Actually, if you're thinking of getting some vitamin D by lying without sunscreen on the beach near the sea, you'de probably be much better of eating seafood !
Many fishes contain vitamin D, sardines, mackerels, salmon... + you don't get skin cancer.
Excellent one... walls fall yet. And this one will fall too. However maybe by then it will be unclear who is behind the wall. So far China's strategy is reclusive vis à vis Internet, but they could decide soon to adopt the exact opposing strategy, have everyone go online and submerge the internet with the government point of view. I mean, there are enough people in China for Chinese's views to become mainstream ideas on Internet.
It's not like they lack bandwith ? Maybe they lack the human workforce to keep it up... If they'd open it up a little like a wiki this wouldn't be much of a problem, and bandwith cost is largely covered by the affluence to other BCC pages.
Come on where's the D in DNS if we need central authority... Crypto has gone a long way since!
Some authorities could sign pairs of DNS + IPs and have these distributed anywhere. For exemple I could chose to trust organization foo and bar to provide me safe a safe DNS. Requiring coincidence of two unrelated authorities would marginalize the risks of dns poisoning. The authority don't even need bandwith for that, they could be goolgle, yahoo, ibm, gnu, ms etc.
As for who decides who gets a domain name, except for specific extensions (gov, countries etc) this should be open to anyone, and basically registering would simply consist in referring one's domain name to major authorities before someone else does.
I don't get it, why are they so hard in accepting such and such extension... I mean, I understand that some protection is needed for.edu or national extensions, but why prevent people to register domainname.whatevertheywant
as long as whatevertheywant isn't too close too something else to prevent fishing. Extensions 3 letters could be allowed to be whatever people want them to be. Also, now, with the predominance of search engine, who really care about the domain name. My parents won't understand the concept of an URL and whenever they see a site advertised by it's domain name they think it's meant to be typed into google (sad but heck, it works).
Maybe AOL as evil and stupid and lusers oriented they are was right with keywords. Normal people might not be up to the task of understanding an URL.
They don't have to sued Google over this, but the people commiting click fraud... I mean, they sign a contract in which they agree to pay for each click, it's never mentionned that Google will ensure that all clicks are legits... I don't think they have the slightest chance to make a point in court.
Now Google could prrobably provide protection, but they won't have to. Eventually, protection (unique clicks, time spent on site etc) will arise with competition on ad placement as a required service.
I thought they did not want to do that because full songs are currently charged $1 on itune and shitty excerpts are currently being charged >$3 on cell phones...
RMFP please. I didn't claim GPU had nothing superior to x86, I said it's no wonder an additional processor can provide additional computing power. What I said is that this is only a hack but is showed the urge to develop specialized cpu for common tasks other than 3D. I also pointed out the need to have a library use those processors because compilers will not have the ability in the future to optimize code for CPU performing high-level operations such as sorting.
So the GPU is an additional processor whose power can be used. Any card with an additional processor could do the job. Considering that, much like 3D, most algorithms/operations are often the same, much processing power would be gained with such cards and a standardized library alla opengl.
Every one of these clowns that gets taken down is a step in the right direction. Large fines and lots of press will start an intimidation factor that will slow
Are you talking about RIAA and copyright infringers ( BAD ) or Australia vs Spammers ( GOOD )
I don't see the point of flaming Microsoft here, they've done nothing wrong or evil. It seems Cohen is unfuriated because they claim to outrank bittorrent based on simulation and he goes on the old "real life is not simulation" blah blah rant. Having rtfrp from Microsoft I do find that there are many clever ideas, especially the linear combination part which also has the particularity to provide some kind of stealth on the data beeing transmitted.
If Microsoft's paper doesn't give enough credit to bittorrent who cares ? ( ok Cohen does ). The important thing is to profit from the possible enhancments they offer. Come on, if google was the one proposing a swarming ft technology, everybody would be like whaaaa... As much as I hate Microsoft business methods and products I don't think ms researchers are evil at all.
Nope. that's because the brain is a stupid binary whose source remain closed so that opticians can make money.
Seriously, deconvolution is not a complicated operation, especially for a neural net it's a *really* easy task... You can train an ANN to unblur images easily. I wonder if exercizing can help myopa... or maybe the vision is so primitive/old in evolution that this part of the brain isn't very adaptative.
We could conceive too wrap this old unmaintainable visio-cortex code inside new neurons doing the job.
First of all, blurring is not a fully reversible process. If you convolute two signals, the smoothness of the convolution is essentially the smoothness of the smoothest signal ( can you say that rapidly ? ). Smoothing means convoluting with a smooth kernel, for exemple a gaussian (gaussian blurring). If you deconvolute it you will sharpen the image but keep the smoothness so information IS lost.
Now it can give good results... the most common deconvulting filter is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_filter> Wiener filtering</a> but I suspect they can come up with some more efficient non linear filter.
Now the question is, if deblurring can be performed with deconvolution, how can my brain not learn to do it ! After all, my eyes are just unfocused so the compensation created by my lenses could be performed by my brain...
The standard Nokia bell for SMS actually spells
SMS in morse. Yeah I know there will be two category of people, those who already figured that who will say it's obvious etc, and those who haven't but will be ashamed not to have and will act just like the former.
I currently live in Paris but will move to NYC shortly and wonder what services/prices I can expect.
For the moment I am the happy user of a 20Mbit/s connexion + ~hundred of TV channel + unlimited free phone calls for 30 (~$40) a month. The ISP is very geek friendly... provides official support for Linux, dDNS, a wifi enabled modem/router allowing NAT rules etc.
We do have the same kind of issues as in UK, with France Telecom, the former state owned monopoly. They often tend to be slow to switch lines when you don't suscribe to their own retarted-end-user-oriented ISP.
Now what can I expect in the USA ? In NYC more specifically ?

So instead they buy adware/spyware companies... Clever move !
