  1. Re:PHP drawback? on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 1

    Regardless of your opinion of case sensitivity, PHP is bad because its inconsistent.

    Function names and class names are case insensitive, but variable names are case sensitive.

  2. Re: Simple on How Would Crypto Back Doors Work? · · Score: 1

    Well compressed data also looks like a random bitstream. You can not assume that something that looks like a random bitstream is encrypted to protect the data. It could just be "encrypted" to compress the data.

  3. The little bit of information I can provide... on Overlaps Between Biological And Artificial Neural Networks? · · Score: 3

    Artificial neural networks and actual neural networks are quite different, but neural nets have been used in a limited capacity to help explain some neurological disorders. These range from phantom limbs, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, and more. If you really wish to learn more about the subject I would highly recommend reading _The Mind within the Net_ by Manfred Spitzer published by MIT Press. It is quite a good beginning explaination of how artificial neural networks can contribute to understanding their biological counterparts. That is about all the information I can provide hopefully it will be of some use to you.

    The computer that took on Kasparov was Deep Blue. It was not named Deep Thought as the posting would indicate.
