being set, and Google didn't appear to decide on one that supports privacy... in the future.
I personally know people running companies using video technology that could do live casts like this, and when the time comes, will they have an example to follow?
This is one of many fulcum moments, squandered. That's my point, and not one wholy devoid of good sense.
After all of their vaunted 'do no evil' slogan.. with all of the developement power they have, they didn't consider using image processing software to outline the drawing using the scenes natural colors, they didn't consider using a blur, they didn't consider making a very public statement about how they would use the technlogies and discard the true images...
they had here a perfect chance to lead the way in mapping and instead just became Britain^2. Way to go guys, way to lead the future.
I do not support the mainstream movie industry for any reason, and I will not "subsidize" their industry because, like a small child, they've had their tantrums.
i must be like.. the ONLY person to treasure their ipod for causal reading. Am i THAT much different?
Look, if they put a full vertical width screen on a nano and let me just scroll the page with my finger.. We've replaced the book, use it in both orientations, fits in your jeans change pocket, make it so it can hold more (currently limited by the number of "notes" it can carry to about 8 full size books..) never loses your place.
Heaven! Of course, i already use the nano to read, so my eyesight must be pretty good.. but c'mon, it could be great!
and easy enough to do, all things considered with how they already have the device laid out, more or less.
I know, bigger screen == less battery life, but somethin' 'll give.
Uh.. buddy? This is where you find people who do know what they are talking about.
well, at least, you can tell when there is actual information in the post. What pressure? Why? "wee-wee"?
C'mon, first cup of coffee?:) Cheers,

OpenLaszlo, a opensource toolkit that takes declaritive XML and compiles it to SWF.
What it can do for datasets and backend interactivity is just awesome. Recommended cause it's neat plus it's way saner then HTML (imho), as long you're doing applications and not semantic stuff, this is where it's at.
mmm. replication managers.
you know what's stealing? Taking a cultural heritage and then buying off the FCC AND every radio station in the nation until there is only One True Source.

I use it, but i've always wondered where
on
TextMate
·
· Score: 1
In the vein of Apple Pages > TextEdit i've wondered where XCode > CodeEdit was. I use text mate and love it, but mostly because it's agnostic to my projects, instead of having UI features geared towards one way of doing things. TextMate fills that role well, but so would XCode, if it had a bunch of stuff taken out.
Since i wrote a lanaguge using textmate syntax highlighting, i've always wished for someone to make syntax highlighting built into the Cocoa Text View. But, maybe that's a tall order.
I feel your pain on the interface relearning. Sometimes i think the complexity of the interface in either version is just another form of user lockin, because simpler treatments from the beginning might have encouraged something expandabe instead of replaceable.
i had been thinking on this recently, just though to share.
A turing version of conway's game of life. But on reflection, if the "dominos" were something like charged nanotubes, then the creation of computing structures could be "grown" in a much different way then current cpu's, kind of think that's neat.
certainly it has certain charateristics like that, but to say the only possible usuable system is constrained only to that design is to miss the point...
we aren't trying to reduplicate the human mind anymore then a car is trying to reduplicate a horse, and there are several variations on 'intelligent' that don't even come close to the exact way a human mind works. Perhaps you should meditate on what it means to be 'useful'..
The simple reason is that software cannot compute every iteration in parallel. Imagine light beams for instance - if you were to "sum" the intensity of several beams at a single photodiode, it would occur simultaneously as a single operation. Software requires, regardless of the number of possbile processor within reasonable (read: current technological) limits, an iterative approach such that during every stage of calucualtion, each neurode (neuron+node=neurode) has to be caluclated in order - drastically, drastically slowing the network down. Since eletrical currents can be summed simultaneously (in an analog circuit, which this undoubtably is at some stage) it allows for the same type of "instantaneous" calculation that your brain currently enjoys.
that's why it's so important to do it in hardware, and why optical techniques, and not electrical, ultimately hold far more promise. It's all in the book i recommended a post or two above...
For those interested in this field, may i suggest a book, Naturally Intelligent Systems? It's slightly older, but it explains a wide gamut of neural networks without a single equation, and manages to be funny and engaging at the same time. it is one of the three books that changed my life (by it's content and ideas alone - i'm not otherwise into AI).

you go, you!
unfortunatly, i have a mac mini aka 4 shaders.. but this screensaver lets you use the video card to do it, so i imagine it's fun to look at.
:grin:
I just did a search, i didn't find anything about the largest. FWIW i'd LOVE to see the turing version in this screensaver

My first thought, OH GOD NO, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!! ARRRRGGGHHHH!!! Not another person whos closing their eyes to anything other then SQL!
okay, whatever other points you have, SQL is an outdated dog, and somebody from the 50's is turning in their grave that we're still using it.
