20 Things They Don't Want You to Know

Posted by Zonk on from the they're-seekrit dept.

theodp writes "PC World spills the beans about a bunch of things technology companies would rather you didn't know, including the lowdown on exploiting Windows' bad security, unlocking cell phones, using an IPod to move music and useless specs." Nothing groundbreaking, but might be a good primer for the non-techie in your life.

  7. That Mind.Forth is True Artificial Intelligence by Mentifex · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    20 Questions is not where it's really at in artificial intelligence.

    Mind.Forth is the True AI you're not supposed to know about.

    Stumble upon Forbidden Knowledge in artificial intelligence and you could be in danger because you Know Too Much.

    Slashdot readers figure out the Hidden Truth for themselves.

    914pcbots.com is the Forbidden A.I. Zone where techies discuss installing secret AI Minds in PC-based robots but: Hush! (It's a big secret -- Forbidden Knowledge).

    Novamente is another truth-will-out story of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

    AGI Mail List is where the l33t heavyweights talk about Artificial General Intelligence.

    AGI Secret Archive is where you may eat of the fruit of the tree of the Forbidden Knowledge about artificial general intelligence.

  10. Why I am not a paying member of Slashdot: by Hosiah · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Because of articles like these, pointing to content-free airhead blathering sites that are the internet's equivalent of Fox "news" and the "National Inquirer", which exist solely to smack a bunch of ads and pop-ups in your face when you click on anything.

    Viewing it in lynx is barely worth the bother, even. Some people complain about the dupes. I complain about these sites.
