I mean, playing chess or basically anything easier than go is no longer considered intelligence, limited parsing of sentences is no longer considered intelligence. How long before we find out that nothing is left to be called 'intelligence'?
You're missing the point. Currently all the AI out there is Top down AI and they can hardly be considered Intelligent and over emphasis the Artificial. Show me an AI that learns to play Chess all on its own starting from nothing but the board and pieces, then I'll consider it intelligent. What you are pointing out as AI are really nothing more then massive lookup tables. Heck even most GA are nothing more then an elaborate way to create a lookup table that will work for a given game or condition. Deep Blue was nothing more then an expensive database since the programmers had to tweak with it in-between games. It failed the basic point of Intelligence and that would be to learn on its own. If my parents had to open up my brain every time so that I could "Improve" I'm sure they would have lobotomized me by now.
The PDF mentions both Cable and DSL. Hopefully what this means is that they will stop spending the money making perfectly good copper incompatible with DSL. There are lots of things they do to plain copper to get a traditional phone signal out to rural areas that makes it nonfunctional with DSL.
The UK? The poster child of Big Brother is watching you with CCTV? They can only triangulate your position at a particular point in time? What's to stop them from say... looking at the CCTV footage at the particular point in time? Not only could they have a picture of you but then follow the footage of you though out the day. Who cares if you fibbed about your identity on the login screen. Eventually you have to go home or talk to friends and they'll see that.
When the final set of 8's were handed out I got in contact with my ISP and this is what they said
Qwest has taken care of the IPv4 exhaust issue for our residential customers at the ISP level. We are implementing the capability to communicate with contacts at both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This transition will be transparent to Qwest residential and business customers.
I'm not sure if the transition can actually be transparent since at a minimum I'll have to do something with my TCP/IP so it knows that IP6 is there, and from the looks of it my Modem doesn't support it ether without maybe a firmware upgrade.
The "Criticism" was mostly emotionally based, and had very little in the way of "facts". It consists of similar arguments that was used in The Trail of Socrates. If no one ever did rampant speculation we all would have stopped with the Laws of Motion. Newton was good but if Einstein didn't go off and speculate about time our GPS system wouldn't work and we'd just chuck it up to "imprecise measurements" like Newton did with the orbit of Mercury.
My Modem has a telnet remote access if it's turned on and way back the Cisco 675 had it as well and someone could attack it and get in if the owner never turned telnet on so I would suspect they maybe hitting devices that have telnet that the user hasn't locked out yet.
Or we stop using math based encryption. In a world of cheap bandwidth and cheap storage we can switch to one time pads. While A sends encrypted data to B using one time pad P1, new one time pads are sent from crypto server C to both A and B using separate encryption keys/pads. There is no math problem to solve, no way to determine the key. Not even quantum computing will help with this.
Isn't that what the Enigma did and that was broken by Colossus Mark 1 though only 25% of the time since the Pad changed daily. It requires the users to of the Pad to be very diligent in using the pad correctly otherwise the security will be compromised.
A really secure encryption is what the US used with the Navajo language. Get a group of people who know an undocumented language and then change the definition of all the words so only that small group actually knows the real meaning of the words. It would take a linguist a long time to figure out they swapped the Navajo word for Potato for Grenade and with no documentation to work from to boot.
The existence of the insurance file regardless of the Rick Roll content and him saying I'll release all these secrets if you shut me down is undeniably Black Mail, and he should have his year in prison and the fine for doing it. It is what makes him a despicable deplorable human being, and doesn't help him in other arguments about the type of character he is. It is also why he isn't a journalist of any kind.
Now the rape can go ether way in my opinion but I view it's probably all just a contrived story that he and the girls colluded to get a conspiracy theorists spot light on him.
There is no more or less evidence then there is in most rape cases of this kind. This is more of a Date Rape then the stalker rape, and Date Rape is always a He Said She Said situation. There is no evidence to support your claim that this is a vendetta for him cheating on them. If anything they slept with him because they were drawn to his celebrity status, and if they were aware he was in the habit of sleeping with any woman who threw themselves at him they would of course want a condom used. Mostly out of fear of an STD or they just didn't want his kids. Then we have his dating profile from years back and it sounds a bit too much like the guy who just wants to get a woman pregnant. Also condoms don't break that easily unless you're doing it on purpose or are an idiot. I've seen a condom stretched around a microphone and not break. So he ether got one that was way too large like the guys in India have a problem with the condoms being too big, or he put it on wrong but since it broke before he was finished the pinching an inch wasn't the issue since that only breaks when you're done, it may have been defective which can happen but is very rare, or he diliberatly sabotaged it like when a woman uses vasoline knowing that it will break the condom.
