Meh, I don't think it was a particularly good example of the scenery in California or Oregon. The video shows mostly numpers of other cars, and the road. I think the only feature I recognized was Mt. Shasta in northern Cali. You couldn't see features like the pretty resvours or forests much, he would need a camera facing to the side for that.
I'll see if I can do a caption of the route with features I can identify later. Here's a map of the route. He took I-5, the route with the blue shield labeled '5' from Los Angeles to southern Oregon.
I may be biased 'cause I'm originally from Japan... but does it really suprise you that Japanese kids do anime drawings better than other nation's kids?
I remember when I was in Japan, the kids drew their favorite characters from anime all the time, and the constant drawing was probobly good practice. One kid in 5th grade or so made a good drawing of one the guys from Dragonball, and the other kids were making fun of him for having traced it instead of drawing it, as if he was expected to draw that well without tracing.
It's kinda like the association of Americans with rock n' roll, or black people with rap. Race does not confer talent, but being immersed in a culture does help shape your talents.
Geez, hasn't anyone here seen 'Apollo 13'? They'll be playing "Spirit in the sky" by Norman Greenbaum, of course. Screw the fear of lyrics about death, you'd have to be crazy to fly that thing anyways.
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky That's where I'm gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best
Yeah, it's kind of interesting to see what games women play. When I was in high school, female friends seemed to like Quake and WarCraft 2, but console games were probobly more popular, especially 'cute' series like Zelda or Donkey Kong Country.
My mom, on the other hand, likes strategy games like the Civilization, SimCity and Tycoon series. Yes, she also likes the Sims - but she suprised me one time by getting the demo for Operation: Flashpoint(a really gritty war simulation set in the cold war), which she seemed to enjoy. I don't think women should be pigeonholes easily into the 'cute, cuddly' game genre, they can like other types of games, too.
Wow, that's cool, I wish I had the time/expertise to make something like that. That said, the real thing is even cooler - one of my friends has an old NeoGeo cabinet, and that thing is built like a fricking tank. I had to help move the thing, and it weighs about as much as a fridge, if not more. The part around the coin deposit is metal, and the rest feels like hardwood. Man, they don't build 'em like they used to...
Incidentally, the guy has MAME on his computer despite having the real thing. I wonder if having the actual ROM cartridge makes it legal to have on the computer?
I agree that from a property rights standpoint, there is nothing the game makers can do. However, if you were a government concerned about supporting industry, it makes sense to try to discourage resales at some point.
As an example, in Japan the government wants to help the car industry. So what they did is, there's an annual inspection required for cars, for which there's a fee. After the car is ten years old, the fee increases dramatically. This discourages car owners from hanging on to old cars, and gets them to buy new ones. Thus, while Japanese cars are some of the most reliable cars on the road, in Japan you barely see any cars older than ten years. The old cars are usually exported to the 3rd world, for a tidy profit.
Look at what Nintendo's doing now - they're releasing a lot of their old NES and SNES games for the GBA. If someone made a SNES to GBA converter of some kind so that anyone who legally owns a copy of the old game can just download it onto their GBA, that would be bad for Nintendo.
So I can see them trying to get the gov't to take old games off the shelf, maybe by doing RIAA-style FUD about how it's similar to piracy or whatever. I doubt that would stand up in court, though.
Speaking of which, does anyone know a good PDA that takes AAA or other standard-sized batteries instead of using a recharger? I want to be able to use off-the-shelf batteries for practical reasons, even if I have to settle for a b&w screen or slower processor. I primarily use my PDA for PIM and ebook type stuff, so I don't need too much power.
Sony used to have its lowest-end model do that, but I think it's gone out of production. That and the Handspring visors are the only PDAs I know of that take AAA. Anyone know of any others?
I agree the guy did not have any right to take or disassemble the things just because they were on public land, but that does not nessesarily mean that the DOD was right in putting them there.
There was a different case (mentioned in the article) in the 90's when they found some sensors near the base. In that case, some of the sensors were on land belonging to the Buerau of Land Management, and when BLM was told about this, they got really pissed and the DOD got rid of them. The issue was that they had not asked BLM for permission to do this, and had put the sensors in secretly.
