forgive me for asking but how could people want cell phone technology bad but not high speed internet considering the result for both is getting information faster and the convenience associated with it?
Maybe Sun will start to lay people off now and offer them jobs of a lifetime in china and india like IBM announced this week(im surprised this didnt make it on slashdot, maybe i should submit a story)
i understand that - but being the co-founder there were no stipulations of how MySQL were to be maintained in the future? seems to me he would have wanted to make sure all his hard work would not have gone down the drain to brain-dead decisions.
Seems to me as CO-founder he would have had to approve such a move and even if he did perhaps to make some stipulations on future development instead of constantly being in that 'rocky road' development.
here is a *sample* of some of my early work that i did long ago when i was just starting out. i dont have any mature 100% working screenshots but you get the idea.
the lat, lon and depth values are courtest of NOAA, freely available. this is a screenshot of a real time frame in openGL of the world with each vertex pair colored by depth. you can rotate it, probe it and a few other things.
i have experience rendering massive datasets via OpenGL and this where a lot of visualization still happens in government and big business.
These can be incorporated into other general shelf visualization tools or just be used standalone on any major platform as long as the machine has the horsepower, including, not suprisingly, a powerful GPU.
the first computer i started doing visualzation on was a SGI. imagine that.
could any sensible person really be confused with Microsoft vs MikeRoweSoft? i mean really i think that most people know how to spell the version of the computer company yes?? i dont see the problem with MikeRoweSoft.
If someone confuses the two then they've been living under a rock since 1973
curious... have you ever walked up to a pregnant lady or heard someone say to a pregnant lady, "how is your fetus?". funny i never have. everyone i know refers to it as a baby.
being a governor for 2 years is different than trying to be president as state senator for 4 years. as governor you make decisions EVERY day for better or for worse. that's what i meant earlier about real executive experience.
some decisions are harder than others...and if you think that Alaska doesn't have or face some of it own problems, both unique and as difficult as some of the other lower 48 then you would be mistaken.
so while obama has been "in office" longer he has had to make fewer single handed decisions by himself and has spent 1/2 of his time in the senate trying to running for president while listening in on debates, reading notes, going to hearings while voting "present" when he was actually there to vote.
so all that was to clear up what i meant about her having the executive experience that Obama does not have
you will notice that out of all those bills he voted NV on 224 of them. That means he either voted "Not Voting", "Excused", "Absent", or "Present". and many of the NV votes were for some real issues that he didn't have the balls to vote for so people could not tell where he stands.
she has real executive experience. he hasn't even chaired or led any of those bills into committee that you linked, only was there to "vote" when he actually was there and decided to actually vote.
She has the highest approval rating of ANY Governer in the US. She was the key note speaker last year at the US Department of Energy summit. She is a reform candidate the cleaned up corruption in the Alaskan state government, actually selling the previous Governors two jets on EBAY...kinda funny...
obama hasnt passed anything. look up on obama's record of voting "present" on many issues.
he has been in the senate now for 143 days. regardless of how big alaska is relative to any other state the very fact that she has had EXECUTIVE experience, fighting big oil and actually passing budgetary spending to save money and putting that money in a state savings account. Obama's "presence" in the illinois senate and his 5 months in washington is just smoke.
she is "one of us". what i mean is she isn't from the CEO private fundy school with nothing but money and power on her mind. This is why she will bring votes in by normal americans and this is why the far left and the north-easterners will hate her guts.
do you think 2 years as the governor of a state is less than 4 years as a back bench Senator who didn't chair a subcommittee meeting? Her greatest accomplishment so far is running a state. Obama's greatest accomplishment so far is running a successful campaign. Alaska has a population of approximately 670,000 people and this is how many people she has been in charge of for 2 years. How many people has Obama been in charge of?
regardless of where you personally stand on issues at least you can know where she stands with no flip-flopping, especially regarding free-market capitalism(the reagan kind), abortion(pro-life, had her child at age 44 even though she knew he would have down syndrome), and pro-choice as far as education. We dont know what Obama stands for except that he for the most socialist policy that i have ever read...coming just shy to that of marxism.
She is also a member of NRA and supports the use of guns as she is an avid hunter too.(that must scare the far-left). She is blue-collar and doesn't have to prove it because she has lived it and lives it. Of course all the "sophisticated" people in the northeast will try to strike her down because she isn't part of the "club"(shes a hunter, from a small town, has 5 kids, didnt go to brown, yale or harvard).
America needs someone outside of CEO corporate washington to represent us. whatever else i have said in this post i think most of you will agree with this. When the state construed a budget reserve she took that money and put it into an Alaskan state savings account, instead of spending it just to spend it like wildfire and of course certain legislative bodies didn't like that. She also wants to drill USA oil, not get oil from places where people want to wipe us off the face of the earth. She has tried but our friendly government has said no way. Hmm wonder why??
how is that? i think i can safely assume i dont buy a certain brand because i saw it on a commercial or on a clickable ad. i will buy something because its useful to me and it works for me, not because someone else told me i needed it.
i put the TV on mute when a commercial comes on, whether i look at something on the computer or go to the bathroom during a commercial..so it really doesnt matter how loud it is.
i think most people put it on mute these days or else find another show they like thats on at the same time without commercials.
well i was trying to make a point. maybe i want to play ALL these game on my home computer? maybe i dont want a wii.
maybe Nintendo failed to see this specific market. Someone else evidently did. Should someone pay for Nintendos lack of vision?
As mentioned with Steamboat Willie, we can all go to bed tonight knowing that the MOUSE will still be out of public domain after our great grandchildren are in nursing homes. does anyone not see a problem with this?
but if someone got caught playing SMB on Mame would they take people to jail? seriously? the person isnt making money off it. just for personal use. maybe i dont want to by a wii. maybe i just want to be able to play pacman on my home computer...
"Just because Nintendo didn't realize there was still a market for this product (That they WERE NOT SELLING) doesn't make it right to abuse broken copyright laws to send a guy with no priors to federal POUND-ME-IN-THE-ASS prison."
this is exactly my sentiments. Nintendo failed to see that there was still a market. it should not be legal then to sue someone AFTER THE FACT that someone realized that there was a profit. i dont get it.
i think you can go into a public venue and sing happy birthday all you want. no one will know or care that some smuck wrote it. i dont know why this would be illegal.
if Nintendo saw the value in these games why aren't they selling them in big packages on the Wii? not just SMB or Duck Hunt. i mean all of them. ???
Nintendo was short-sighted in thinking all these games wouldn't sell. now they see they are selling but thats their fault for not seeing that there was still a market for these games.

Video of an actual test after scratching a surface.
Sorry if i am a little excited but its nice to be personally linked to a university that is about 15 minutes from where you live.
agreed
so we should halt the speed and availability of broadband because a subset of older people dont want broadband?
. i know many older people that have broadband, thats why i said a subset, so its not all older people.
forgive me for asking but how could people want cell phone technology bad but not high speed internet considering the result for both is getting information faster and the convenience associated with it?
it seems to me nVidia is in fine shape. besides the PS3 currently uses OpenGL ES for its 3-D graphics and Nvidia would seem to be the perfect choice
Maybe Sun will start to lay people off now and offer them jobs of a lifetime in china and india like IBM announced this week(im surprised this didnt make it on slashdot, maybe i should submit a story)

Nintendo wasnt making $$ off of it either because they werent selling it!(with the exception of a few games on the Wii that you can purchase).
