  1. Fiat Currency on Steve Forbes: Bitcoin Not Money · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What what exactly is the value of the US dollar?

  2. Re:HAHA Ha ha ha haha. on Ask Slashdot: Building a Web App Scalable To Hundreds of Thousand of Users? · · Score: 1

    An 18 year old in a 30 year old body. Grow up.

  3. But why? on Nature: Global Temperatures Are a Falling Trend · · Score: 1

    Assuming that the data is actually accurate, the question that interests me is why was it higher? Does it disprove Global Warming? Probably not because of the fact that it doesn't mention the upturn since the industrial revolution. But if humans spewing CO2 wasn't the reason temperatures were high in the time of the romans, what was the reason and why do we think that it isn't the cause now?

  4. Re:Great! on Using AI To Identify Innuendo · · Score: 1

    Next they should invent a sarcasm detector, that would be really useful.

    Yeah... that would be reallllllly useful...

  5. Re:Oh no! on Reeves Rumors Reversed · · Score: 1

    It means that changed something.

  6. FCC ? Court System on FCC Moving To Retain Control of Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    What I don't like is that a Federal Court said that the FCC couldn't regulate the Internet and the FCC is going to do it anyways. The FCC is subverting the checks and balances system. If you want to regulate the Internet, fine, but do it legally.

  7. Re:who's freedom? on When Libertarians Attack Free Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That's because most libertarians are selfish bastards at heart. They are not concerned with such collectivist notions as creating a sustainable free society.

    No. Libertarians believe that if the people really want to create a sustainable free society it can be done without the government stepping in to do it. Give the society to the people to do whatever they want with it. Don't give it to the government to let them do whatever they claim to be the will of the people.

  8. Re:The robots didn't learn... on Neural Networks-Equipped Robots Evolve the Ability To Deceive · · Score: 5, Interesting
    (Fixed formatting)

    FTA: The team "evolved" new generations of robots by copying and combining the artificial neural networksof the most successful robots. The scientists also added a few random changes to their code to mimic biological mutations.

    The "scientists" changed the code so that the robots didn't blink the light as much when it was around food. Therefore other robots didn't come over and therefore got more points then the other robots. The "scientists" then propagated that ones code to the other robots because it won. The AI didn't learn anything.

    Especially if they ever get wireless power working.
