First regular ground cars will still be here for quite some time. If we lived back in the 1890's then these air cars would be the technological equivalent of steam powered vehicles. But before any of this gets off the ground it'll need to be:
1) cheap, needs to be mass produced by a manufacturer who sees that he can make money, and for this to occur the following below also has to be true.
2) safe, (first we need to get technology to the level where cars on the ground can travel without the driver having to take the wheel. First get it working in "2d" space then "3d" later. Use *Failsafe* systems, would you want to drop from 100ft+ in the air because some bird ran into your turbine?
3) fuel efficient, only 2 hours airtime? no chance of being mass produced yet. Using gasoline for this sort of vehicle is like using steam to power the first automobiles.
5) did i mention *safe*? people in the US are still scared to fly, think if they had to do it by themselves.
6) lots of new traffic laws and traffic technology
7) taller buildings with air "parking garages". Everything seems to be going up in places like japan because things are getting crowded below
..well you've seen most of this sort of thing in scifi films and cartoons like the jetsons. Also in the Jetsons they had an impteus for developing flying vehicles and that was that the smog near the ground made it inhabitable so that everything went up (houses, offices, stores, and so did travel). What other social needs at the time lead to the development of the automobile? getting horse poop on your shoes all the time?
the ultra sparc solaris boxes were used mainly at the teer (pratt) engineer building. All the other winxp boxes for non-engineering majors were at the library, dorm clusters, etc. The students really won't be able to tell much of a difference between solaris and linux. Now all the applications such as pspice/matlab/powerview will have to switched to linux binaries / licenses.
Yes, unfortunately if you've ever run molecular dynamics simulations you know that water is a crucial ingredient in determining the ultimate behavior of multiple protein / nucleic acid / docking simulations.
So unless we can model protein - water - protein - NA interactions physically in realtime (There are programs which do this somewhat already VMD visual component + NAMD molecular dynamics + IMD (interactive molecular dynamics), then what you are referring to will be possible. But we are well on our way.
The fold of the proteins in question are already known. That's how they know how to construct them physically using the magnets or 3d printers. It's how the protein will interact with other molecules that makes this approach useful.

RH9 had raid array autodetect built into the livecd, does gentoo 2005.0 have this in the universal x86 livecd? 2004.3 didn't..can you guys actually put something on the cd that is useful for people in production environments running 500g RAID5's and who want to upgrade their server?
UT2K4-demo is about the only game I play anymore when I need to relieve stress. I have an athlon xp 2800+ with Radeon 9600se graphics card. Under winxp I can turn up all the graphics details and at 1024x768 it runs very smoothly. Under (2.6.10-gentoo) Linux using ATI's latest FGLRX drivers and xorg 6.8 (yes direct rendering and all agp 8x are enabled and I can run fgl_glxgears at 100fps full screen 1280x1024) the game is very choppy at the same resolution. So naturally I turned down the resolution in the game to 640x480 but it's still choppy like
Before you try getting new games on nix try fixing the ones already available.
Floating windows is something that Windows users will not understand about Gimp. If you have multiple desktops and use a desktop like XFCE all the pictures and tools can be moved from desktop to desktop (without having to move an entire MDI, or multiple document interface as is in Photoshop). This reduces clutter across desktops and allows me to look at only the pictures and work with them in relation to whatever else may be on the screen.
For example I may be editing one gimp picture, have the tools window beside it, and have some other program that is acting as a reference or guide for whatever work I'm doing.
I would much rather have the the flexibility than not have it. But I must agree that it would be better if there was a feature to change from multiple windows to single window MDI so that people can decide for themselves.
even though google scholar now searches through technical documents (without bringing up junk hits), if you aren't a member of some university which actually has unfettered access to the sites holding the journals and articles, you won't be able to get access. for example:
If you look at the page http://www.glaucoma.org/learn/ it says about normal tension glaucoma (NTG):
"Those at higher risk for this form of glaucoma are people with a family history of normal tension glaucoma, people of Japanese ancestry, and people with a history of systemic heart disease, such as irregular heart rhythm. Normal tension glaucoma is usually detected after an examination of the optic nerve."
