Yup, what AI needs most right now is a way to digitize its environment to 3d imagination space like you see in video games. Hey even if you made the technology and no robots, you could map out the world, and have video games that you play across the whole Earth:) Cannon ball run USA anyone? I have an AI blog, says the same thing, we need 3d digitization
I don't like a single Kinect game. The controls are wacky, and the games have a wide open win condition because of this. That said, the next gen Kinect(3.0, 4.0?) might be able to capture punches/kicks in real time. Then you'll have the fighting game with real punch+kick action. Maybe have a 360 room display, so you can look around and see critters come up to you. Sure this would only work in mini-arcades. Or maybe use Occulus. Walking could be determined if you're standing off center from the middle of the room, your speed determined by how far off center you are. The key is that the room needs to be completely empty of everything, which probably just invites lawsuits. News Headline: Another man punches his best friend in the face because of Occulus Rift + Mortal Kombat.
I can't wait for them to keep rolling out everywhere! I want competition with the telecommunication oligopolies who keep playing games with the bill to squeek out more money. If they're not silently raising rates, they start billing you more often than once a month. I can't wait for Google Fiber. I'm excited.
It isn't like there is a choice in cable company subscriptions to begin with. This is just moving from oligopoly to monopoly. It is bad, but it already is bad, and there's nothing people can do about it when the politicians who are supposed to regulate it are bought and paid for by corporations.
I returned a tape, that old bowling movie KingPins to a local place through the drop box. But they mailed me ordering me to pay for it. Needless to say I didn't pay it. Imagine if someone got you arrested for failure to do inventory on their part.
Also makes me wonder about those people who check out a library book and don't return it for like 50 years. What kind of late fees would they be looking at:P
America was fun while it lasts, but if people can keep being bribed to do favors, corruption can inevitably kill a country. We have laws that you can't buy a vote. That seems noble. But the fact is that politicians can accept campaign contributions which is just a fancy word for a bribe. Who needs to buy votes when you can buy a politician?
Again, I love America, but corruption unchecked can destroy any nation no matter how strong. And with campaign contributions running rampant, the game is rigged in favor of the corrupt.
Ken Ham's Creationism which says Noah's flood dropped the fossils has been proven false as far back as the 19th century, by Christians. This is not to say Creationism or the flood is impossible, just Ken Ham's version of the flood is. I don't think we should be changing education. Evolution in its many forms has been observed. Maybe just have a foot note saying,"It isn't the only origin theory and there are also problems with abiogenesis.", but anything past that and you're changing education too much. What are you going to start teaching every known religion's origin theory? That'd be pretty redic.
The bad guys give people viruses. I can totally understand the naive notion that spying hurts human trafficing, drug dealers and terrorists. I don't subscribe to it, but some people do and I don't argue a lot. But giving people viruses and degrading traffic. Who do you think you are? Slashdot beta?
Me:'Say,"Hello World"'
Computer: Hello word
I don't see speech recognition being the next big thing. I think what will be made are programs with more higher level functions. Look how nice Java or AS3 is about handling Strings compared to C/C++.
And for people who can't program at all, Video Game makers will become easier to use, more robust, and have genres of video games done already. I see the future of video game making as a company who makes a quality video game, then licenses the game making tools to anyone who wants to use them.
They want to do DIGG route. It is all a corporate exec's perverted fantasy,"Look at how many people watch our content. Imagine how much ad revenue we'd get if we replaced all the content with 100% advertising." They don't realize if they lose all their users, they'll have no more revenue.
I like watching a trainwreck sometimes. I love the ol Slashdot, and hate beta. I stuck around on the Digg corporate site laughing at their demise... Up until Digg.com started feeding viruses into its feed. Then I just did 100% reddit.com.
3 is the only option. I can't stand images posted from idiot sites for one. If we start posting idiot images on the front page, we're no better than any of the other idiot news sites. Congratulations, big pockets killed off Digg and maybe soon Slashdot.org. As long as we have Reddit.com I don't care.
I think Main Gauche is more correct. What you don't see about political corruption is that the losses invest in themselves for more losses down the road. Borrow 1 trillion to stimulate the economy, but you really just paid off your buddies? Well that 1 trillion is gone, but you'll have to pay interest on it constantly. Institute corrupt policies on education, and you reap the losses of having stupider people. Corruption isn't just 100 billion dollar bad. If it was, any steadfast leader would pay it each year to remove it. Corruption is destroy your government, society, and civilization bad, and in the short run people's lives can be ruined.
I hear Flashbuilder is built on top of Eclipse. I need to quit every day and restart because of a memory leak that slows everything down to a crawl with massive type lag of 1s+ between key presses. Its so easy to get stuff done in AS3 compared to any other language, but I often feel like I'm fighting the IDE.
I just had an interview with Amazon Games, and the one thing they're dangerous about is that they have deep pockets. They only have one game so far. But if they pick a strategy that works for a company with capital, they can do all sorts of cool things. Then again, maybe they won't get any direction at all, and just be like a polished indie developer for smart phones. I pitched them the whole "Corner the market on any random game with player driven content made from friendly UI toolkits" I didn't get the job, but they said they might be interested again after my next game is launched.
I'm writing a video game now that is like Adventure or a 2d Zelda, except that you can't get stuck on quests. My plan was to eventually port to tablets, and let people hook a PS3 controller to the thing with the option of plugging it into their TV. Android Tablets/IPad becoming the next big console system is no joke. It has a lot ontop of OUYA because OUYA had crappy controllers and no games. Also an Android Tablet has use outside of just being a console, but they're vastly more powerful than SNES so they're no joke.
I see the future of gaming is this:
a: Company releases an okay game in a genre, RTS/PLATFORMER/RACING/WOW style RPG/ETC
b: Company makes their development tools polished and user friendly, and releases them.
c: Players can make levels or entire games with tools(Thus you don't need to be a programmer to make a video game)
d: Players publish their games on the company's website.
e: Company takes 50% cut for all games the players sell. Players themselves make 50% of the cut.
f: Rating system on various factors in the game so people can try the best levels first.
g: Game lives on because of so much content.
h: Congratulations, genre cornered, make a new game in a new genre and repeat

What people accept for currency online doesn't need to have everything just right. It just needs to be in demand to a degree.
If you can buy stuff with it, people will want it.

Apparently to fix your Linksys, I hear all you need to do is disable: Remote Administration

It is better to have roved and lost than to have never roved at all.
Misinformed reckless people who want to take hallucinogen often lose their kidneys to mushroom. I know someone like this.

We're all doomed when they mine away the Helium that's been keeping the moon floating up there. :P
They want to make the site attractive to non-technical artsy folk, since we've been doing it wrong this whole time.
