I suspect it was ran on phase 2. There is usually quite a bit of spare time on it.... except a week before some coursework deadlines when everyone uses it D:
At least, that was the case 2 years ago before I graduated.
It's not really the same. Human behaviour is not inherently random. The lottery is.
If I've bought a coffee every day for the last year, it's quite likely I'll buy one tomorrow.
I thought everyone knew about Bayes?
I really don't understand this mentality. Because a small minority of the population can't use someone, we should restrict it from everyone. I'm not saying that people shouldn't make the effort, but sometimes it's just not required, or its too much extra effort. If I had to make a free app blind-friendly, that could be a lot of extra work, so it might end up not being created.
Screw it, we shouldn't even be allowed sight! Everyone should wear blindfolds, else its just unfair!

I couldn't see a price, but this looks like it would fall under the "expensive gimmicky gadget" price range. At least with a kinect when you get bored of using it with a mouse, you can do something cool with it. I'm sure this would be either close to, or even more expensive than, the kinect.
That wouldn't be too difficult. Depending on the granularity of the data available. If you use a competitors brand, send them a free sample, if they use your product, try and push a higher priced one? The real question is, would it be worth it?
A complex AI isn't needed, or even needed. You would need to look at each person individually. Get a computer to number crunch for you, and you're away! Contrary to what most people believe, with computers/AI, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You are allowed to use them as a tool.
Not necessarily. You/could/ see what they looked like. If they weren't appealing to you, there is no reason to look it up. Of course, should you look up someone using that system, that person could find out you looked at them (ad infinitum)
There is a lot of information out there, that, just because it is available, doesn't mean I want or even care to find out about it.
Yeah. The phrase "trade school" shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. At the end of the day it comes down to egos. People want to be seen as smart. If someone went to a trade school, and another to university, people will think the university kid is smarter.
Though I do think that knowing theory and applying it is easier than knowing the applied use, having to generalise frmo that, and then reapplying that to something else. (So I'm for the maths in a CS degree).
At first this was my first response, but he may have a point. The prof might be from a university that doesn't have it's priorities right when it comes to what modules are taught. A higher ranked (League tables are such BS btw) university, or rather, a better university might have more relevant modules.
I don't understand how people can be very good at judging how CS is taught at all Universities, even though they've have only been to 1 as an undergraduate*. My highschool was particularly bad, I didn't generalise that and say all highschools are bad.
Although, it does read like a snide remark.
*I kept it to undergraduates. If you go somewhere as a masters student or a Ph.D student, you probably would have no idea what the undergrad course is like.
"Basically, computer science uses a lot of discrete math, and a lot of vector/matrix math. Universities don't have a lot of general education courses that teach discrete math or vector/matrix math"
It sounds like you're generalising from your university to all universities. In my first year we had 2 discrete maths modules and a general engineering one(basic statistics, calculus, analysis etc). After that, all modules that need something new get taught by the module that needs it. For example, in a data modeling module, we got taught about Bayesian statistics and all the other relevant mathematical concepts.
I'm not saying that every University gets it right, I'm just saying that generalising from your university to all universities is a bit silly.
Back on topic, teaching someone how to do something specific is silly, especially when the computing world moves so quickly. Maths lets you teach generalisations which you can easily apply to new situations.
How long does it take?
Could it be used to turn the state enemies into nothing but blood and guts(and bones) in a matter of minutes?
Maybe I shouldn't give the gov this idea:S
I can assure you that traffic accidents would be significantly reduced if, by law, there had to be a spear head on the steering wheel aimed at the drivers head.
I really can't remember. I tried looking for watt it is, I just couldn't find its name!
It really is shocking some of the stuff people have time for in their spare times.
Still, some people find less resistance to learning if they go for a hands on approach.
Well, theres enough puns faraday.

Thats because they got sued early on, so they just started patenting everything so they wouldn't get sued. There was a story on this not too long ago.

Everyone knows that not a single human was killed by another until 1972, when pong saw the rise of video game violence.

That's a lot of suitcases.
Not just that, you're making someone non-technical make a technical decision just to avoid blame.
So no one can!

This point is moot.
It either wouldn't matter, or when someone did try you could inform the authorities.
Also, won't someone please think of the children!

Don't you think it's a bit soon to be making puns?
Get the entire nation's computer folk to strike. Imagine what that would do :o
Wouldn't you rather your government's lies were obvious, so you knew what was real and what was fake, as opposed to everything being half-truths?
