I'm a chess fan, but I dont see any point in the computer vs. human matches. these "AI" chess playing computers simply look at threes and a database of good/common moves. real AI doesnt use trees (too many possibilities)
IBM even trained deep blue for kasparov, but kasparov never got a chance to play deep blue so could not have any idea of weaknesses in it's game (eg positions not in its database where it would have to waste time looking at the move tree.) which forced him to play very nonstandard games and use styles he is not used to using
to me, the fact that deep blue took kasparov does not mean anything except that kasparov is a truly amazing player (who else can compete against a super-comptuer programmed by computer scientists at a top corporation created soley to beat them?)
even more amazing is that kasparov only lost the series on a game where he was completely off
don't exist? almost every new usb device i have seen is made for usb 2.0. sure, they have support for 1.1, but who wants to use 1.1 after have paying for usb 2.0 ports and devices?
i think you meant "go to best buy and ask to buy a device that exclusively uses usb 2.0"

You see, Microsoft just has to rename to "Fuzzy Bunny Corporation" and immediately, the Slashdot editors, Linux zealots, Mac zealots, and judges will ike them.
I disagree. KOffis seems to (currently) be lacking too many useful features. IMO, it's the opposite of most open source office suites; it looks great on the outside, but some work has to be done under the hood
Slashdot Mirror
lets see...
1) The story is based on an e-mail from some guy with a hotmail account
2) Why in the world would dell send something at random to this guy? (i have not heard any confirmation from dell or other slashdotters)
3) How likely is it that Dell would send an attachment when 1/2 of Dell users probably dont know how to open it?
4) Even if Microsoft did make this pointless move. why would they press such unreasonable dates such as September 1st?
have it written on the roof of your mouth or even on your chest with a tatoo. Anywhere nobody will see it until they perform an autopsy
mmkay...who just found out that the earth is round
i'd be happy to! i just need an address and cc#

Most poor men would laugh at the idea of turning down a large amount of money because of small concerns that what they are doing is unethical.
Hell, rich people would also; just look at some of the huge corporations
blame the companies who tell the programmers what to do.
Uhm. there have always been os-free computers.
Don't most unix users build their own pcs anyways? for the 1337ness factor?
