May I ask, what image comparison algorithm did you use in your fitness function? Was it something like |pix1 - pix0| for all the pixels? That sounds like a lot of comparisons at each step (159,300). I guess you could pick n points (in a grid or at random) and compare these, while incrementing the value of n as time goes...
Also, how long did it take to run 2.5M generations?
must be pissed. How do they look when a bunch of coders implement in three weeks what they worked on for months? Surely the quality is not the same and the Mono guys still have a lot to do but damn, this is fast!
Nedap is. They had to change their machines in the Netherlands after the group Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet demonstrated flaws, especially with the LCD screen - it was possible to detect the selected vote remotely using a Tempest-like effect, if I understand correctly).
Anyways, I voted on such a machine, and saw how old people had trouble using it. It is also the first time I had to wait to vote (15 minutes instead of less than one), because their was only one machine and many people had to be told how to use it.
Two of the main parties called for their removal; I hope this is going to happen.

I don't think you can say that for the most part Java has static typing. For example:
public class A {
public A(){}
public void f() {
System.out.println("A::f");
} }
public class B extends A {
public B(){}
public void f() {
System.out.println("B::f");
} }
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
A myA = new A();
B myB = new B();
myA.f();
myB.f();
myA = (A)myB;
myA.f();
} }
This gives:
$ java Test A::f B::f B::f
With static typing, that's in C++ for example when you don't use virtual, you don't get B::f() when the last myA.f() is called. That's because Java resolves the type of myA dynamically, and not statically.
C++ static example:
#include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::endl;
class A { public: void f(){
cout << "A::f()" << endl;
} };
class B : public A { public: void f(){
cout << "B::f()" << endl;
} };
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
A *myA = new A();
B *myB = new B();
myA->f();
myB->f();
myA = (A*)myB;
myA->f();
return 0; }
Now, this gives:
$./test-c++ A::f() B::f() A::f()
The second A::f() means that the type of myA is resolved statically.
If you make f() virtual, it is resolved dynamically, as in Java for the caller object (not for the parameters). This will give you a B::f() on the last line, try it.
Please explain what you meant or stop posting BS when I'm just out of a course entitled "Comparing C++ and Java object models".

Miguel de Icaza, founder of the Mono project, made a blog post yesterday about the state of the SoC projects for Mono : http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2006/Apr-13.html 11 projects out of 16 were continued, 6 students still being involved in Mono today.
I was going to say the same. How is it possible that Fox News reporters could even open the data files ? One could expect that everything is encrypted, every single file being a part of a globla security policy, etc. This is the army ! Big companies protect their sensible data by ensuring each sensible file is properly encrypted, defining trust circles, and strict key management policies. How were the files stored ?.DOC or.PDF files on USB keys ? I wonder how this is even possible.
Indeed we are. More information about this: I saw a documentary a few weeks ago on the death of Tutankhamun, and they were coming to this conclusion as well. The first hypothesis were that he had been killed, as a piece of bone was missing at the back of his skull; blood was also present around this hole. It turned out that it might have been made during embalming. They were also speculating on the many fractures the mummy presented. They were annoyed by the really bad general state of the body, mainly because the first people to discover it cut it into pieces to move it easily (it was stuck by dried body and embalming fluids in the golden coffin). This didn't help them in thei search for lethal wounds, until they found this piece of bone near the knee. The king broke his leg near the knee, and died about a week later (they know it by looking at the amount of cartilage that started to grow on the broken bone). Their conclusion was that this wound wouldn't have been lethal in our days, thanks to antibiotics. It was a really interesting documentary, and quite a fascinating search (determining the cause of death 3300 years after it happened).

Damn! You have a 5-digit prime ID and you did the "get off my lawn with your fancy emacs" joke. I bow before you.

How appropriate.
The Gentoo Manual is very helpful, and so is the Gentoo Wiki.
