Sounds like they are taking a cue from Bungie and the marketing they did with Halo 2. Cryptic, hidden messages and all that rot. In other words *cough*hype*cough*.
What I am referring to is getting a computer to truly think and interact with the environment in the manner a human would. Of course there is AI now, to a limited extent. My God, it shows up in every video game we play, but I'm not going to let that game make a choice in any real capacity. Something like C-3PO is vastly beyond our capabilities and will contiue to be for a very long time. That's what I'm referring to. Truly human thought and thought processes.
That's the problem with AI. As of right now, it can only fake intelligence, and not very well. Steven Pinker delves into this concept in his book How the Mind Works. Our brain comes into this world understanding what kinds of things it will come into contact with. Yes, it is pre-programmed to an extent. Example: When we see the number 4 we know the different ways to reach it. 1+3, 2+2, etc. An AI doesn't come pre-programmed with the information necassary to interact and understand the world. His basic conclusion was that it's going to take alot of smaller processes to add up to a larger one that can effectively fake intelligence, instead of one unit that controls everything. True AI isn't technically viable for another few hundred years, barring any massive leaps in technology.
Do you know what a texel is? 2 texel's are equal to 1 mutitextured pixel. That means the Geforce2 only pumps out 800 MILLION PIXELS per second as compared to 733 million pixels from the V5 5500 and 1.47 Gigapixel's a second from the V5 6000. What this means is that Nvidia used a different representation of fillrate to sound better than they actually are. Nvidia is good at making things look better that they actually are check this page out http://www.nvidia.com/GeForce256.nsf/htmlmedia/gpu .html. This page is very misleading about the way the geforce can improve your graphics. Don't get me wrong the geforce is a good chip. I just can't respect a company that will go out of there way to mislead there customers.

that code worked in all the konami games.