I'm personally more of the it's a conspiracy kind though but not by the government. It's a conspiracy by Assange to create more media attention and give him a way to release his Black Mail insurance file, and claim they were trying to silence him.
Do you even know what you are talking about? What part of Coup do you think people don't understand? What happened in Honduras was a Coup and everyone knew that long before the Cables came out. All the cables expose is some diplomats opinion of how Honduras should have delt with the Coup. Like the crew that just took over the ship is going to have a trial about how that was not legal. Since when is a Coup legal? Who cares that behind closed doors our diplomats were cursing up a storm. In the end their job is to work with who ever is in charge. We have the choice of withdrawing from the world and saying what we really think of dictators to their faces or we can play in the world and talk behind their backs as long as we don't say it directly to their faces. This isn't news this is Gossip!
Well First I think the summary at least has the name of the TCK wrong. I was under the impression that it was called the Technology Compatibility Kit, but I and wiki could be wrong. In part the TCK puts patent restrictions on the developer. The major restriction that you get is you cant make your JVM that works on a mobile platform, like a cell phone. This is actually the main sticking point but I'm sure there are lots of other restrictions as well.
As interesting as what you have to say is. The definition of Crime and Criminal that you are giving are not in any dictionary that I have. You're also implying that the respondents of the survey actually gave the logical contradiction. This is unlikely and if it was asked in such a way would have resulted in massively biased data. It is more likely that the researcher giving the report summarized the data and wrote a poorly formed conclusion. We'd need to know what the respondents were asked to know what conclusion he should have come to, and I doubt it would be the same contradictory one.
If you read the whole sentence you're pointing out in the article they say
shouldn't be illegal, that there was no criminal act involved
The problem isn't the Slashdot summary but the article. They constructed a sentence that contains a logical contradiction. The survey respondents can't think that file sharing shouldn't be illegal and think that there isn't any criminal act since if they thought it shouldn't be illegal that would be it was a criminal act, and if they think there isn't any criminal act involved they they would think that it was legal and not that it shouldn't be illegal.
Also A lot of the different pricing comes from recoup costs for subsidizing the smart phone and tablet costs. The just do the math as we need to make up X for each customer who uses a smart phone because we give out Y number of smartphones at Z loss. Z/Number of estimated users = the amount we need to jack up the price. Some items cause them to loose more money then others like the little USB modem may cause them to loose more money and thus creates a different price system. 1 megabyte is the same no matter what but what device you use puts you in a different group of people that cost them money. Comes down to there is no such thing as a free phone. You'll pay in the cost of service if you actually get a free one and cost others who didn't because they don't charge them less for not participating in the annual commitment scam they charge them more to "encourage" them to join the cult of "free"

You're missing the point. Currently all the AI out there is Top down AI and they can hardly be considered Intelligent and over emphasis the Artificial. Show me an AI that learns to play Chess all on its own starting from nothing but the board and pieces, then I'll consider it intelligent.

Then how about just boycott the game?

They clearly failed evolution 101
If DM's were gang leaders their gangs would have to come though scores of instant death traps just to have an audience.
It will teach her child a lesson.
No it wont you Nimrod RTFA and then lookup Autism. If it is that easy for someone to cheat then MS should have closed the hole a long time ago.
My Modem has a telnet remote access if it's turned on and way back the Cisco 675 had it as well and someone could attack it and get in if the owner never turned telnet on so I would suspect they maybe hitting devices that have telnet that the user hasn't locked out yet.
If the crazy guy yesterday is correct (Probably not but IF) then will any kind of DRM really work?

High ping, high jitter, low bandwidth once you factor in number of users and high cost, what could be better?
Dialup
Is that why they used a constant instead of a random number?
Encryption does not stop them from throttling my packets based on a destination. Like say Comcast customers to NetFlix customers.
Could you give an actual example of what FCC behavior you're upset with. Broad generalities do not help your argument.
