at first there where smale germans soon the became fat germans. It's more a matter of evolution and ingnorence that tey'r still fat. I can asure this was before MS claims on FAT We might partition those in two groups MS -Fat and german Fat Altouhg MS recognized later more races and therefore counted til Fat16, widely used in america too. But what if one of these rases would mix up with a german? Gues what Fat32 was born in 1998.
Well it couldnt endup with 32 so then someone had to break this logic and said wtf..! no he didnt he said ntfs! But we sofar failed to understand, what is mentioned by it, in regards to those poor Fat Germans. Probaply wtf would have made them angry so they agreed on the term ntfs
But its not on the surface, expirimental ideas new software are written verry often. Biological computing, or chemical computing, physics emaulation, statistical analyzing marketing software etc etc.
Basicly computers these days have become more powerfull and so we find new ways to use computers. We went beyond the things what we thought in the past was to complex. Think of the first speaking computers, and the mail systems these days who readout your mail. Think of the advanced self learning flight systems. Think of bio engineering and emulating software, drug searching algorythms.
When does this nonsens stop?
Based on so little evidence this Mars life search, is rather a WILL to believe there is life.
There are better candidates for life in our solar system then Mars, take jupiter's moons.
But the fact is it is easier to make people think that life is from mars.
As well 50% of american (might even be higher) believe in little green men.
Rather a mass pscyhose of watching to much startrek and other SiFi, funded by Nasa (to get their budget in return)
Oh men, get a life....
(here on earth...)
basicly you spend a lot i mean a damn lot of money on super fast hardware and expensive SAN's
Most people forget there was also a term called "outscalling) that is, having multiple cheap machines running your applications.. You might not even use clusters hey try it real cheap and distributed.
Try 8 desktops with no SAN runnig your mail, instead of 1 virtualized cluster (for about the same price) okay one may crash but that only affects 1/8 of your users. Compare risk to money efficiency, and valeu, try to determine your costs. As no crashes with an extreme cost isnt a real solution to my opinion. it is Costs what should decide this. And to be true most companies (altough they claim it can not) can have a server down for a hour. And 1 hour is a long time for restoring 1/8 of your users mail.
I'm focused on mail server but it could have SQL or whatever too.
In my opinion this are nightmare solutions altough they give me lot of work. But thinking of how much money is spend for it makes me shame As there are better ways to put your money away. Oh and i'm not thinking this alone there more specialists silencly talking about this, but afraid to say it out loud. I think it should be told more often.
Its not realy the first altough probaply the best currently. I've seen a 2 feet biped robot with face made of a bucket a year ago walking on 2 feets with dynamic stablity. It was some kind of Dutch robot, at the same time there where some Americans also in this project and made their own biped. If i remind it well the Dutch was a more adeptive free walker, it was larger too but quite thin also. It was strange to see then, as it is now
Thats an intresting point, and it reminds me about the first moon mission. As they wanted to the moon they choosed some military trained astronauts. And then in the end it was thought well that they should do * someting * there, (but what?). So then they got a speed training in geology...:)) As it was mostly a space race to be there first, wich was an achievement in a technical way.
A lot these days is still a space race (or fund race) i think. The actualy research is not that high prio. Who else wants to put people on Mars in the future?. While robotic exploration is cheaper and more in reach of our current technology grade.
Just an idea why not used entangled atoms to bypass this distant problem?. As far as i know there is no limit on distance, changes in one atom happens at the same time on the other atom altough they are on different locations. Thats a quantum physic property
But i'm not sure if information can be passed trough this method (wel hack thats worth investigation)
WOW what an amazingly find, Seti found a PC wow. This a big mark in mankinds search in his big question of life. No longer we are alone in the universe. We dont even have to travel lightyears for this contact. As it seams that everywhere we aallready can find Personal Computers. I wonder how suddenly they came here, what do they eat (if they eat at all?) Do they use oxygen, or is a pure electric life from?. Will they be friendly as their invasion continous. Or will they make us their slaves in the end.
Just imagine how long we have searched for this contact to happen.. Gigagiljons of electric energy have been used by machines using the power grid And now it turned out that actualy these machines the so called "PC" are a life form we found.