We might talk about 'public' land, or 'government-owned' property but in the U.S., there is no generic government ownership, it all must belong to one agency or another. The DOD is not allowed to do whatever it wants with other agency's land or property.
The article unfortunately does not give much information on who owned the property the sensors were on, or whether the military asked for permission beforehand. I would assume it was all legit, but remember that they're made screw-ups before in placing sensors on other people's land.
Oh god, that sounds like a terrible superhero cartoon - 'DeGay and his fellow Future Force Warriors'.
The theme songs could be a catchy tune - (to the tune of the Ninja Turtles theme): "Fellow Futue Force Warriors Fellow Futue Force Warriors Fellow Futue Force Warriors Heros in load-bearing chasis! I'm DeGay!"
Man I bet it sucks being in the military with a name like 'DeGay'. He'd have to have that on his uniform, too.
a corporate cave-ins on par with CBS when it pulled the 60 Minutes report on Brown & Williamson (remember that movie with Pacino and Russell Crowe?).
Oh god, I'd completely forgotten about that one! You only know half the truth, my friend. I will tell you what you don't know about "The Insider".
For those that don't know, "The Insider" is the movie referred to by the parent poster. It's the true story of a tobacco industry scientist who goes to the CBS program "60 minutes" to expose the fact that the tobbacco company he worked for(Brown & Williamson) was adding chemicals to the cigs to make them more addictive. After he did so, the company went after him with lawsuits and other threats. CBS pulled the segment for fear of lawsuits. Eventually, they get the report on the air. The whole movie is about the intimidation tactics used by the tobacco industry who are the "bad guys", and the whistleblower and the reporter are the "good guys".
Now that much is presented truthfully in the movie. However, there is a rather huge ommission made: ABC also ran a similar story based on the same guy, but when the tobacco company went after them, they not only pulled the story, they did a public retraction and apology to the tobacco company. In the movie, the good guys eventually win and the report airs on 60 minutes, but there is no mention at all of ABC caving in. This of course, might have something to do with the fact that ABC is owned by Disney, which also owns Touchstone Entertainment, the company that produced "The Insider". Remember that Michael Moore might make biased, trollish movies, but that doesn't mean that corporate media does not have its own biases and lies of omission.
Really, Hollywood is a bigger problem than Moore. Look at how people's perceptions of past events are shaped by movies: the parent poster remembered "CBS when it pulled the 60 Minutes report on Brown & Williamson", not "ABC recanted its report on Brown & Williamson and apologised", which is exactly what the executives at Disney/Touchstone wanted. Can't hurt our subsidiary's brand image, can we? The fact that most of these movies are presented as "works of fiction based on real events" makes it so they have a much lower standard of truth than even Michael Moore. I shudder to think about what a generation that only knows about World War 2, artificial intelligence, or complex clan conflicts in Somalia through Hollywood will do when faced with complex real life issues.
I only knew about the ABC/Touchstone spin of "The Insider" because I took a media studies course in high school that made us look at our media more critically and showed us stuff like this. I wish more kids were taking classes like that.
As it stands, I guess "PROTECT Act" stands for either:
"Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End Children Today Act" - An act that shall finally address the growing menace to today's society: children. Yes, we will outlaw children forever, and end the suffering of untold numbers of would-be parents. Won't someone think of the children?!
or "Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to Exploit Children Today Act" - Children are our most valuable resource. Why should we spend money educating those brats, when we can put them to work in the forced-labor camps? Either that, or lawmakers want to 'exploit' children without those messy child molestation trials. Won't someone think of the children?!
I shudder to think how that grading session would go...
"Mr. Anderson, it seems you have been leading two lives... in one, you are a respected student, all A's, boy scout... in the other, you are a hacker named Zancarius, spreading rumors and dangerous allegations against the benevolent all-knowing AI. One of these lives - has a future. Which will it be, Mr. Anderson?"
"How about, I give you the finger, and you get me to college."
"College? But how can you go to college - when you fail this test?"
