Gee, whiz. Where have I been for the "past several months" while "people have been talking about source code." This new-fangled technology gets my head in a spin, glad Microsoft could explain it to me.
Actually, that's a completely different idea. Todd McFarlane simply created a publishing house, same as author/artists (such as Scott McCloud or Dave Sim) had done for years. Image was different only because the founders left Marvel to profit on their success rather than for artistic reasons.
So here's the idea: Copyleft should take the graphic on the back of the t-shirt and flip it horizontally, so it's a mirror-image. The front of the shirt should read Mirror DeCSS If they're forced to recall the DeCSS shirt, they should offer this one as a free replacement. Hell, I'd buy two.
I don't intent to troll, but I haven't been impressed by the stillframes anyway, so they might as well MPG the thing and cut the filesize down to 1.2 GB.
Given the fact that my mom still can't figure out which end of the horrible little hockey puck mouse is up, I can't wait to see her try a wireless mouse that has no buttons.
That's great to hear. Maybe it harks back to the stereotype that all programmers are just zit-scarred former D&D players, but I've definitely noticed a lack of female web developers. Now, I've worked with female graphic artists (not designers) and project managers, but I really haven't met more than a handfull of all-around programmer/coder/designer-types.
I hope Digitaldivas can influence a lot more of the teenagers and kids to kick open notepad, get over to webmonkey and start creating.
I've never offered myself as freelance on one of these sites, but it's been quite a while since I freelanced.
As a web design/develppment firm, I know we look to local freelancers as outsource agents rather than a freelance site when we have rough deadlines or take on too much work.
Everything helps, especially when you're in a dry spot, so surely freelancers should use sites that offer service. More importantly, make sure every firm in your area has your skillset and contact info on file.
I miss the schedule of freelancing and the pay 9when things were good), so I love to help out those in town that still live that way.
I think there' confustion between multi-tasking, multi-threading and multi-processing.
Pretty much, you can think of it like this: multi-tasking = talking and chewing gum multi-threading = holding a conversation while feeling someone up under the table with your feet multi-processing = having two brains.
Multi-tasking came into the MacOS with Multifinder for System 6 and became integrated with the OS as of System 7. More than one application are open at once, but you only use one at a time.
Multi-threading was adopted with System 7.5. Background processes and by virtue of the fact that a mail app can check in the background while you're reading a page in a browser. Don't confuse OS-level multi-threading with Finder's ability to multi-thread (SpeedDoubler for System 7.5 and integrated in MacOS 8).
Multi-processing on the mac started with a few rare protoypes but became commercially available with the Daystar Genesis line of Mac clones. Since MacOS 8, multi--processing is supported but on an application level rather than system wide. Photoshop can make some use of a second processor, but with low efficiency. A system with two G4s - if properly assembled - wouldn't come near two G4 systems running separately.
OSX should herald a very efficient multi-processing system and a wide availability of multiprocessor configurations. However, nothing short of a Finder rewrite (ala MacOS 8) would really do much to help.
The problem with this century is that we want robots to do our work, but refuse to build a society where -- if all work was doen for us -- we would be happy. Robots that buld cars or make candy bars should have made workers at Ford or Leaf able to spend time with their kids, relax at the park, etc. Instead they're homeless and unable to find work to pay for food, cars, candy bars, etc.
I'm all for developments in robotic technology that allow for a culture of leisure, but not one where owners of robots make money at the expense of humans.
Really the only future of a robotic society is one where everyoneworks to buy a robot as a proxy worker, which would be leased to factories and employers.
Granted, this is certain to be old hat in another two years. As the article mentions, this a quadruple of the previous record of 10mbit from two years ago.
In the meantime, I want a point to point from my office to my house. I'll never have to get dressed again.
Talking about this at dinner last night, someone mentioned seeing a spider that looked for potential trademark violations. Any chance large corporations are just spidering for similar terms (a step up form googling and suing). Just a fear that technology and the web are making it cheaper and faster for coprprations to attack artists.
One thing to try: take a slightly damp soft cloth, same as you'd use to clean the display and gently massage the pixel. You'll get the weird afterimage like when you touch the screen, but that's OK. Sometimes ON pixels fix themselves with a bit of manual stimulation.
Probably get moderated down for offtopic, but what sort of force is required to open a can of coke? I've been playing with Mindstorms and the best I've gotten was a helicoptor that breakdances (although not in time to the beat).
Can a Lego Mindstorms bot articulate small enough to open a can? Is it strong enough?
This game might be great, but I'm wary of anything that tries to make the Palm OS a gaming platform. I can see the bickering beginning already over Dragonball vs ARM and color versus monochrome. In my mind, computing speeds advance only for scientific and gaming needs.
Gaming on the Palm will demand faster, more intensive resources (not to mention batteries) until the bloody thinng forgets it's supposed to be a neat little replacement for pen, note pad, address book, and all the other things we keep in our cargo pants.
The only productivity device I have left is about to start chipping into my productivity. Help!
Whether or not Sound Forge is Open Source, it's a damn fine program. You can't expect teams that have been devloping successful proprietary software to jump on the band wagon all at once. Rather, they should be congratulated for their first step, however small.
I know I get my jollies from twitch games (LANparties and the like) but every so often a game like Alpha Centauri or Dungeon Keeper creeps along and keeps me up for nights. I spen my entire christmas break a year ago playing Dungeon Keeper on the company's testing machine (the only wintel system) while everyone else was on vation or with their family. Not to get the hopes up too hight, but games like Unreal and Messiah might have taken years and years to developbut ultimately they were worth the wait. I sure hope B&W fits more with those than Daikatana; I trust P. Molyneux on this one.
Woz, what was your final gameboy tetris high score. You bumped me off the Nintendo Power list with some pseudonym, so I'm just wondering what to aim for.
Why eToys isn't pressing the suit.

Perhaps eToys just wants Etoy up and running again so all those people who ordered worthless pieces of merchandising plastic will try to return it to Etoy, freeing eToys from worrying about refunds and exchanges.

If there's a Linux install for StrongARM, is there a port to Newton (thousand model) or eMate?
I can only imagine running a web server on a Newton... til the double-A's run out!
Can +this+ open a can of coke? :)

I'm not certain what level of HTTPS iCab supports, but as of the latest preview release (2.0) SSL and HTTPS are supported.
iCab uses Apple's URL Access SDK for that, which is included in MacOS 8.6 and higher.

Goody. Now I can replace my mail server.
Um. I misread the article as megabit. Sweet mother of John Carmack! Double wow.

What happens when we get molecular computing and then have to double the complexity in a year and a half?

This is precisely right.
Everything etoys wanted from this suit has been accomplished except the handing over of the domain name etoy.com to etoys.
Their holiday season is over; the more people that go to Etoy.com to return some worthless eToys garbage, the happier the crass merchandise site is.
