    not really, unless the catalog is huge and you expect your legitimate users to be biologists. if there are even as many as 100 animals the script can just guess, and 1% of attempts get through. when thousands of bots are signing up simultaniously 1% is a whole lot of bots

    if the free servers set up some way of portaling to and from each other, even if it isn't a continuous world, perhapse more like zone lines in everquest, they could easily grow to rival the official world, especially with unrestricted content (other than that which is illegal) on private servers

  8. Re:Abandonware on MS To Finally End OEM Licensing For Windows 3.11 · · Score: 1

    abandonded is very easy to define. when it is not available for purchase from the rights owner.

    this would be a bi-directional state, so once an old arcade game becomes available on xbox arcade or wii it would be infringement to distribute the ROM, but as soon as that game became unavailable again it would be legal.

    The main selling point and differentiation for the Eee is the size and weight.

    i would have gladly paid full laptop prices for my EEE, especially since previously getting a machine the size of the EEE would cost far more than a normal or even powerful laptop.

    i got the 701 non-surf and threw in $100 in upgrades and i love it. the upgrades were a $20 1 gig sodimm and an $80 16 gig Tanscend SDHC card with USB adaptor, the adaptor was vital as my other laptop's built in SD slot can't even read 2 gig regular SD cards and my desktop doesn't have an SD card reader installed.

    i got my 701 knowing the 900 series was going to come out, but if you wait around for the next new thing you'll never actually get to play with anything because there is always something new coming out.

  19. Re:Not Sure I'm Getting It on Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" · · Score: 1

    that is my point, many algorithms won't split up well, ones that do should perform very well, but those that don't will take a huge penalty.

  20. Re:Not Sure I'm Getting It on Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" · · Score: 1

    that is part of the parallelizing process, if your algorithm does that, then it isn't very efficient. the problem with going for thousands of cores is that intel is basically asking every programmer to re-learn programming.

    that is EASY for the compiler to look for, code that only looks at the same value of somearray[iteratedvalue+C] can be done simultaniously, if the loop contains more than one value of C in the brackets it cannot be (well actually it can, but you need to make an additional copy of array values for every value of C the loop contains.

    i don't know, why DOESN'T intel give each core it's own cache?

    you'll have to ask them, AMD does and in my experience, it makes running two or more intensive threads run much better.

    it wouldn't take much money to hire a freelance programmer to write a little app that looks for folders contianing more than a certain % of it's files as image formats, then just check those image folders. it would save time over a file level analysis since i doubt many pervs have their CP scattered randomly around their hard drive.