Well isnt life amazingly funny
just for the record it should be mentioned in a next "transgalactic hitch hickers" series.
Why is there this fasiniation of putting people in such expensive high risk environments.
If you where a gamer and had to concure a distant planet the fastest way.
Then try robotics, no need for water and never lazy and dont need sleep.
Our civilization is much closer in technology to create something like that.
Based on the document the device probaply works in a way that an electromagnetic wave beats up the spead.
Acoording to the article and some pubolcations of the LHC not all the input catches it's flight on those waves.
This results in spreading of those particles, spreading in spead/energy/beam overall its not delieverd as how those particles run trough exactly timed intervals in a focussed way as in the currently operative LHC.
The spreading gives the output a randomnes which i gues, a lot of scientist would not like to see
Man they repeat experiments lots of times and hope for that little change to see something and retry it again and again to get a statistical propability that their measurments are ok...
This device is a bit like an uncontroled afterburner, altough that's still quite an acomplishment.
This spreading is probaply the reason why it cannot be made much more longer then that.
But who knows perhaps later they put such a device in large on the LHC too, who knows..
Why should such data be on a laptop ???? or on a usb STICK ?????
duhhhhh
Get it al secured let them work trough an encrypted citryx metaframe connection to a central cluster of applications..
Laptops becomes toys and nightmares if you put sensiteve data on it.
Duhh do i need to tell such things ?
No i shouldnt but sadly i do because ik keep fun in simple reminders to high end security IT personal.. Every dumbo could have thought about this..
ahh what a looooooooooooooooooosers
Ehm and if you had windows you did put encrypted ntfs on that USB or didnt you???
Or as an administrater you better had that policy to disable usb sticks.
How sad if this was only a bit more organized discussion. Now its a forum and you say something and next day no-one puts attention to it. If people could bring in points and parties could discus it. For and against, or explain why against, or why it wouldn't work and then others solving so something would work, but none of that:(
The internet has become like TV its drugs for the mind of the mass.
This is true but there is a problem...
Plankton use CO2 and sunlight
Entualy plankton dies and sinks down forming at the botom of the ocean carbonhydroxides
Well anyway it looks a bit like ice but it is carbon under high pressure at the bottom of the sea.
So plankton does use co2, dies and goes down.
The risk and danger is however that if the oceans get a few degrees warmer then they are today then this icy from of carbon at the bottom is going to melt.
If that happens it will happen massivly (oh and lot of life forms will die).
Plankton is a step sure a thing to do think its the best co2 converter
But perhaps we might also take a look or search to find if there are bacteria who can convert CO2 in air, or the icy CO2 at the bottom of the oceans to a more stable form.
(no one told this was gonna be easy, altough i wonder wy we dont feed the plankton this idea is quit old, i could imagine even fishing people creating plankton rich sea areas to farm fish.)
Since blackholes we know how much mass can be stored in space before it colapses. In way mass can be described in particle waves, looking this way at mass how much information can be stored in space there must be a maximum The next maximum is the maximum change rate of information, what is the maximum information flow possible in space.
I'll give it a try imagine 2 blackholes moving near light speed (mass maxx and speed is max) then coliding think you reach there somewhere a maxium of processing speed for this universe. Perhaps thats a quaser??
Altouhg i'm now verrry clasical physical thinking, it might be that in 'quantum world' this is solved differently.
From another perspective They say it works like there are xxxx paralelworlds trough wich those calculations go. Then what i dont understand.. why should our world have the correct answer and not be one of those paralel worlds with wrong answers ???. (why do i always think of that) Has that to do with colapsing to a 'reality state' (acka quantum noise from outside)? And may it go wrong with our world somewhere overthere?? That could be dangerous indeed i see, altough i'm unsure what it would end up.
On the other side the universe is abel to run on quantum mechanics in it it runs many stars, so i think it is powerfull enough to run it. And if the universe would be a kind of Matrix simulation well then there sure would be somekind of Neo guy who removes bad programs.
Going to nuclear is only a transformation of waste.
Simply this is a shift in waste not a solution.
Then suddenly its no longer CO2 but it is some radioactive stuff that needs to be buried for thousends of years underground. One might store CO2 in the first place underground and skip the expensive uranium in between.
