distributors make money out of box office, cinemas barely keep themselves staffed and the doors unlocked on the ticket margins they recieve. Thats why coke and popcorn are so expensive and only come in two sizes: Xtra Large and INSANE!
yeah i love CA, thats how i got onto the sea shells book. I remember reading Wolframs (pre mathmatica) stuff a couple of years back. My all time favourite CA isn't the game of life but a simple little 1D (radius 3) algorithm called GKL [Gacks-Kurdy???-Levin] that decides if an intitial state has more than 50% of initial cells in state 1. I did some work using genetic algorithms trying to beat GKL which is believed to be optimal around the same time as Mitchell, Crutchfield et al. GKL is the simplest algorithm i know to illustrate emergent computational properties.
watched a doccumentry on Newton (the Heretic, Alchamist, Prophet, Scientist) last month, note-to-self must check out book sometime before the end of the world 2060 approx:-) too busy trolling on/. at moment
i see Rick Belluzzo is living large at Microsoft after driving SGI into the ground? At high corporate levels performance means nothing, knowing the right people means everything. Same with venture capital: its knowing the right corporate heavyweights - nothing to do with ideas:(
the form factor, keyboard layout and purpose is so much like a blackberry that surely it won't be long before Research In Motion layers are knocking on moto's door. Remember when RIM sued Handspring... *sigh* imagine if someone had successfully protected a patent on the QWERTY keyboard layout. We'd all have to learn to type all over again every time we bought a keyboard from a different company!
i have previously achieved this same illusion

but using a different technique. I used a strobe on a small waterfall in a dark room- this works in the same way you can sometimes see car wheels spinning in the wrong dirrection.
When i saw dysons outdoor version while touring the flower show I hoped he had somehow used lasers to implement the strobe technique outdoors in full daylight - that would be cool. But no he is just using pumped air - no surprise really considering hes a vacuum genius:^)
The market for embedded computing systems is growing rapidly what with: PDAs, set-top boxes, computer games, smart phones, and other systems are all demanding apps that are smaller, smarter, faster: and that run on multiple platforms
I find Qt/Embedded (QtE) to be extremely resource-efficient for building really surprisingly sophisticated applications that run natively on multiple platforms with a simple recompile. QtE also integrates seamlessly with Java

Oh my goodness gracious, What you can buy off the Internet In terms of overhead photography!
A trained ape can know an awful lot Of what is going on in this world, Just by punching on his mouse For a relatively modest cost! -June 9, 2001, following European trip
There is a c/c++ IDE option if needed, but its convoluted as hell! from the faq:
"...you can import the glade toolkit bindings into Eclipse running on Mono using the open source IKVM Java virtual machine for.NET by Jeroen Frijters..."
from another perspective you might find Palladium, patents, and DRM are actually positive things that foster innovation and artistic expression.
its the same with IP protection of GM food. If these foods actually do improve crop yields and feed more people for less effort - then the companies that develop biotech need to get a fair reyrn for the expensive R&D they provide (or other companies won't bother to do futher work)
you slashdotters seem to think science is still being done in garages - well its not, these days it costs billions to produce something radically advanced like a GM food, blockbuster movie, or.NET - risks need rewards
Slashdot Mirror
perhaps that was a little harsh - the OSDN page rendered pretty good - Hell my scroll mouse worked with your app automatically!!! good shit
i have downloaded your browser. loaded it in blackdown 1.4.1. typed in "http://slashdot.org/" at the address bar.. what should i see:
black screen, with OSDN in top left corner
Oh well, interesting project (i guess) - try harder
