Who knows. there is always the possibility!

oh and FUCK BETA what I want is a HTTP 4.0 site no CSS, no java. FUCK BETA

altslashdot.org is working on it.

I haven't the time to help, but by god, I hope you succeed

just as soon as it is not paywalled, I'll be sure to read it.

What's more amusing is the dates on those documents. This is 5 year old tech.

Reminds me of Flux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(novel)

no. Depending on the compiler/flags/etc, two consecutive builds from the same source may have different signatures (timestamps in the binary, etc.) This means that after the build, the binary will have to be inspected to see WHICH parts changed. This is not always as easy as it sounds.

The human brain absolutely IS a deterministic computer. (on some level) Choice is based on available data. That data may be from any combination of possible sensory and memetic inputs, but no decision is made in a vacuum. We may not -- yet -- know the specific algorithms that determine, for example, the choice of a mate. We know many of the factors that can contribute: specific hormone levels, societal norms, etc, and any Advertising exec can program the vast majority to buy unrelated stuff based on those inputs. To use poor old Pavlov as example, the mind can be trainied in very specific ways. If brains were non-deterministic, there would be equal chance that ringing a bell would cause salivation and homicidal rage. The brain is a black box. There is nothing to say we can't build our own black box that does the same thing.

a thousand times this ^ I tried to write C code in eclipse. *shudder*. Went back to gedit and a command prompt.

A good maiming is probably better. Death itself is not a great deterrent. Lots of people say "I want to die" not many say, "I want to be handicapped". So. cut off their hands and remove their vocal cords. This diminishes their ability to create more spam, and also diminishes the possibility of them passing on the meme that made them think that what they were doing was okay.

So what's out there that is equivalent to a GM Tech II? Sure, I can get DTCs, and freeze frames with my little scanner, but what about the Body Control Module, ABS subsystem, Transmission/Transfer case controller, etc?

Rational means that it can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

I blame the car makers. How dare GM not have the foresight to include aux in or bluetooth in the 1975 corvette!!