Remember uranium isn't an endless power solution either, thats why we try to research fusion. Uranium is a limited feul on earth.
The best things here would be a natural energy source.
Actualy a tree only stores carbon but when the tree dies, it releases it.
So i doubt this is a solution.
Altough well perhaps it does but then trees are not the big "air converters" that is plankton.
if you take by ratio of people then Iceland is using more of it per head.
However this is great news, go ahead use it and stop funding terrorist states by buying oil.
(not saying all those states are like that, but a few are).
Well programmers dont listen to users, instead they listen to the one who pays their bill, he's often not the user who will use the software. Probaply he's an interim manager with different targets. So when the product is finished and the people should start using it there is often a to big mismatch, to much klicking everywhere and a teribble GUI. And most likely you come close to a product which allready exsisted but seamed to be more expensive in the beginning (later all changes and fixes make it a lot cheaper probaply..)
So also take a damn good look on the market to check if something allready exists. As real breaktroughs of new software are rare..
Hack even distributed mp3 downloading is an old idea. So you realy think you have something new ???
Next..
People poorly organize, themselves have difficulty to explain their isseu to a programmer and the programmer well he just has to finish something. He simply hits real problems (sad he missed that math lessons).
Advice go to the users dont think of anything stay open to them.
Let them draw on a drawing board what they would like to see.
Then after that part start programming, when programming use technology that the company is planning to use also after your product, probaply something they can support themselve.
If they understand VB or C+ or C# or whatever stay with that.
If they have SQL dont force to use a lotusnotus DB or MYSQL or whatever. Use current (but not outdated) technology.
Ehm sorry to say MS quite future orientated and all their products mixup quit reasonable within their programing environment. So it might be handy to use that. Ofcourse you could bringin linux and your assembler knowledge combined with an oracle DB, would probaply use smaller code, but how easy would it be to extend or fix that code..
Ooooh and learn to program in multiple threads dont have that single process halting your performance because now in real life it has to deal with 50000 records instead of your theory test model who used 100 records. Understand the performance of the hardware talk with System engineers. I'm a guy like that and sometimes work together with a programmer because of a performance issue in their software.
Wel simply why it doenst work good...
why should warm ground air prefer to go trough a tube to cold areas?
If it simply can bypass it and go from everywhere outside the tube up or down, with less friction. The same goes for the oposite direction.
But no wories there is realy enough energy on this planet.... you only have to dig a hole in the earth, as Lava is quite hot you know, and even without such deep holes, below earth there is enough heat energy stored which make oil and uranium look like a joke. Its only politics of some oil & electric companies who dont want the masses of people to know that. Whenever you go to iceland you see it can be done with not that much engineering (okay their place is ideal, but it can be done everywhere if you have some enginering skills, the start of such projects will cost something but he energy was never for free...)
A bit strange we dig a hole from france to england but going down is momre difficult ????
Sorry to say Russia has a big funding problem. Altough it had more advanced rocket designs then NASA (turbo charged rockets). These days there is not much left over from this kosmonaut space agencie
NASA has its money problems too that space shuttle costs just to much It takes away lots of money from other science projects.
ESA is quite commercial has not realy a funding problem, they often launch small scale science missions. Overall ESA has launched lots of missions but its not publicing it that much as NASA does, reason they have a different funding system; they dont require public media.
China if your thinking of efficiency then probaply their rockets are the best in manfuacturing design terms. (not in terms of feul efficiency or weight launch lift) never the less serieproduction and a more simple less advanced rocket design makes more reliabele cargo lifts possible.
Just for you to know life without oxygen existed on earth before oxygen life. The swing over to oxygen breading bacteria is even a bit less understood part in science since oxygen is naturaly highly oxidative and destroys (like burns) most things. over time life had evolved and learned how to use it. But it never started with oxygen life. So for all those planets out there with no oxygen there is a chance there is life too.
Slashdot Mirror
at first there where smale germans soon the became fat germans.
:)
It's more a matter of evolution and ingnorence that tey'r still fat.
I can asure this was before MS claims on FAT
We might partition those in two groups MS -Fat and german Fat
