InfoQ: Brussels approves $7.4bn Oracle-Sun deal, Oracle to Outline Strategy Next Week - 0 views

  • The European Union has today formally approved Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems. The EU has been investigating the merger since September 2009 under EU Merger Regulation, expressing concern that Oracle may try and kill MySQL, a move that it felt could potentially have a detrimental impact on competition in the database market. Launching her investigation, outgoing Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes stated: The Commission has to examine very carefully the effects on competition in Europe when the world's leading proprietary database company proposes to take over the world's leading open source database company. In particular, the Commission has an obligation to ensure that customers would not face reduced choice or higher prices as a result of this takeover. Databases are a key element of company IT systems. In the current economic context, all companies are looking for cost-effective IT solutions, and systems based on open-source software are increasingly emerging as viable alternatives to proprietary solutions. The Commission has to ensure that such alternatives would continue to be available.

Should Robots Feel - 0 views

  • The purpose of this essay is to examine whether or not there would be practical reasons for creating a conscious, emotional machine.  I will not delve to deeply into whether or not it is possible to create such a machine, as the argument as to what exactly would constitute a living conscious machine seems largely unsettled.  Rather I will concentrate on whether or not we should create such a machine, if the possibility becomes available to us.  Are there uses for such a machine that could not be satisfied by a complex automaton?  Is there anything about real emotional response that would be necessary for a machine to operate autonomously, and still interact with human beings?  What are the dangers? What are the ethical ramifications? It is questions such as these that will be the interest of this paper.

IEEE Spectrum: Flexible Flash - 0 views

  • 4 January 2010—Though flexible devices such as roll-up displays have been promised for several years, their commercialization has been stalled by a missing ingredient: a flexible form of flash memory. But researchers at the University of Tokyo have recently developed an organic, floating-gate nonvolatile memory that behaves like flash memory, which may solve that problem. While silicon-based flash memory is fine for the mass data storage found in cellphones, digital music players, and thumb drives, fabricating it requires high processing temperatures, thus ruling out its production on flexible substrates like plastic. Organic semiconductors, however, can be processed at temperatures well below the melting point of most plastics. What's more, "the cost of flash memory is too high to use in applications that require large arrays of memory," says Tsuyoshi Sekitani, an assistant professor in the University of Tokyo's department of electrical and electronic engineering and one of the researchers who developed the new memory. "But we can print our organic memory on flexible substrates and over large areas using inkjet printers. So costs will be low."

Five Tips for Improving IntelliJ IDEA Performance | geek listed - 0 views

shared by Aasemoon =) on 02 Jan 10 - Cached

    Since I totally luv IDEA...... "We use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE and love its features, functionality, and price point. Dealing with its performance is another matter, however. When developing Seam 2.x applications, IDEA can just crawl - and this is when sticking to just one project or SVN branch at a time. Some of the biggest performance hits our team has noticed are: 1. File indexing on IDEA startup 2. Long code completion times when editing XHTML/JSF files 3. Pauses when switching from one Java or XHTML file to another 4. Calls to Ant targets can drag on forever for no apparent reason while others time they are tidy and fast Here is a collection of ideas on how to improve the performance of IDEA; note that not all of these will be applicable to your environment or application. For example, we wouldn't consider turning off local history options as this is invaluable. 1. If you're not using Subversion or other version control system, turn off synchronized files. This can be disabled from the Settings -> General, and disabling "Synchronize Files on Frame Activation". 2. Revert to IDEA's original visual interface. Browse to Settings -> Appearance and select the "IDEA 4.5 Default" theme. 3. Decrease the size of local history of code changes. Even if you find this feature invaluable, you can still improve performance of IDEA by reducing the number of days of local history IDEA will store. By default this option is set to three days! 4. Disable unused plugins. You mean you're not developing GWT apps and you're not working with JetGroovy? Great, then why not disable some of those plugins? 5. Increase the IDEA Java VM heap size. I can attest to this offering much improved performance; if you can spare the memory, follow these directions: 1. locate your Program Files/JetBrains/IDEA x.x/bin directory 2. open idea.exe.vmoptions 3. modify Xms, Xmx, and XX:MaxPermSize settings as needed"

      Hehe.... well, this tree is hundred of years old. To the Indigenous people of the island, it has a bit of a holy status. They put tie those knots around the branches and the roots, as a sign of a prayer.. something they wish for.

  • Anthony Daniels, the actor who brought the droid C-3PO to life in the Star Wars movies, visited St. Louis Thursday for a concert to celebrate the music of the popular Sci-Fi series. Joining the 86-piece orchestra will be several movie props including C-3PO's costume which Daniels said was "ouch" every time. He used tin-snips to make modifications during filming because only he knew exactly where all the pokes, pinches and jabs were.

GateWorld » Wright reveals origins of Stargate Universe - 0 views

  • “The germ of Stargate Universe began as a movie by Robert Cooper, as do many of our ideas,” Wright told the magazine. “We always come up with a movie, pitch it to MGM, and they say, ‘Terrific, let’s make it a TV show.’  When we were spinning the film idea, we knew deep down that Universe was really a series because it had so much scope.”
