  4. heh on Computer Faces Human Psychological Test · · Score: 1
    Turing test was basically "if it can trick a human to think it's real, then it passes". "Eliza" was written by Joseph Weizenbaum from MIT in 1966 and basically simulated a Rogerian psychoanalst by taking excerpts from a comment made to it and posing a question back. Since then, several forms of Eliza have appeared, including a Perl Script which I've now lost.

    However, the MMPI-2 basically analysis people to assist with the diagnosis of a mental disorder. It aids with:

    Forensic and neuropsychological evaluations, including the detection of malingering

    Evaluation for high-risk positions involving the public's safety

    Criminal justice and corrections

    Adult psychopathology

    Assessment and treatment of medical patients

    Substance abuse

    Marriage and family counseling

    College and career counseling

    I can't get to the news link because I want to know exactaly how they're adminstering this to a computer. Even though, my computer tends to drink a lot and start to hit me and freeze up on me... but I swear, it's loves me. It just has bad days at work...

    Wait... I'm missing the point, aren't I?

  10. Game Boy Advanced and the such. on Homebrew Gameboy Advance Lighting Project · · Score: 2

    Well, I just made myself a Game boy advanced "visor" using duct tape and cardboard. It matches the color (kind of) of the game boy and it blocks any external light, so I get a better visual. Sure, it's ghetto, but it's free!

    Also, Speaking about Penny-Arcade, which got me thinking about web comics, which reminded me of Diesel Sweeties, which provoked me visiting it, which caused me to discover this. It's Cowboy Neal if he were a pixely cartoon.

  11. One of my favorite... on What's the Best Online News Story You've Read Lately? · · Score: 3

    one of my favorite articles was on kuro5hin.org, it was the death of a false warrior. check it out. it was about an online journal of a "cancer patient" that got extremely popular and turned out to just be a hoax. actually, a few weeks after i read this article, i read a similar one in the nytimes.

  12. I think people fail to realize... on William Hanna Dead at 90 · · Score: 1

    I've noticed alot of people giving their input on the topic saying how HB's cartoons sucked and the such... but if you look at the cartoons revolving around the time HB made most of his cartoons, the other cartoons REALLY sucked. I mean really. They're terrible. He introduced a new type of cartoon with more identfiable cartoons (i.e. the idiocy of Fred Flintstone, the bad luck of Tom) and gave way to more cartoon evolution. The only reason we can enjoy some really great cartoons now (i.e. Dexter's Lab) is due to his work in the field. So before you tag this up with "first post bitch!" and the such, have a little respect. Or I'll spray paint FP on your tombstone.

  14. Re:It's not Linux... on Linux and Gnome Go to the Movies · · Score: 1

    This doesn't mean you win at all. The assumption that linux is running is a fair assumption. If you notice correctly, "...all the Sun logos..." are actually a part of a video they're watching. If I watch a live video feed of Bill Gates and he has a Microsoft logo, is it fair enough for ol' Joe Kiser here to assume that I'm running windows. No, it is not. Sheesh.

  15. Child Prodigy = Wuss Adult on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1
    Alright, as a small kid (I'm still pretty small, 15) I had a pretty high IQ. I did extremely well in my classes and in first grade they suggested I be moved to 5th grade, due to the fact that I was doing work at that level.

    My mom was loving the idea, but my father hated it. He thought that, especially in public schools, it's important to stay with kids your age. Even if you are smarter then the other kids, it's good to deal with people your age, as at one point of time, your peers will decide your fate. I'm really glad he decided that. No matter how smart you are, if you get all arrogant because your with kids much older then you, you get two things:

    no friends your age

    no friends in the grade your in

    basically, no friends at all. and social skills are all too important in buisness. look at today's richest men. though i'd hate to bring it up, bill gates is one of the more successful men dealing with computers. however, he knows nothing when compared to the rest of the computing community. while intelligence is half of the game, the other half is knowing how and when to talk. and you can't learn that no matter how many grades you skip... it comes with time.

    if you let the baby smash repeatedly on the keyboard and submit it, then it would have the youngest post on slashdot... making for a more idotic contest then first post.

