you mean like this? we could technically extract enough brain cells and culture them well enough to get them to interconnect on the 100 billion neuron scale. then we would have a real human brain of sorts with out al the hormonal control systems. so basically we would just need to replicate the cerebrum, not the brain stem and other control centers that have nothing to do with actual thought.
great, this will be another political football as the far left win tried to fight for voting rights for machines that have a bio brain they will fight for pay for them and other workers rights, and then they will fight for their right to get married, etc.
oh boy.
on the other side, we are now a few steps away from transplanting a brain into a machine:-)
I mean, the fabrics we know can be torn because the atoms are clumped into partitions that we shove together, but this fabric is one layer of chemically bonded carbon atoms. that is some tough stuff.
I have a 400 MHz G4 Powermac with 512 MBs of RAM and a GeFroce 3 Ti in it (the GFX card was flashed). OS X works fine, though I will be upgrading to 1 GHz sonnet G4 CPU and a Dual layer DVD burner so that I can start using iDVD.
wow!!! and while your programs pop up fast giving you system the appearance of speed, your programs that you are actually USING are swapping data in and out. that is really nice. how stupid of me.
with the prices of Graphics cards on Macs, upgrades are non existent.
and on a laptop, upgrading the hard drive, or optical drive voids the warranty. you can upgrade both on a new iMac with out doing so, same will go for the Processor when the 3rd party makers start selling G5 upgrades (when the G5s are made in sufficient quantities for IBM to sell to 3rd parties)
GAH...and AE built in!!! well, I bought my iBook 2 moths before the 1 GHz model was released, I was not mad then, can't get made now since it is almost a year since I bought my machine.
for communities with lots of old trees or lots of bad weather, cable is the only real service option to choose from, unless you enjoy service outages 5 times or more a quarter. it is the stupid Ka band. it happens to resonate well with water and reflect easily off of foliage. add that to the fact that you have a smaller collection area and things that should not cause a problem end up causing a hue problem.
search algorithms are a good example of a purely mathematical construct. under software patents, you can patent a search algorithm, even though that algorithm is a discovery, not an innovation.
should all software be off limits to patents? no. just like all uses of mathematics is not off limits (you can still patent things created using mathematics) for that reason, an AI system or an e-commerce system can be patented, but things like Error Correction Codes, Search Algorithms, and other basic algorithms can not and should not be patentable, only the systems that are created using those algorithms.
algorithms are mathematical constructs. mathematics are discovered which means that algorithms are discovered as well, unless you want to suggest that mathematics should be patentable as an invention.
the iPod interface is not Hype, and from past experience, I am sure most people who make these generalizations know that the interface of most of these players sucks.
are you overly sensitive because you practiced for months to become proficient with your Karma interface when your buddy with the iPod was mastering it in a week?

ahem... I mean, I welcome our rat brain overlords.
hmm. perhaps because this tech can be scaled quite quickly and the days of AI using silicon will be gone.
frankly I welcome our rate brain over lords.

did you have to open the case? if so, it voids it.

sorry I interchange the terms often when I talk about putting in new devices to my computers.

services are not what is hogging memory, it is the fact that OS X memory management focuses on minimizing swapping.
umm, yes. windows has this thing with trying NOT to use memory..how does that benefit anything? unused memory is just unused.
OS X and many Unix type OSs USE memory as much as possible to minimize swapping.
umm. upi can open up a G5 iMac and add stuff to it very easily.
umm, yeah, it is actually.
your nuts. you can build a machine with the same footprint as iMac for 500 bucks and a 17 inch wide screen flat panel?

algorithms are discoveries, not inventions.
how do you know what it runs on an iPod? you have a hack for the firmware?
the iPod interface is not Hype, and from past experience, I am sure most people who make these generalizations know that the interface of most of these players sucks.
good thing I disinfect my ITMS music. wow, that was really hard. try doing that with an encrypted WMA file.
yeah, I can tell you are a windows dork because you think that unutilized memory is a good thing.
are you overly sensitive because you practiced for months to become proficient with your Karma interface when your buddy with the iPod was mastering it in a week?
Vorbis has added an integer only decoder to Ogg.
