hey, wouldn't it be cool to distribute it even further? As pointless and stupid as it is... how about loading this to run on the Casio mp3 watch? In my opinion, it would be way cooler to have a little gadget processing seti data on my wrist- rather than using it to play crappy music. Or how about the video game systems? Dreamcast, hellzyeah! Only play that thing a couple hours a day, gobs of free time to sit there and process.
Whatever... My ideas, like my sigs, probably aren't even original.
Why is it that JonKatz is the only one to submit slashdot articles that are consistently another ten paragraphs? The other guys occasionally go into more detail- but I'm usually pretty surprised if I see less than 5 or 6 paragraphs under his name. The funny thing is, for my major (science technology studies) I had to write a lot of the same crap he posts on here. You know, asking big deep questions, and then making no attempt to answer them... He might be trying to stir up a good forum by not answering, but my prof would have kicked my ass if I left so many open ended questions in one of my essays.
The problem here is not that the hardware was the restriction- the surgical implanting of the electrodes was the hard part... Want more pixles? You'll need more electrodes- more surgery and altogether harder to pull off. Perhapse nano would work that- but in my opinion, we're better off looking for biological fixes to it. There's already such a good conduit in place.. It's just got to be fixed where it's broken, eh?
You know,a cooler idea than that.... I want a DVD of MP3s! Just chok full of 'em! I Figured it out once- A DVD has 20x the capacity of a CD (i once heard) and perfectly good MP3 compression gives you another factor of 12...........
74 min X 20 (cds in a dvd) X 12 (times smaller file size = a little over 2 weeks of CD quality sound:) Box set of the 20th century, anyone?
Hey, this is progress, all over- it's just awesome that we keep this up. Remember those calculator watches? I rememebr all my friends used to have those in school... But how easy is it to use? That was the crappy part! I think the point here is not so much that it has a wristband... but the miniaturization. I would probably hang this off a belt loop or something- but hey! It sure would be nice to be able to take this thing wherever you go. Normally, i don't like casio... I think i'll wait for the Rolex:)
Hey man, you know what my friend did? This was totally sick, but his cat was about to give birth to a bunch of kittens.. and he got out the old 8mm. You follow? Well, he was filming (in reverse) as half a dozen kittens came out into the light. Know what the finished movie looked like? I could not believe my eyes when i saw this footage playing across the wall from the projector... It was like they were crawling (or getting sucked) right back in there! Oh yeah, sorry this is so off topic, but i thought i'd go ahead and share that. It would be pretty messed up to see that sort of thing of somebody gorging on food, too. It would look like they were chucking it back up and putting it together into hamburgers!
Sir, this is in essence, better than a beowulf cluster. I do not wish to waste my time, or anybody else's- but a little explanation may be in order. A quantum processor would work in parallel with itself; checking as many possibilities as it has capacity for all at once- in a really short time. This could find the solution to an equation much faster by merely recognizing which state of the supposition is the correct answer rather than trying them all in sequence. You will not get a faster quantum processor- merely a bigger one. What would a cluster configuration do but split up the task and make the chips to talk to each other unnecesarily?
Hey, i use yourmom.com mail- http://www.yourmom.com and it is working fine! I keep accounts on netscape webmail- always takes a long time to load, but always does-- and yahoo (i've been very happy with it) Also- i've noticed that for the past month or two hotmail has just sucked!mail me (It's my junkmail box anyway)
Have you been there? I know this is totally off topic, but i think it's generally a good idea to have more than one college choice available. And a full ride makes it seem like not a bad choice at all;) If for some reason UIUC seems too expensive, then RPI seems to be a perfectly good alternative.
This is article is in the smae spirit of the essay i am workign on for my application to RPI- smaller, cheaper, more efficient computeing. Remember E-paper? These are great things to bring to fruition, but why oh why has everythign got to be disposable? I suppose this is not as bad as the disposable cell phone a while back. I sympathize deeply with the guy, and i hope he makes it big. Doesn't it seem silly how many peopel pay a thousand dollars or a PC when the work they do could be done by soemthing much less? Economy, ecology, space management. Like our dependency on petrol, i guess this is just another inefficiency that probably won't last forever but is pretty firmly entrenched. Word.
Your logic does not hold water... The argument that a note should be redeemable for a precious metal was done before i was born- wasn't it woodrow wilson that took us off the gold standard? I'm sorry to post redundantly here, but- were you joking?
Furthermore, the government has enough to spend on without having to worry about not being able to bring any more money into existence (for free)... Silly, silly, silly!
As an online artist, i am not looking to make money. I know enough about music to realize that i am not especially good- but someday i hope to be. I post my music on my personal home page and riffage.com for the same reason one would go into a chat room- to meet people from russia or uganda or soemthing who have soemthing interesting to say. There aren't more than two or three peopel at my high school who are interested in techno in the indie stages, so it helps to go global to get exposure.
the bottom line: I don't care if i am getting screwed by riffage; i'll have the last laugh, becasue i'm not a "starving artist," i'm a future computer science major, and perhapse soem day i can help make what they claim as fact to come about as reality.
Hey, here's and idea: We could combine the pen and touch screen, so folks could just write where they need the information input- no more relative position of the pointer. To combat the problem of raising your arm out at an oblique angle (not too good ergonomically, is it?) have the monitor screen in the desktop horizonally, or angled well away from the user like a drawing board. I like my mouse too- but i have a problem with the vertical screen. Just my two bits
For that matter, what good are all our old agreements with old red? I am not much for the technicalities of world affairs, but who do all of our treaties with the former USSR still pertain to?
Sir, i flame you not. I merely ask what you mean in bringing Microsoft into the matter. Granted, my initial response to the article was a lame attempt at a first post- but what is this a forum for? News for nerds? Or is it a MS-bash-whatever thingy? Frankly, i don't see the logic or relevance in your comparison. Besides, wasn't the Borg's robustness and efficiency more analgous to a few (ahem) *nix OSs than to MS? oh well, whatever nevermind.
His effort to come up with an improved bible translation reminds me slightly of Jefferson's Bible; but which way is going to provide the best spiritual guidance- Good end result control, or better parity checking?
Ok, regardless of our opinions of the MTV hype of the "hacker," I must say that I really enjoyed the colorful naked pictures flashign to the right of the article...
Yes, I know it would be a real pain in the microscope... But this could perhapse be one of those instances where those nano-tools could be put to some use. I believe the original cloning procedure physically removed the nucleus from the mother cell, and put it into the empty egg membrane, thus the mitochindria that were not touched at all. Possible to suck out the little mitochondria and replace them too? Probably, but nobody cares enough to try for the 100% clone job.
What i wonder is, how small can they go before the less predictable reaches of physics come into play? As i recall, genetic algorithms often ended up using subtle defects and quirks of the individual chips to achieve their ends. I haven't taken any classes on how cicuits behave at nano sizes, but i think we have a lot more to get down than just the mechanics of making them. >from one fool to another thanks for reading

Surprise surprise... We suddenly have nothing holding us back but our conscience, and a few people abuse that.
