We need technical tools to be able to communicate. If these tools are subverted, the political fight is harder to organize. So both go hand in hand.

If you want to play with shaders interactively, take a look at Tao Presentations. Will let you combine shaders and real-time 2D/3D animations. http://www.taodyne.com/shop/en/blog/67-real-time-stereoscopi.

Call me unimpressed by the "proof by eminent authority", in particular when said authority offers only a "proof by public ridicule".

Interestingly, this very same hypothesis was the basis for a novel by french author Bernard Werber called "le père de nos pères" (the father of our fathers), published in 1998.

If you have nothing to hide, then you don't matter. In this information age, data is money. There's a difference between having nothing to be ashamed of and having nothing to hide.

I have the same issue from France. First thing I checked was the blog post announcing the end of CalDAV, and yes, that's September. Something else is not working right. Google may be testing just how much trouble shutting down CalDAV would

At Taodyne, we also developed our own language. That lets us do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vv18SFljzA . No other language fits the bill. Try that in Javascript or PHP and see if you can fit the whole thing in 15 minutes (the You

What about the native APIs? NTFS and HFS have their roots in non-Posix worlds. The basic operations are somewhat similar in all platforms (open file, read directory, ...) But the "modern" stuff is not standard, otherwise it would not be mod

The article focuses on writing great code, but there's another reason to learn assembly language: for some specific aspects of a machine that were not modelled in the higher level languags, this may be the only way to go. For example, for H

Regarding other kinds of evaluation, like evaluating graphs, this is a bit the idea behind XLR ( http://xlr.sf.net ). In that case, evaluation by rewriting parse trees. Example: a factorial is defined as 0! -> 1 N! -> N*(N

I wonder if this will put smaller companies at a disadvantage. They have less resources and can't afford to rush to the patent office every other day, whereas larger companies have staff doing just that.

I agree completely. But also, they are not "adding new stuff" anymore. There's practically no new functionality in 10.7 or 10.8. Instead, they are rewriting existing functionality, often in a way that breaks because it fails to take into

For (1), we choose well hidden geological location, e.g. stuff that is about a mile deep. My guess is we don't have such an extensive knowledge of geologically stable locations one mile below surface. For (2), I'd venture to say that this i

It's easily recognizable as a nuclear reactor. But how do you distinguish a natural reactor from an artificial one? Furthermore, if we assume an intelligent species, wouldn't they either 1) Try to bury and hide leftover stuff, to the point

One thing I've always wondered about is what would remain of anything humanity built in 65 Myrs. If there had been a species of very smart dinosaurs populating the Earth for, say 100kyrs, and having a nuclear-capable civilization for say 20

Surprising that this topic has (as of now) 60 point and only two comments. At Taodyne, we use LLVM as the foundation for our 3D dynamic document description language. This makes it possible to do interesting things in real-time, see e.g. h
