Okay how do they get more than a 2.5 dimnensional reconstruction? And why do they have to target police reports/analysis, does this require the scene to be still before they can aquire measurements and texture information? Also do they capture anisotropic detail as well as gasses?
There is good and evil in all of us, its just a matter of how tempted one is to do evil.. If you can keep people from being tempted, they will tend to do good..
Their method is a memory compare of a remote Windows machine.. Can't you just pop in the CDROM and run a CD-ROM based DIR command, or say compare against CRC in the CDROM.. That would be better.. I guess when they upgrade your OS, they don't want to upload the new CRC's for the diffs..
It makes me wonder why it takes so long.. I guess they have to dodge their own spyware, so nobody will notice.. Anyone could detect spyware, if somehow you could CRC your entire hard drive, then compare the CRC every night.. But only toward DLL's and COM's, and EXE's, they don't change.. And viruses can only occur in executables, not data..
Well Bill Gates exists because he can, he does business the way he does because it works.. That's why he is there..
And he thinks, I believe, if Ayn Rand is his inspiration, that he, like some who believe Karma (I don't) that he exists to do what he does..
However, in each of us, there is good and evil, and its up to us to determine which will rule over us..
Bill's faith lies in his money and his work, as long as he has that, he can be complacent.. What drives him, this is just one large game.. He doesn't see good and bad, he sees only what he wants to see.. But he's confused when the world doesn't believe what a great guy he is.. To him, this industry exists because he is.. He's so big, that when he becomes little, he loses his respect for himself.. This is why he acts the way he does.. His strength is all in what he owns and his power over the industry.. That is his respect for himself.. Some can be thankful for what they have.. But can Bill be thankful for what he has..
It says in the bible.. HE who has will be given more.. And he who hasn't, even what he does have, will be taken from him.. This means, if you aren't thankful for what you have, be prepared to have it taken away.. And if someone is given more, don't be jealous, or in your distraction, what you have will be taken from you..
so this is how the polish coders came out in second place on the world programming challenge..
I was wondering how that happened..
It doesn't suprise me that india was in 67th place, india is great for outsourcing COBOL code, however I challenge you to obtain the source code from those you outsourced to.. Hahahaha vendor-lockin!!
Non-Windows OS's are less of a security risk because they are not popular... However, Windows binaries don't change often, which makes them a clear target.. If windows source code was available, we would really know how vulnerable they are.. However Linux source is open, so we can really know how vulnerable it is..
The other problem I have with Bill's point on having one point of failure over many points, is that if the one point of failure has a high probability of failure, having more of it makes you more vulnerable than if you had several points of failure with less of a probability (due to being unpopular). His counter discussion for that is "you don't want to train your tech people on many operating systems, they will not be able to manage all the security flaws".. However, training of windows cost, and windows changes to encourage people to upgrade. So in effect Microsoft has sold us many operating systems, windows 98, nt 3, nt 4, xp , me, 2000.. Sure he'd just love everyone to have just XP.. But with the release of longhorn, this just fragments it all over again..
You can use one kind of linux, it just gets better, and it doesn't cost you anything.. What he won't address is that the art of the operating system has pretty much been perfected, and Microsoft is just finding ways to distract people away from arriving at a real solution.. Its like, "as long as we can be fooled, he can make money.. So just dodge the real question nobody will ask, why are we still paying for old technology?"
Is it outside of their character, considering their past?
BTW, there is a lot of money to be made with E commerce and a GPS device.. Its amazing that all anyone can come up with is geocaching..
I imagine Bill Gates already knows of the applications.. So it doesn't suprise me that he would try to patent anything he can about the technology before the ideas catch on..
What? You paid 30,000 dollars for a game character, from someone you don't know, on a online universe that may not be around perpetually?? That's about as dumb as the guy who bought a house from crooked lawyers..
and I will find you pc enthusiast that doesn't use an intel processor.
The problem with mac, and has always been a problem, it doesn't license its hardware.. Note, PC's architecture wasn't patented by IBM because they didn't think it would be successful, so they didn;t bother.. Recently IBM's PC division was sold off to a chinese PC vendor.. The only way Mac would win the world over is to lose all their patents..
