The theory of multiple intelligences says about the "Visual-Spatial" intelligence:"There appears to be a high correlation between spatial and mathematical abilities, which seems to indicate that these two intelligences are not independent. Since solving a mathematical problem involves manipulating symbols and numbers, spatial intelligence is involved.
You might think you are bad at math, and you can find spreadsheets easier, but it's not because you are a "visual person" - there are others visual-spatial's that will choose RPL more than a speadsheet.
My hat's off to you if you can think numerically, but I haven't learned how yet.
My hat's off if you can write an spreadsheet formula without thinking numerically. As fas as I know you can't define functions geometrically in any of the available spreadsheets. Having a spreadsheet implies a graphic way of organizing/presenting the information, but reasonably numerical skills are always necessary for writing functions.
Also, there is a widely used (some people consider is somewhat of a standard) calculator language called RPL, supported by many handheld calculators and computer software (including GPL alternatives).
why does everything has to be black or white? Just be careful of what you write in profile (I only post when I want to drive traffic to some link), and don't friend people you don't/barely know. It is much safe to have a controlled profile than risking yourself to be subject of a fake profile.
The problem are not the tools, but how people use/misuse them. If you are smart enough you can make this service (or any other service) work fine without exposing yourself. It's not like they are watching you from a satellite and posting pics of you every 5 mins without your consent, they publish what YOU publish.
The way damages were calculated is detailed by the document linked (and was upheld by appeal, as it most likely substantially underestimated the real damages).
Next time court should hire RIAA lawyers and let them make the math of the damages.
I blame life in a modern city causing people to hardly ever hear silence, which makes them uncomfortable with it.
Have you ever been in the jungle? I do and I can tell you that THAT is a noisy place. So are water falls, rivers, beaches with crashing waves and noisy birds... Nature IS noisy!
I know they can install cameras if they want, I was talking about the assumption that people "can do what they want with their property".
Also, wearing glasses and a hat (more than enough for breaking most facial recognition software) should not be considered a disguise, many people use them (together or separately) as part of their "look". Don't know in the US, but in my country there are anti-discrimination laws that protect the right of people to enter a establishment regardless the clothes they wear / color of skin / etc.
It's their property they can do what they want with it. It's no different from me running facial recognition against people who walk up my stairs. (which i dont do btw..)
No, they can't. People's rights must be respected even in private property, that's why local bars can't install cameras on girls bathrooms. You can install facial recognition, but people can still walk on the street with glasses and a hat.
There is strong evolutionary pressure for nutritional efficiency. Carrying around muscles you don't need uses up calories you could have used to live through the drought. Not a problem now for most humans, but it really mattered for all animals until fairly recently.
Yeah? so if a single human would have been able to kill a Mamut with his bare hands it wouldn't have been considered as an evolutionary advantage? If they could have built a house by themselves using 1 ton stones by himself? how about ripping the head off saber tooth tigers?
I don't think it's an evolutionary issue, as parent says, we don't know what we will break in the long term if humans start using this drug. Maybe each generation will loose 10% of it's IQ, which will be hard to measure in monkeys and mice.
Emotional intelligence will raise children, take care of the elder, cure the mentally ill, hug you when you are sand, and most important, build families and societies. You can't build a society taking away feelings (after all the "ultimate goal" of almost every human is the pursuit of happiness) as you can't build it without machines & buildings.
Both types of intelligence is what brings balance to the force, they are both equally important. Nature is wise.
while playing Crysis. I haven't seen DX11, but from what I've seen on DX9 vs DX10, the only way you couldn't tell the difference is if the game graphics are poorly programmed. I am sure anyone that has seen Crysis superhigh on DX10 in 30+ fps could tell the difference.
Is it worthy? well, it depends on how much the gamer values graphic quality, so it's really very subjective. But don't say there is no visible difference.
Once the load balancing has been stablished you can set up OpenVPN to encrypt the traffic between the two (I like using openvpn + brigde to do a Layer 2 vpn). You can even get more fancy and add traffic shaping to distribute bandwith, prioritize packets (for a lower latency in ssh or terminal server traffic for example).
Shouldn't that mean that the owners of the technology are the taxpayers? At least US citizens should be allowed to buy wi-fi hardware at less price than the rest of the world. Besides, if CSIRO is funded by taxpayers, they don't need the money to survive as a company - they are already being funded by the taxpaying US population.
