A computer that can rewire itself to solve problems, isn't that how the brain works? Here's an expiriment to test it.
1. Stand in front of a mirror. 2. Snap your fingers (beside your ears) when you turn on the lights a few times. 3. Snap your fingers without turning on the lights, and watch your pupil contract.
Your brain has now rewired itself to solve a problem. Don't worry, it will go back to normal soon.
P.S. Make sure there is a little light in the room to see the pupil contract.
Does anyone know of something similar for hardware? In other words something that can be used to check all states of a state machine that would go into an fpga or ic design?
If we start using a lot of oxygen and don't replace it with C02 that plants can use to make more oxygen, won't we just run out of oxygen eventually? All of our O's will be in stored C02 and not 02 in the air. (Not good for us animals) Maybe planting a tree is better solution? They do grow faster in a CO2 rich environment.
This made me have an idea, that someone has probably already tried. Is it possible to link a p2p network directly to a website with something similar to a hypertext link?
This would require a plug-in version of bit-torrent or kazzaa or something that people could download if they wanted to view the content on my site (kinda like the real player, except for the p2p part). The actual link would probably have to have info on the checksum to verify document integrity. Doing this would make one's website scalable for demand. This would be a great way to prove how valuable P2P networks are. Imagine companies using one old slow computer to host their entire website instead of massive servers.
Has this already been implemented somewhere? Can I do it for my site? I am not the greatest programmer, but if anyone would want to try such a thing I would help as best I could.
