Remember HAL9000? There's something scary to me about fully functional AI.
i second that, and add that it is pretty exciting also
proibily the most scary thing about AI is that if we can't raise our kids to not to try to blow up school, how do we expect to raise a computer to not to blow up the planet.
Issac Azimov's three laws of robotics is (IMHO) the best way to keep the "Matrix" in the area of fiction
every where i've seen there have been jabs at the people in charge, it's mainly a way of shifting blame
obviously the strength/crulity of the jab depends on how good/bad your mayor/comminsinor/congressmen is. my father held office at one point and he was pretty good at it (read: most people liked him).
but there are some pretty moronic people elected into office.
most people hide their lunitics, in the south, we elect them
i know i didn't have the worst high school experances, but even if it was average it still desearved the name hell school i had a lot of good teachers, and if it was left to them, it would have been a great place to learn, but (there is always a but) our prinsipal was a glorified PR man, his main consern was keeping the parents happy, which meant of cource to keep a strangle hold on the student body (banning weapons: good; banning big johnson t-shirts: just stupid)
from what i remember of high school, we had three choices, fit-in, withdraw, of explode i didn't fit in, so i withdrew into books. Izzac Azimov proibibly kept me sane (i know i'm streching the term) if i hadn't found an outlet like that i probibly would have ripped someone's head off before i escaped (escape is the most approprate word)
i accually started getting teased and jeared way before high school, and by the time i got to high school i had built up a rather sturdy wall and discovered that if you laugh at the jears, that your assalents would get board and leave you alone. (it's no fun if no one is hurt)
proibibly the best thing that happened to me in those years is when my best friend beat me up. it was getting roudy in the locker room, everybody was picking on everybody else, it was getting to me, and i blew up at the most convent person, my friend (sounds crule, but keep in mind that he was build like a dwarf, shorter than me and about twice my weight, and on top of all that a vell versed A-hole) i hit him, he hit me, but better (only black eye i got). for a little while after that i got swoned over by the girls in the class for standing up for my-self.
all in all high school was a rather supid experance
thats a good question, will the fact that it will be transparent help people from nearsighted so much (since they will be able to switch focus rapidly), or will the fact that the information will be mounted a few centimeters away just be too much
they better be careful how they package it because there is a lawsuit waiting to happen in there
well, you could use the eat pump idea keep the cpu really cold (to refrigerate the beer) and pump the heat somewhere else (to fry eggs, heat the house, start fusion reactions)
you know, keep the hot side hot, and the cold side cold ;)
assuming God created all life on earth, he did not waste any space. everywhere life could exist on earth their is some plant, animal, bactium, or something
now taking earth as the basis for the whole universe, why wouldn't God pack life every where else also
if he gave us dinosaur bones to dig up and ogle at, why not some intelagent life to play with also
oaky their is no life in that solar system, but let's do some proibilties
guessing from our system 1 in 9 planets has life, then taking the assumption that their is a three planet system every 44 light years. their are billions of light years of space to fill so
(3 * a lot) / 9 =still a lot
even if there is a fraction of a fraction of those livible planets supports intelligent life, that's a decent number of species to find
i hope we find intellegent life in space, because we sure haven't found any on earth
true we have a limited supply of deuterium, only the amount we can filter out of the oceans. with 2/3 of the suface of the earth covered in it, we might be able to get a little.
BUT, i don't know about you but i don't have a surplus of anti-matter in my backyard. neither dilitium crystals, i like star trek as much as the next guy, but come back to reality
Slashdot Mirror
three problems
a) the robeast would have to be approxamatly 1 cm large
b) these are robotic boxes, not robotic cats
c) where the heck are you going to find a sword that size

if it is transparent, then it shouldn't be as bad, since your eye will still get the stimulas that your moving
thats a good question, will the fact that it will be transparent help people from nearsighted so much (since they will be able to switch focus rapidly), or will the fact that the information will be mounted a few centimeters away just be too much

these things just came out, give it a year or two, the price should drop like a rock
me, i still want one now though
damn there cool

i dissagree, skynet would be prefible to Furby/Mindstorm. At least skynet just tryed to kill the human race, not liquify their brains
and people thought that the regular furbys looked like gremlins, i'm sure they will get a kick out of a little green rinkled version
yipe, i'm still twitching
i wasn't accually dimmising the possibility of life in the rest of our solar system,
in fact it would help to prove my point
my intention was just show that it is very likely that there is other life in the universe
intellegent or otherwise
the middle planet ranges roughly form the distance of venus to the distance of earth
so if the star is g type like our own it is with-in the livible region, it would have one heck of a season change though
the discovery of anything is likely to create a large number of wacko cults
that's why they are wacko
waco + k = wacko
assuming God created all life on earth, he did not waste any space. everywhere life could exist on earth their is some plant, animal, bactium, or something

anyway, i don't want to be an only child

what makes you think you can have a empire
don't you know that the whole universe is about to be bought by Microsquish
i know which one i would pick
if we have "The Moon" and other planets have "moons"
then wouldn't we have "The Solar System" while the others would have "solar systems"
sematics is sematics is something else
