There's not enough market for monochrome LCD displays. If you're going to shell out for an LCD display, you'll shell out for color, and most home users wouldn't DREAM of monochrome (even if it does look cool).
I think that it has more to do with industry than the government. Just look at the DMCA, that was more industry and PACs, than the government. I think that as a whole, the government tries to cut down on the effects of these groups, but they only need to hit a few influential people to get what they want, or try a couple of underhanded things.
Well, the diesel engine from it's start was meant to be more efficient and cheaper. The designer had studied the internal combustion engine, and wanted to improve on it. The fuel can actually be MANY things (according to the design that is, not necessarily in practice with prebuilt engines). The design is ingenious, one can see why it is more efficient merely by understanding how it works. The engine in american cars works by spraying a mist of gasoline into the chamber, and then sparking an explosion. But the spark can occur at the wrong time, causing misfires, the mix of oxygen and fuel can easily be wrong... Many things can happen. A diesel engine causes it's fuel to explode by rapidly compressing it, causing the necessary reaction for explosion. This solves MANY problems, and the fuels can even be a bit more friendly to the environment. The big part of why big rigs always used it is because it's so much cheaper than gasoline. It's hard to see why it wouldn't be a winner with more people... but I can see pumping as a problem perhaps.... There's always truck stops:-)
This looks like a brute crack from what I can get to (nice/. effect, but looks like I'm just testing keys).
Yeah, according to the AI classes I've taken, this counts as a form of AI... But I think that Distributed.Net has a MUCH larger version of the same thing last time I checked... Just not for this puzzle.
You can use our product, as long as you don't use it on a platform that costs $$$.
Also, why the hell should the goal of the Linux community be to snuff our M$? What about just producing useful software? What about compatibility? Is all of this compatibility merely to undermine M$? Anybody who's been in the business long realizes that compatibility should be a goal so that you can be more productive, not so that you can snuff out everyone else! What if M$ wrote in a clause saying that you couldn't run their apps under any other OS? Good bye emulators and WINE. (Hope I didn't give them any ideas).
1) I don't agree with censorship.
2) I like democracy.
3) I was making a point, that you all missed.
4) Steps toward corporate power in this country will lead to censorship and oppression if unchecked by the people.
5) I'm a f*cking libertarian for goodness sake.
6) There's lots of other countries in the world to move to than the US, if it were that bad, perhaps they could go and trounce about in Australia for a few years.
7) Maybe it IS that bad, I don't live there, couldn't tell you.
8) You couldn't tell me either. That is a big country, if only thousands are trying to leave, they must be doing something right.
9) Better to be oppressed by the government than a big corporation, unless I own that corporation .
10) I'm still damned proud to be an American, I stand more for the ideals that this country was founded on and expounds than the average American. I'm just asking everyone to think about what that means. If you disagree with that, then you might take a look at what I am actually saying, what the libertarians say, and what the other parties say. I guess I'm more in the middle than anything, but I know that I support our government.
And yes, it is all just organized anarchy anyways. There is no social contract that anybody signed saying that they would submit to someone's rule, they got killed if they didn't. Maybe a second nation was formed to kick his ass. Might makes right, that's how politics works. If someone wants to oppress their people, fight with your votes and your voice and such, but I am SURE that discontent in China isn't big enough to cause the government to be overthrown, otherwise it would have been. If you had never tasted freedom, you might not hunger for it either. Even if it is better.
I know that we all like to comment on foriegn governments, and how much they suck... but if China were that bad a place to live, I think all the people would move out. Perhaps they want censorship. Perhaps American's are so busy being told that they don't want censorship that they don't stop to think they do.
Think about it. When was the last time you heard someone being all self righteous, saying that they want someone shut up because they are profane, obscene or nude? How many times out of 10 would this person not openly say that they are against freedom of speech, that they want what you can say to be limitted, that they cherish the thought of censorship.
Not many, we've censored them by making it a sin to say that freedom of speech is a bad thing (which it is not).
Pretty much, they wouldn't tell you that freedom of speech is a bad thing, and maybe they believe that what they want isn't censorship... Maybe they should move to China and see what they think of censorship. They MIGHT actually like it. Think of the people in Singapore... Don't some of their policies remind you of your mother? Perhaps she should move there.
The world is a place burgeoning with different ideas and people. Some people don't like to be around people with different ideas. This is a different idea that they possess, are we to persecute their freedom to not be free?
Surround light... Sounds like those movies at theme parks where they shoot cannons and stuff... I used to work at Busch Gardens Williamsburg... I saw Pirates a few times (see it if it's still there next time you go). To me, surround LIGHTING sounds like pretty much the same thing... a silly little effect that is kind of fun to laugh at, but not the material that a cinematic feature is made of... I sort of doubt that this will find a market in mass produced movies or video games. With HMD's already cheap enough to be in the reach of the consumer, I don't see why we invest so much time in all of these things that augment 2D screens. I'm not saying that there isn't room for this stuff, and that it's not cool, but really, who is going to invest in funky lighting equipment when a far more effective VR setup that will let you experience the lighting in the game, or movie, costs less?

