Yes.. But what I'm trying to say is that just because pi is infinitely long doesn't mean it has every possible combination of digits. I didn't say anything about compression.
Just because it is infintely long doesn't mean any possible combinations of digits is in there... Maybe there's some proof that that's the case for pi, but if you have 0.1101001000100001...etc., you aren't going to find 238437466445 in it. Even if you converted from binary you'd never find the DeCSS source in there.. you'd have to invent your own number/letter conversion format and that would defeat the whole purpose.
I can write a pretty darn good bug free Hello World program. Bug freeness is possible, it's just too complicated an idea for some nitwits to understand.
That was the ultimate Bad Idea. The telephone sanitizers, middlemen, etc. do not die in the vacuum of space. By some extraordinary chance, they crash into Earth and become the basis of it's [un]intelligent life.
The other problem is that there aren't any good reasons for 3D on the web other than being a cool gimmick to play with. A 3D display of information would obscure pieces of it and require rotation or moving around in some sort of arbitrary fashion to find it. For almost all forms of information, a 2D chart or table will be clearer. In instances when you want to display, say a 3D model or graph and allow the user to rotate it, there are Java applets and such that work pretty well and don't require the installation of plugins.. If more detail is needed than a Java applet can provide, you can make a file available to download so that the viewer can view it in the 3D program of his choice. Mainstream VRML only means that we'll be waiting longer when we get to some page made by some dumbass web designer that thought 3D would make the site better. It won't.
You're probably right. I was going from what I heard in an AI course a year or so back, and it could be that there were many pictures taken, but the pictures were taken in batches, with the tank pictures taken in different light/exposure conditions than the pictures without tanks.
We've seen things like this before. One of the major problem with neural nets is their tendancy to specialize.. Building a system to recognize one word doesn't remotely compare to a system that can tell one from fun and done while also having the capacity to tell Bob from Rob from Cobb. The experiments posted on the site only show that the system can differentiate between 1 and the other numbers 2-9 and from various nonverbal tones. A neural net will very likely lock on to the specific differences between the sounds of these numbers. Example: A while back someone was creating a neural net to identify tanks on the ground in satellite photos. Two samples were used and the net learned to successfully differentiate them. When other samples were tried, however, the system was completely wrong. Eventually it was determined that the photo with tanks was brighter than the photo without, and that was what the system used to differentiate the photos.
This would be really cool if I could use the sender/receiver thingy to send a multi-channel signal, rather than plain old video. That way I could share a cable connection and be able to watch something different than what is on the TV hooked up to the real cable connection. The link isn't clear about whether it can do this.
Highly educated foreign scientists very rarely have trouble getting jobs in the US because it is easy to make the argument that the position is one that only can fill.
It's very simple. 75% (A rough guess) of the people in this country are too ignorant to even think that a third party candidate is an option. Therefore, no matter how you vote, the stupid people are voting for Bush/Gore. So if you're a liberal, and are thinking about voting for Nader...vote for Gore since at this point Nader has no chance. There is no way he'll be able to convince the drones that he exists before election time. So go with the best you can get.
Cooling the metal will cause it to contract. Since it is impossible to cool the metal entirely uniformly, the result would be distorted as cooling metal will change the position of the metal that has already cooled.
Out of the first 18 posts to this article, 5 had comments that were posted with serious intent. One was a first post, one was a random troll, and 4 were about using this to manipulate people's small dicks. The rest were stupid jokes.

Somewhere in the prefs you can shut off the damn voices, or set voices to only occur on activation and or commands, and say if you want the voices all the time or 20% of the time.
The law wasn't designed to be abused by people intending to break the law. It's damn stupid that people can use laws as an excuse.. Prostitution is illegal in most of the US.. How come "Escort Services" are still advertised? If they were legitimate, they wouldn't be advertised in the "Adult" section of most newspapers. They're hiding behind loopholes in the law, just as Napster pretends it's a legitimate "sharing service"... Gimme a break..
By the way, the reason intelligent liberals want gun control isn't to ban guns. It's to help keep guns out of the hands of children and people too damn stupid to use them.
The lack of common sense out of people these days is amazing. Any damn idiot knows that Napster is for getting music so you don't have to pay for the CDs. Don't try making it seem like Napster knows nothing about this and intended it only sharing legal files. That's plain bullshit. You're right, you can't blame the internet as much as you can blame a highway for car accidents. But Napster is knowingly providing a facility for people to blatantly break the law. Other sites on the internet distribute warez, child porn, mp3s, what have you, and you know what happens to them... they get shut down. Napster may use a distibuted protocol, but it is still one, single, controlled service, and is as liable as an ISP is if the knowingly let people serve warez off their service. Come on guys, if you want stolen music, find something that can't be taken down by a lawsuit. Napster was a bad idea to start with, so give it up.
I run my Athlon 750 on a 235W power supply with a GeForce, two hard drives, and two CD drives and never have had any power problems. The chip itself stays pretty cool too.
I did that with my Mediaone service. It's a bad idea, and it makes the cable guys very mad. It'll also start working funky when cable assigns the IP you've set statically is assigned to someone else when your computer is shut off. They switch IPs around every once in a while, and you will get caught, especially when people start getting messages like: Could not activate ethernet interface because the device at 65:4C:12:FF:4E:A1 is using the IP address . Since your cable modem is installed locked to one MAX address, cable will be able to figure out fairly quickly who you are.
I've noticed a downward turn in calculator interfaces lately. My TI-85 was great, but when TI put out the 89, they decided to replace it with the slow, klunky menu interface from the 92. Sometimes, making a calculator work more like a computer isn't the best thing to do. Why should I need to [F1] [8] [Clear] to clear the home screen and entry line when I used to be able to do it in one button press, and when I did that, the screen cleared faster.

You're completely right. Java sucks.. it's slow, buggy, and inadequate, but no VRML program/plugin I've ever seen has been great either.

20 x 10^6 ... Go engineering notation..
Haven't seen that one in a while.. Interesting ;)

It would be fun to make an email trojan or virus that made people's 3D printers make models of interesting body parts.

Sure there is.. O(N^N) or O(N^^N).. That ^^ should be read as two up arrows meaning N^N^N^N...N times.
