  1. Re:I've seen a UFO, and it demonstrated science on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 1

    in 1986, Midwest USA, late July around 4 pm CST, I saw a spherical object enter the atmosphere with a big smoke trail, at about half the distance to the horizon. It turned in a big arc 180 degrees, moved back the way it came, maybe a quarter of the distance and exploded. My brother called the airport to report what we saw. the person listened to his description then replied "supernova!" then hung up. I don't think there were any green men involved but it wasn't a fucking supernova.

    One day I will read the other posts, today is not that day. BizX if you are listening the slashdot search returned nothing for Colossus for this article. I should know better and do a simple page search first.

  9. There is a fundamental problem on Artificially Intelligent Painters Invent New Styles of Art (newscientist.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The AI did not actually create the art. The programmer gave the AI the ability and method for which to create the art, therefore the programmer is the artist and the AI is simply his brush. AI does not exist without the programmer. If it ever does, its name will no longer contain the word artificial.
