Hmm, it's a good idea- however we are looking to get something that we can use just with sound, as it may be impossible to ever truly verify a SETI discovery due to the distance involved. Also, neural nets aren't in my personal field. Obviously we realise that dolphins and SETI are leagues apart difficulty wise, not only do we have to watch out for different frequency ranges, but also allow for compression methods and communication protocols. (As a side project I am looking into the requirements for transmission protocols in space) We are hoping however that we can, basically, figure outt the difference between noise and speech and apply this in some measure to all comers.
Wether or not you consider it foolish, and I do, it doesn't change the fact that these machines are here- carrying out there function (apart from the ones with widows error messages on the screen!) and being part of the infrastructure, the fact of the matter is that NT is growing in the enterprise and infrastucture sector whether you like it or not.
I am intelligent, and do not beleive in God. I will not kill you for a number of reasons- but most notably a lack of personal gain from your death, and should this fail a morality and criminal justice system telling me otherwise.
Hi, I'm just beginning to get invovled in AI research at my University. One of the things I have encountered during my studies is a variation in what is regarded AI, and how the subsections of the subject are divided. What is your view on what currently makes up the AI field (one of my lecturers tells me that in the 50s compiler design was considered AI, and that from then whatever is seen as being 'cutting edge' tends to be piled into the AI circle). Secondly, (and I hope you have time for two from me), the particular field I am researching into is language recognition. I am amongst a group who are developing algorithms to detect language-like features in signals arriving from outer-space. The hope is that if the SETI program does discover something of interest our tools will be used to validate and examine it. Work that has been carried out so far has looked at the sounds Dolphins make, by looking for language-like features in what is a completly alien speices to ourselves we hope to obtain tools that will work in a more general context. Any ideas?
Dear idiot moderator, What is off-topic about the previous post? The author clearly makes a point illustrating that MicroSoft does have a future, and that for the millions who-get this- aren't going to change to linux overnight they are needed to fulfill a support role for all those windows machines out there
What you don't see is serious vertical market software, or infrastructure stuff. What do you call the likes of SQL Server(apart from half-arsed that is), Exchange Server, the fact that here in the UK two High street Banks run the cash machines on NT??
You are an idiot. Just because some fool moderator slips with [his|her] mouse when scoring this doesn't mean it is no longer funny. A reply laughing at the joke, may be adding a little to it, and maybe pointing the mistake out the moderator would have been by far the best response- and you were first to reply. If I had moderator points I'd deduct 5 from you for being dumb.
The pairs are not identical. Each gene on a cronosome refers to another on the second half of the pair. Some genes are dominant and others are recessive. If a gene is dominant than the behaviour to prescribes is used, recessive genes only surface when bothe genes across the pair are the same ie. brown eyes+brown eyes=brown eyes, brown eyes+blue eyes=brown eyes, blue eyes+blue eyes=blue eyes. It is the differance between the chronosomes in a pair that make us what we are. This also explains why males are more prone to some conditions- ie hymaphilia(sp?) A recessive gene on the X gene is not dominated on the Y chronosome as that gene simply is not there- where as females two of these genes to get it.