Living in an escapist society with high expectations, and someone can't take the blaim for their own actions, so to avoid dealing with their own problems, they blaim someone else.. Of course, if the bank allowed a hacker to take money from soneone, that's a different matter.. It wouldn't suprise me if a bank would allow such a thing to happen.. Your money doesn't count, their money does.. Isn't this what we would expect of a modern day bank?
ITs an all data format, it requires libraries to create and to interpret.. Very easy to leverage a data format..
However and object (which is data with code) is harder to leverage. Leveraging is a term used to describe the process by which a business corners clients into a monopoly, aka vendor lockin..
Data formats are very easy to leverage, objects are harder to leverage because the data can't be accessed, but through a method interface.. That means the data can change, but it can't become incompatible due to such changes because the data us not being interfaced with directly, the methods are.. So if you standardize the methods, the data can't influence changes in the software that uses the data, unless the method set changes..
If people adopt a object standard for documents instead of a data standard, you will find less and less vendors capable of leveraging formats in their favor.. Its the leveraging of these formats that keep them in business and encourage people to upgrade their software..
ITs the reason I believe Open Source applications should adopt objects as the framework for standards, primarily for documents and movies and images.. That would make it really tough for vendors to lock people into unfair business relationships..
And is the reason Microsoft will not adopt a object based data format, it will only adopt stuff like XML which is a form of deception, its human readable, but if its encrypted/encoded with magic words and random ids, what does that matter?
Unless there is a basic understood, open source driven method interface to the many kinds of data, there will be no justice..
Well I think the purpose is brand development, it may be the case that google is the least popular in the UK, and they are doing this to boost interest.
Anotehr possibility is that in the UK google has offices, and they wish to lower telephone tax by getting everyone to use internet lines for phone conversations.. Not to mention the potential of being wiretapped by the british government.
Just a few of the ideas I can think of..
Of course this is all speculation, I'm not british..
European Union is whining because it can't compete in a market for which its not well equipped to compete.. In the same breath they discouraging open source development by patenting software.. Are they confused or something?
How you kill Microsoft is not with legal suits, you compete with open source..
They should really just sit back and let things go.
Thought it was going to be a reference to plone.. I've been playing around with plone today and its amazing what you can do with little effort.. But I've got friends who are replacing Dreamweaver with plone..
Note a computer can't process hundreds of tracks, can't you just make the tape wider, easier than making the computer faster? Also tapes have a longer lifespan than hard drives or CDroms..
Well guess there is no way of bringing back that guerilla..
I can't really see what the value added benefit (or value add) there is of purchasing an iPod.. Of course I never leave my computer, but I use rhapsody as my service, and with ipod I have to purchase the music to put on the device.. With rhapsody I burn a CD which I can just rip to mp3s and store on any mp3 player.
You apple freaks, I guess I'll never understand you..
BTW, I was once an Amiga user, I understand the pain of knowing someone else has it better, hasta la vista baby..
Israelis have no choice, they are forced to live in that environment.. Worse case scenerio is not surviving. Here, people can survive without working => plenty of land / animals => food.
1. Track markets. 2. Sell information about emerging markets. 3. Corner Markets. 4. Eliminate competitors before their market can grow, by tracking its growth (appli AI to mined data).
However, what do I know.. I don't work at Microsoft.. Besides, those who work at Microsoft don't work anywhere else, and that's why they work at Microsoft, so nobody else has them.. This is like DaBeers cementing over a beach full of diamonds (which is supposedly true).
Well that's not a problem we know Microsoft will screw it up again..
Just like they did with Xerox PARC's OS..
And with IE..
With Multitasking..
Multi-user OS's..
Etc..
Note in their commercials they say "we commend you for your accomplishments and look forward to your achievements". You hit it the head on the nail, they look for bleeding edge to destroy and reappropriate so Bill can take recognition.. Its why he get all the best brains to work at Microsoft, so they are not working anywhere else..
Hire the best brains, pay them well, stiffle their progress so they can not produce anything that is competitive with Microsoft's future..
Some would call this Conspiracy theory.. But if you look at the output of Microsoft you will find its primarily focused on ego-building and not on quality products..
Basic Bill gates algorithm:
1. do evil (strike down competitors, reinvent technologies, pervert vocabularies, redistribute).