The glaucoma foundation knew about it affecting Japanese people more often than others before this ridiculous "study" ever was published. So the new "study" simply supports what the glaucoma foudnation already knew.
Glaucoma is more related to diabetes than watching a screen. There is absolutely no connection. You have to learn how to read "scientific articles", learn about statistics (and how to infer these statistics about a given population from an article), and learn that scientists/researchers can make anything look plausible.
Maybe japanese genes are different, it could be any number of factors. This is just as ridiculous as the claim that prolonged cell phone usage causes cancer.
Frankly, i think what they've really "discovered" is that heavy computer users might not get much physical activity and may be more prone to other health problems (e.g. diabetes) and may have an increased risk of developing glaucoma due to these problems.
Anyways, I'm not worried by the time I develop glaucoma we will have the technology to regrow eyes.
It's quite simple really, just know the locations of satellites in orbit around the earth, and beam noise at them from the ground, since power on the ground is virtually limitless it would be easy to overpower the satellite. The thing is you might have to know what sort of encoding the satellite uses, what frequency range it receives data on, and several other factors. The thing is a satellite can also determine the location of a signal being sent to it. So could it then not just ignore the signal from an enemy, coming from continent B as opposed to allied signals from continent A ?
Religion only relies on faith if you're talking about christianity, islam, judaism and other western religions that expect you to believe something just because someone or some book said it was the truth.
If you do some research on the philosophical basis of eastern religions especially on the concepts of maya, karma, vedas etc then you can see that these require not faith, but simply the act of living that will reveal the truth. This is why eastern religions are more in accordance with science (e.g. quantum physics) thus you don't have these creationism vs evolution conflicts.
Suicidegirls is not "goth porn", I saw no pictures of penetration, blowjobbing, cunninglingus, and cum gargling, but maybe i didn't look in the right places.
It seems to me the Suicidegirls is erotic/nude art with a gothic twist and should not be confused for porn, although it may have the same effect on your penis.
The journal Nature has exceedingly high political standards (e.g. it helps if you are a researcher from a reknowned university). It also helps if the reviewers don't have something against you.
Gromacs is used in parallel by folding@home with the stanford group. If you run the folding@home program you can see the gromacs data packets being sent to your computer. The program simulates how peptides might fold into proteins by solvating them in a cellular environment.
So the virginia tech supercomputer could also run folding@home (basically modified gromacs).
What about using DSP's instead of FPGA's and just sticking with the coding to carry out GL calls on the DSP and pushing the signals out to the display? DSP's nowadays are very fast, are mainly made up of adders and multipliers which would be needed for all the matrix operations in a 2D / 3D display output.
How about using DSP's instead of FPGA's. DSP's have lots of adders and multipliers on the die, which you would need lots of for doing matrix operations which are the majority of 3D operations
?
Why don't more people get into trying to reverse engineer the nvidia/ati drivers, just catch the calls sent to the GL and see how the driver translates those functions to actual algorithms sent the GPU?
This seems much simpler than development of a 3D card from scratch. At least if it does become reverse engineered then nvidia/ati will either have to change their implementation (meaning hardware) and or go ahead and provide more information since the information will already be out there.
net authorization for applications/games can be combatted easily.., it's the actual accessing of data from an online source that would make it difficult, but a simple check / checks are no problem for your average cracker.
If you look at it on a cosmic/universal scale (I'm assuming there is intelligent life elsewhere), then yes man's actions are normal given our current state of evolution.
But from the view point of simple natural selection on Earth (the universe excluded) it is not. For the first time in the history of the evolution of the Earth, there is one species which has the knowledge to change its own course of evolution (genetics/gene therapy). Thus we are in a way directly interfering with natural selection. Man has the capability to control nature by manipulating the very thing which codes for its diversity, that is DNA/RNA.
Back when I was at the university, reknowned biologist Stephen Jay Gould gave a talk regarding natural selection and history. During the question and answer session a bright student asked him the very same question..are we not changing our own evolution and the process of natural selection? This seemed to anger him quite a bit. He couldn't even think about it logically/academically and began to try to refute it without any supporting evidence.
