The reason I got into studying embedded systems is to work on ubiquitous computing:
-Put SoC's into everything;
-Hook everything to a hybrid cloud; (NaaS)
-Serve it with a cloud server at home; (RedHat OpenStack distro on Fedora)
-Create an XML-based protocol on top;
-Have it all talk to each other;
-Build it all on Minix 3; (so it never crashes and every device server has to be hacked seperately)
-Enjoy the shit out of modern life!

Your agenda (GTK HTML5 webapp) knows when you need to wake up and plays your most listened song over Bluetooth to wake you up.But before that happens, the server gives the command to the coffee machine to warm up. All the lights switch on, to destroy the melatonin in your system. The Google self driving car parks in front of your house on time. Your phone tells you as a messenger not to forget your suitcase upon leaving the building. The climate control goes on standby and your tablet is preloaded with relevant presentations for the day. Slashdot articles are read to you in the traffic yam. Etcetera.

God, I love those guys at Xerox PARC!

Compile and sell theirs.

Shocking discovery!

Why not give everybody what they need?

Large coorporations should be able to invest a ton of money into R&D. They need these patents for revenue.

The only thing that sucks about it is this: free software (as in beer also) gets hurt in the process.

So why not keep the patent laws and pass a second one (or include a section in the former), that says: "may not use patents in software to make a profit from, or to compensate expenses".

Why is that so difficult?

Microsoft is correct. They do the same thing. That is also correct.

But what I'd like to see is Facebook Vs. Google Vs. Microsoft Vs. Apple.

Let them all call each other out and show everyone how bad it sucks!

No, but that's not the point.

What is do is play Sudoku with knowledge. And the problem I'm usualy having with math (aside from not having a very broad understanding of the logical implementation) is that it can become a very... very... very tough (from my perspective) Sudoku puzzle.

But the real problem I'm having is just not giving up. That, combined with so little understanding of it, drives me nuts. So yes; you're right.

I have a question: (excuse me for the realy bad formatting)

If the result of prime numbers (plotted), can be formulated as e^x, where Xaxis = numbers (zero to infinity) v Yaxis = [amount of unique distances observed] ;
and plotted against the plotting of prime numbers themselves ;
and plot a formula_3 that averages the coordinates that both euclidean functions output, towards infinity, through where they almost intersect ;
and form a formula_4 that equals the offset of the two euclidean function, relative to formula_3, towards infinity ;
and plot two fomulas that offset formula_3 by formula_4 in both 'directions' ;
then Doesn't it make a lot of sense?

I'm terribly sorry for my bad mathmetics and would welcome a rant in which someone would explain why and where I'm making a mistake.

If the planet was so smart as you are, wouldn't they think that if Earth was so smart as them, that they would not have discovered them by now?

The DSM is not about diagnosis, but some retards use it that way. The purpose of the DSM is being a psychiatric dictionary. That means if psychiatrist talk about [illness xyz] then they are reffering to the collection of symption [a, b, c, d].

And yes we needed the DSM, but it has become irrelevant. You see; one can research the brain of a mouse; just scrap this and that away and see what happens. With humans on the other hand, this can't be done in vivo ("while alive"). So people started to gather common collection of symptoms so they could put a label on a person with these symptoms, and ask the 'patient' permission to study the structure of their brain after death.

Now that brain research has vastly improved, all kinds of overlaps start to appear with common 'components'. Say a person with ADHD has RDS and DAT ("dope transport from here to there in brain") problems.

Now that the mesolymbic pathway has been found not to be a pleasure centre, but more of a 'conscious intersection' of the brain, using a serotonine feedback loop to modulate dopaminergic release, all these 'illnesses' start to make a lot of sense. Dopamine actualy sort of highlights/projects emotionaly charged 'thoughts' into human consciousness.

Now all of a sudden check what effects PTSD has on hormone release. Suddenly bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hallunications, paranoia, anxiety, autism, PDD, psychosocial all make sense. An example:

I'll give you an example:
Imageine this guy is responsible for coding some kind of cashflow algorithm in accounting software. What you guys are going to be doing is adjusting your own code accordingly: working around the bugs.

A month or two later, you all start to get together to investiga why suddenly everything seems so disasterous. Suddenly you all spontaniously find out it is this single asshole who fscks up the entire codebase.

Armed with this spontaniously acquired knowledge you all go up to upper management and say:

Manager: *I need to get this guy fired* "What is the damage?"

Asshole above your social status gets fired, nicer code can be written and CVS horrors are over.

You let him crash and burn. You put oil on the fire, everytime gets pissed of at this guy. Later on, you get together and talk to his manager/boss/supervisor.

You do this in a clever way; as in under the radar. This, however, requires knowledge of social mechanics.

If you try to keep that person from crashing and burning; you'll have to deal with it, for as long as you work with this guy.

Version control is realy old, BTW...

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).
