  1. Re:I *am* a neuro-scientist, and... on Future Actions Predicted From Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    Yes, this allows us neuroscientists to then go on to do more interesting things like design systems to control robotic limbs, but it also enables us to ask interesting questions such as how does experience/learning effect the behaviour of these bits of brain.

    One end point of this (amongst others) is to figure out how the brain works enough that we can duplicate useful techniques for use with artificial intelligence.

    As some scholar already pointed out, I doubt that your approach works at all. For example, if I give you an excellent scope that detects every electro-magnetic activities of a personal computer, can you build(or design) a personal computer from such data of electro-magnetic activities? A human brain is some orders of magnitude more complex than a personal computer. I bet that you can't figure out a personal computer with such an approach. Your neuro-science approach can't work.

  2. Unicode not yet supported ? on OpenBSD 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    As a CJK user, I want to have Unicode supported on OpenBSD. Last time I checked, OpenBSD didn't have a support yet. Any news for I18N on OpenBSD 4.8 ?

  4. Re:Information-starved masses won't see the intern on North Korea Opens .kp Sites On the Internet · · Score: 1

    In South Korea, it is illegal to tune to N. Korean radio, TV. Connecting to N. Korean internet sites is also illegal in South Korea.

  5. almost all routers sold in Korea on Home Router For High-Speed Connection? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's been more than 4 years since 100Mbps connections became popular in Korea. Nowadays, almost all routers sold in Korea are 100Mbps ready. Best selling local brands like Iptime or Anygate and impoted models like Netgear WGR614SS are all advertised to support a 100Mbps connection. It's been discontinued, but even a new version (can't remember the version number) of Linksys WRT54G with 100Mbps support was introduced in Korea couple of years ago.

  6. Re:arguably Apple share the blame on First iPhone Worm Discovered, Rickrolls Jailbroken Phones · · Score: 1

    yes same as the wireless router password. People just don't change the default password.

  7. Re:I think I can I think I can on Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House · · Score: 1

    Maybe the US will finally join the rest of the industrialized world in actually providing medical care to its citizens, instead of taking the, "find your own care" attitude.

    The historical reason the US is the only industrialized country without universal healthcare is because of race. The majority did not want to spend their tax money to pay the minority's healthcare. It is historically as simple as this.

    Now the US medical industry has done wonders, and many average white people have a hard time to pay their healthcare costs. So we will see how much wonders the US medical industry has actually done pretty soon.