If US citizens could have free access to use/develop products with technology that was developed with their money maybe we will see the "made in USA" logo in many more products (like in the 80's).
There might be evidence but we are still not aware of it. Humans where surrounded by evidence of gravitational force, but it was not until Newton that we became aware of it. Same happened with other scientific discoveries, they began with a strange idea that lead to a more detailed observation, then hypothesis, etc.
This might (or might not) be the first step in becoming aware of a phenomena strange to us, discarding the idea before we try to observe it closely will be shooting ourselves on the foot.
1. Most of that imported hardware being sold here are COMPLETE computers (working CPU + keyboard + mouse / monitor for an additional price) after fixing bumps and scratches.
2. Many of those "used" computers are equal or more powerful than an average ATOM and is being sold at 200 - 300 US$ (new netbooks go for 400+ US$). They are mainly used for people who want internet access and doing their school/university assignments.
3. The useful spare parts (memory, processors, DVD's, keyboards and mouse) are sold for CHEAP (new 160 Gb. SATA is about 65US$, used 80 Gb is about 20 US$ - used IBM keyboards go for 3.5 US$, same price for used IBM / Compaq / HP mouses).
Considering we don't have newegg.com prices here, getting a working computer for 250 US$ so your bugging adolescent siblings can access facebook and messenger is a relief for many many families, and it gives them access to technology.
You can also do a search for photorealism paintings and look for the "dawbs of paint" you are talking about.
I got a 19th century oil painting at my house and I have looked it with a magnifying glass, and I can tell you there are no "dawbs of paint". Too bad my photo camera broke and I can't take a close up picture of it.
Anyone who has ever watched an oil painting knows that, for hundreds of years, painters have had more "resolution and colors" than the highest multimedia/gaming equipment available. Painting with oil is an "analog" process that can't be compared with digital imaging. Until a "Mona Lisa" picture in our computer has the same detail and resolution than the original people will always demand better graphics/hardware.
maybe it was "powerful" in 2005 when it was unveiled. But for today's standards, a Xenos graphics chip is a joke. Xenos GPU was the precursor of the Radeon R600 processor, which was used up to Radeon HD 3400. You can get a Radeon HD 4650 for under 50 bucks, and will totally obliterate Xbox's graphics capabilities.
Problem is gaming companies are making many titles "console only", or their PC ports are crappy emulation (like GTA4) - that leaves gamers with no choice but buying/using a console with outdated hardware.
Wing Commander - it was the series that defined "cutting edge" gaming for a generation. I'd love to see this done properly on modern technology - including the heavy story emphasis and cheesy cutscenes.
we all miss Mark Hammill appearance in cheesy cutscenes...
and people with transplanted organs perceiving memories of the donor.
Thats called making shit up. You can claim to perceive "memories" all day long, since as long as they are vague and unspecific, you can't prove anything with it. On the other side if you would remember specific stuff, like the name of an anonymous donor, his phone number, etc. then you would have some good testable evidence that something special is going on, but so far, I don't think that has ever happened.
Considering muscles store motor memory, and considering your brain is connected to the transplanted organ and transmits information bi-directionally (instructions to make the organ perform a certain task) - you really call "making shit up" to consider the possibility that other types of memories were stored in the donated organ and later transmitted to the receiver's brain?
Our brains connect with reality in many ways our conscious self can't perceive.
What evidence have you? Go on and make shit up, spout it off. Meanwhile Scientists who actually live to figure this shit out for reals and progress human knowledge will model the human brain and study it. In 10 years time they may say as a matter of fact our brains connect with reality in many ways our conscious self can't perceive. If and when they prove it, you'll still be wrong.
When a bacteria gets in your bloodstream your don't consciously perceive it, but still your brains sends those white cells to the battle. So there you have a brain connection to reality that conscious can't perceive.
In addition, this process was undocumented & "unknown" for almost all know human history, but it always existed. How many brain processes do you think are still undocumented & unmeasured - but exist?

Does this mean kids learn better from virtual sim's than from real people? Or that virtual teachers are better than poorly trained teachers?

rarely reaches the mass media news? but when a filesharer "steals" some software things happens in a completely different way.

Linux & iproute2 should be more than enough for what you want.

for a project like this, CUDA can give a great amount of processing power for a very low price.
What is CUDA?
logic? it's just greed.
Terrible resolution in an oil painting? what are you talking about? check this 2500 x 1600 photo of a painting made by Nicola Bockelmann and tell me where you see "dawbs of paint".
