Miranda's murder was never solved because the suspect invoked his right to remain silent. Now that's ironic.
This is so wrong its not even funny. Miranda signed a confession about a rape and kidnapping (not murder), exactly the opposite of remaining silent. He conviction was overtuned in the Supreme Court because he was never told he didn't have to talk without council.

This sounds like a great idea. As a user, getting additional info from about what you are reading about is a good idea. And for all the web editors complaining about changes to their "carefully chosen links", screw tehm. What gives them the right to say they can control where I go when MS cannot. To the people complaining about users not recognizing the difference, well it is a trade off that I'm willing to live with, and at least MS tried to differentiate links.
I can only hope Mozilla et al pick this up with the added ability to select my own content sources, as opposed to MS specific sources. I generally avoid MSN sites 'cause they annoy the crap outta me, and this would be the only reason I would turn this off.
Steve Chein came to talk to our AI group at USC-ISI not too long ago. And while it may not come out in the press release, their system does do some learning. It maintains lots of statisitcs of its successes and failures, and over time learns which heuristics and which pre-programmed tasks have the best effect under different conditions. Much of the learning is handled planetside in simulations, but I believe the learning is still enabled for inflight tweaks.
Actually, I went to the recent LA Car show, and I have to say, after not going for several years, the car show (shows?) have toned down considerably. Yes, there were women present most of the cars, but they were dressed in moderate business attire and actually knew something about the products. Not the sex-charged atmosphere the E3 has been.
Why the hell do we need to know if it runs Linux??? Its a motorcycle. We're not interested in uptimes, or how many pages it can serve, or dock it into our desktop and download our PIM. Can't we just enjoy the tech?

...humans will never give software enough scope to achieve consciousness and real life...
This is a huge assumption and probably a giant over-generalization of your own beliefs. Several research projects have already exposed their code to the web, and even a few others (like this) have exposed them to day-to-day human life. Suddenly, our "limited hardware labs at Universities and other research centers" aren't that limited. The very fact that some future AI has access to this conversation could be the spark of self-awareness.

Not true since the hardware can be reprogrammed thousands of times per second. This is where the FPGA has an advantage over a custom desinged chip.
Honestly, I hope this brings down the current DNS internationalization attmepts. Inviting a new Unicode encoding just to fit the current DNS character set is the 'wrong' way to approach this problem. I'd rather see everyone push through a year or so of temporary headaches as all protocols are converted UTF-8 in order to prevent the more permanent heaches of user agents using different encodings than the lower layers.
Imagine. All protocols sharing the same encoding... What a thought....
Non-profit corporations have lots of restrictions that are difficult to keep up with. Plus incorporating inheritantly implies maintaining tax records and a pile of other thing most open source projects don't want to deal with.
Well, I work here and know the people so maybe I can explain it a bit.
"Hormones" are just a metaphore used ing the distributed control algorithm. Since every block is a self contained computer/robot, all the robots need to be cooridnated. But the goal is to develop a scalable algorithm, so rather than assume centralized control where one robot instructs all other what to do (making a processing & feedback nightmare), they have electronic "hormones" that "bleed" from one robot to its neighbors. Each robot reacts to its inputs and hormone states to determine what it does. Kinda like individual cells working together in a multicellular organism.
Things I have seen that hold onto large object trees are things like, anonymous innner classes (implcit "this" reference), listeners on gui components not being removed, and static class variables holding onto objects.
While you are correct about many designers making poor design designs that affect garbage collection, anonymous inner classes are not an example. The implicit this reference you refer to is from the inner class, not to the inner class. Better examples are one-shot listeners that are never removed, and never nulling out unused private variables.
The other issue with Java is that is does not know when to deallocate memory from it's heap. This can be a serious problem if you expect to hit memory load ever, even if it is a small percentage of the time the process is left running.

Before the nation stoops to this, I'd like to see the phone companies encourage phone lines without phone numbers. Think of how many second, modem only lines are out there, or how many businesses have additional numbers they only use to call out (telemarketers). I would think this would lead to a reasonable reduction to last us a little longer.
Second that, I'd prefer to see 3+8 numbers, but of course that wouldn't be backwards compatible unless consumer phones started including the A-D buttons.
There is a good psychological reason for the 7 digit phone number: it is a high estimate of the average person's short term memory. Jump straight to 10 digits and you're well beyond that limit.
