There weren't many details about the network the guy was on, but where did the NIC load the nt boot loader from? Did this thing find and install it from a server somewhere?
There were only 100 of these things made according to the article. This makes it very unlikely that I can get my hands on one.
But, I've got a DirectTV DSL modem sitting in my closet. It's got a PowerPC chip sitting on it, and some flash memory. I would love to see an article on how to get Linux installed on that thing.
I think every movie is better than the book. And usually the second time they make a movie, they do a much better job than the first time. The same goes for music. Musicians hardly ever get the song right the first time.
I think the award was reduced to only about $300,000. I think that $300,000 is less than the value of my nads, but by the time I'm 72, I might decide that 300 grand was a good price to get for them.
Even simpler. Make a ram disk out of some of that extra memory and use it as your swap. No need to make it too large. 64 megs ought to be enough to satisfy any perverse need for speed supported by swap.
That will not get expensive. Swap space is usually only twice as big as your RAM, but if you've got way more RAM than you already need, you don't need it at all.
Can we help out in some way? Like perhaps a project called "The Sane Linus Project" or something? We accept donations and use them to purchase nothing other than passes for Linus to the Turkish sauna closest to Linus' place of residence?
If you knew the facts of the case, you'd agree that the woman was injured by McDonalds, and she should be compensated. The coffee was way too hot, and there was nothing at all that she did to cause the accident, nor could you say that it was her stupidity, ignorance, or greed that led to the judgement in her favor.
you cannot map those directly into digital experiences
But you can! Every experience is a product of some state 'X' that the brain is assuming. No state is repeated twice, since state X is a snapshot of the individual states of all the neurons taken as a whole. But there are substates that can be repeated, and those can cause things like hunger, thirst, etc.
Recreating those states would recreate those feelings.
As you can tell, I'm a materialist when it comes to my attempts to explain what a brain is, what a person is, and things like that.
The world doesn't need to be emulated, only the machine itself.
Example: I run VMWare on my laptop. The Windows ME OS that is running inside of it has no idea that it's running on a virtual machine. And it thinks that it has an AMD PCNET ethernet adapter. Little does it know that it's really a Linksys. "Do you think that's air you're breathing?", said Morpheus:-)
I'm not necessarily talking exclusively about emulating something inside of a machine. I'm only talking about emulating the hardware itself. An artificial brain that was constructed from a real person, that functions exactly as the wetware would have would not also require an artificial world. It could live in the one we have now.
Also, I doubt that an intelligence would spot the flaws in the simulation. For example, what if it turns out that we are living in a simulator, and the quantum behavior of particles was really an artifact of the digital simulation. Those particles were meant by the creators of our simulation to be continuous functions, but in a digital computer, that's not possible. Are we fooled? Sure we are. We've got all kinds of smart people off working on quantum mechanics to explain this weird behavior we see.
I am not claiming that we live in a simulator. I am just saying that for people who would live in a simulator, any quirks in the universe wouldn't look like mistakes. They would just look like that's how the universe is supposed to work.
The original claim was that aspartame was a problem for normal people, which is completely false. It's been shown to be safe, unless you have that specific problem you're talking about.
Slashdot Mirror
Does it have a free C++ compiler? How about one that costs money?
Isn't there some precedent here by which Mozilla doesn't allow referer from Slashdot to hit their website?
And now we've just slashdotted them through a different page.

It's important to put the
Look at your /etc/aliases file. I run Exim on my domain, and that's all you need to do to set it up. When you want to blackhole an address do this:
:include:/etc/bounce-message
slashdot-1:
That will blackhole slashdot-1@pdrap.org (my domain)
To send everything to a single user add the line:
*: pdrap
That sends everything to the address pdrap@pdrap.org no matter where it was addressed to.
I don't use this setup anymore though. I just use SpamProbe with a procmail filter to invoke it.
I would expect that non-US'ians as you call them would know more about H1-B than US'ians. And yes, you guessed right.

I agree. The desk must be very sturdy.
It's not a troll, because I don't expect a response. The slight mockery is the entire message.
The miniseries is either good or bad. To say it is bad because it's a film version of a book is worth mocking.
I think every movie is better than the book. And usually the second time they make a movie, they do a much better job than the first time. The same goes for music. Musicians hardly ever get the song right the first time.
But the Amiga had an HCF instruction. Halt and Catch Fire.
The Dune miniseries was AWESOME! In places it was even better than the books that inspired it. So, I'm not really sure what you are talking about.
And, just like the book version of Children of Dune was better than the first one, I think the miniseries will also be better.
I just hope they get a chance to do God Emperor of Dune. That was my favorite.
"Can you see that little red number, punk?" Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Ozone isn't going to be very good for anything made of rubber. Like keyboard parts, and lots of other parts.
I think the award was reduced to only about $300,000. I think that $300,000 is less than the value of my nads, but by the time I'm 72, I might decide that 300 grand was a good price to get for them.
Even simpler. Make a ram disk out of some of that extra memory and use it as your swap. No need to make it too large. 64 megs ought to be enough to satisfy any perverse need for speed supported by swap.
The judge agreed, and they were reduced. But the question I would ask is "how much would you consider your 'nads to be worth?"
That will not get expensive. Swap space is usually only twice as big as your RAM, but if you've got way more RAM than you already need, you don't need it at all.
Just add the RAM and be done with it.
That's right. You stated it succinctly.

So, what is that quickpoint pointing device? Is it like a Thinkpad clitoris? I can't use touchpads, so I only use Thinkpads.
