  1. Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions by Nyder · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: What Books Have Had a Significant Impact On Your Life?

    Didn't know how much that would prepare me for life, but it did.

    Another book, Only The Earth And Sky Last Forever by Nathaniel Benchley. Loved that book. Taught me not to trust the white man.

    Also, The Bible. It taught me that religion is man made, and that people are really really fucking stupid when it involves belief/faith.

  2. Taught AI by Boa+Constrictor · · Score: 1 · on AI Researchers Say 'Rascals' Might Pass Turing Test

    Having spoken at length to Daisy (http://www.leedberg.com/glsoft/daisy/), it seems that after a while a simple AI can be taught enough to become fairly human. Daisy starts with no language, and simply learns a vocabulary from the people with which she speaks. Since the test of "human interaction" is subjective, and Daisy is formed from your conversations, she becomes pretty realistic, and also likeable. On the other hand, people who are nothing like me are more difficult to get along with. Are we not testing "how like me is this?", not "how human is it?"?

  3. ndiswrapper by MrZeebo · · Score: 1 · on 802.11 for Linux Non-Geeks?

    I've set up two computers with two different wireless NICs using ndiswrapper, and have had success with both. One was a laptop using D-Link's DWL-G630 802.11g card, and the other was a desktop using the Linksys WMP54G 802.11g PCI card. Using ndiswrapper isn't as perfect as a native driver, but it works well, so I'm not complaining. For the D-Link card, I documented my process here, and the same general process works for the Linksys card as well. The process is for Fedora Core 3 because at the time I wrote that, I couldn't get it to work with Fedora Core 4, but since that time I believe it's now possible. Greg
