Can someone please do a bit-wise compare between what is received just before the DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)...? I doubt there are any missing bits using the 'cheaper' cable.
That might be a good (new) scheme as well: Coca Cola, Coca Cola Light/Diet Coke, Coca Cola Zero, Coca Cola Vanilla, Coca Cola Cherry, Coca Cola Lime, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola. And it might be extended with other drinks from the brand: Fanta, Sprite, Minute Maid, Fruitopia, Dasani, Simply Orange, (etc)
What you are describing isn't really a language thing, its more the IDE or compiler. Sure we could use smarter compilers and/or IDE's. For example when you forget a semi-colon in Java the compilers are smart enough to point out the exact location... but it doesn't fix it. Probably because it wants you to learn and correct your code...?
I'd rather have very smart tooling which gets to know me and corrects me. A bit like Spring Roo works in Java, a genie which just assists you. But I imagine something even smarter, like you said, on the fly typo-correction, but also using the knowledge other tools have, like FindBug, detecting (possible) coding-errors while writing them. Maybe auto-generate certain structures that are used a lot.
Hrm, this had absolutely nothing to do with the language. It has almost everything to do with the algorithms.
Its very hard to compare languages, maybe if you use the languages to implement the exact same algorithm and let it run for a long while... But that still doesn't really compare it well enough.
Like somebody already said: Bubble sort in C++ is (almost) always slower then a quicksort in Java.
So this machine is open-source and can self-replicate?
So when do I get one?
I think I read it only takes a couple of hours? If the machine does that, the next day you have two, the next 4, the next 8,16,24,48... within a year everybody in the world could own such a machine, pretty cheap!
So if I know somebody who has this machine, I can easily get a copy now? That is so cool, saves me a lot of tinkering hehe!
Then nobody in the world will need to buy coat hooks and doornobs, we just fab it!
This makes me wonder, is generating electricity using this method more efficient to do with heating water to go into a turbine... or using a (huge) stirling engine? I've read that a Stirling Engine is the most energie efficient way to turn heat into movement (thus electricity?).
Can anybody shed some light on this? (no pun intended)
IMO with today's voice recognition software it shouldn't be very hard to make a problem that makes closed captions on-the-fly. A good commercial product that does this would be very good for people with hearing problems.
Maybe software like this already exists, I don't know. Might be worth checking out. Then you can have closed captions with every video/youtube/thingy on the web.
Then we agree to disagree, I think the brain will stop you from noticing the pulses after a while, just like the brain ignores the blinking of your eyes.
Indeed the problem is the 12 degrees tilt.. maybe its possible to mount it onto a 'floating' surface so it will always stay upright. And second, instead of making a real belt, it should probably be worn around the breast (less tilting there when sitting for example?).
Now that I've read some more about it, maybe the HM55B is the best chip for the job, but it would involve some calculation to fire up the right motor. This is something I can't make...:-( Hopefully someone else will make one so I can copy it! If someone does, be sure to send it to hackaday.
This was also the same thing that sprung into my mind, lets make it!
You'll probably be better off with a combination of: - 8 (SILENT!) viberator motors - Dinsmore 1490 Compass - Something to make it pulse (continues buzzing is annoying, once every minute might be better??) - Battery and some wiring + basic electronics stuff.
The belt could be made very small and light weight, probably lasting weeks with some batteries. Who wants to try this??
The idea is pretty cool, but my problem with all the IBM tools it that it looks very bad:)
You can instantly see that the icons (cool green colors) are made a by a graphics designer, but the rest of the website looks like it could be made by any of the millions myspace users. Horrific!
I usually don't like boardgames that take hours to read the rules. I just want to sit down and play it once in a while. When I was at some friends house this weekend we played Cartagena, a very simple but intresting game!
Has anybody else played it?
Because NASA didn't secure their computer properly and have to do it again (costing some money) they are going to have some teenager take the blame..!?
The whole internet is based on getting information from systems, and if NASA is providing this information its their fault...:P
This is indeed a MySpace problem. Using simple Javascript it could simulate user actions and is thus vulnarable.
The problem with the web is always a two-folded, rich content and possibilities but still secure..
One more thing you could do with Javascript is having a simple PHP script that writes this to your database: 'clipboardData.getData("Text");'
This does exacly what you think it does, fetch your clipboard data (might contain personal stuff!!). Lot of people copy-paste things like passwords and forget its still on the clipboard.
One more (older) snippet I found, doesn't work with most PC's nowadays:
A piece of VBSCRIPT you could put on your website, it opens the visitors CD-tray;-)
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If
There are so many things/snippets to be discovered and used for evil purposes..:-(
I've been developing a lot of applications lately with J2EE (thus Webbased). There are some cool things happening there, for example good integration with JSF and Dreamweaver. This lets designers use Dreamweaver while the programmers are programming the back-end.
Also one thing that might be worth looking into is Apache's Velocity, templating at a whole new level.
It would be pretty easy (relativly) to make a message reciever. Once we make that we can get messages from the future.
Here is how I see it working, we set up the device used in the test, but instead of sending one photon into a cable delaying it 50 micro second we loop the end of the cable to the front, so we delay it basicly forever. Now when sombody ends the loop in the future the photon changes its state in the future.
The other photon is read the moment its split. According to the article, if it works (probably not) we can instantly read the 'future' state of the photon. Thus reading what somebody will do with the fiberglass line in the future.
Well, anyway, the internet would become pretty fast when we could instantly change photons from miles away:)
So maybe this is what happend to the dino's, no meteor or anything, just a very big solar-flare..!
This would explain why some died in very large numbers suddenly (initial exposure) and others dying a little more slowly (couple of days/weeks/months) because of the radiation.
And of course, there is a change people will distribute the content... but such is life. I also have more technical (illegal) eBooks then normal books.
If you really want information you should always attent the course. One thing you can do is handing out the presentation you might give, but making it very global. The specific things you tell them instead of having it in the presentation. When the students look at the presentation again they'll (hopefully) remember whay you said, and other people won't.
I attent a lot of courses and thus get a lot of paper handouts. For one thing, I always ask if they could send me the electronic documents. Its a lot easier to search those files for a specific item, and much easier to archive in a good manner.
The programming courses within the company I work for almost always have a cd with the presentation and all the example files. The paperwork disappears into the garbage bin easily.

Whoops, wasn't logged in. Also pretty cool, they immediately posted a blogpost crediting me, tnx guys! http://crowdflow.net/blog/2011/05/01/about-the-java-applet/
There's a conference for TeX? That's an earth shattering thought on its own!

No..!? You mean..? Is it true..? Did they finally found a way to reproduce?
Its not counting by two, its multiplying by two :)
If you call me a stupid git, be sure to do it right. But yes, I made a mistake.
So this machine is open-source and can self-replicate?

Pffftt... I can't take this anymore, I've had it! Too many bad jokes for one day!
Did a little googling, and it seems this kind of software already exists.
Example #1
Example #2

It uses 6 or 7 shades of blue that don't match...
Err.. yes, I'll stop nagging like a woman now.
