  4. strategy on Chinese Sub Pops Up Amid US Navy Exercise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You cannot be infinitely cunning in developing new type of counter-weapons. It is better to find more common goals. Best strategy to win is to make everyone want cooperate with you, because you have a desireable vision for the future of everyone.

  5. Suggestion: be caucious on Yahoo! Accused of Lying to Congress about Chinese Journalist · · Score: 1

  6. How to create a good computer Go player? on Cracking Go · · Score: 1

    I never played or tried GO, but if Go has such a high level of possibilities, then it has to be possible to build various structures in it's space.

    This means that in fact the game must be based NOT on evaluating all the move possibilities, but rather freely "moving" in the space, building and preventing the other player to build certain it's OBJECTS, and groups of objects.

    Find out from the professional players about what type of objects they try to create and arrange, when playing a game.

    A. Think of algorythms for creating these kind of objects effectively.

    B. Think of methods to obstruct the creation of such kind of objects effectively.

    Balance the A and B actions depending of the value of the identified objects in question.

    Nice idea, Simon. I think, seriously, this could, and should be realized in some way.

  8. Re:It's China's century on Will China Beat the United States Back to the Moon? · · Score: 1

    So, this action should be viewed as a political one, and could be reacted to accordingly. Today cooperation is more important than competition, the winner is usually the one who finds a way to cooperate with most of the people, in order to do the things, that are most useful to most people in the world...

  9. Re:Reincarnation is possible? on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 1

    Yea, that what it sounds like from our perspective, interpreted through our definition of reincarnation.

  10. how do they define reincarnation? on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Our laughter means Chinese government's definition of reincarnation is different from ours. We think reincarnation is a "mystical belief that some essential part of a living being survives death to be reborn in a new body". Chinese government perhaps thinks that reincarnation is an act of stating such a belief about a certain individual. How does the Chinese government define reincarnation anyway?

  13. Method to say "good bye" to your data on Harvard Prof Says Computers Need to Forget · · Score: 1

    In Gmail, you delete the messages, then use your Gmail as usual. If you remember something important, recover from Trash. This way it's easy to say "goodbye" for most of the unnecessary data.

    The same works for HDDs, CDs, etc. For example, you clean a spare HDD, and make a copy only of the files that you actually opened. After 1 month has passed, distroyed all the other data. Leave only the new HDD.

    Very easy.

  15. Old news.. on New Japanese Mobile Phones Detect Motion · · Score: 1

    Old news. My sharp V603SH, which I bought about 1 year ago does that. You can use it to play games such as golf with a virtual golf club, it has a step-counter for jogging. Oh, not only motion detector, it has an internal COMPASS too.

  16. It's more exciting than online Wikipedia! on Wikipedia Releases Offline CD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find browsing it much more exciting than browsin Wikipedia, because most are very familiar to my eyes, yet I don't know them in detail. It's much more about the selection of articles than the multitude of them.

    I can't wait until not just these, but also the production lines become opensource. I wait until we have open source models of mobile phones, cars, computers, airplanes, and their production lines open source as well!
