Some people, my wife for instance, can never seem to get the idea of cardinal directions. Perhaps the content or ability to perceive this just varies greatly among us.
No longer will I need a huge magnet, now I just need a hair dryer!
But Seriously, wouldn't external heat sources pose a problem for such a technology? I don't want my drive erased next time my electricity goes out during the summer.

Just wanted to say thanks for linking this. Great talk.
I admire your family's courage in going this route. My personal preference is to try other routes before using medications. Difficulties in integrating with society can be very scary, so spending the time with someone to help accomplish this is no easy feat.
To blicncoln: Not every gift is best served by medication. I tell you from my own experiences that in the math instances it usually robs us of the creative aspect in it.
Sorry, I didn't mean for this to come across as a rant on ADHD medication or anything of the sort. It does help most sufferers to live a normal life. In my generation is was also used to control children who were unruly or otherwise generally hyper. I also understand that these sort of abilities often manifest themselves so aggressively that one would welcome medication to control the situation as to live a normal life.
Just understand that in the beginning, and sometimes even today, those medications were prescribed too loosely. Some people are just different, and some really need help. I can't be the judge of that, and I wont be.
Go for it kid, and I wish you all the luck. Having a mind like this is exciting, but it burns a lot of us out. It's become even harder with the diagnosis or Aspergers and ADD/ADHD, as many of us end up on medication which robs us of the gift. I love the fact that you are getting the opportunity to share with other people at such a young age. All too often folks won't listen because they simply don't understand. This in turn causes us to retreat, which is the worst outcome possible.
My words of warning: As described in the article, the numbers come to you constantly. Your sleepless nights will likely continue the rest of your life, and later it will likely affect your relationships with the opposite sex. Just as you have learned substitution in integration theory, so should you apply descriptions you give of the world around you. Most persons don't want to hear numbers all the time, and the beauty of the world around them holds great significance. While we both see numbers as beautiful in their way, most others see them as cold. Just learn to substitute your larger mathematical concepts with equivalent adjectives. You don't have to hide the fact you are doing this, but for those you get to know well, it will help them grow closer to you.
I have no votes today or I would give you more, sir? Where's a 10 when you need it? I wrote in C# for 4 years, and just recently I was hired into a position where I am dealing with primarily VB. While this is, in my own opinion, a very obvious version of your #3, it proves the point. I write code in C#, VB, PHP, Javascript, and occasionally Perl or Python. I spent some time when I was younger in both C++ and Basic, but later moved on to the other languages because they were the most profitable.
If your point is to judge a developer based on their SOLELY having.Net experience, I will understand your trepidation..Net tends to do a lot of things for the developer to make life easier. It is not a language a developer should cut their teeth on. But not hiring based on exposure and use? Simply Dumb.
According to the article, these players were very well trained. There is no mention in the article, but I can tell you as a developer that writing something like this wouldn't take a ton of know how, just enough processing power. With GPU systems these sort of calculations would become a breeze. Also, one must consider the limiting factors:
1. Every piece captured makes the computation time shorter.
2. Tournament games have a time limit. Number of possible moves along with an average or minimum time spent would limit the possible moves.
3. One is simply looking for statistics. This means the resulting percentages could be displayed real time, providing the "best effort" answer
4. Given a set of rules on what pieces you definitely do NOT want captured, more limits imposed
5. One could limit the advantage to a certain number of turns. Beyond a certain point the move itself likely becomes statistically insignificant.
The one thing I could tell you for sure is that any person wanting to spend this level of effort on cheating would have had to spend a lot of time teaching the computer their preferences. Statistics can easily lie in a simulator like this, so the player would need to spend time training it what decisions he/she would prefer in the more difficult situations.
The software to play chess has existed for a very long time, but my guess would be that they would start with something open source and modified it. Any publicly available package like this would likely try to cover a wide variety of extra rules.
Oh hell no, they're going to arrange to not only him but anyone he sold to? This man did nothing illegal, and they're going to go after the funds he has made from his work.
Sony, rot in hell. I will never buy from you again.
This defense is like saying "She got me horny, then said she was 14. Then after repeatedly asking me to do it, and humping the air, I did it anyway". Nice tale, you still made the decision to have sex with a child. You lose, and you need help. The only defense you get is if you never actually touched a child. This being the case, you should get help. If, however, you did not just talk about these things, the other inmates will take care of you just right.
As a developer I applaud this move. I know many producers who really push the limits of their tech, I'm sure his input will be on the high-end side of what most developers would consider consultation with end users. While his music may not be nearly as innovative as someone like Trent Reznor, I can see the relationship being mutually beneficial. Also, music theory can really help developers when understanding multi-threaded or parallel architecture.
