Why is your definition of "clever" limited to mathematical problems? An AI that could build a better AI could mean a lot of things, including it's ability to survive or creativity. For this reason, I'm sure AI will be able to evolve itself. It's a question of what it will evolve into and whether it has a choice (free will) in the matter.
The Googlebar for Firefox is another example of a Firefox extension. I'm using it right now and I didn't notice any lag. But my bookmark file only has around 75 bookmarks.
This is still amazingly useful. Integration with Google Bookmarks and Trends would be cool , since I have the tendency to search for things on Google rather than bookmarking them.
Nearly all the posts on Slashdot so far point to Novell and say that they're trying to cash in on SCO.
While it seems that Novell is feeding the fear of users, they're really not. It simply says that Novell is willing to spend big $$$ in legal fees to fend off SCO just as IBM is. However, they are doing this volentarily in order to make extra sales. This helps Linux/open source. Notice that they are not charging extra ($600) for this service.
Think of SCO as the terrorists of Linux. Novell is offering protection, just as if some airline started carrying on board guards. Whether or not you think it's useful, its there for those companies who are not buying into Linux because of SCO's allegations.
Hi, this site is all about Google, REAL GOOGLE. This site is awesome. My name is bwdunn and I can't stop thinking about Google. Those guys are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.
Google can kill anyone they want! Google cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. Those guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was these Google dudes who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the Google dudes killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw one totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe that Google have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
Google is sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact. Google is fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can't wait to start programming next year. I love Google with all of my body (including my pee pee)............ (staying on topic) While this service may be cool, it'll make 'cheating' for students much easier. How I've always wanted a search feature for my text books! =D
Time travel is an incredibly powerful weapon; consider what a knife to the throat of the infant Hitler would have done to history, and how many people would leap at the chance, consequences be damned.
How would you know that some other devastating person hasn't already been killed?
You're assuming that the user has their hand on the keyboard already.
What if they're browsing along (let me see you do that easily with a keyboard) and they want to close the window, wouldn't it be faster to do with the mouse?
And for some real speed try using mouse strokes ( Opera )
Ameritech's DSL service for once pulled through this one. The only difference I saw was that my modem resync'd quite a few times, till now that things have died down a bit (seeing 200 accesses to port 80 instead of over 500.)
Those with their service know of the usually unhelpful tech support.

This is probably to go head to head with Windows Live Writer
Not only that, but they chose to use simplejson which is superior and under a free-er license than the library json-py.

Correction:
The world uses 30 billion barrels a year and increasing.
However, 4 billion barrels is still significant where it shouldn't be too much trouble get.
Stop the Roland Piquepaille assfest now!
Yea those are pretty damn annoying, overhyped shit.
There is a free Microsoft Word viewer which is pretty tiny. I wish open office would have an equivilent app.
actually..you can bypass the whitelist by just downloading the xpi to the hard drive and then drag n'drop to Firefox...
Or kinda like NASA having a bunch of rovers doing double overtime.
Overestimating is just as bad underestimating when you look at the big financial picture.
At least this will give Intel some motivation to actually invent again and slow the innovation.
What will likely happen, within the next twenty years is the advent of commercialized space travel.
I'm guessing those who are motivated with money and exploration will be the same ones motivated to reach the moon 'first.'
Since spyware has gone cross-platform thanks to the XPI extensions, they've now implemented a whitelist (see What's New) in retaliation.
This really is open source at its best. Microsoft has not responded to the same problems involving ActiveX.
I can't way until they offer nine day cruises to near-space.
Imagine the view...
Seriously, this is a good stepping stone to space tourism.

In Soviet Russia the girls decide your dreams!!
If you were trapped on an 10x10 meter island with nothing but a coconut tree and did not know of 'civilization' what would you do?
Then, what would you do if we added Natalie Portman to your island?? (hot grits included) Yea, that's what I thought.Now try fitting that in a cubicle..
It may be 200 gig...but I'm hearing this gorilla sized hard drive screaming as the slashdot effect takes over...
I hope this isn't the same interpreter they used for Zero Wing...
