  2. Authors have not read "Our Inner Ape" on Evolving Humans on the Menu · · Score: 1

    From the article:
    > By contrast, our closest relatives - chimpanzees - have been shown
    > not to come to the aid of others, even when it would pose no cost to themselves.

    I guess the authors have not read the book "Out Inner Ape" published in 2005:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1573223123/103-02 02513-6289443?v=glance&n=283155

    The book talks about empathy displayed by bonobos. I highly recommend it.

  3. More information on There Inc. Officially Launches Online World · · Score: 1

    Here is a Wired News article about There.

    There is even a picture of a Shopping Cart Hoverboard I modeled.

  4. Playing against machines online? on Keep Playing With AI · · Score: 1

    The whole point of online gaming is to play against human players who can react to new situations with original ideas.

    Why on Earth would I pay to go online to play against hundreds of machines who are playing on behalf of their owners?

  5. I have trouble with XPlay on my PC on iPod on Windows · · Score: 1

    I bought the iPod a month ago. I tried XPlay Preview 4 and 5 on Windows 2000, and encountered the "write-behind data lost" once in a while. In the end, I just gave up.

    In the process, I have managed to download close to a hundred tracks to iPod. Some of them can't be played by XPlay. XPlay will simply wait for a few seconds, and then skip these tracks.

    I think I'll probably end up buying the iMac...

  6. Re:You must be kidding? on Smallest RC Cars? · · Score: 1

    With 1.0 motor, it actually runs for about 5-7 minutes. I am sure 2.0 and 2.6 motors will discharge the battery much faster.

  7. Re:But...... How Fast... on Smallest RC Cars? · · Score: 1

    DigiQ is much faster than a walking adult. Given its size (and the size its tiny wheels), that is quite some speed. On the other hand, turning at such speed is almost impossible. Cornering is an art, even in the easy mode.