Give it a chance, something really good could come of this.
I agree that these controls should probably be presented in the paper, but a layman could assume someone would attempt this multiple times before publishing.
I'm not saying this guy is right. However, aside contamination, wouldn't the only other explanation be that genetic material has assembled itself out of nowhere? If I remember correctly science has yet to observe that phenomenon, so I can understand why the author would be looking to other sources.
Using terms like "New Facts" hurt the author's credibility, as do the lack of proper controls. But, let the man research. Calling this a hoax is to dismiss the entire process and set aside something potentially life changing.
Even better, send your comments and suggestions directly to the author: vitiello/at/sa.infn.it
Help him become better, don't just criticize the idea.
I hope if that man ends up on American soil that the citizens of this country (US) riot and raise fucking hell. What our government plans to do is wrong, it's illegal, and they know it. So does every citizen and every member of the press.
Nor is it exactly new. After the last strange dip in the stock exchange a lot of research was done into this, and it basically comes down to inserting bullshit data into the stream so that competitors have to process the data while the injector does not.
This may become a problem for high-end cars. But to be honest lower to middle class folks only typically go so far as wireless entry. You still have to get the ignition going in these cases. Those systems have already been exploited, and yet most car thieves still simply result to smashing or picking something. Tech overhead on low end crime doesn't usually work well.
I think an easy way to determine this is to find out if these laws will apply to free services as well. From the article it would seem that it does apply, but enforcement will show the truth. If they only go after pay services first, then later get around to free services, it's more likely profit driven. If instead we see a new rule in the Great Firewall which all-out blocks SIP then we know it's an attempt to regain oversight of their citizens.
Personally I'm sure both play into the whole matter. The Chinese Govt. sees itself as the ultimate Nanny/Father figure which can do no wrong, but I guarantee you this will come back to bite them in the ass. Once there is only 1 protocol in China for VOIP, the dissident blackhats will find a way to record govt communications, and expose to the world the corruption which this govt either doesn't see or refuses to pay attention to. We know this because it's exactly what Americans did when a universal tech which companies and the govt. barely understood was placed in a monopoly.
You, my friend, are a moron. At the time digital video equipment was in a deciding moment. I personally suggested this format to a company, and it completely changed the game for them. Their storage space increased by over 10x, while resolution stayed the same. This was a vendor of security surveillance systems, and I was fired months later. The company blossomed due to my suggestion, even dropping an in-house developed MPEG codec.
VP6 was ahead of its time. It's deserved the money. Codecs involve more than web, and their development involves very specific knowledge in both high level math and computers. It's hard work that take loads of time. They deserved the money.
PS: My wife asked me to add an appendage about sucking a certain appendage.
I'm not aware of the laws outside the US, but that line is loaded. In the US, sexual harassment is the only crime that is judged by, not on the intention of the accused, but the perception of the accuser. There is the allowance for a measure of common sense when asking "would a reasonable, normal person be offended in this way" which is introduced, but no company is going through a sex crimes trial before settling. It just isn't happening.
Can someone comment as to these laws in Japan?
In my senior year I took Computer Science 2 to fill up some time, thanking the teacher kindly for allowing me to forgo CS1 and get some sort of challenge.
As it turned out the teacher knew nothing about C++, the language we were to learn. This wasn't helped by the fact that every computer was completely locked down to the point that notepad wouldn't even run. Fortunately, we had an IDE. 3 guys and a couple days later we had a nice program to disable and enable the security software (Foolproof) at will. We learned about 3 weeks worth of material in that class, which amounted to learning some basic logic.
"Computer Science" is such a broad term, it's as difficult as teaching "Art". Most schools come up with little thought through curriculum because the staff knows little to nothing on how to teach it. However, it's hard to blame them. I don't see too many computer experts lining up to teach 6-12 graders.
Computers should be taught like an Art class would. Teach the students the hardware basics, how to build a PC from the ground up, move on to various OS setups, and then to projects which use the different abilities of what was built. I'm sure there is much more that could be listed here, but as with any high school class, the idea is to help the students find what they enjoy so they can pursue it. Let them experiment, let them create, but teach them how to use and maintain the tool.

A little show / podcast known as "Pop Culture Happy Hour" played a huge part in this as well.

That sounds about right, about half of us are complete morons.

Yeah, I realized that after writing, by bad. How are they expecting to get access to the physical machines? Seems a bit silly honestly.

If you follow the link to the original story it says
I don't get your point here. I was referencing free services like Ventrillo or the like.
I haven't seen any sign of dissident black hats in china, let alone any recording government calls. These people tend to end up in re-education camps.
I'm afraid you got me on that one. Those who don't comply are likely shunted into hard labor or unscrupulous gold farming rings.
