I haven't seen TRON since 1983, but I recall that awesome 'yellow landscape' with that 'hovering/monorail' craft. I got goosebumps at the time,,, Hmmmm. I gues that I will have to wait to see the re-mastered copy which will come out in March. Apparently, the studio didn't want to re-release TRON just before TRON2 because they where afraid people would realize their memories would serve them better than seing the film again. I know I have only fabulous graphics in my head, albeit from 1983.
Can youth today understand that some believed that the Pixxar lamps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA-gQcy9JKU) were made by real lamps. In the seventies, computer graphics was like xxx, hard to get but very interesting. A book I have, "Procedural Elements for Computer Graphics" from 1985 contains several photorealistic computer images, but they are images not feature films. They must have had an awful trade-off in photorealistism and CPU time available.
Who is is for the Nobel Peace Prize?! Assange?! Hmmm...:D
Well, if the Nobel Committee f&cked with Chine, why not the Hilarious Clit?!
The eventual, actual effects of these Wikileak acts will be have to evaluated in perhaps twenty or thirty years. No doubt, Assange, relied on Wikipedia's founder, who relied in part on Torvalds, who came up with GPL.
So, in, if history or the 'winner', or, whoever decides to rwrite hisotry in their favour, or?
Immediately? Probably not, and not even desired... Or?! No? Oh, well. I can wait out whatever the decision may be. While it would have been good TV, I really cannot make out if their efforts have been worth while. The side effects seem out of proportion. It is a bit over my head, for now.
This happens all the time. And, it is a good thing. It shows that one method of one field can be applied in another. Nothing new there.
To be honest, I don't think parallel_prankster or many others realize that how many scientific ideas come about. The 'pure mathematics' in many instances had very 'unclean' background, firmly rooted in applied enigmas.
This Tai guy had no reason to look into the trapezoidal first, and see if that could have been applied, his discovery was to see that there was a pattern in the first place.
Then, and this IS good, someone else saw that these two phenomena are the same. Excellent.
Then, that low life flip tomato at http://fliptomato.wordpress.com/ "postgraduate, expatriate physics student" who has "the utmost respect for the people, places, and groups that I write about, otherwise I wouldn’t write about them." makes fun Tai... What a f*cked-up "student"...
I recall that CryEngine1 had an 'auto-plantation' of trees basing their distribution on climate, exposure, hill slope, etc. Very ecologically minded. It shouldn't be that difficult then to do what Google did, except that the Earth is a lot bigger than your standard CryEngine map...
"It will give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume"
While one may not like all the steps taken by Assange, one should give credit for the understatement that the new documents will "stimulate investigations".
This news goes in hand with the parsimonious explanation that the Earth is the endogenous source of life, too.
I habitually distrust news that relate any process on Earth as influenced by Venus, Mars, or 'Outer Space'. Remember what a fool they made out of Bill Clinton with the 'bacteria from Mars'...
Are we looking at the rings from the centre of these concentric rings? I couldn't find that in the article. If so, there may be something very wrong with his theory. While it could be possible, I doubt chance would put us there.
Articles (found freely on Google) like "Evolving FPGA-based robot controllers using an evolutionary algorithm." by Renato A. Krohling, Yuchao Zhou, and Andy M. Tyrrell is a dream!!!
From the article: "By installing the TCP/IP protocol on the data link layer, the team was able to run a separate Linux-based operating system on each core. Mattson noted that while it would be possible to run a 48-node Linux cluster on the chip, it "would be boring."
Huh?! Boring?! It would have been a nice a first post on Slashdot on the eternal topic - does it run Linux? - to begin with.
The we have all the programming goodies to follow up with.
Microsoft may quite possibly take legal responsibiliy of your rear, your house, your company, if you don't abide their rules. So, don't take their promises to lightly.
"He makes a lump-sum statement withaout backing anything up and gets an "Insightful" rating. I merely ask what exactly he means and get "Troll"??? WTF??"
Agreed - but this is/.
Me? I love KDE 4.2 and later. KDE 4.0 was a bit thin, but still stunning. KDE 4.1 a bit better.
As for bloat, KDE 4.x runs well even on an ATI Radeon 9200 SE, which was low-end when it came out, in 2003! KDE is a charm!
You are a professor at a liberal arts college and ask when did "ramblings of a random guy" become "news"? What did I miss here? The world is full of news about new books, which do contain such ramblings. But, true they may not always be the "News for nerds, Stuff that matters" that we all thirst for, but still are regarded as news.
"The US is running so many secret programs that James R. Clapper Jr., director of national intelligence, said during his confirmation hearings that 'only one entity in the entire universe' knows what they're all doing, and 'that's God.'""
What a moron, which of all the Gods does he mean?! As he is a defence guy I guess it must be some war God. It wouldn't surprise me if it was Týr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Týr) one of the mightiest God who gave his name to the day Tuesday!
Coincidentally, yesterday I overheard a conversation between two guys were one guy was selling an explicit fake iPhone. I had never heard of fake iPhones and got intrigued and leaned slightly to hear better.:) The prospective buyer said, well, it is a bit slower in the touchscreen and the interface, but otherwise, no-one would be able to tell the difference. The power cord didn't fit very well either. Then, they walked away and I could not hear any more.
Has anyone else heard of fake iPhones?! That was news to me.
But nowhere near the top500.org, which is what counts for nerds.
So, speculationally, it will support the iPad cloud? 6 million fumbling feromonal fingers trying to type "vacation Louisiana", but no weather simulations. Sad.

Drones are more fragile? I thought they should be more robust as there are no humans in them.
But, of course, if they are built essentially as a glider with a mini engine it may well be the case.

TRON rule(d)
What do we, users, know?!
Given A55ange's background this is the place he might have visited.
How about å, ä, ö, and ø?
I know quite a few Vikings who are pissed at the lack of it in plain ASCII.
Unfortunately, Columbians have taken control of the matter from Erkissonians. An now Göögle?!
I forgot the beard, RMS... Apologies

US response to China's control over Google?!
It is very hard to tell the difference here.
Both wish to be in some control over information.
I recall that CryEngine1 had an 'auto-plantation' of trees basing their distribution on climate, exposure, hill slope, etc. Very ecologically minded. It shouldn't be that difficult then to do what Google did, except that the Earth is a lot bigger than your standard CryEngine map...
Still, imagine this in, CryEngine2.

Genetic algorithms and FPGA is way cool!

So, will this get the Nobel Prize in ten years or later? It does really sound like a radical idea.

My Ray-Ban Aviator are about 2.4", so 1440x900 would be 3.14", quite decent for VR glasses!!!
