Allavegana í framhaldi af síðustu tiltekt hjá mér þá ákvað ég að prófa aftur að keyra vin minn OmniDiskSweeper. Verð að viðurkenna að ég er minna hrifin af því núna en ég var áður, þannig að ég fann annað forrit sem er ef ekki betra (ef ekki bara fyrir þá staðreynd að vera ókeypis). Já notaði í þetta skiptið forritið WhatSize.

Top 10 Reasons to Major in Computing
1. Computing drives innovation in the sciences (human genome project, AIDS vaccine research, environmental monitoring and protection just to mention a few), so if you want to make a positive difference in the world, study computing.
2. Computing majors will provide you with a foundational knowledge of problem solving and logical thinking that will be helpful to you no matter what you choose to do in life.
3. Computing technology is part of just about everything that touches our lives; from the cars we drive, to the movies we watch, to the ways banks and governments deal with us. Understanding computer science is part of the necessary skill set for an educated person in this century. Whether you want to be a scientist, develop the latest killer application, or just know what it really means when someone says “the computer made a mistake”, studying computing will provide you with valuable knowledge.
4. Computing jobs are among the highest paid and have the highest job satisfaction.
5. Contrary to popular belief there are more, and not fewer jobs. U.S. IT employment was 17% higher in 2004 than in 1999. Computing also has the greatest potential for new jobs through 2014.
6. Contrary to what some people believe, computer scientists are real people. They have lives. They have friends. They do not sit in a cubicle pounding out code 18 hours per day.
7. You do not have to be a nerd to be a computer scientist. You do not have to to live, eat, and breathe computing to be a good computer scientist. You can have a life, relationships, a family.
8. Computing is not about being a lone wolf. It is about being part of a team that requires people with many different kinds of skills.
9. An increasing number of universities and employers see successful completion of a computer science course as a sign of academic well-roundness.
10. Computing is one of those fields where it is almost impossible to predict what will happen next. This is why we cannot even begin to imagine all the ways that you can make a contribution to it and it can make your life’s work exciting and real.

However I felt compelled to (at least) link to these great news. The wonderful peeps at Google have made an OSX port of the Linux originating FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism. For those of you who just went "Huh? Wha? Whocaresdude!" FUSE makes (along with many other) it possible to have Read/Write access to NTFS volumes on a Mac.Reason: Incompatible library version: tar requires version 6.0.0 or later,(Was trying to run tar)

Machines That Can Deny Their Maker
Rosalind W. Picard
The following dialogue was presented as part of the lecture "Toward Machines That Can Deny Their Maker," given at the MIT Course "God and Computers" by Rosalind W. Picard during the fall semester 1997.
The dialogue was inspired, in part, by the 1921 play of Karel Capek, entitled "R.U.R.," which stands for Rossum's Universal Robots. This play is where the word robot originated, from the Czech "robotit," which means "to drudge." In R.U.R., humans have figured out the secret to making robots that are emotional and alive. However, the robots can only live for 20 years. Afterward, they expire (die.)
The robots in this dialogue share the following features with those in R.U.R.: They are affective computers, with an extensive set of emotional abilities. They do not know how to make themselves, nor do they know how to prolong their existence beyond 20 years. They do not have the "secret recipe" that is what gave them life. But, they have the desire to find it.

"A Reuters news story reports that German lawmakers are considering a crackdown on 'violent computer and simulated war games' because a youth decided to attack other students at his school. The young man was apparently already under police consideration for weapons-related violations, and was described as 'someone with no friends.'"
From the article:
"Wolfgang Bosbach, the deputy head of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) in parliament, said it was time to consider banning games that simulate wanton killing. 'We need effective guidelines to protect children from exposure to different types of media, but we don't need (simulated) killer games that can lead to brutalisation,' Bosbach was quoted on the Netzeitung news Web site as saying." InfoWorld has more details on the event as well.[more]
