  1. This is actually important. on An Inside Look At the First Church of Artificial Intelligence (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    A righteous movement. 100% support.

  2. Spaceward Ho! on Most Impressive Game AI? · · Score: 1

    Spaceward Ho! had the only real AI. Seriously nasty nasty nasty... or maybe it was the high consumption of beers with many friends in the same game and room. Any way, we were in mortal fear of the AI's.

    Long live Spaceward Ho!

  3. GNOME nerddate 0.1 on GNOME Reaches Out to Women · · Score: 1

    This just smacks of an excuse to get email addresses of ultimate fantasy women, those who can code.

  4. Wow 1.11 will have bigger impact on Will World Cup Streaming Cause Internet Meltdown? · · Score: 1

    Sports fans continue to overestimate their relevance to humanity. Wow 1.11 patch will have a bigger effect on the internet IMO.

  5. Teh real l1t3r4cy on What Should One Know to be Truly Computer Literate? · · Score: 1

    leet speak skillz. The only real measure of computer literacy.

  6. Midiclorians are agents of intelligent design on Slashback: Little Red Hoax, Firefly, Google · · Score: 3, Informative

    Intelligent Design is not provable as a theory, because they are yet to admit that Midiclorians prove the truth of Intelligent Design.

    The Force is the manifestation of Intelligent Design. Midiclorians are its agents, shaping and forming all life.

    Light Saber training should be included within the High School Science Curriculumn. This will also be very popular with High School students and renew their interest in Science, and additionally is a mechanism to make sporting oriented students have as much to offer science in the classroom as academically oriented students. In this way Science will also be more supportive of diversity.

  7. id Software owns the Chip Market on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Intel and AMD should just realise that it is id Software that drives the early adopter market segment of chips. id should be getting a cut of all cpu's sold. Pay the MS Tax, and the id Tax.

    View Quake (and soon Doom) releases relative to chip sales, and I'm convinced there will be a correlation. There is wider macro economic factors, but the key driver is Frames Per Second for the latest id software release.

  8. Young people need to learn respect on Does Age Really Matter? · · Score: 1

  9. Old Economy Doctors on Are Computers Stealing Your Memory? · · Score: 1

    Well, the doctors over stepping their mark again on how relevant their opinions are. Hmm.. something about the evils of computer games comes as a flash back. If only we all chose nice safe ways to occupy our time and did things the old fashioned way. Frankly, the fact that I can do more, achieve more, and EARN more than these self promotingly smart doctors by not bothering to remember stuff they think is important certainly says something. I don't need to remember this stuff, cause unlike them, I know how to use a search engine. Economics mentions something I also don't bother to remember about opportunity cost and something else about benefits of specialisation.......

  10. Telstra (Aussie Telco) only support M'soft & Mac on OS-Independent Web Banking? · · Score: 1

    On this subject, when attempting to get ADSL installed in Australia, our largest Telco (and in reality only) http://www.telstra.com informs me that to get ADSL I am required to have a Microsoft or Macintosh operating system AND have physical copies of original software present or they will not install.

    Bit of a bitch really, as I work for a large consulting firm (hint, it's changing it's name soon and it wasn't bought out...) that has a global liscence with Microsoft. I also run linux as well on my own PC, so either way don't have "orignal disks present".

    When querying about Linux, was told categorically "Linux is not a supported platform for ADSL in Australia." and then told outright if I only used linux I simply could not have ADSL. I mean really guys, the ethernet card already works and is configured for DHCP, it's just a matter of plugging the blue cable into the ADSL modem.

    - Oh, thats right, it's an open source blue cable that Telstra doesn't have a strategic alliance with.