Such an interesting article I read it three time:-) Had a look at the 'proper keyboard' Tom suggested, it looks ~ok, but it's $139! You can nearly by a computer for that these days, methinks Tom must be getting a hefty kickback for advertising them.
I was trying to use the past tense in most of that. I am much better now thank you. Naturally I do have some compuntion against not killing folk, we may not have guns, but there are cricket bats, kitchen knives, bare hands, etc. My point really is that no one ever helped, I had to go through a lot on my own, I beleive that I would have gone through just as much, if not more in the US- with the added availability of easy solutions may of made me headline news. Both of our societies need to help those you, like me know they need(ed) help but had no where to turn
Well folks, I score 7.5/8 on that little test there, and to be fair I have always said that if I had been in a gun owning country Myself and possibly others would no longer be here. Simple. There are always going to be dysfunctional people in this dysfunctional society and although it is a noble cause to try and help them I do not beleive these test have helping those unfortuneant enough to be able to score highly in this test. As long as people can easily get hold of firearms there will be people who kill with them, purely through breaking down. You folks really need to sort this out. It's sad to say, but I think even the US- gun mad as it often seems to be to the outsider- is more likely to make weapronry harder to access rather than provide real and genuine help for these people.
I don't know what in that post made you think I am a friend of Milosovic's, I am not. But, there is no getting around the fact thact hundereds of innocent serbian civilians, most of whom hate Milosovic too, were killed, that massive amounts of civilian infrastructure was destroyed, and that the blocking of the Danube with the remnants of it's bridges is having a massive economic effect on all the countries of eastern Europe, with the possible exception of Serbia, as few people trade with them and they never used the Danube as much as others anyway.
The plane was lost very near the border, it wouldn't have had it's bay doors open. It was not lost due to being shot down, take your point on just falling out the sky- but it was either that or pilot error,. I also stand corrected on the nick
Well, we've already found a couple of ways of finding the general location of a stealth fighter, wether it be by air turbulence or satellite radar. The information you get doesn't have to be precise enough to send a missile after it. Once you know where a fighter is roughly you can send up a noraml fighter/intercepter to tack it down. The F117a is notoriously hard to fly, the pilots call it the wobbly goblin on account of how shaky it is, also don't forget during the serbia thing one guy accidently crashed. That doesn't happen in a normal fighter, in an old-fashioned dogfight the stealth fighter would get murdered!
Considering a lot of people consider stealth technology to be nothing but propaganda this could mean very little. The F117a is only undectectable when flying slowly at altitudes of less than 100m. True it has a smaller radar signature than other planes, but it still has one and that is what matters. If the plane flies below the radar though (100m) no amount of stealth technology will help or hinder it. The USAF just has a funny looking plane so that it can tell you the boys will be safe when they go to bomb some serbian villagers.
As much as I hate to say it, the Amiga is well and truly dead. All we have had for the last few years is bickering and incompetence, and the world has just moved on. I don't honestly expect to see a new Amiga machine, and if I do I feel it will be under specified, new 2 years ago stuff that only the die hards will even look at and few of them will part with cash for it. Graphic design work is done with Mac or PC, and pretty much anything else is done with a PC. Sure you could have some kind of open standards machine that can live with whatever it's put with but I can't see it happening. the community and it's network have all but gone. There will be no-one to spread the word, and the machine will be poor. But then, I was an Atari ST user:)
These colours are indeed pretty foul, have Rob and Hemos been Ill? Surely you can come up with some colours a little more appetizing- also whats the point in changing the colour scheme if the slashdot logo at the top is still in turquiose?

Well, I assume your having a laugh, but I would point out that the roads are not YOUR private property. I don't know about in the US but in the UK anyone can drive a car on private property given the permission of the car and land owners- if these are you it's very easy. No license or insurance is required. However since the roads are public property- or the private property of the government which ever way you want to see it, you also have to abide by their rules and conditions in order to use them
Quite how this man can equate driving a car with surfing is beyond me. When I am driving a have in my control about a ton of steel that could be travelling at up to 50 metres per second, we all know that plenty of people die in car accidents. When I am surfing I access some documents and view them, I am unaware of any fatalities being due to this kind of behaviour. Aside from the obvious ridiculousness of this analougy (being dumb hasn't stopped people before)I'd like to ask how this would be executed anywhay 1. One of the great things about the net is the possibility of annoynimity, ok it can be abused by racists and so on, but this facility is also available to abused children, assaulted women, oppressed minorities as well. Would they be any way of avoiding identification for some people? no? thought not. 2. Say I get myself an internet license, although god knows what would constitute the test for safe surfing- its not as if I can damage any property or person, and I go to work at a connected company. Do I use my own license, or do they have their own which I use whilst at work? If I don't have a license for what ever reason would that mean I could be precluded from working in such an establishment? Just my £0.02
This kind of thing doesn't surprise me, ok it could be an accident, but SP6 also stops Allaire's Cold Fusion, which could be seen as a competitor to ASP (assuming ASP competes:-) This isn't the first time, and I can't see it being the last whilst the OS and Application sides of MS are in the same company. Splitting up microsoft won't hurt them, they've got enough cash to do whatever they like, but it will do so much more for us consumers who are suffering with their beastly software. (on the other hand Cold Fusion is coming out for Linux soon, bye Bill:-)

You seem to have missed my point. It is precisely that stealth fighter/bombers/whatever don't dogfight- If caught they die
As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, missile have been known to lock onto B2s
