Beautiful piece of hardware - got everything for work, no headaches neither for Windows 7 and Fedora Linux. Thinking of getting myself something from X-series of ThinkPads - the smaller the better :D Fri, 14 Oct 2011 06:08:51 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2011/10/happy-birthday-thinkpad/#IDComment207293097 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2011/08/mobile-wars-end-of-webos/#IDComment206940092 I'd personally go for Android, bought myself Android-based HTC smartphone and feeling myself great :) Thinking on getting one touchpad now, struggling between Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 :) Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:53:29 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2011/08/mobile-wars-end-of-webos/#IDComment206940092 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2011/05/fedora-15-gnome-3-impressions/#IDComment165800353 Thanks, rich It's a bit unusual after switching to Gnome 3 from 2.x. You try to find things that been there all these times - and there're not there! :) Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:45:23 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2011/05/fedora-15-gnome-3-impressions/#IDComment165800353 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/12/chrome-os-clouds-and-pcs/#IDComment114678567 Cloud storage and local storages will more co-exist for the next 5 years, for sure. By the time it will come to complete cloud storages, then i'll think about it.

Currently I don't want to put personal stuff to any of publicly available clouds with "private" access restrictions. What for?

Technical limitation will be covered in next 5-6 years, that for sure. The privacy issue however still remains: The web knows me by all these social networks, however, it still doesn't know the full content of my HDD, and what if I don't want to move everything there. "Look at this comment. It's not on your blog. It's on IntenseDebate" - it's logical, as well as Twitter and Flickr - why should i keep social things private, when i can give them out to the cloud. But some things might be personal.

Some consider it as a "Bible" for programming and algorithms Sun, 28 Nov 2010 12:13:01 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/11/coders-at-work-donald-knuth/#IDComment112409063 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/ru/2010/09/faina-ranevskaya-odinochestvo/#IDComment100502977 Всё можно исправить: не покупай себе будильник, тогда высказывание потеряет смысл ;) Thu, 23 Sep 2010 09:04:02 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/ru/2010/09/faina-ranevskaya-odinochestvo/#IDComment100502977 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/09/robonaut-2-or-r2-goes-to-space-discovery-2010-november/#IDComment99897407 "does anyone actually need it for business purposes? " - in one of recent interviews, the director of Asimo project said that the reason of designing Asimo prototype as humanoid robot was to evaluate the level of human interaction with autonomous systems - how people will react on working with robots, etc. Business purpose? There might be one, but eventually I was talking about academic research. As the reflection of how to use the reasearch done specifically for the business field - I believe you can always find some areas. For instance, if we consider 250k investment for HRP-4 by one of tech universities, and later participation in some competition (like DARPA ones for autonomous vehicles, etc), there would be a good marketing feedback for the university. If we subdivide humanoid robot by parts, there would be even better. Industrial sector for arms-movement (welding and stuff), computer vision, speech recognition and reasoning, movement mechanics (keeping the balance, and finally being able to sit). In otherwords, humanoid robot is a huge toolkit of different areas of automation and robotics :) Mon, 20 Sep 2010 11:02:21 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/09/robonaut-2-or-r2-goes-to-space-discovery-2010-november/#IDComment99897407 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/09/robonaut-2-or-r2-goes-to-space-discovery-2010-november/#IDComment99891649 Well, comparing HRP-4 from the previous post, 250k Euro for a technical university is nothing. Plus it's a good long-term investment in the tech faculties. =) Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:04:48 +0000 http://j4vk.com/wordpress/2010/09/robonaut-2-or-r2-goes-to-space-discovery-2010-november/#IDComment99891649 http://blog.ergatides.com/cyprus/snakes-in-cyprus-herpetological-society-of-cyprus-paphos-cyprus/#IDComment94346843 Chris, Thanks for the info, if you gonna attach some pics to each of those posts - that would be absolutely awesome, because it's really hard to go for a walk with dogs.
