Come on, sincerely I think DirecX is something nice, at the end, it is only an API, and well it has a lot of features that can be used in other areas other than gaming.
Have there have been some use of VR for combating phobias here and it also could be used as a way of visualizing data (dont you remember that scene in The Matrix where some girls that control the doos of XX (whats the name of the Matrix city??) they had cool interfaces, and I think it could be used to do that.
I totally agree with you, for the love of god people, it does not matter how much money does this person has, what only matters is that he is making a really BIG donation.
Now it would be interesting to make some research about the Forbes Top 10 and see how many of these men donate as much (and as often) as Mr. Gates.
I specially liked this
Warren Buffett information.
At the end, this chairty is going to get to the people who does not have anything, not even a computer. Yes, we do not like the monopolyzing tactics M$ uses to eat us but, you should know, there is something more there OUTSIDE your monitor, really! and yep, there is people who does not have something to eat, or medicine to cure their illness.
I can only say, BRAVO BILL!!
Interesting link, the movie is kind of funny, while watching it I realized you can only edit text files, but I started to think that mixing MoonEdit with LaTex could yield to something interesting!
... (and only break them after informing interested parties (e.g.: Thomson) that you have broken them)...
Sorry, but. lol hahahahahahahah, (I am not saying your comment is wrong or right it just made me roflmao)
Again, sorry.
And that makes you a Thief.
Also, surely you will download The Incredibles because you liked the movie and you dislike Pixar and / or Disney.
Is that a valid excuse?...
Sorry, I think I didnt make the emphasis where it must have been done in my previous message, I wanted to say that it is not a TRIVIAL task.
I thing that is why Linux does not ends catching up in the broad desktop market. I am sorry for being offtopic here, but when I go to sf.net, I would expect to get into a proyect's homepage, and then just clicking to download it, or better yet, open it. After that, the program should let me install it (if I am no root, in my own ~ dir), and that's all, on RPM - deps, no apt-get console writing. Just a simple click and a YES NO HELP option asking if I really want to install it. And yes, also maybe the "YOU MUST ENTER ROOT PASSWORD" is not good for the average user, so the system should install it by defaut in its ~ .
Well, I am not shure if any disto do this now (maybe Lindows or Xandros or any other comercial is doing something similar). But that would be good, so my point in my previous post was that if it is not "widely" possible for trivialy install a program in Linux, well, it must be a hard task (somtimes I have spent several hours hunting for RPM deps in rpmfind only to end with a cycled dep.) to make a virus or spam that installs itself.
Just to go farther with a little joke... imagine a virus that enters into Linux, and then you see an error message "Sorry, the app 1inuxVirII was unable to be started because the function get_system_root() in module kernel.2.4.6 was not found, please install the required library 'kernel.2.1.0'".
Lol, now that i think about that, it is kind of funny. I know my karma will go down (It does not matters, I am BAAAAAAD GUY right now) but I think we as Linux enthusiasts (yep, I am one) should open our eyes to some of the problems in Linux.
...as far as I and anyone I have ever met knows, only on windows can software trivially install itself without somebody specifically requesting for some kind of software to be installed.
Well, you have said a great truth here, it is even not possible for a NORMAL USER to trivially install a program on Linux.
=oD
Well, I am starting to think that/. is kind of a mirror of The Register... almost all the news that are posted here where before there, u know, I have both RSS feeds and I always see first this news there.
I am not trying to be a Troll or Flamebait or whaterver u qualify this, but I have been watching/. for a while (yes, you can guess I am new here). Anyway, just a comment.
Hi, I have not RTFA but sometime ago I saw this in the IJCAI conference,
here is the link for the article abstract.
This article was presented in the conference back in
2003 summer.
Anyway, interesting things you can do.
One thing I remember about the talk, was someone
saying that he "did not find any utility to moving
a robot inside a box" (can you beleive it?)... and
this is one of the top researchers.
Well that's the problem of living in a country where the education is kind of private, in other countries (like Mexico) high education does not cost that much so everyone can afford it.
Well, I agree with you, but there are several universities with good reputation (like
this)that are already offering postgrad programms, I think that is one of the first thing to search when deciding to make an online programme.
Please please post a new story for the homepage! it is a shame to see this as the first story in the Definitely-tech-geek site... can you imagine if someone enters and see what we "geeks" are talking about
lol

http://www.esm.psu.edu/Faculty/Gray/movies.html

That sounds cool also, what about an extension for emacs that allows it to do this thing?
You dropped this on the floor, sir: </i> </i>

Well, I have come with a GREAT IDEA!!
1. Copy a shitty Text Based OS and license to a big company.
2. ???
3. Proffit.