If you're developing a new kind of neural net, that is computer research.
If you are making a web browser theme(able), that is development.
So, unless you're making some kind of scientific breakthrough, I doubt it would count, all licensing issues put aside. Reoptimizing ls and more for new processors hardly strikes me as a "research effort."
I don't think that I will ever consider AI to be a life form. I've written plenty of it in my time at university. I've read up on it and coded it and played with it and everything... and no matter how well you simulate life... it's all quantifiable algorithms and equations and so forth. If there is an AI bill of rights. I think that I will have to move to mars. (BTW, if I develop and AI in the future, and it reads this, I hope it doesn't hold this against me... I doubt it will.)
Who the hell even remembers me to call me a karma whore anymore. I've been so busy with school that I can barely take the time to post and then reexplain myself the idiots that flood this site.
Yeah, I was trying to express that idea in context with the question without getting too involved. I've studied big O and little O. Sorry, if my answer wasn't satisfactory. FOR A COMPUTER, you don't solve NP problems. Not classically. And STILL, you wouldn't have strong AI. It was a decent question, but I was saying... no, this won't do that. And I am pretty sure that I answered his AI problem in context, no offense.
With all due respect... yeah, it would be kind of tacky, but this is a reputable organization, probably many readers are members.
ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) charges hundreds of dollars in professional dues for membership, but it's money well spent if you are seriously interested in the profession or, in many cases, NEED truly up to date information.
I don't see any problem with pointing to an articly on NAS(proceedings are proceedings people)... Just don't point to one on Tabloidfor$50.com
No, an NP problem is a computational (supposed) impossibility. (or really hard). As in, the formula is insanely hard. AI problems usually center around "what is it exactly that we should be doing to solve this problem." Or in some cases lookahead, or scalability. A large neural net falls into the catagory that you are thinking of, or lookahead in a chess game. That's only solved by having more ram and more processor speed. Passing the Turing test is just a question of finding a good system to do it with.
This could just be a sign that the traditional arcade has given way to the home system just as flip movies in penny arcades gave way to the modern arcades today and made room for VCRs and Television and pinball and so forth.
If X used a different protocol, for strictly point to point communication, and a few other cute restrictions, and suddenly bandwidth is not a problem. 56K is actually blazing. It's just that the TCP/IP protocol suite is actually slow and unreliable, REALLY, in the LITERAL sense, they are called slow and unreliable protocols. You are NOT guaranteed receipt (no hard connection) and you are NOT sending data quick (round trip time plus the MASSIVE losses you take in the header).

Now that the NSA has been /.ed, will there be a suit against /. for a DDoS attack against the government?

Sexual - Check your ethernet connection.
Why not just subtract 9800 from the results, and plot them, then change the axis labels? Makes more sense to me.
Grafitti (handwriting recognition in PDAs) is very much the same as the gesture based input in these systems.
Think about the act of dragging your mouse as the act of writing a little scrible to represent a letter that is places serially along an input stream.
They are very similar.
