  1. Re:Wrong date? on Poker Program Battles Humans In Vegas · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but next year will have a 9 after the two 0.

    The date is wrong, it's not June, it's July.

  2. Intermediate quantum state? on Discovery of a "Flat" Atom Hailed as Quantum Computing Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    Uhm.. I thought quantum states where discrete...
    it's like per definition.
    But whatever..

    x = 1/2
    x E N

  3. Re:10 seconds. on Studies Show the Value of Not Overthinking · · Score: 0

    Parent is right.
    Well, the article doesn't tell much about the program they've used, but based on what it says I think what they visualised on the resonance was the subject's brain preparing the muscles' coordination.
    Take this example. Imagine you are playing that game where you sit in front of somebody else, the hands of each close to each other's, and one has to hit the other while the other one has to avoid being hit. The former can choose to use any of his hands. So he thinks: "should I use this one, or that one, this one, or that one" and finally makes a choice, but the muscles are prepared to move both hands in the exact moment the choice is made. The last thing is obvious, try it yourselves, you'll feel it in your arms. It's like they want to move but you are holding them still.
    Now, this can be ported to that simulation they used in this study, and it explains everything.

    What do you think?

    This has the same concept as Nintendo Wii.
    I think this video represents what I have in mind.

    Thanks.

    I don't think child abuse is the answer.

  8. Re:Confused on Does Antimatter Fall Up Or Down? · · Score: 0

    Well, I believe that there will be no reaction. And anti-matter will turn out to be atracted by anti-matter due to a property called anti-gravity.

  9. Re:IRC on F/OSS Multi-Point Video-Conferencing · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why do you even need that when you can have two plastic glasses and a cord?

  10. Re:Adapt the approach on Google's Audio CAPTCHA Falls To Automated Attack · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I think they should make captchas that require some kind of rational thinking. For example they could say "Write the third word of this sentence" And of course the answer should be "third". That's lot more difficult to be cracked and if you look at the infinite variations you can make to it, you can say it's uncrackable until they can make a bot that understands natural speech.

  13. What about the CERN? on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: -1

    You know, it's funny that the CERN is argumenting that the gamma rays do no harm as a "proof" that their gigantic machine will not destroy the solar system, while there are other scientists that say that the same rays caused extinction in the planet.
    Quote:
    Accelerators recreate the natural phenomena of cosmic rays under controlled laboratory conditions. Cosmic rays are particles produced in outer space in events such as supernovae or the formation of black holes, during which they can be accelerated to energies far exceeding those of the LHC. Cosmic rays travel throughout the Universe, and have been bombarding the Earth's atmosphere continually since its formation 4.5 billion years ago. Despite the impressive power of the LHC in comparison with other accelerators, the energies produced in its collisions are greatly exceeded by those found in some cosmic rays. Since the much higher-energy collisions provided by Nature for billions of years have not harmed the Earth, there is no reason to think that any phenomenon produced by the LHC will do so.
    Cosmic rays also collide with the Moon, Jupiter, the Sun and other astronomical bodies. The total number of these collisions is huge compared to what is expected at the LHC. The fact that planets and stars remain intact strengthens our confidence that LHC collisions are safe. The LHC's energy, although powerful for an accelerator, is modest by Nature's standards.


    Now I don't know what to believe.

    And later they could make some cool receivers that will let you skip those ads and record your favourite content to be played back later. And they should have a feature that would allow you to be listening to something, while at the same time recording something else. I think I'll patent this wireless entertainment device.
