Isn't this just a slow version of iTunes pre-version 4.5 with MyTunes? I haven't downloaded it but i've been using myTunes to download music off of my school network for months. Its an amazing source of files(depending what network youre on).
Wow, why don't they have those gradual wake-up machines today? Waking up is soo painful for me, but i can't to sleep until noon every day! Are these under development? Most of the rest of this article seems pretty infeasable, except for the very rich.
Hasn't the education sector been in need of teachers for years? That problem doesn't seem to be going anywhere. True, teachers don't start at great salaries but the benefits are awesome after, say, 20 years. Either way, i'm majoring in cognitive science because CS is definately too popular. People in my major seem to have much more passion for it; its widely applicable to many fields; and i see lots of potential for growth in the area. I don't really see that in computer science, and i can appreciate it with a degree.
I had typing in the eigth grade and it was by far one of the worst classes i ever had. I already new how to type from growing up with computers(which is much more common for kids nowadays), so instead of typing up my assignments I just went into my less-lazy classmates folders and copied them. Eventually they realized to put in the least bit of security on the network and so i stopped doing everything altogether. I believe I got a 30% in that class, but now I can type 85WPM @ %99 accuracy. Obviously i was an irreverent 13 year old, but i still don't understand why my teacher pulled me out if class to ask if i was doing drugs because i kept yelling out in class the evils of microsoft!
What exactly does NASA do with this power? I'm aware its for number crunching, but in what sense and for what exact purpose do they spend millions of taxpayer dollars? I've heard of supercomputers predicting economic trends, etc, but what are the space exploration applications?
Also the nice thing about immigrating to the US is that you keep your old citizenship. If i immigrate in the next few years(or WHEN i immigrate if bush gets reelected), I will have to dump my US citizenship. But who cares, college will be incredibly cheap and it looks like i'll have some job security to look forward to!
True dat with a wiffle ball bat. I spend lots of time on all kinds of OS's and I like the macintosh the msot because i don't have to worry about getting the computer to work, i only have to worry about my own problems. Unless you're so inclined, a computer is a tool, not a hobby.
This is very cool because Google uses extremely advanced AI, which is testament to how this field is very commercially viable. I don't know what exactly they will reveal, but it should teach a thing or two to the AI community.
well, hoping he doesn't figure out who i am from my email address(its pretty darn simple), and also hoping my boss doesn't read slashdot, i'm confident my boss will continue to think i'm doing a great job despite my large amount of slacking off(which he doesn't suspect whatsoever).
Besides, he should realize i'm not being appreciated enough and deserve a promotion that involves creative thought instead of paper pushing!
Now the little guys can spend endless amounts of money on a meaningless race much as the U.S. and Russia did for space. "Who is the first to discover Atlantis in their country" is the 21st century way of drawing attention away from more important current events and to secure a re-election!
It's not neccessarily the environmental risks that are the problem.. And i live about half an hour away from Three Mile Island. I think the most unappealing aspect of nuclear power is the price. In the 70's the government said it would only cost a few million dollars to build another nearby plant, when in fact they went overbudget by a factor of at least 10. For that price, the state could have bought every house a solar panel and the pooled energy would be plenty to power the area for a fraction of the price.
Actually the liberals are just as bad as any other party, if not worse. Their policies are highly conservative. For instance, here in BC, the liberals just raised tuition for the third year in a row. But thats okay, cuz i'm a traitor yankee and it's still just a portion of what i'd pay for tuition back home:)
I think this title is perfectly suited to the plot. To denote one's self as 'I' is implying that one has a consciousness, as the robots in this movie have been developed to have. This is, of course, dependent on your own conception of consciousness.
Yeah, this is a great publicity stunt for re-election. What makes you think this is the real saddam, and not a look-alike? Saddam is considered captured and thus is free to live the rest of his life, and Bush gets credibility for capturing the guy. I wanna see DNA evidence, pronto. Bush will do anything to get re-elected, and that is why we need more than 1/3 of the population to vote next fall to boot his ass out of office.
Do you think the amount of money the music industry is losing is equal to that which will be gained by the CD/MP3 player levy? Of course not, so the industry is just trying to make up for some of the cash it's already lost by investing in laws that will help maintain the power they already have. They'll still try to go after the pirates if they can, if it means they'll get to keep even more cash.
All i've wanted since i moved to canada was a cheap pack of smokes, and i ain't getting one of those until i go back to the u.s. Live with your problems or else find a way to circumvent them!
I've used yahoo maps and M$ Streets for most of my trips, but i find that mistakes almost always occur in their directions. That's okay, because i can READ SIGNS. Also, getting out of my phat ride once in a while to actually ask someone for directions(I know, this is against the male code of conduct) is usually a productive way to get from point A to B.
I just moved from philadelphia to vancouver and let me tell you, EVERYONE thats not 19 and consumes alcohol at one time or another has a fake ID(I guess its more believable that a kid is 19 than 21)... This will be very bad for them, and very good for burgeoning fake ID sellers(usually criminals of another nature) who have to sell new ID's that actually have data on the stripe.
I personally loved the original series. It followed the story with little abberation and the BBC effects make it much more likeable than a cold hollywood flick. I think the actors were quite well suited for the roles and they pulled it off well. As for Red Dwarf, i don't know what those guys are doing now, but they certainly have been going downhill since series 7(isn't there supposed to be a feature RD movie as well?)
The computer only needs to simulate what people can see--since the simulation is for people, anything else with a brain(or without) is merely a prop. Anything not in sight goes from the machines ram into storage, and i'm sure not every atom must be simulated.. equations describe our environment, and they can be applied to this simulation as they are in real life. This brings up the question... does a tree falling in the woods make a noise? Answer: NO, it doesn't deserve the proccessing power to be simulated. stop asking.
Gollum really did a good job presenting a character with some sort of character depth, and compared to 'acting' of other cg chararcters, *cough*(jar-jar)*cough* his was well above normal. Hopefully a trend will continue and our most popular actors won't have to be among the overpaid hollywood elite.

Yeah. Wow, its going to be so easy to finally get that weapons grade plutonium i've been looking for.
I mean an engine....

BTW, i'm not a troll, i'm just curious.
It's okay, i don't think they have big enough scissors for us to be 'Snipped' to death anyway.

No, i saw my school(Simon Fraser University) and 'Microsoft' in the same sentence and i got scared. Very scared.

And she gets major nerd cred for starring in Red Dwarf.