"Mrrrrph!! Mmmmph!! EEEEEE!!!" (insert horrific scene of test machine probing your bellybutton)
Of course I can! I bet the install screen for Longhorn will tell you to:
"Please wait for Windows to install. In the meantime, sit back and play Halo(tm) on the X-Box(tm) Entertainment System. X-Box: Where do you want to play today?"
I found his reply about the number of women in the computer-related field there interesting. I've always thought that women would naturaly make good programmers, but they were pushed away by sterotypes about programmers and cultural perceptions of what women can do. It's nice to see that even in a more traditional country, women can get into I.T. and programming roles.
I don't know about Egypt, but in America I find sort of a perception that women don't make good students academically, especially not in math and science. In Japan, though, girls were expected to be better students than the guys, possibly because they were less roudy and rude than guys. This might have something to do with the old confuscianist ideal of the student as a quiet, studious type, not a loud troublemaker as boys are. Unfortunately, sexism later in life makes things hard for women in Japan.
I wonder what the attitude towards girls learning math and science are in Egypt?
I am not an expert, but in general, Opteron seems to be targeted more for the workstation/server market than the supercomputer market. It's not like they really need x86 backwards-compatibility in the supercomputer field, so Opteron doesn't seem to be optimized for that market. I think Intel may have made IA-64 with supercomputers in mind than AMD did with x86-64.
Some reps from SGI came to my LUG the other day, and talked about their clusters and supercomputers. The guy doing the Q&A said that he personally liked the Opterons and x86-64, and that the Opterons were fast, but for what SGI does they preferred Itanium. The Opterons have their memory controller embedded in the chip itself, which is great for 1 or 2 or even 8 processors. However when you go up to a 512 processor single-system image supercomputer like SGI's Altix, a lot of the memory controller stuff is done in the switches or otherwise off-chip. Itanium allowed for more flexibility in how they did memory controllers, because they don't have an on-chip one.
There were some other reasons too, like having more registers, etc. that made SGI choose Itanium over Opteron. I don't know how applicable they are to this situation, as this doesn't seem to be a SSI supercomputer.
Quick, everyone! Let's have a Slashdot-effect mob street fight!
Rusty from Kuro5hin says this - "Hey Taco, j00 sux0r! CowboyNeal is a loser AOLer! Slashcode is worse than VB code! Hemos is a homo! If j00 l05ers think otherwise, show up at the corner of 2nd and Main at 3pm with 'yo posse, and we'll settle this with a fight between us K5-krew and the./ Horde. J00 g01n' D0wn!!"
I'm putting money on the K5er's. Slashdotters aren't exactly tough.
Obviously, you've never been attacked by a pack of wild Gnomes...
The horror! The horror! They came at me from every direction! There were sidebars everywhere! Pastel-colered icons went flying! When they were through, I was left without my precious KControls or KApps...
...and then a horde of Ximian monkeys showed up...
Only if the reruns ran right after the original, all the content was taken from other news shows, and was filmed in front of a live studio audience that would constantly heckle and make fun of the whole thing instead of discussing the content like they're supposed to.
In the audience, there would be audience-whores who repeat the content of the shows verbatim and goatse trolls who would dare other audience members to "pull their finger", and random crackheads pulled off the street would "moderate" the discussion by wielding the -1 Hammer of Doom and the +1 Crackpipe. They would give a hit from either of these mighty weapons at random, and if you get enough hits from the crackpipe, they'd let you become a Crackhead Moderator, too.
All of this would be happening at once, so the "discussion" becomes an incoherent blast of noise as crackheads, trolls, and whores vie to out-yell one another. Meanwhile, Taco, Neal, and the crew would be busy counting their money and drooling over anime to notice the audience members making fun of their stupid, lazy asses for letting crackheads moderate.
Or maybe I'm just bitter I don't have mod points:P
You must have missed the Valentine's day special with Steve Erwin and an Anaconda.
Someone needs to get that man a date. On second thought, he'd probobly provide annoying running commentary on his date's looks and behavior while stalking them, followed by a wrestling match in the mud. Someone needs to set him up with Darl McBride : )
