If I remember correctly, one of the difficulties faced by the guy who made jetpacks in Mexico was that they were very difficult to mantain stable...
My though is that it should be trivial to equip the thing with an array of small jets (in addition to the big ones used for propulsion) which are connected to a "leveling system" controlled electronically (a few gyroscopes or leveler ICs with some logic will solve the problem).
You *DO* Remember that the main problem was with J++ and Microsoft trying to distort a standard (or at least, a standard they *signed* they would respect) to make it incompatible?
Kind of how they made special Javascript or ActiveX extensions which broke the net??
Well... to be fair, there is a difference between Oracle suing the GOOGLE company and Microsoft promising not to sue YOU (user/developer) for using the Mono implementation... mainly because Novell/Microsoft relation.
I wonder how far would Microsoft allow Google to go in implementing a C# compiler/interpreter in the same way they are doing it with java...
Game developpers should concentrate on offering new online content which can be purchased by a person currently owning a game.
That way it does not matter if someone re-sells his game ID for "World of Retardcraft" to another person as long as this other person continues paying to access the online content.
bah... The main factor of USB 3.0 vs LightPeak is that USB 3.0 is already being sold (devices, cables, computers with the interface) while LightPeak is at the same stage as "holographic storage" or lots of other technologies:
Although Light Peak is early in its development, Intel demonstrated a fully functional system at the 2009 Intel Developer Forum (IDF).
'The first thing [script kiddies] do is fire off all these attacks at Microsoft.com.
Ahem.. yes... sure... I attack Microsoft machines only by accident... sorry, didn't see what I was writing in the uRL... not that I *want* to fsck with my beloved MS servers... no way, ahem...
kk, now I'm gonna go back to try installing sub-seven to wga.microsoft.com
Yeah but... on that movie the teacher goes very far away pushing his students.
And of course, the only thing you get from there is that if you pus a crazy lonely guy who needs psychological help, then he will can do terrible things.
That same guy (the character depicted in the movie) could have attempted on the life of a president just to impress some random actress (sounds familiar?).
I would imagine it served to illustrate the truth about terrorism and the farce of what is claimed to be successes in the supposed 'war' against it.
THIS.
Sometimes I think the government does not really want us to know how futile and stupid the "war on terrorism" is.
I remember watching a documentary sometime after 9/11 flight rules became supposedly very strict to aid against terrorism. On this documentary the guy actually introduced A METAL KNIFE to an airline (inside the METAL telescopic tubes of a luggage handle) without a problem; his argument was that, if he succeeded on doing such a thing, definitely terrorist would be able to get nastier things on board.
Lol... German teaching Nazi stuff is not the best of the examples...
Here in "poorer" East Germany there is quite a strong presence of pro-NPD (e.g. the new National socialist party). I guess after children read about what Germany was and then see their surroundings/current state they feel entitled to go to the far-right.
Evenmore... I was disgusted after going to a concentration camp (Buchenbald) and reading a guestbook some comments from Germans cheering at all the atrocities presented there (comments like "Hitler was right").
The important question to ask about that is "WHY?", or more descriptively "for what reason?".
If I was the head of a wallmart, I would love to hear students more innovative ways to "how to steal laptops" from my shop. Also, if I was an FBI officer of the child-abuse division, I deffinitely would be interested on "never seen before" ways that children could be coerced and abuse them.
And the same with all the others...
The important issue is with what PURPOSE do you come up with such plans. That is why in law they are interested in the INTENT or purpose of the actions.
I like and use Java everyday but I would not suggest learning Computer Science with it.
I learned data structures and algorithms with plain C and pointers which IMHO is the proper way to do it.
Just recently I was reading a book about data structures and algorithms in Java, and it was very funny the loops people have to jump to create a simple linked list or stack... because Java is *not* done for that...
BTW, to answer your question of "which movies I think are good" I can mention you one 3D movie which I think has both i) A good story and ii) Nice use of 3D effects, and that is Coraline.
Well, I have get into this "movie sucks" bandwagon because I also thought that as a movie Avatar sucked.
See, I saw the movie first in 2D and *then* in 3D, both in the theater. When I first saw it in 2D I though it sucked; it reminded me of Final Fantasy movie... just a bunch of computer animation with a *veeeeery* thin storyline which is a rehash of Dance with Wolves (I like the name someone gave "Dance with Thundercats").
Then I saw it in 3D and I thought the 3D effects made the movie OK, just OK for the nice effects you could see...
So yes, I believe the reason of this "movie sucks" bandwagon you see is because nowadays most movies suck...
One of the best multiplayer games... I played it together with my father, my mother and my brother. Fond memories... appart from that game, my mother has only liked Pilot Wings and Mario Kart from SNES and Wii sports .

