While I'm too lazy to give you a link, I'd like you to know that the Japan of today (a bit different that the one that made gojira) has the world's biggest Plutonium refinery, and, while they claim that they use the plutonium in thier "special nuclear power plants, to get rid of all the nasty plutonium of the world", the fact is that plutonium can only be used for weapons, period.
And I read about some politician threatening to rain warheads on the Chinese,
Basicly, they have the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.
and rereleaces.
The rereleaces are better then the remakes...
And this is a rereleace that should be pretty good, (if your in the right mood)
Seriously, have you seen a new movie or game recently? how about two? or isn't it all just the same thing with a souped up 3D engine, more polys, and different mapps?
Stop coppying the classics, and just enjoy the classics.
If you had read the first article, you would find that it was a US based lab that invented this, Japanese Company's YYY, but American brains (of course, American doesn't imply race, they could be Japanese-Americans, or any other race of American.)
I'm sorry, but the Japanese have a pattent on stealing tech.
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US.
First, may I assume that you are in the UK? I've noted (with disgust) that the majority of men in the US fail to wash their hands after using the privy. While it is certainly quite insulting to have someone there to make sure you wash... Perhaps it's nice to know that the unclean bastards were forced to wash. Just my US $.02...
My friends and I at the university create a beowulf cluster as a project for our Linux class, (just installing software, nothing impressive really, basic system administration) and benchmarked it (24 P200s 32MB ram each 10baseT network) against a reasonably fast computer running the non-parallel version of the same code... (HP C station) and ours finished faster, with the overhead of networking! as to being "a loose collection of unmanaged, individual" We managed it pretty tightly, using nfs to provide the binaries that would be used, thought we did not use NFS for the root partition, as this would put to much stress on our poor fileserving node. If I remember properly, we used dist for password files, and aside from pushing the power switches, we could manage everything in the room without leaving our seats (24 computers running 'xlock -mode matrix" hehe).
Basicly, I disagree with Dr. Terry. our project writeup is here. (Please forgive any mistakes or stupiness therein, we were 15, 15, and a 30something non-geek at the time.)
Perhaps we sould create a positive label "programmed in the USA" to go on software as well. In much the same was that this boosts clothing sales, I wonder if it might boost program sales...
A (female) friend of mine spends much of her time doing online fantasy RPing, she keeps complaining to me that idiot guys see that she plays as an elf, and think "my character need to #$%& her.", now, imagine this in real life, with GPS equipped phones, were you can track each other's movements, or just wait near some interesting item, add to this that Japan seems to have more than it's share of perverts...
But would you want to start RPing with people that you don't know at all? Would you want them to konw where you are? Any mugger/rappist could just as easily buy a cell phone and start playing... no?
Great.... a whole bunch of people with too much extra time and too little brain capcaicy (as evidenced by what they are playing) are being encouraged to meet each other for totaly artificial reasons. Let's hope they don't breed.... while RPG/quests/adventure games are fun on a computer/console, when it starts effecting your real life, we usualy call that a dilussion.
intelligence level in their age group Why must it be in the same age group? Why not simply with older people?
Many people noticed that when I was a child I could converse much better with people 20 or more years older than I. Later I was put in self-contained classes for the so-called "gifted," the majority of my classmates were interested in football, and pretending to be smart. If your charge is really as gifted as you say, don't expose him to that, also, exposure to older people will continue to push forward his/her growth, but others in the same age-group will not, everyone will be comfortable and there will be no real progress.
Just seperate him from the others and wait for them to grow up, and keep them out of his way as he blooms
err, I wish one could later edit slashdot posts, anyway, I meant to have typed, "....on the bright side...."
(Just a rittre Engrish flom a native Engrish speaker.;-) )
ii na-, The companies that I applied for didn't even have the courtesy to respond with a negative, they just ignored me, I called one places HR dept. to ask about what they wanted, and they just gave me the usual... I also love to see how the newspapers say things like ".....the violent crime problem which is caused by foreiners....." (on the bight side... I had to beat the girls off with a 2x4;-) )
you don't understand... Japanese patents can be and are enforced in japan, it's just American patents that are not. The American company Micro$hit cannot violate Japanese patents in Japan and expect that the police will not burn their office and publicly humiliate their imployees. As to anti monopoly laws, "In Japan!?" LOL. Again, only enforced if the company is American, and harms Japanese companies.
Actualy, when I said "Research Database", I did not mean MySQL or Oracle... I mean't those online databases of articles that students can access from library computers, not just something that computer science students would use, but something that everyone would use.
The article says that the service is "free", but in actuality, students are paying for it in their tuition, when they could be having more useful services provided by the school, like a site license for more online research databases, or simple more trees and benches on campus.
What a waste.
And then students are told that it's "free", I bet half of them even beleave it, but as the old saying goes, "There's no free lunch", McBride seams to think there is no free SCO/linux(tm)*, and there is also no free napster.
*Largly due to the fact that he's visualy inspecting the interior of his own colon.
That is not the only reason, there is also the fact that if SCO sues someone who can't defend themselves, this starts to create a precedent, and unfortunaly in some cases, judges often consider precedents as of equal value to the written law. So I think IBM and Intel are trying to avoid the creation of a Slippery Slope here.

I do believe you mean "I wish I were...." But thank you for correcting my Engrish. ;)

You reallize that this is a violation of the DMCA? You are supposed to buy new ones....
Am I the only one who noticed that there is a black thongfeaturing Tux!? Talk about logo misuse....
this reminds me of this.

I've never had any problems with spyware... :)
I guess the target environment is not linux
I hope he'll sue SCO for the price of his worthless licenses after SCO loses it's IBM case. :)
do you mean their offer to let governments see some of the source, or the stollen source? (Or something that I really didn't hear of?)
If they had used OSS this wouldn't have happened to them.
And why should the US beleive that Micro$hit doesn't do this kind of thing to them? there is no one that can really be sure of close source software.

I was just trying to get Betrayal at Krondor to work on a Similar system earlier today. (Slackware 9.1, 2.4.11, Dosemu, etc,)
