Perelman would not say whether his objection to awards extended to the Clay Institute's million-dollar prize. "I'm not going to decide whether to accept the prize until it is offered," he said.
They offer the prize 2 years from publication, so unless the matter isn't settled until then, there will be some people scratching their heads. The article says that Perelman earned "more than enough" in America in his early career to last the rest of his life, but he's living with his mother on a diet consisting of "bread, cheese and milk." I doubt a extra cash is ever overlooked by someone that is frugal.
I thought you meant Ethernet over Power(notice the overwhelming demand bit). Ethernet doesn't have any inherent powering, although it has some unused wires you could in theory use to power a device, but you would need to some funky stuff. Probably a bit ambitious;) But anyway, I'm looking forward to devices that use EoP since most electronic devices in your home--tv, vcr, dvd player--already need a power plug so might was well piggy back off of that to feed HD. Also some great home-automation features seem really practical with that setup. My whole point is that wireless is most practical for mobile devices and what's the point of watching HD on a 2 inch screen? HD stays wired.
Speed goes up and power goes down with die scaling!
This isn't automatic. Intel basically changed their whole architecture and that IS a big reason why the power went down. They used Pentium-M's core low voltage design, and since power is the square of voltage (P=V^2/R) reducing voltage a little bit will tremendously reduce power dissipated. If anything, keeping power a constant and reducing area will decrease heat dissipated, and you can now cook 2 eggs instead of 1. Anyway, changing manufacturing processes requires a new multi-BILLION dollar factory and I doubt anyone likes making that decision. Reducing a die size does increase yields meaning you get more processors per wafer. And I wouldn't count on higher speeds in the future but on lower power and more parallelism(cores). (ahh threading *head asplode*)
"Public discussions are part of what it takes to make changes in the
trillions of graphics published each year. You have got to get the
word out; there is nothing like being in The New York Times or on
the slashdot website to get the word out."
Heh, the old "If it sucks, why are you stealing it" argument. Not to beat a dead horse, but you can hardly call it stealing. You can call it curiosity. I think pretty much everyone has long ago figured out the scheme where they hype one single good song on a CD and you buy it only to find out the rest is crap. People are just protecting their investments. How else do you explain this:
69 percent said they thought it was legal to copy a CD from a friend who purchased the original. By comparison, only 21 percent said it was legal to copy a CD if a friend got the music for free. Similarly, 58 percent thought it was legal to copy a friend's purchased DVD or videotape, but only 19 percent thought copying was legal if the movie wasn't purchased
Call it "American Capitalist" where you vote(buy) for products(music/movies) that you like. If only you could allocate your individual tax dollars that way instead of trusting it to the "lockbox" you would have more faith in people's choices.
Yeah what happened to those Arab looking guys? Apparently they were buying prepaid phones, unlocking and then selling them. That's conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering? Even worse than the people that hype these things are the ones that are so damn embarassed to break the whole thing off instead try to send the people for jail...for what unlocking phones?? Why isn't that illegal?

Thus, motivation appears to be a more important factor than innate ability in the development of expertise. It is no accident that in music, chess and sports--all domains in which expertise is defined by competitive performance rather than academic credentialing--professionalism has been emerging at ever younger ages, under the ministrations of increasingly dedicated parents and even extended families.
Philip E. Ross, a contributing editor at Scientific American, is a chess player himself and father of Laura Ross, a master who outranks him by 199 points.
Hardly a fair enucleation, but given his pompous expertism and preponderance I can hardly blame myself.
Maybe real gamers don't find Macs useful? The same article says that consoles have less piracy. I wonder why people would pirate less where there was more opportunity to do so. Oh my god! I need my thinking cap!
This sounds like Bill's "Damn Hobbyists" rant. Also the "poor starving inventor" line of reasoning is close. But the fact is more people will pay for something that is useful to them than shamelessly steal it. Think of it this way: if you are using somebody's shamelessly ripped code in your app, you get too look at that every single time you work with the app. But then again, some people don't have any respect for themselves or others.
Radio stations get the music for free, but have to pay royalties to play it. They also have esoteric rules that you can't play the same song or two or more songs from a same album in a certain timeframe. They make the shit so complicated on purpose. I wonder if we will ever get rid of these cartels.
You have to remember that other people need oil too. When you have the spicket you can artificially inflate the price and control that only the people you like get the oil.
Thinking is not the same as talking to other people about it, buying equipment/manuals, getting ready to execute the plan. What do you think these tinfoil hats are for, fashion?
Both would require special blank DVD discs that will use the Content Scramble System (CSS) for encryption and will be compatible with the millions of existing DVD players in the marketplace today.
You think they would charge the same as normal DVDs? I think not...

How about programming a robot using GPS to do the same? Would be a hell of a project.

You will get a thousand reasons why you should have considered that before posting.

If that is code distribution, then I don't want to see it "open sourcing."
If you were a musician, you wouldn't need to ask such stupid questions.

There are some videos available on youtube, in case you want to spare them some bandwidth.