Windows 95 Turns 15
·
· Score: 1
Howdy shit... after reading that bit I really hate Microsoft more:
Some of the conditions that Microsoft presented to IBM for getting Windows 9x or NT4 licences were: "adopt Windows 95 as the standard operating system for IBM (for $3 discount per Windows 95 licence)"; agree that "Windows 95 is the only operating system mentioned in advertisement" (to gain a $1 MDA reduction); and "reduce, drop or eliminate OS/2" (which would be worth a total of $8 in MDA reduction).
Gates, Ballmer and all Microsoft suckers should be in jail.
What would it mean for Linux to "license h.264 as a whole?"
Who needs to license it? The guys at kernel.org? Or the guys at X.org or the guys at KDE or or Gnome? Or Ubuntu?
What pisses me off is that whoever dares to get a license to use h.264 in Linux will be trolled as a pro-microsoft pro-closed source, son of satan company (e.g. like poor Lindows)
During the 80s and 90s, Microsoft *hated* Open Source/Free Software mainly because their CEO (Bill Gates) was completely against it. Then came 2000 and Ballmer became CEO; as he also dislikes Open Source, the company stance was very similar (but I guess more openly, as Ballmer is an impulsive guy).
My belief is that the next CEO of Microsoft would be one who will be more "leveled" or unbiased against open source. Ultimately, it is the CEO the one who drives the company.
In addition to that, when the next CEO starts, Microsoft would need to have migrated from a pure software company (MS Office, MS SQL Server, MS Windows) to a more SaaS company (web services, AJAX or whatever is the current fad-name); else, MS would become irrelevant.
I am really sure *a lot* of workers at Microsoft like Open Source. They use it and they can see the advantages. However, it is the policy of the company, dictated from the to executives what drives them.
That would be looking for robots as made by humans (e.g. from Silicium and metal) whereas robots made by a life from another planet may be based on Carbon, and hydrogen

Forget all that irrelevant minor shit you mention... the *real* reason would be 30 paid vacation days each year and 35 hour week-work.
I am currently living in working in Germany and even so, I feel like my colleagues in France are *always* in vacation

One corporations' "smart" is another corporation "greedy", "Embrace Extend Extinguish".
So... nowadays is OK in slashdot for companies to EEE?.. or is it only OK when Apple and Google do it?

That is THE COOLEST playmobile/lego thing I have seen in a while... since I melted my lego guys in the then "bleeding edge technology" microwave haha.
As they say now... you men, have one 1 internet.

Shit, it is the same as cryptanalysis and reverse engineering!
I first got attracted to those two by reverse-engineering keycodes and winzip registration key algorithms.

IIRC the most important "Nmap developer" frequents slashdot quite a lot.
Funny that there is no mention of him in the summary.
Yup, I was being a bit sarcastic showing the absurdity of the MAFIAA. if the MAFIAA can apply such logic it then surely everyone else can no?
You *do* now that nowadays advertisements are payed on a *per view* basis and not on a *per click* basis, DONT YOU??
That would be looking for robots as made by humans (e.g. from Silicium and metal) whereas robots made by a life from another planet may be based on Carbon, and hydrogen
