Deep Algorithms?

Interesting opinion, but I've used Genetic Algorithms for different kind of problems like optimization, machine learning, etc. Yes, they are damn slow, but in many problems there is no other feasible solution.
I don't know what do you understand for AI, but I know several examples of AI working today in many areas like biology, medicine, robotics, economics, etc. I don't know any intelligent program to which you can take an intelligent talk, but I know many people who can't too.
I use OpenLDAP 2.0.14 for Linux. To edit/browse the LDAP directory I use LDAP Explorer 1.16, although the newest version is 1.17. It's web based and done in PHP 4.x:
All of us DO know that Micro$oft's programs are full of bugs and security holes, but I don't think we should post every security hole on slashdot. Everyone know that M$ sucks, but please: don't post more stuff like this and concentrate on improving whatever is your open source operating system (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) because they have security holes too.
Is there some way to convert a song to a DNA? Could I reconvert all my MP3 to DNA sequences? If this could be possible... when will be released a DNA player for my car?;)
I remember when Microsoft released Office95 and changed the version numbers of all the applications to match. I think Excel passed from 5.0 to 7.0. This is innovation? Version numbering is not related to innovation.
...the company will now share 95 percent of its code with any developer that has 1500 Windows licenses and has also signed a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. According to the company, that's about 1000 customers.
The other 5 percent is stolen code?
"What we hope to do is allow customers developing custom apps to optimize the application by stepping through the APIs (application programming interfaces) they are having trouble with," said Jason Matusow, product manager for source licensing at Microsoft.
If they did better API documentation they won't had to "open" the code.
Is this interesting? This implies we already can understant human genome? No.
Doing a comparison with computers: If you had the binary executable of a program of an architecture you don't know... how would you suppose what means every bit of this file? And, the most important, how would you discover the instructions this processor can understand?
The "solution" is to search for species with small sequences of DNA and compare to others. Finally you could try to modify some of this to see what changes in the final individual. But we won't get anything in a near future, perhaps we won't see any real use for this in our lifes.
This won't be the reason for which Microsoft will collapse. Users one day (farther than 6 months) will be able to decide to put Windows or Linux (and this will be comparable to Windows in desktop and much stable). Users will choose Linux because it's free.

XMPS, Xtheater and Avifile use the windows codec dll's to display DivX movies in a similar way it does Wine. I use Avifile and I have seen many movies with it (in full screen!). I know all this programs have to improve but now they are usable. Some applications considered alpha are more stable than some products released as "final" by M$...

There is something called Gnome Foundation to do something similar to what you are saying. The problem is time: M$ has a good desktop NOW but Linux will have in the future. There is a lot of work to do and there are many people working (not only in Gnome Foundation).
> But now its time to actually think about Desktop things. KDE and Gnome need to work together. Tons of multimedia apps need to be written. Browsers need much improvement. And if a non-M$ company does it, I will be thrilled. If M$ does it, I wont be thrilled, but I know for sure that for that 5% of the time, I will be using it.
There are tons of multimedia apps for Linux now but most of them are in alpha stage and have similar features. I agree with you, they should work together to do only one product better.
Microsoft doesn't have to release his M$ Linux Open Source. M$ can make programs under Linux without having to do them OSS. I disagree with your viewpoints about the software M$ can bring to Linux. I think that Mozilla is pretty usable now, under Windows is faster than IE and is more compliant to web standards. StarOffice (and OpenOffice) is comparable in features to M$ Office now and is more compatible within different versions than M$ Office. Game support under Linux has improved a lot. The next release of XFree86 (4.0.2 or 4.1?) will support more 3D graphics card, will be more stable and will be comparable in velocity to Windows (some Geforce benchmarks show this now). You already can view DivX and ASF under Linux (with some emulation tricks). I think M$ can do nothing for Linux. When M$ will start to porting programs to Linux there will be an OSS equivalent for each one. Users will decide which to use...

They can solve a large set of optimization problems and the basic idea is very simple.

Just my opinion.

I've been usign GVD for a couple of weeks and works well with multithreaded programs:
http://www.act-europe.fr/gvd"
And it also supports native and cross debuggers (VxWorks, LynxOS, JVM, ...), remote launching of debuggers, different languages, etc.
