seriously slashdot, theres a difference between actual news and pure backyard bullshit.
anyone with even the most remote fucking grasp of physics and flight
should be comfortable debunking his claims as a complete lie.
most commercial helicopters stall out at anything greater than 8000ft; most of the ones flying around my city stick to around 600-800 ft ceilings..
The CH-47 Chinook twin rotor helicopter is used by the USAF to rescue climbers on Mount Denali (McKinley) in AK. It can reach an altitude in excess of 19000 to land at an elevation of around 18000. The biggest problem at that point is restarting the engines, so a special storage device directs pure oxygen into the engine inlet to restart.
the highest altitude helicopter currently in existence is the AS350. A pilot named Didier Delsalle of France landed it on the summit of Mount Everest (8,850 meters) in 2005...and the record is entirely speculative/disputed.
finally, A blackhawk military helicopter with a 1700 horsepower engine still only goes ~190 kias.
its a half-page blog post from the systems vendor, nvidia, singing the praises of their customer. as a computer scientist i want an independent scientific review...so should you, slashdot 2.0
"Andy Keane joined NVIDIA in 2006 as GM of the new GPU Computing business unit. Previously, he was a VP at start-ups Morphics and Ageia, which focused on the development of parallel computing technologies for the telecoms and consumer industries. "
oh goodie...the blog isnt even from a scientist at nvidia, just one of their general managers.
Ill save some time for ya, the other link is just third party shit from HPCwire singing the praises of nvidia, plugging their NASDAQ tag, and once again singing the praises of nvidia with sponsored ads.
oh, and of course authors will insist [insert potential rival competitor country here] invest more in high performance computing.
is separated accordingly by threat level so im reading, which i anticipate means i'll need to hop in the "brown people" line at some point in the near future and turn myself inside out in the fervent act of proving im patrio-tastic enough to board a jetliner owned by a company my tax dollars have likely bailed out numerous times.
smacks of the fluent anticommunist rhetoric that only americans have managed to drum to a fever pitch. maybe china is right, maybe theyre wrong; it changes nothing. hacking happens for numerous reasons both political and apolitical in the worlds largest internet corporations. Yet, stories about china and their malevolent, evil red hackers abound on slashdot for no other reason than the majority of us are from a generation fed nothing but delta force commando movies and virulent anticommunist propaganda designed to confirm the myth that communists are some unspeakable form of evil and hate the american way of life.
for something constructive, how about we report on a technical analysis or countermeasures google is taking in general to combat hacking against their marketing empire masquerading as an email service? I could care less about governments, be they communist or capitalist and their ensuing newspapers.
as i slowly come to realize each day i am the product of corporations like google.com and not the consumer, I am incrementally dropping support for their "cloud" applications.
a pedestrian grasp of social inequality recognizes the chances of his investment "paying off" are remote. the donation is the whimsy of a rich and powerful man who obviously read a few social science or crowdsourcing articles and became incensed to offset his tax burden through some form of experimental donation.
100,000 dollars is alot of money, certainly, but it isnt anywhere near enough to build and sustain an innovative technology company. startups typically work with around 1-2 million dollars. afterwards you'll need to take into account your level of social "power." How well are you connected with bankers, lawyers, and the technology industry as a whole?
microsoft is still genuinely dedicated to higher education and wants to help students more than Apple. im a computer science student and wasting money on a mac just doesnt make sense for me if all it does is get me a discount on an ipod.
If i win a promotional PC, does slashdot recommend FreeBSD or Linux for CS300?
do we seek to achieve? if i no longer have immediate access to the navigation bar, i no longer have access to immediately navigate away from a site ive visited. I cant see direct changes or actions in the gets and posts im using as a developer. I place my trust implicitly in google to detect and proactively handle threats to my browsing as i literally have no immediate idea what site im viewing (google.com vs google.harbin.haxxor.ch.)
because if we didnt have something to flee from in cringing terror at all times, politicians would be forced to account for our failing states, education systems, healthcare infrastructure, employment, and foreign policy.
step 1: Log into your SCADA environment and observe controllers accordingly
step 2: issue commands to check if you are you an active ally of the United States government with regular trade and economic ties and no dissenting opinion of its policy?
step 3: log out of your SCADA environment, sigh despondently as you lift your hands from the Dell keyboard, pick something off the value menu at McDonalds for lunch today.
of this article is the summaries statement that it will report information back to the good guys. seeing as the 'good guys' have a track record of illegal wiretaps and gps surveillance against muslim students and the average american, i dont think this bot is worthy of too much praise.
because wikileaks exposing corrupt dictatorial governments isnt interesting if they're already widely understood to be corrupt, and dictatorial.
going after america is far more useful, because as we're told on the news the land of the free and home of the brave is fair and balanced for anyone to have their fair share at becoming a billionaire.
Wikileaks challenging the "america is right" assertion is far more important than wikileaks reminding us tyrants are still tyrants. wikileaks is correcting our understanding of american government; that between the soviet union and the united states, very few differences remain.
isnt correct; the article seems to contradict himself. carmack says direct3d is better because of incompatible updates made to the API, where as OP says its multi-platform performance is stellar? let me just load up a copy in my FreeBSD...yeah, that doesnt work.
his opinion also seems to contradict his own drive toward open source. if the thing you like only works with one vendor, how do you anticipate ever FLoSS'ing your code?
isnt news for nerds, we have known for a while this happens.
what i want to know as a nerd is completely off topic, but in the nation of japan how is it the death toll so far for this tsunami has only been reported as "hundreds" of people and not thousands dead? what technology has japan used or is japan using thats saved so many lives? Will they use rescue-robotics like robo-q or the quince prototype to locate and identify survivors? or something more powerful like the Tmsuk T53 to lift heavy concrete slabs and debris?

if we're killing animals based on the level of kindness exhibited in the death method, then simply not killing the animal at all is the kindest way.

any notifications yet from the FBI about the botnet and my computer, has anyone else?
also, do i need to disable selinux before they uninstall the bot on my computer? or can they do it from a regular user account with limited sudo?
