Review: A.I.

Umm, you must have missed it but A.I. takes place many years in the future. I do not refute your argument that it is extremely difficult to replicate the human brain. That is a no brainer. Your argument, however seems to assume that our knowledge of the workings of the brain and our computing power will not advance in the next hundred or so years. No I cannot tell you how to imprint, but I am sure the scientists that designed David IN THE FUTURE could.
If you cannot accept that something we cannot do today will be possible tomorrow then I suggest you NEVER watch or read sci-fi again. That is the whole point of sci-fi.
X15. There is a blurb about it on the last page of the article. In fact most of the last page is touting that the speed improvements are not really because Tux is kernel space, but rather because the kernel as a whole has improved tremendously.
On my system here (Win98 SE w/ IE 5.5sp1 and Mozilla 6/13-04 build) IE missizes most of the boxes on the first page. Mozilla renders everything exactly, except the radios are both ticked.
Don't even go to the second one with IE, completely broken. I would believe the Mac IE5 works since it is MUCH MORE standard complient than Windows IE. My Mozilla is perfect on the second.
Why would you need to replace your engine every month? You install an efficient electric motor in the car, then install your fuel cell to generate the electricity. When the fuel cell runs out you replace it or recharge it. Obviously replacing fuels cells would be made convenient. Just slide out three or four cartridges (or however many it would take), then the old ones would be recycled.
Agreed, in fact Evonyx broke a world record for fuel-celled powered electric car with a distance of 217 miles using a zinc fuel cell installed in a modified Honda Insigt in October of last year. They had planned on traveling from New York to Detroit (600 miles) on one fuel cell. They said that technical difficulties stopped them, but there was enough power left in the fuel cell to reach there goal.
They haven't updated there webpage in a while, so I have no idea what has happened since. I hope they are successful.
The 'razor and blades' strategy is a profitable one but always fails when someone can buy a razor that does not need new blades.
Yeah, I guess that is why Shick and Gillette have gone out of business...
There is a big flaw in that argument, razors that do not need new blades (ie electrics) suck. Straight razors are better, but more difficult to use.
The Tivo without the service sucks, don't buy one if you are not going to get the service. The Tivo with the service is the best thing to happen to TV since color.
Oh and TV listings is not all you get for $10 a month. You also get Suggestions, Wishlists, a builtin "magazine" with more suggestions, a powerful search feature, season passes, support, and software upgrades. Well worth it for me and many others.
Well, they are comparing mp3 at 128 which everyone thinks is CD-Quality. Of course if you have good hearing and speakers you know that 128 is not even close to CD-Quality. I agree that wma sounds crappy, really bad artifacts at all the rates I tried (128, 96, 64). They actually call 64 CD-Quality (in the help file for wma 8)! I will stick with my mp3 at 256, good enough for me, VBR when I need to save a little space. I stick to CD when I am at home.
OK, so isn't this a big argument for GM foods? They can continue the cash crops and continue the same amount of sustenance farming but get more out of it with GM crops. They feed their people and continue their economic growth.
Do you have a source about the third world countries growing cash crops instead of food?
I saw a documentary about GM foods on PBS (Harvest of Fear, I gave links in another post). They showed an African scientist developing a disease resistant sweet potatoe. Doubled or tripled the yield. The poor farmers they showed who were basically just farming to barely feed their families would greatly benefit from this. They could cut down the number of farmers for a village and send some of their kids to school.
Last month there was a Frontline/Nova special on PBS called Harvest of Fear. This is a very complex issue, the show presented a well thought out and balanced view of the issues. I suggest anyone concerned with this issue watch this show if they can find it. You can buy it from PBS for $20, though it says backordered. Just search for Harvest of Fear, can't post link to the item directly because of lameness filter.
Please don't look at Cal as an example that conservation does not work. PG&E and Edison sold off a lot of their power plants. They reduced their power generation capability because of broken deregulation plans, thinking they could just buy the power needed on the open market. Had those two companies not sold any of their plants Cal would be fine.
Los Angeles has not been and will not be effected by the blackouts because the LA DWP chose not to deregulate. They have all their power plants and have been making a crap load of money selling their excess power to the morons who supported broken deregulation. Poetic justice.:)
Regardless I am all for building new nuke plants. I am also for real deregulation, not this half assed creation of Cal.
Yeah, of course I haven't been affected by the power outages either. Neither has my employer, or many of the people I know. Not because of solar, because we are in Los Angeles served by LA DWP. Last I heard DWP has more than enough power for the area it serves. In fact they are making a lot of money selling to Edison and PG&E. They did not sell off any of their power plants, they didn't believe the deregulation scam I guess.
I live in Los Angeles and have not been hit by a power outage in over a year and a half. The last one lasted about 20 minutes and I think was caused by my mostly incompetant apartment manager.
They did not misread the map. They fully intended to hit that building. Unfortunately the map they had was outdated, I believe it was the NSA's fault, they gave them an old map.
The crew is trained to destroy any sensitive equipment if it is about to fall into enemy hands. From the brief meetings we have had with them the crew said they succeded in doing this.
I am sure that the Chinese will be able to gain plenty of knowledge from the equipment at any rate.
Uh, most/all dogfights occur at subsonnic speed. Fighter jets are extremely maneuverable at subsonic speeds. Whether they are as maneuverable at the speed of an EP-3 is another matter.
The wierdest and most interesting webpage I have ever seen is for the movie Requiem for a Dream (great movie by the way). It is a long interactive flash animation that is very trippy and quite creative. check it out here.
Probably the only really good use of flash for a webpage I have seen, usually it just gets in the way of finding the information.

What is there to explain? You like porn. Best to find a girl who is fine with that then trying to hide it.
You don't need to turn the lights off to view a plasma display unlike a projector.

Nero is not a freeware program.
Win9x, NT, 2k, etc I think can be considered forks of Win32.
Yeah, but Ricochet is for laptops and pocket PC, not mobile phones. A slightly different market.

Dang, where do you live? The EB down the street has a stack of ten of them in its window. You can buy it from KB online. No bundle.
GTK is LGPL. ie it can be linked into proprietary programs. This is a bit friendlier for developers of commercial software.
