Thats probably true.
I want to say for the record that although many of my posts could be interpreted as a knock against the open source cause, that is not the intention.
I will always stay true to the cause!!
: )
I stand corrected on some of this. You all seem to know what you are talking about. I will always object to economics I don't like in principle, whether I truly understand the issues or not, afterall, I despise Economics as a subject/concept/means of communication...
Please not a trade embargo..
But they are saying exactly that.
If you read the article, the quotation refers to
"eliminating microsoft" - those are the words the particular vietnamese official used.
What would you call it.
I would say thats a pretty BIG
"Fuck the US"
Yes, a good beer, but you have not tasted guiness until you have tasted it in Ireland.
I was in Chicago a few years back and the guiness was:/ : (.. disappointing
In Ireland it really is better, don't know why.
If you ever do come to this country (leaving your political hat home of course)
I recomment a pub called the Porterhouse in Dublin for foreigners, or just go to virtually any pub in Galway;)
I'm from Europe so I'm not biased in saying this:
Saying that 80 % of significat achievment in the
Sciences compared to America is really quite lame.
There are a large proportion of Caucasian ( that is people descending from any lands west of the Caucus mountains in Eastern Europe/Asia ) people in the U.S.
When will people learn. There is not geographic identity in this world anymore. Companies rule the world..
Actually, that was the Dutch.
Sailors/explorers from th Netherlands (back in thir sea-faring days) settled in South Africa.
They didn't kill them on purpose.
They brought pigs in there ships for farming the new land and the pigs steppedon and crushed the eggs....awkward pigs..
Yes, another proud day for Europe.
How depressing : (
Your response, is noted, and appreciated. Your intentions, good.
I've never beed to Vietnam, but I do of course know, it has opened up to (particulsr) foreign markets, but my point is really very simple.
If a Vietnamese company was forbidden to sell it's goods to the U.S, there would be an outcry
"..America still has a grudge against poor Vietnam.."
Of course this would be wrong, you can't just change the rules for every country. Thats called lawlessness!.
Also, you failed to mention the tragic lack of freedoms people in Vietnam have, for example,
Vietnamese are now forced to reside permanently in the particular region they are born,
eg. if you have the misfortune of being born in Utah, you cannot leave!
Lets not go there, my argument is a bout equitable trade.
I cant believe you made the obvious mistake of picking brand names like Harley.
Is it OK to buy harleys but not to buy M$?
I hope you save your energy to be impartial and non biased instead of typing a reply to this post.
Thanks for your opinion.
I agree with that, but don't blame us.
Blame Spanish and Portugese mercahnants / conquistadores fistly, then the English of course for trying to take over the world!
Man wake up.
I'm Irish, why should I care, but America has a massive trade deficit with china at the moment
i.e. "Its fine for Americans to buy our stuff but theres no way we're buying there's..."
Your economy can't sustain this discrimination - its trade in its lowest ugliest form, AND
Now it's happening in Vietnam too.!
It has nothing to do with open source - it has everything to do with Greedy, DIRTY dictatorships i.e:
China and Vietnam et. al.
playing unfairly with the rules of trade,
While democatic, poor countries suffer.
They make me physically sick.
I think it's time for a global trade embargo against countries like China and Vietnam before this situation gets completely out of control.
Don't get me wrong. - I am no friend of M$ and there needless waffle applications
but this is too much.
wtf. Why won't they ever learn.
If it falls into terrorist hands, and is reengineered to attack human immune system..
I think I may as well give meself a dash of utanasia and get it over with!!
But yeah, I was thinking along those lines too. It must be possible. I wonder if Amazon will ending up getting sued to the point of being "Napster like". There is already a Danish distributed client system to share premium news!!
I agree.
And the terminology has become messed up.
Misbehaving, idiot script kiddies might call themselves 'crackers'.
Crakers used to be people who factorize impossibly fat integers...
Your right though it would help that cause,
except I've kinda given up on that after getting
impatient with the process of examing data,
and because if we do receive a signal from outer space, it will ineffect be a piece of history(as it will have travelled so far) than communication.
ut hey, I know those Israeli guys seem to be big into there military apps. etc,
but come on, think of the graphics cards we could mahe with this stuff. I believe this is where money can be made - that they can then use for the complete optical PC.
If graphics cards utilised this technology you would get FPS that is off the scale, (so long as they could miniaturize it enough and pack it all on to an AGP car : )
Thats pretty much how I see it too, but actually
the Enlight256 is purely for DSP puposes right now.
Ever used matlab?
The you now that its really just working with a specific slice of the CPU - matrix multiplication allot. Takes ages.
If use this it will take a fraction of a second to do massive vector/matrix calcs.
It has applicatoins in being incorpoated in to mobile cellular switching devices..blah, blah,;
clustering also, it just makes the solution to certain algorithms much more easy, taking far less time with less power!
It may very well be the fututre but the future is not now, just yet.
The device in question (Enlight256) is a milestone because it is commercially availabe, compact, cheap, very fast.
The 256 is for the number of photo detectors and photo sources. it may be designed to work at a ceiling of matrix size 245x256 per operation - mind bogglingly fast!.
The key to the whole unit would seem to be the SLM (Spatial Light modulator). My interpretation is that it would be used to generate the relevant transforms, making it programmable.
I think it sets a very good example of where we can go technologically and..also a bad one ethically - allot of military alliances with this company.
I'd really like to see at least an equivalent to what von Neuman did digitally reproduced for an optical machine (complete optical bus,memory, processor....). I t would surely have tremendous applications (by which I mean far more reaching than those listed on the web site!!!)
Really, though if they make it fast and reliable - its an excellent excellent idea. I'm sick of buying books that seem to have the right subject matter only to find that at a deeper level - they are just not what I'm looking for. Go Amazon!!
Yeah, it's not a very good thread.
We all ready know all that
Space will be the next battlefield....
Gee, with there optimism, WE ARE BOUND TO HAVE
A FUTURE WITHOUT WAR.
Who cares what some numbnut general thinks.
They are nothing to do with the technology that allows us access to space - they just abuse
the innivation of scientists who give into
glory!!:/
Yes, I can see the relevance to space wars...
But really, yeah..
Did your roommate know you had just got together?
If so, I would get out of that room!
Otherwise, you could carry out a bizarre sexual fantasy with her involving torture and whips and such....if you wanted
Slashdot Mirror

Sheesh, you just can't order out these days - never know what yer getting!!!

No piracy = bad Oh, how simple, lets give em a gold star. FFS, it;s about discrimination, not choice!!

Never eaten it

Yes but we're not talking about imperialism are we.
Hypothetical case study:
How would you feel if you set up a very small company and it has only one market - Mordor.
Mordor has decided it wants to embrace unfairness by not allowing you to export to Mordor.
You are pissed off because you have been f***ed over.
It has nothing to do with open source. It's about law and order - which apparently doesn't count for much in places like Vietnam,
and
I'm not surprised.
I agree with that, but don't blame us. Blame Spanish and Portugese mercahnants / conquistadores fistly, then the English of course for trying to take over the world!
If I keep hering stories about this I will start to support SCO
I wouldn't say I agree with your choice of words, but I'm actually more on your side with this in some ways.

Bingo, Thats what I love about encryption. It's the one thing in this world that is easier to make than break!!!
