Well, I should say that thing has been tested already, even tested in space already.
Back in 199x there were (and probably still are) amateur radio satelites circling the globe. While seeing it you would upload your mails, and the friendly ham in Australia would download them and distribute them down under. This way we could have long distance communication while the internet was still a bit expensive.
Let us just assume that there is much more neat technology already existing, we just have to find ways using it;)
try to be able to count liberties (remember you are sitting on the stone with your bicycle and only can leave it along the lines). Then finding out what a group is and when it has 0 liberties should be doable. After that you are basically set and can play.
There is, however, one "confusing" additional rule, the ko-rule, which basically states that I can not do a move so that the whole board (meaning every spot of it!) looks the same like two moves ahead. If there would be no ko-rule a (ko-)fight over one important spot would go on forever. (One would take out a stone, the other back, etc.).
People will want to explain you about Josekis, Empty triangle (DO NOT PLAY THEM!), Influence, Aggressive, Defensive play, Ladders etc. Listen (to be polite) but don't worry about not understanding.
Keep on playing your game by counting liberties and trying to figure out your personal strategy. It is proven, that all the other "rule-sets" can be discovered naturally. (Better start playing on a 9x9 board!)
Well, the previous said, I have to speak about he rule set as how to decide, who won the game. On a 19x19 board the one moving first (black) has an advantage, with makes a komi (points added to whites score at the end,6.5 is a good value). The amount of komi differs in the different countries rules, so does if only the empty spaces or also the stones itself are counted. BTW in 99% the cases neither difference matters for your (beginner) games - the same person would win. By the time it matters you will understand it easily;)
My personal opinion is that the way you describe is the correct solution. My personal experience is, that there are still a number of problems in there.
You are right as you wonder if it EVER will breed a good genome, especially as even a good attempt of genome will be equally crushed as a real bad genome. So a good rating function is the first necessary step.
I guess you have to do some sort of learning, input simplification with breeding in controlled surrounding (playing on the server like using KGSGTP is probably only at the end of the road, like after it doesn't emberrass itself by playing stones on top of existing ones or putting onself into atari).

Computer Cracks 5x5 Go

# but what is it that you get from playing Go?
Beside keeping your brain active (after all you need to continous learn), another property is worth spending the time. In Asia the "balance-of-things", which is tought by Go also highly tributes to the recognition of the game worth to be known by most of Japan's executive business men.
To give an example, and to comment on the real achievement of solving 5x5 Go, the smaller the Go board the more importance has your tactical skills. Like in chess the "reading moves ahead". I might say although the program used learning it might well be to have "just" found a good way of storing positions - never mind to do real strategy. Because on bigger boards (starting 13x13) strategy is another key issue. Finding the balance is the real key to mastering Go. Like in real life you can't get everything in one go, but sometimes allowing the other to win a tactical/local battle, will bring you forward in the big strategy. Hence Solving 5x5 Go misses out a most of the finer skills a real 1 Dan player needs to master.
You asked what it is worth, well, gaining real life experience will teach you that sometimes achieving a goal means holding the balance between different things. But it will so at costs, I like to put forward, that if you master Go, you will be able to skip some of the less pleasurable real life failures.
I remember a swedish guy explaining me his solution to SPAM. Each sendern, which isn't registered in the server whitelist will get a notification back like in many mailing list registrations. After replying the mail goes through and is entered into the whitelist. A nice side effect is that this not only filters out all the faked senders, but also people not considering their mail important enough to acknowledge they sent it.
I can see it, there will be a book vending machine next to each cola automat, my only problem will be that my selection algorithm still includes "flipping through the book and deciding if I can find the information I need within a few tries", maybe that machines will be more for the leisure reader...
Let's just assume we buy the usefullness of paying
and being identified wireless, but my question is: Why not just incorporate it into the cloth ?
One could still swap it into the dress of the evening and I doubt that you can turn up at this place with less then a dime in length textils on the body...
I am wondering how far the described method is effective to find any kind of plagiats.
Taken source code, copy it and change variable names (like done in some student projects) and now run it via the shred algorithm. To my understanding the
MD5 hash of two bitstrings only with only one bit difference are still not related at all (ie. can be shown to be closer than two bit strings with many bit difference). Hence the algorithm would not find
the variable-name-changed source code, if it compares three lines in one go.
Wouldn't code snipplets passed into new projects always require some sort of name adaption ?
In the context of todays access control I came up with the idea of "partial outsourcing", meaning that
the access control decision can be partially influenced by external entities. Sure this might be only wise
toward the "deny-side", but today everybody does it already with their virus killers and the externally maintained signature database.
Transfered to the topic above, I could imagine having at the ISP a sort of
interface for the dialin PC to set its own rules. Default would be the be the protective setting, while everybody can enhance or limit the firewall like desired.
Using OmniRemote together with the
TV-Uni Remote and
VCR-Uni Remote you can reach the same goal for even more brands - ok initially setup might not be as comfortable...
BTW have you read about this guy, which was
haking his furby using OmniRemote ?
Reading much about all the exploits and patches an administrator has to apply and being aware that management knows less about security than productivity. What would you suggest them how to rate the quality of their security administration ?
That is would you, say, be hapier if nobody breaks in, even into the honeypots, as this yields secure setups. Or is someone able to deal with incidents the better administrator ? Or the guy writing his own defence mechanism ?

> These tests are all at 64 kbps and most people use much higher bitrates for real music.
Maybe the difference at 160kB is such small that any opinion is based on biased preferences. So if you do a test at 64kBit and then proof/estimate the "scaling" behaviour. You should be able to really tell about the quality of the codecs.
To my knowledge only recently the CEBIT was split from computer fair to business oriented technology fair. There exist something called CEBIT Home now, which would target people interested in playstations.
For me therefor kicking out the PS2 (and/or XBOX) wouldn't be that surprising an idea.
Well, what about making them bid for it and a bid may not only include money, but also the task of defending you against the other law suits.
