Because there’s nothing like running through a town with a sledgehammer destroying anything that moves…

Definitely one of the most entertaining games, the vehicles handle well, and there is a lot of weapons to choose from when planning how your going to attack the EDF. Plus you get a rifle that eats people alive!

So I know that I haven’t been posting anything programming related for a while, and that’s mostly because I’ve been working on boring projects, so instead you get a random thought.

So anyway, It occurred to me that with the coming widespread use of nanotechnology to create and replicate things that the value of the original item for being an original is moot. For example if you can use nanotechnology to recreate a famous painting atom by atom then the original painting cannot be differentiated from the copies. they would be in essence perfect copies. More so, since you are creating the copy atom by atom then you can also defeat methods such as carbon dating, which works be determining the proportion of carbon isotopes to each other in a sample. However if your building something from individual atoms you can control this ration by doping the construction materials with the appropriate levels of isotopes. At that point every crack in the painting (craquelure), the carbon dating age and the appearance of the copy would be the exact same. and since the copy and the original are Identical to each other down to the atomic makeup there would be no way to tell them apart. thus nanotechnology will destroy the antiquities market by making it impossible to determine if what your paying millions for is an original Rembrandt or merely a nanoforged copy…

Between college classes (Algorithm and Data-structures, calculus and analytical geometry, statistics, and eng 101) and work, I’ve been swamped and haven’t really gotten the chance to work on anything nifty in the programming world. I’ve managed to start reading Mono: A Developer’s Notebook which has been an interesting read.I’ve also started to build up some of my internet properties so they aren’t going to waste, which is taking some time (I’ve collected a lot of domain names). I’m hoping to get back to doing updates at least weekly sometime soon, so check back sometime this week for the regular update.

Ok, everybody. Code segments should be back up. Switched to a new plugin for code handling, had to update all of the articles that used some features of the old one. so anyways everything should be back up.

for everybody showing up looking for the code segments. my plugin that handles code has been updated and apparently something changed, so for right now code samples are probably all screwed up.

Please be patient I’m working on resolving this.
