This images are pretty neat with the stereoscopy.
Don't substance exist that when you put pressure on them they generate electricity so therefore you could take a big rock and sit it atop some of this substance and you would have unlimited amounts of power.
I think the more elaborate the perpetual motion machine the better. That would be a great contest, who could design the most elaborate and outrageous perpetual motion machine.
I have the ultimate perpetual motion machine why not just throw something into space. Theoretically it should keep on spinning forever. Thats perpetual motion.
Anys just my crazy ideas.
Wouldn't it be funny if you had set this up on your network from which you could command it to then do the housework, then someone hax0rs you and uses it to rob you in the middle of the night. That would be hilarious.
Nano technology is the future, look at a sci-fi example, borg nanoprobes can take over your body in a matter of seconds. Imagine what someone could do with such technology. We could design bacteria that would repair ourcells so that we could live forever, build muscle tissue, regenerate tissue in wounds to prevent and eliminate scarring. Isn't bacteria already genetically engineered for tasks such as these? The production of insulin...
There are many different types programmers out there with different strengths which are definently related to their personalities. I agree with the article about how creative programmers can enter a state where they can see the problem from a holistic viewpoint and then code just starts to flow from them. I have experienced this state several times, where I space out and my fingers just start bashing away on the keyboard producing code with suprising compiles that first time, bug free, and does exactly what was needed. When this happens, according to what my friends say, I don't respond at all to them, what they say goes in one ear and out the other. This also happens to me when I play my guitar, when I get going on a groove I just zone out until I have finished. When I do get forcefully interupted there is hell to pay, it is extremely annoying to having someone force me out of such states.
This state of mind reinforces to notion that creative people make good programmers, possibly better than less-creative people. The odd thing with this is that I did horribly in the non-science courses in school. I got 75% in english while the majority of the class got 85%. But then again I did really try, I never paid any attention really although he was a really good teacher.
Another interesting thing is that in a project I was working I never commented any of my 7000 lines of code yet when I came back to the code half a year later, despite from what most people say, I could still clearly remember what each line did.
In further explanation of my persona and why it makes me a good programmer is that despite being a complete geek I am also into extreme sports, downhill biking, windsurfing and so on. These are my outlits for taking a break.
Is anyone else like this?
I have gone backwards in terms of developing software when it comes to using an IDE. Although I don't develop using Java I do work with C++ on a variety of platforms with several IDEs and text editor. When I began I used bloodshed's dev-cpp then moving onto M$'s VC++ as my projects required a better compiler and ide to handle all the files. Now, have gone back to using text editors, notepad and emacs, because I am using the compiler tools, flex and bison, in some of my work. In some ways a basic text editor is easier to work with, of course the nice color coding makes reading your code easier but really your code, when properly formatted(indenting and so forth), should be easy to read in a text editor. In addition, MDI text editors make it a breeze to program because you can have many windows open at once and still have your screen organized. Next to my text editor I have my console in which I type make and my app gets compiled as easy as 1,2,3. GCC is great to work with because it works exactly the same on windows as it does on linux. In addition, if you work on both linux and windows making the transition is easier when you don't have to deal with the clutter of all the features of an IDE no matter how well laid out they are. One of the things that attracts most people to IDEs is that a lot of them come with code wizards and so forth that help with the basic layout of applications. I have never found these to be of much use because I end up scrapping much of the code because it usually isn't as concise as I like it. So for now I will stick with my text editors.
Why does MS keep releasing new software when each time it is worse than the last release. Maybe if they rereleased old updates then things might start to speed up.

Everything is orderly, down with heisenberg.
I agree with you that if your working in a large group then yes you should comment your code but this was a personal project I was working on.

The next step is to make a program for compiling php to byte code so it will be java.
