    oh don't worry we paid full price for X payload to go from point A to point B, and the lego deal was just a little extra on the side, its a common thing for moving companies

  3. Re:Not what you think on Stanford 'Intro To AI' Course Offered Free Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    CS221 is the introductory course into the field of Artificial Intelligence at Stanford University. It covers basic elements of AI, such as knowledge representation, inference, machine learning, planning and game playing, information retrieval, and computer vision and robotics. CS221 is a broad course aimed to teach students the very basics of modern AI. It is prerequisite to many other, more specialized AI classes at Stanford University.

    sounds like electronic human brains is the goal to me

    well I can assure you most places do not shut off their AC when they leave, do you know how much time it takes to get the office back down to 60? (no seriously thats a fad here AC must be 60 so you get a chest cold when you walk in from 103 degree temps, cause little Susie secretary has not spent a day outside since school)

    no its just a bloated corpse ready to pop and make a big mess

    I never really understood the appeal of java, yea ok I get its "benefits" but I also get that that usually means I am going to have to install some annoying shit VM that nags me to update every 3 days just so I can run some kiddy script with a bad UI and just qualifying as functional program that runs 9x slower than it really should.

    I have yet to see a quality java program the entire time its been out

    yea and we didnt hear the exact same arguments years ago with PDA's

    hey this Cassiopeia runs windows and is damn near as powerful as your big bulky box but it fits in your pocket, it even has office crap so you can do a spreadsheet on the go

    well that didnt happen, touchscreens with tiny keyboards are a pain in the royal ass, and outside of android every linux thing has failed (and frankly android is set to fail in something newer with much more restrictive licensing) and no matter how big you make the screen its not going to replace 104+ buttons and a 23 incher

    LXDE actually is a bit heavier, and much klunkier

    brought to you from a former LXDE praiser ... that is until I saw how XFCE stompped its ass on a 300Mhz Power PC, and by the simple fact there is a GFD trashcan where I can find it without having to run a file-manager (really PC-fileman or whatever is the 1 shit stain on LXDE outside of speed on retardedly old machines)

    really what is so important in 2011 about unix tools that have not been migrated to every other relevant OS

    yea ok in MS-DOS days multitasking multiuser netowrked OS was a big fucking deal, now days not so much as every system does what *.nix did 40 years ago and much more

    its not Honda vs Schwinn, its Chevy vs Honda, so do you want a better value after time, lower price and better safety? thats a 2011 argument, the invalid and decade(s) old notion that windows just cant do X is silly, especially considering X is usually some shoehorned half assed problem solver from 1977

    Good call, up until recently I was preaching LXDE! and that is a fine desktop but it has a lot of klunk, I put debian on my powermac9600 with XFCE 4.6 and wow its pretty darn good and is now my favorite. A simple desktop that doesn't forget 1984 simple standards, gets the hell out of the way and is extremely fast. How fast? well my powermac 9600 is 300Mhz with 256meg of EDO ram and is upgraded with a PCI ati R7000 card and I use it daily on my electronics bench, 14 years later with debian, thats pretty good.
