I'm the mythic casual player. I only play for about 1-2 hours a week at best. Once in a while, I'll put in a solid 5hrs over a weekend if I get the urge to finally level up.
Got a level 65 rogue I started back in 2005. My goal for the summer and fall was trying to get to lvl 70 before WOTLK came out. So much for that!
My main point, while not explicit was just that its silly and pretentious to post such a question to slashdot.
The goals he described would be so powerful that if he really was on any REAL project working towards them, it would be so secret that he'd already be sitting in Leavenworth awaiting treason charges. Slashdot would also probably have been taken offline and its servers confiscated.
Given that he's still posting, and Slashdot survives, I maintain my point which is that he's on a fool's errand - probably just being asked to do some busy work while they try to figure out what's next.
srsly? you're working a temp job at darpa, first of all. get over yourself..... and you're asking slashdot for input on a field so advanced it has ruined careers of academicians more advanced than you could ever hope to be!
You've got some "strong leads"? OMG, you are going to sleuth out the most intractable problem known to computer science!
Just print out the wikipedia page on AI, give it to your boss, and tell him to give you some real work to do.
P.S. you can't argue with anything I just said because my User ID is like 500,000 lower than yours *roll* no one cares
well, the sad thing is that if anything were to go wrong, you wouldn't actually find out what happened. By the time whatever chain reaction escaped the LHC, it would be moving infinitely fast and the only thing you would find out is what its like to suddenly cease to exist:-(
Whenever I see one of these goofy assertion articles, I hope for a summary of the math. These goofy results must be arrived at due to an error in assumption. Such an error, if considered to be a valid point, may be just the error that prevents us from integrating gravity with the other forces, and so illuminating and fixing that error could be a major step in theoretical physics.
Yea... Ok, you can hope all you want, but what good would it do you if they did post the math summary? Think you're gonna identify the "wrong assumption" that just so happens to have eluded world class physicists from Einstein to Hawking? Geez, what an ego *roll*
Well, I was surprised at/played too when I first looked at it, but then I remembered that I very rarely manually exit the game. I usually just hearth to IF and let it log me out automatically. If you take that into account, and you played approximately 3 hours a day, it takes about 30 minutes to automatically log out, so you can take ~20% off your total
do you mean to tell me that after the Knoppmyth CD is installed, that my computer will be able to just slurp television programming out of the ether?... no? oh ok then stfu until you reply with a COMPLETE list of MythTV installation steps, including all the steps involved going to Best Buy to buy the fucking tuner card.
I was assuming that you are opposed to the windows dominance among home users and would like to see Linux go mainstream. if so, then my post stands and your reply to me is specious.
Slashdot Mirror
LOL... naive
Well you, or at least others on your side, wanted America to lose a war for the same reason just a few years ago.
So big whoop.

that's not true at all.

you're right, so lets stop twisting the definition of "liberty" and carry on with our lives like sentient human beings.
hello backpedal
hmmmm in that case, i desire the liberty to not have the chance of ever seeing a liberal point of view expressed in public.
hello gun bans, smoking bans, socialized health care (banning free choice in health care), etc. etc. etc.
ban prayer, ban video games (hello tipper gore et al), etc.
want more explanation?
*roll* i like how you were able to understand all the other zingers but when it came to liberals you're all like, "huh??"
whatever - partisan.

pretty sure that they're not sweating the loss in market share of customers who own $10,000 display systems.
Interestingly enough, the article's own webserver is down...

and if you would quit bragging about your mutlilingualism maybe you could use the free time to boost your economy's crappy productivity.
americans might not speak two languages but we pwn your economy multiple times over.
I tried giving this explanation to the guy I flipped off but he still beat my ass :-(
thanks a lot slashdot.

that wasn't the xbox - it was the power brick
no you don't. be honest with yourself.

oh man i snorted beer up my nose reading that - why post it anonymously???
that was some funny shit
Disney is NOT extending copyrights
they are asking YOUR representative to extend the copyright
don't blame Disney - blame the legislators and the people who voted for them.
bwahaha think again, bud.
ibm's not going to go for a razor thin profit margin consumer device
there's a reason they ditched the PC - because it had been commoditized

if not, then your posts are legitimate.
The point is, the average user shouldn't need to read a BOOK to set up a printer
