That's bad policy making not an inability to make pantyhose and doesn't come about as a result of not having money it comes from the cold war. If there was no cold war, the world would probably be a Socialist world with far less crime. We have American capitalism to blame for that. The fundamental idea of a society without greed is totally plausible. It is hunman beings that soil it.
The success of the US in both economic and military might was proof the Soviets were on the wrong side.
Wrong, it was proof of nothing. All tht you can infer is that hunger for spiritless materialistic wealth was still in the heart of most people in the West. Some day we will be ready...
Firstly, it really sucks. It cannot find anything. I typed in a number of strings that google would always reliably find and it failed to return a single link. Secondly, its sllllloooowwwww. Thats what happens when you use Windows servers instead of Linux etc.. Thirdly, as mentioned above, it may be biased, although I admit it did return one measly link for google - the link to www.google.com.
Finally, I am very amused that Microsoft have failed to set a good first impression here. We don't need more search engines. We need more good public web content..
..which obligates developers to make their modifications available to the public."
Thats not a restriction -its a statutory obligation to remove restrictionns, ffs, sounds like MS mind control signals to me..
Yes I hear about that, but that only applies in the E.U. - my neck of the woods.
And..unfortunately, it also means that MS can probably end up charging money for its API's specs they give out. This could have nasty implications for Linux running Transgaming-like emulators etc. without paying a high cost and as I understand it Transgaming's API is already not free...
I agree. Brute force on its own is inefficient and predominantly useless. Even at tasks it can be applied to - like key cracking etc, it is still practiacally uselless without a bit of intelligence build in. Even the best prime generators dont doa brute iteration through all integers > 0 to infinity - that would be pointless. You need to know where to look as well, or your waisting your time. I hope as computers continue to advance we dont forget this and simply rely on computing power. Because no matter how far computing powere progresses, we still need to use our own brains with it, not have them replaced alltogether, if we did that we wouldn't get anywhere...
So my wuestion is about Avalon. In 05/06 Window$ will release a new OS with a brand nre API - Avalon - based on a completely new file system/table... WinFS (or whatever its called)
I've no doubt they will make this the most convoluted file system ever seen with no chance of proper reverse engineering or even emulating.
So, shouldnt we be pushing for new and smarer ways to develop more sophisticated OpenGL render engines faster and better so Linux can compete eith Window$ in gaming rather than living off M$ scraps?...
Exactly: And, joy of joys, the ear-piece is on the front! No longer shall the Nokia owning mobile gamer have to slink away to a darkened corner before answering his phone to avoid the notoriously embarrassing 'you're speaking into a taco in public' scenario.
I can now often be seen talking into doors and thin air with me Nokia 3200 - yes, I am sad at times...
What are you talinkg about. I like AMD'd too but remember it is thanks to Intel that AMD even exist as we know them. Pentium licence...
I think it looks like a very stable and well disigned architecture(s) from Intel. The PCI-E subsystem should be a real cracker for gaming - solid. Im actually on the verge of considering an upgrade myself, and this looks like the cutting edge. Hopefully AMD will follow suit and I will have options!!
If you have an entangled EPR pair, measuring one collapses the other into the same state. You can share random data, not useful for transmitting information.
It actually has more potential than this. It is not random, if 'measured' properly. This is the whole philosophy of Quantum communication, which in my opinion is actally the most interesting theoretical aplication of Entanglement.
Whats preventing development is the ability to reliably and measure and remeasurean entangled pair without affecting certain properties of it s twin. Hence the whole paradox of changing the nature of a photon by measuring some of that photon -hence removing any value from the measurement in the first place. But it is possible to measure a photon without altering it. You may remember experiments in Paris using iridium to actually measure the change in phase of the iridium that is fired into the photon, not measuring the photon itself, but rather a relatively acceptable phase change in the iridium. Now as I understand it, the main problems are that scientists can slow down and even completely freeze a photon of light, as demonstrated by a Dutch scientist. Then the technology is there to measure this 'frozen' photon repeatedly. As far as I know, its just not reliable enough yet...
As for Quantum teleportation (which really is more quantum replication than teleportation) many many years await before it can be applied usefully on a large scale. Same almost for Quantum computers - though they may arrive sooner than we think)
Yes, yes...the future IS open source, we all know I've always believed it, its a pity we are so slow to move towards this goal. If theres any hope for sustainability and equality and peace for the future, the principle of open source needs to prevail everywhere in everything in my opinion.
_= Funny question=_: ->
->Do you believe in OSS in encryption. In some peoples eyes Im sure its probably a contradiction - How can you embrace OSS if you want to encrypt everything, but I think its a beautiful thing. AES is public encryption and Im sure there are a good few OSS implementations of it, and I would also argue its well implemented because of scrutiny from the public.
I believe in a future of OSS everything, but still, secrets to still exist!
But really, doesn;t this open up a whole argument. For me for example!, I have no problem with Microsoft encrypthing everything, as long as they still show us whats beneath all the encryption - which they don't obvious;y,..interestin argument in my opinion...
I read benchmarks comparing a dual Xeon, a dual opteron and a g5-duals. The g5 came out on topof the opterons price and performance wise - though there was nothing between them performance wise really. Dual Xeons is probably best if you want to sell your soul to Intel!
but we wouldn't be where we are today if those events in the past hadn't taken place.
I dont want to dwell on this. Only to say that you are in danger of accepting a dangerous philosophy!
Your statement is not valid. We could be where we are or ahead of where we are now if things were different. I had this very argument with a work colleague. In fact Turing is a perfect example of how English society almost screwed up a man before he had the chance to blossom.
It is by pure look that he got the chance to make his mark. So many others were less fortunate. Who knows what they could have achieved. Mankind - always taking a step ckwards before 2 forward, and in some ways not taking any steps for a long time!!

I use Mandrake 9.2 at the moment. I like it.

I also llike Chocolate ; )
I play the song at work sometimes. Please dont change the song much Its great the way it is
Yeah, and they have already found the first alien city - its huge! - picture here

I wonder which OS Osama uses, hmm...
Yeah, I knew there was a balloon program.

I simply want to type in this thread to acknowledge what the guys at Space Ship One have achieved. Its amazing.
Now, when are day going to open up the source for all their design / engineering specs

I don't imprison my mind with the folly of exact spelling unless it is for permanent record, I hope!
The forest is nothing without its trees and a beautiful forest it is - all the more so when it is full to the brim with beautiful trees!
What happens to one tree will always affect another even if they are not close together...
Ok, that's enough symbolism!!
