PS: the mistake you are making, that that the visual cortex of the human brain, does:
A. Everything in linear stages, with parallel computation, and;
B. Likes to not waste calculation power on mundane things like: "Realy? Is that lawn all grass? Let's examine every shape first, in order to make sure there is no soldier out there with cammo, who might just try to shoot me", and;
C. That's where optical illusions come into play: the cortex uses a shitload of shortcuts.

Of course you model would work if there are no shortcuts, but that would be stupid. Unless you try to create some image technology for DARPA, but that's not a human-like form of intelligence. (it's supposed to be better, uh-huh).

These guys are total idiots. There is this thing called research and it's about figuring out how the human brain works. And it's fscking simple:
1. Distance: difference in contrast; (sky has the least amount of it, so everything with a bigger contrast with the least contrast is closest)
2. Motion: bright lights; (for spatial orientation)
3. Depth: two camera's; (compare double images appart)
4. Grouping information: color; (green shit is all nature, gray shit is all building)
5. Recognition: shapes + colors; (does it look like shit I've identified before? If not; store properties, otherwise: already identified until focus on it for a longer period);
6. Et-fscking-cetera.

Seriously...

Yeah they probably mean this paper, lol:

Also "Spooky action at a distance" == Einstein fail...

But nothing can go faster than light, because time is a measurement of change. Something can't possibly go faster, unless it doesn't change but folds dimensionaly. (E8, Lisi, standard model and information theory).

Comment Re:Dark matter (Score 1) 173

Physics are written in Math. Math is written in logic. Logic is form.

If we are to believe the theory (and there is no point in not doing that after 20.000 years of radation before the big bang started happening) that the Higgs Boson is made out of form(ing a shitload of dimensions), then dark matter is simply another dimensional fold. Once these folds clash, they unfold eachother, leaving nothing but nothing, realy.

And then there is the gravity thing, which is, of course, Einstein's stuff; it's the Newton physics of the holographic universe interpretation. In other words: only valid when it comes to interpretation.

There is no gravity, if we are to believe information theory (and one would be a genius to disprove). In fact, we don't even have evidence of gravity, so information theory comes closest to this. But anyway: the universe is like the WipEout HD Fury Playstation 3 disc: the actual raster (so called space time bla bla bla) is 2D. So a very large polygon+texture+shader model could eat up a lot of space on the disk surface and therefore come close to a small model. It doesn't mean that on the 3D TV, the model actually appears close to the large polygon model, displayed 'holographicaly', but the actual space between the storage surface of the game disc is small, faking some 'warped BluRay SpaceTime'.

So there is no gravity thing going on. Gravitational effects are... no wait: the effect is gravity, and is not going on at the dark matter information level. And since you don't want ships made out of matter to smash into anti-matter, because that's not what Huston wants to hear, you could still put a highway there, by simply increasing mass between point A and B, which means less storage between point A and B, which means less shit going on between A and B, which means less 'time' going on between A and B, which means 'OMG TUNNEL!!!!!1111 one one eleven" aka no distance whatsoever.

So there I crushed the magic behind the universe. Where is my price?

Which is because the MPAA and our friends at MPEG-LA were like: "Hello there. We create non-workaeble movie copies. That is, unless you use MPEG4. Of course the MPEG 4 license from MPEG-LA restricts vendors to play anything not obscurely crappy copyprotected. But hey... We have the Copyright, which is a law we lobbied to be passed, to make sure nobody may ever make useful copies. Of course nobody cared because movies cost money and we need to get paid. It just that we decided to earn money, our way. So now everybody is fscked, because we don't have a legitemate way to earn money, without a law that grands us a monopoly on a piece of work."

And then smart people ignored DRM and John Doe's didn't care. They soon will, but then the rest of us is forced to go completely Free Software mad and decided to put our spare time to better use.

Now where are the people who go outside? Or should I learn some more about computing, like I did before by learning about DRM? I'm sure my time wil have been spend useful while others wasted theirs, watching DRM copies of G.I. Joe or some other mindless crap that is only as useful for living for as long as it's being watched.

Are just saying it is like that or can you realy show me that that's actualy the case?

If you can show me, it just means your comment is just as unworthy as you cracking skills, meaning your comment is worthless.
If you can prove yourself wrong, then you are wrong.
If you can't even know, then your comments mean nothing.
If you can show me proof that human mistakes are avoidable, then you are smart enough to know that Apple didn't avoid them.

You are at the very least not right. Judging by past evidence made, very probably wrong. That makes my comment only more probable, so thanks for commenting me up.

This can only result in this:
1. PC manufacturers, not asociated by Apple will go full Linux;
2. Apple's security department will face security breach hell;
3. People will return to Windows or switch to Linux.

Mac OS X security is a joke. Not by design, but by practical reality:
1. It's based on free software;
2. It's not patches as fast as that free software;
3. Since there is no security through obscurity, cracker will only need to subscribe to various free software mailing lists and acces CVS systems;
4. Wait for holes in FreeBSD to be explained on the mailing lists;
5. Look at the CVS fixes before and after the patched holes;
6. Laugh their asses of while Apple's security responds team waits arrogantly for weeks to months on end to supply updates, since Apple doesn't appear to need a lot fixes, because Mac OS X is supposedly the shit;
7. Bye bye Apple customers;
8. Ballmer: "Missed me?";

X.org is now pretty much implemented as a State Tracker for Gallium3D ;) 2D networking X11 stuff in Xlib doesn't work if compoziting and using 3D, so that's why X11 is being axed and replaced by HTML5 in the widget toolkits Qt and GTK, and also by Wayland. Wayland sits on top of what X.org now sits on, and is purely a Window Manager.

Xlib is outdated, even for X.org. X.org now uses XCB (X.org C-Bindings).

If you want to poke at the frame buffer, try directly talking to the Kernel Mode Setting driver ;)