  17. Re:He asked for it... on When The FBI Knocks, A First-Person Account · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see you didn't read his website fully. He actually says that he isn't debating whether he deserved it or not, rather that it was extremely unprofessional of the FBI to take his stuff.

    However, he does provide a great analogy of his so called "poking around", which can be found here. Furthermore, your "insightful" comment (I don't see it like that) was actually answered, with quotes such as these:

    "Many of you seem to think I was 'asking for it' by snooping around yankees.com so shortly after the hack. To those, I say: you're missing the point of why I wrote this. This was not written to defend my actions, only to point out how easy it is for people to misconstrue your actions, and get law enforcement involved. This is not a problem, in itself, but when the aforementioned law enforcement has the power to just yank away weeks, possibly months, maybe even years worth of effort.. This is the problem. "

    Isn't that a coicidence? It looks like hes directly talking to you! Read before you speak, young child.

  18. Recording Conversations on The Joys Of Big Business; or Why AT&T Long Distance Sux · · Score: 1

    I have seen a couple of people comment on how you should mention you are recording your conversation. Don't do this! Phone call recording requires that only one party know about it, so you can do it for court purposes. Which is perfect if you'd really like to milk phone company's for 200 dollars a pop. Who doesn't want a handspring, mp3 player or something else per call. I'll tell them no an infinite amount of time.

  19. Re:Say "Take me off your list now" on The Joys Of Big Business; or Why AT&T Long Distance Sux · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Phone solicitation is illegal. If the even debate the idea of removing you from their company's list, that itself can be backed by a lawsuit. I actually believe that there are many programs that actually play the message for you, and then hang up. Take a record of one of these calls, record it for reference, and if they do it again, file a grievance. It's absoutely ridicilous for a company to do this.

  21. Holds no Truths? on Linux Should Be Shunned · · Score: 1

    While what Firstbrook says holds no logic to why Linux isn't a good option for the buisness world, open source can also be a downfall. The thing is, there are going to be alot of undocumented changes, whether you like it or not. Sure, you might be lucky and have great IT staffers, but chances are you'll have some normal guys, eager to change things a bit. However, in Windows, as unreliable as it is, the options you can change are basically the options given to you. This "Reset to Default" mentality within windows, as against evolution as it may be, may be welcomed in a buisness where conforming is better then changes, even if those changes are beneficial at times.

    Also, in the literatary work "The Time Machine", while traveling through time, the character sees something thats description resembles an atomic explosion. This was written before there was ever even a theory for atomic warfare. Science fiction can be non-fiction from 200 years later.

    Try going to http://www.yahooka.com (yes its a hilariously clever name) and obtaining information from there. If you do find it, read on how its says that 75% percent of marijuana sold in the United States is imported.

  24. Re:this REALLY concerns me.... on Just Say No To Reading About Drugs · · Score: 1

    Funny you should mention something that is absoutely irrelvant to what I said. I never condoned making the explosives mentioned in the anarchist cookbook, I simply said it should be avalible, even for those that just want to print it out and read it in the bathroom for entertainment. I personally think doing anything someone anonymously wrote that deals with explosives is pure stupidity.

  25. Re:this REALLY concerns me.... on Just Say No To Reading About Drugs · · Score: 1

    First off, let me make it clear that while I dispise drugs myself, I think they should make it legal as a part of the survival of the fittest act of 2000.
    Second off, hes right though. Same thing happened with stuff like the "anarchist cookbook" and while I'm no potential terrorist (despite the persian ethnicity) I would still like to have the option to be able to find such information. After all, we're not babies. We should have access to any information of our choice. Perhaps next there will be laws passed about restrictions on programming programs that can be (not necessarily) used for harm, such as Back Orfice, Netbus or whatnot. Lets keep the government involved, but at arms length, cause once they get too involved, its hard to get them out.
    Perhaps a more logical thing to do is instead of passing laws to make sure people don't know about cultivation (even though about 75% or all marijuana and other natrual drugs are brought in from other countries, rather then grown here), maybe the government should deploy more people to crack down on dealers. Lets make sure kids dont get sold to, rather then make sure they dont grow up being able to grow it.
