I agree, Poker is all about reading the other player. It's a game you play against other people, unlike blackjack or some other card games where you are playing against the house. Playing against an AI would be like playing against yourself, you don't gain any real experience from it, the human interaction is what makes the game so exciting.
If this was done by NASA, why isn't the report on a NASA web server? (as opposed to some guy's personal homepage) kinda limits the creditability of this whole thing...
coult it be possible that the unit will include these features, they will just be "locked away" some where? all that you'd need is a small hack? like those APEX DVD players back in the day when you could make them region free.
this website takes a simple phrase, and runs it through bable fish a few times, back and fourth from english to another language and back, the end product... something totlaly lost in translation...

Bableized: How much wood would know a cramp of marmot of America, if marmot of the wood of America that could play
Even If they hit the "sleep" button while waving their hands over the hole of the cube, it doesn't explain why it would turn back on by itself, usually sleep shuts it off until the button is hit again to turn it back on. If sleep just turns off the comptuer and starts it back up again within seconds, that is the most pointless feature i've ever seen.
Main reason you never hear of MACs getting hacked. Not because they're secure, becuase those script kiddie basement h4x0rs don't care enough to, plus there aren't enough sites running on Mac Servers to care either. Notice carefully at netcraft, Apple runs Apache on a Mac OSX Server... that's not a mac server, that's apache which can be run on a PC. Apple also uses Solaris and Netscape Enterprise Server, not Apple at all. Atleast Microsoft believes in their own product enough to use mostly IIS (minus Hotmail). i've drifted. But essentially 99% of the world is running on Unix/BSD/NT(2k) servers 1% may be using Mac (there might just be a reason for that), there for, people who are doing the hacking won't bother with the 1%. It's like if you are gonna set out to learn your first programming language, do you learn the most common one? or one that is nearly unheard of?
Apple has more articles posted than any other computer manufacturer because it is the ONLY current maufacturer of Apple Macintosh systems and the operating system, if Dell were the ONLY PC Manufacturer, i'm sure we'd see just as many posts about Dell. But since there are so many different PC Manufacturers, it's impossible to have that many posts on every single PC manufacturer. If you want to get into it, i'm sure that all the *nix/BSD/MicrosoftWindows/Blah posts plus the different Hardware posts on nVidia and Intel and AMD and what not could count as PCs as a whole, and will amount to more than Apple.
No one said Apple was irrelevant, you came to that conclusion yourself (insecure?). I myself just like to see how steve jobs makes all of his customers buy all new hardware and software each time they come out with a major upgrade (classicMac -> iMac - all new HW is needed or expensive adapters. MacOS9 -> MacOSX - you have to slowly boot OS9 in the background to run any classic apps)
I use IIS on Win2k and Apache on SunOS 5.6 and write in PHP accessing a MySQL database. As far as I can tell, PHP doesn't have any problems moving back and fourth between the two. someone mentioned phpbuilder, good site to look at, PHP.net has very good online docs too. other sites to keep in mind: zend.com and hotscripts.com there are good ASP -> PHP tools out there. good luck convinceing them to move to PHP, i know lots of ASP people who won't touch PHP.
Well, atleast Microsoft is still using their own OS (however much of it is their own), on the other hand you have Apple, which just copping out and switching entirely to FreeBSD instead of updating their own OS, pretty much admiting that MacOS sucks.

I thought that the new Sony Clie's had Collapsible digital graffiti areas. Is that the same QVGA?
Imagine a beowolf cluster of these...
I found the first donor/receiver pair! Sean Archer and Castor Troy! Sean happens to be a FBI Agent and Castor is a Criminal Genious...
That was quick...
Go Nekkid!

beowulf cluster legs powered by chainsaw motors, damn, is that the key to high powered computing?
