Nothing has done more to promote the use of Nuclear energy, which can help reduce the dependence on oil and gas -- which is a real problem especially with the increasing consumption in China & Asia.

So much fun....just sent a message(calling card) with IrDA from mobile phone(6610) to logitech quickcam messenger. All it(the hack) took was 30 minutes and a small swiss pocketknife.

Hardest part was putting the Logitech QuickCam back together the right way -- because which ever way which part was was quickly forgotten in the process. I didn't have any film handy but the cam now shows security marks on 50 Euro bill quite nicely. The picture is more of black and whitish without the filter. It sees through things.
Now just good lighting. I have a bicycle led-light with individual lences for each led. One of these with proper leds might work nicely as home surveillance system.
But sure was and is fun....much thanks to the author.
About the training robots with simulation (www.trnmag.com/Stories/2004/051904/Ev olution_trai ns_robot_teams_051904.html) and evolution and then downloading it to the physical device article.
General people goal function: The selfish DNA-theory.
Humanics: Were just the simulation machine + the droid in one package.
*Simulation time = dreams(sleep), only time we need most of brains.
*Playing = a testing scheme in an unknown environment autonomously to create and evolve our "graphics"-card which takes most of our head. It has physics-engine built in etc. support.
*Every night it's like the robots without body in a simulation - we're cut off from the muscless and don't actually move. We're like the simulated robots "evolving" combinations of actions and outcomes and combining them according to our "selfish DNA" goal function. Next morning the offspring of the fittest ideas is downloaded to the physical apparatus=the body.
*As the day goes we collect new data for the next night simulation run. At morning the short term state of mind feels emptied.
Now suppose we changed the goal function of humans:
*Ways to do this for girls might be the "pill". Makes sex more usable in "selfish DNA" use as means to get the best father for her offspring.
*Sperm/Egg - plant children/Genetic engineering. Get the perceived best DNA and a "nurse"-character to raise them.
*Nordic Wellfare state. The society does most of the "nursing" to any level of education/status. Caring/kindness loses value. A more liberal free sexish scenario.
*Tough love state. The society might do some "nurcing" for a price(risk of losing life or limb). The value of Caring/kindness increases. But the jealosy of the carer also increases because of the commitment. A more "sex-moralistic" scenario.
Other random thougts: * They said the idea was to only look at results not how they were archieved and by using this instead of forcing to preconceived model of thinking the bigger neural nets became easier to train than the smaller ones coutrary to common experience. Isn't this like a good form of leadership. For "small neural nets" you give detailed instructions and tell what to think and do and for "smarter" (than the taskmaster) you just tell what needs to be done(=goal function)=research specialist management.
* The spark of life for lone brain cell: Random fire and observe. Use what brings most traffic from firing. Can't "simulate" this far enough - perhaps I should go "play" - and after that wait for "sleep".
Oh that free booze - just a advertising trick to get you to read this far.
You and your co-workers make your own company and sell the work to your current company.
If you all flee to form your own company then they'll be hard pressed to replace the entire knowledgebase of your team especially as I assume you and your team have documented things as usual in the business - everything's in your and your coworkers head and your boss dont know computer from a camel. -------- Erno

Maybe I'm not getting all this but wouldn't it work just so that all sellers would have to prove their identity in the first place(with credit card etc.). Same for all buyers. Then If the deal doesnt work out, either party is unhappy then they can give public discredit point to the other identity with some argument say:he didn't deliver.
So when you wanna buy something you just say I wanna buy from ppl that have less than x discredit points and have given less than y discredit points. To do justice to those who deal much then maybe it could include the number of sales(Maybe those sales should be public too to reveal fraud).
So those cheaters with as many discredit points as sales would find it difficult to sell. Best if it could be done without the sales being public too:).
