If Chinese brought something like this, and got it bought by few of their friends, perhaps we can do some bargaining to cook up something concrete, be it "good" or "evil". But I just don't see this happening with this Euro offering.
Best I can see is the Europe leads by example - have the member countries signed up and demonstrate what benefits it brings.
"Build a bomb and strap it to your chest, of course!"
You must have gotten your engineering degree from some po-dunk state online program. You should strap THEM with the bombs and press the button from far away.
Dang, you would think those are all typical patent candidates if you had been hanging around slashdot a while.
Just another case of the muddled mumbo-jumbo that is our legal system utterly incapable of dealing with the progress of technology, just another aspect of the sclerosis that is choking the life out of our country.
She elaborates later on that, if P=NP, the proof will provide general hint in transforming NP into P whose solution can be more easily found, hence the "mind-boggling" possibilities of solving many problems currently thought infeasible to solve.
"Assuming" P=NP doesn't help because we don't know in general how to transform NP into P or if it's even possible. In fact, it's suspected it's impossible so one will never likely even to try.
The Science News piece, which summarizes the episode quite skillfully, is dated 9th September.
I swear, if slashdot got a nickle for every smart-ass comment on it (including plenty from yours truly), she would have suffered a coin-induced gravitational collapse.

So an algorithm to link up muddled ill-defined notions of intelligence and emotion...?
Wasabi.
I'm with Stallman on this one.
So it's one of those European things.

Don't know about democracy, but that's the essence of free market.
I just knew something was fishy when they said they want more "tourists".
They should have gotten the Comcast Super Combo Deal and save a bundle.
Just scanned this from the Economist, Google trying to muscle out a competitor on Android platform for their ad (their whole) business

The headline most likely is a douchebaggery.
Fission bomb is a technology that's more than half a century old. There isn't much secret to be stolen to build a crude bomb.

Take a breather and calm down. Seriously.
That is all.
But it's a good story.
Once in a blue moon, assholes do good despite themselves.
And punks. Dickheads. Douchebags. And ugly. With bad odor.
The fools will learn what it feels to have their ass rammed with a GB pipe.
Awesome headline, samzenpus. Nice one.
One time you actually could have gotten away with a wild unhinged headline, you punt. Pussy.
I'll have to step up then:
GOOGLE KILLS BRAINS!!!
Yep, this is a case of Not Even Wrong.

This has been one of the best slashdot posts in a long, long while.
I'm gonna have to renew my subscription to Science News. Kudos to Ms. Rehmeyer.
Slashdot keeps on posting stupid stories like this, day in and day out, and I'm still here posting how stupid they are.
I ain't going nowhere. Suck that, facespace.
Yep, just like programmers and customer service reps, drinking pina colada on the tropical beach.
Divorce is a bitch, ain't it. Probably better off, though.
