It might be interesting to see what this algorithm would do with Mount Rushmore, The Statue of Liberty, or the Mona Lisa? Granted these things are already beautiful, I'm just interested in what the output would be.
Ahhh but don't you see? The de-censorship filter levels the playing field because all video is de-censorable. Thus providing a clear and level playing field for all the actors/actresses. And it helps to clean up that nasty underground market!
Well an de-censorship video filter for Japanese pr0n could be a viable commercial product. Thereby creating jobs, and consequently helping the economy. Well that's my spin and I'm stickin' with it!
Granted it's not exactly how most googleplexion-aires get started.
I really can't wait for all the US automakers to go bankrupt. When, OH WHEN, will they focus on the real problems with their cars and stop producing FUD and fluff?
Hello, wake up call, maybe you should Focus (pun intended) on Customer satisfaction, reliability, resale value, and gas mileage??? Why on earth do you think you are losing so badly to Toyota and Honda???
It kind of reminds me of that bit from âoeDemolition Manâ where Sandra Bullocks character tells Sylvester Stallone that he was invited out to a fancy dinner at Taco Bell. Because after the franchise wars all restaurants where now Taco Bell.
Wife: "Honey, did you get the Smiths a gift we can give them for the party?"
Husband: "Yeah, honey, I got them a nice expensive bottle of Boons Farm!"
Wife: "NNNNNIIIIIIIICE!"
So would this mean that the "cheap stuff" will soon all be "premium" priced? Setting aside all the comments about this being hogwash.
Well the articles site has been slashdotted. I'm unable to get the google cache to work. The ASUS website has no N10 information so I can't verify anything. But it doesn't look like this will have Splashtop http://splashtop.com/. Which would have made for a really cool (and very useful) netbook.
Ok the very fact that "Chief Dyer wants to get legislation passed that would make RateMyCop.com illegal" really just smacks of disconnection with the values of the founding fathers. Silencing free speach and efforts to release PUBLIC OFFICIALS from any responsibility for their actions equates to Racketeering and at best communism. The real problem is Chief Dyer, the very thought that silencing free speach is a good idea means this guy is completely disconnected from the values of the constitution and hints to me that he is the real root of the problem. I would think that a charge of treason could be argued.

Sweet for a change the United States government (probably) contributed zero to this complete and utter waste of resources.
I wonder if this is the first signs of M$'s eventual demise. The minimal end user now says "I don't need Vista because Splashtop does everything I need". Vista is a dismal disappointment from just about any angle you look at it. The company I work for isn't migrating to it anytime in the next two years and we are not small. Silverlight though nice, was too late to put a damper in AJAX. MS Virtualization software was just too late to dent VMWare. Just about every cool new gadget comes with embedded Linux and NOT embedded Windows CE. All the Multifunction printers that my company buys have embedded Linux not CE. Signs point that the Google phone will have embedded Linux. The iPhone certainly doesn't use CE. So is this the first signs that Micro$oft has grown too big to be competitive and will collapse under its own inertia?
If the universe is a simulation, is God the computer running the simulation or the beings that created the simulation? Or is God an element that was programed into the simulation. Or did he/she/it evolve as a necessity of the simulation?
And what happens if the simulation computer blue screens? Or could we make it blue screen by having a computer (in our simulation reality) calculate the value of SQRT(infinity).
Could we slow the universal simulation computer down by having a virtual machine create infinite sub virtual machines?
What happens if we create our own universal simulation computer?
So if the universe is a simulation, then I am a part of the simulation. Then "I think therefor I am" has no meaning because technically I am not (am I?). \
But then what would be the function of a platypus? To gain insight that there is no function to a platypus, and realize that the universe is a simulation? Or does the existence of the platypi prove the universe is not a simulation??

Is it just me or does this actually make sense to someone? What is to stop someone from watching the live broadcast (because they already have the sports pack from joe-blo-cable company) and blogging about it live from the comforts of their own home? No laptop or press pass required! It's the internet man, nobody knows you aren't at the game physically. What is the NCAA gonna do about that?

Oh c'mon. The previous post got modded as interesting but this one didn't? Are you serious?

kudos in the style of a Guinness commercial - "Brilliant!"
kudos in the style of ZeroPunctuation - "Stonking Great!"
Wouldn't it be cool if you could use this technique to clear up the fuzzies on censored Japanese pr0n?!
I wonder if this technique is anything similar to how some of the recent captchas have been recently cracked?

It's only a matter of time before the Micro$oft FUD machine muscles a retraction on this issue. I say we start a pool to pick the day!

Assuming there is a God.
If the universe is a simulation, is God the computer running the simulation or the beings that created the simulation? Or is God an element that was programed into the simulation. Or did he/she/it evolve as a necessity of the simulation?
