Actually, there is a lot of information on AI but you won't find it in computer science. You need to read the research of Roger Sperry [won a Nobel Prize in 1981 for his work].
When I worked on mainframes, they would have this one setup where, say, five mainframes will work together. They have a 6th one also--just to handle the scheduling and various control systems. You're exactly right. Managing such a beast would not be trivial!
Excellent point. I might add that I have been working on just such a code set for a few years but that's another discussion.
The real reason that AI has been stuck is because it has only attempted to replicate the functions of one hemisphere: the left (linear sequential, where language is processed). The visual-simultaneous right hemisphere is the one that no computer today replicates. THAT, my esteemed friends, is where the work needs to be done. I have spent the better part of four years on just that problem...
Cool! Reminds me of the beginning of my career when I had to work on main frames. So much system code designed to do that parsing. Thank you for an interesting reply!
Aren't we getting a little bit ahead of ourselves, Sandia? What program would you run on this?
This brings up the essential issue: what kind of program would YOU write to take advantage of this?
I can only think of one: AI.
So, Bill, what you're telling us is that you don't have enough cooks yet. You need yet another cook in the kitchen. Funny but I expect this will only drag down Yahoo to your level. You will have design by committees. You will have company infighting. Fools. This will not help them.
What, at this late stage Microsoft does not have a QA department?
Or, rather, is it that MS's internal QA department is so used to releasing crap code that they considered this as business as normal. How bad is it--when people (who already know never to buy version 1.0 of anything Microsoft) now think they will have to wait not only for version 1.2 of something MS but version 2 of the Service Pack.
The last gasps of a dying industry. Anyone who wants to make it in the music industry these days knows that there is no music industry anymore. It's myspace and youtube. Frankly, such guerrilla marketing is what it takes these days for the writer of fiction or for the painter or any type of artistic pursuit. You have to make a name for yourself before you can expect any help from the so-called music industry.
Really the central change of the internet era is allowing any Joe Sixpack to publish their content to a world wide audience.
Romney is just another rich guy looking for the cheapest labor no matter what. This guy is no friend to the United States' tech industry. No thank you.
What do you want to bet this was an offshored person who did this? Or a junior developer who was given too big a task.
This type of thing--which will kill Charter's ISP business, I would think--is precisely why it is stupid for companies in general--not just this episode--to scrimp on IT resources. You get what you pay for...
Who would want to work for IBM now anyway? They've outsourced all their work and have only shell US employees to do the talking to customers while the real shit software development is done in India. And having worked on too many outsourcing projects, they always come in with crap software.
When I get a call from a recruiter and they mention working for IBM--delete. IBM is a dinosaur and they are running on fumes. If they are so stupid as to penalize their employees for standing up for their rights--good luck hiring anybody whose first name is not Jagdish.
Oh, this is such a blow. I was so pinning my hopes on an Open-Sourced version of OS/2. Now we'll all have to alter our plans so much. This is just so sad how IBM pulls the rug out from under the large community that was just waiting, with baited breath, for them to open source OS/2 so we can all scurry over and see what actual crap it is under the covers.
Sorry, I was not clear enough. JBoss is still free when used on a corp's own servers. However, if you are SHIPPING IT IN A SHRINKWRAPPED application, you must pay. That used not to be the case.
This has it backwards. After a vendor such as JBoss has created a fully functionnal application server such as JBoss, what are properties such as WebSphere, WebLogic and JRun worth? How much would you pay once you realize you can get the same outcome for free?
Sure, there are some old companies out there who still need the warm fuzzy that comes from paying $15,000 for WebSphere--but in the long run, what is that business worth? Not a lot. JBoss has already pulled a fast one anyway. What used to be free, circa JBoss 4.0.2, (embedding the app server in a shrink-wrapped application) is now for a fee. I used to work for a company that bet the farm on JBoss 4.0.2. And you know what they're doing now? PAYING JBoss. They have no choice.
I used Netflix for a few years but the problem was my spreadsheet. I kept track of when I sent back movies and the time when I received new ones and I noticed that they began to increase the length of time it took for me to receive my next DVD, thereby negating the value of their allegedly "unlimited" monthly service. They lost a class action suit on that precise point years later. I have more faith in Apple to not screw me just because they can.
Though the Semantic web is not important for the casual user--I think Google is pretty good now--but for a machine trying to converse with a human being, the semantic web is a great advance. I myself have an open source project on Googlecode that had a place holder for just this item. Thank god it's coming along.
Another example of the evil empire at work. How can these guys sleep at night? Can you imagine a worse kind of privacy invasion? Bill Gates can give all his money away to charity but he's still going to hell.
Microsoft's problem is that they thought they were beyond reach. They behaved as bastards--thinking they could not be touched. So, Microsoft started this and the EU is pissed and is going to finish it.
The bastards in Redmond deserve everything they get. They steal everybody's ideas and "innovate" very little. I say Bravo! to the EU! Nail the bastards!

Well, having lived in St. Petersburg, I can agree. The best programmers I have ever met were from Russia.
Nope, you're missing the most important part: HOW WILL THIS HELP YOU GET LAID?
Amen to that ma brotha
So basically, Sandia wants to run better games...

So, you're saying AFTER they lost the class action lawsuit, they have reformed somewhat. Well, too late for my trust

You make a great point. I get great results with Google but I do know others who can't seem to find a damned thing.
