Wait. Americans start the first foreign language in 7th grade? Thats ridiculous. I think 10y should be the latest point to start, after that language is more or less hardwired.
Yeah, well. As an interested bystander (a physicist), to me it also seems AI ran into several dead ends because of setting the aims too high. I remember for as long as i can read people predicted that machines which would replace human translators to be around the corner.
IHMO the fundamental mistake is to define something like intelligence on one hand to be very specific, and then hope to reach it by general methods, but taking a few shortcuts, which are not even known yet...
The general rule of thumb which the physicists learned the hard way is that assuming something general and hoping that the shortcuts you need to take to get a result magically fall out once you randomly scatter enough phd students at a subject, is futile. Literally all abstract theories were created the other way round, as a systematically, gradually developed answer to many, many specific problems.
A more practical note about this system is the following: why an ARM processor? to me it seems more efficient to use the block memory in FPGAs and local logic using minimalistic state engines should suffice to simulate this. also the BW should be higher in that case.
Some politicians try to improve their ratings among their voters by shouting around a little bit.
The suggestions are mostly laughed at, and even their political friends usually are not impressed.
A law against a more or less spontaneous party of many persons with "nobody" in charge (or somebody who unintentionally invited the people) will be difficult to forbid.
For anything else (commercial events, political demonstrations etc.) there are rules already.
Germans are allowed to assemble in public (paragraph 22 of the German constitution), but for an *organized meeting* the organizer must ask for a permission *for a specific place* first (if you don't get the permission, you can sue for it to check whether the right to assemble was violated).
It would be problematic if they say: If you stop delivering components from all you factories to anybody else but us then we will build the factory. Or: We buy
But to say: we invest money in a factory to use its output in our production, this is not evil.
Google Circles could be the one thing which actually really works in the good way and bad way much beyond what facebook could ever do. Its scary. Combine it with your places profile, circle of friends and google searches..... Dont forget who makes android. Ich all applications on the mobile phones have integration with circles then facebook and some other may have trouble.
Its just another: "We build the factory, you operate it" agreement. Things like this exist in Mining, Oil refining, basically all kinds of manufacturing processes where some big company decides they need more resources of a certain type and sees the possibility to use some of their cash to invest in something where they know it will make revenue.
I hope for Apple that they don't exaggerate it to the level that the ties created by this investment will hinder their design. If some competitor produces something better, switching has an added cost.
Well. Pay your critical developers/administrators a premium, dont be a PITA if they need some holiday or some flexible worktime for their family trough the rest of the year, compensate them in a generous way for over hours, agree on a person beforehand (and compensate appropriatly) who is in standby or has his laptop with him/her, who has the knowledge and authority to rollback the app version, and you will be fine.
Oh... and: dont roll out new versions just before a holiday. A good time to roll out new versions/chance something is one day before the end of the holiday.
No. The patent office has no obligation to search for prior art. Its the obligation of the person/institution which is granted the patent to do this research and provide the well known published material of the field to the patent office for review, even if terms were changed or it is a specialization of prior art. If you apply (and pay the legal fees and the lawyers) for a patent, where somebody extremely competent in a field can point to a prior publication describing exactly that, then its really your problem if the patent does not hold up in court.
There is no way the patent office can have an expert for *everything* - when new things are invented, then very often for a few years there is only a dozen of people on the planet who understand the subject and the relations to other fields.
I think what should be done is that patents have a "review time" in which the public can comment on them before being finally granted. Then these things would be very easy.
Google does and can not force honeycomb actively onto the devices. Right now the majority of devices is not Honeycomb. So i would not program for Honeycomb. I am not even sure i would test on Honeycomb. The facilities which pre-Honeycomb Android offers are quite enough for nearly all application i can imagine.
And if we talk about "tablet-specific" well there are application which make use of the older tablets.
Yes. thats exactly right. Restrict the tools to the ones which work. Always have your presentations as pdf or/and bitmaps with you, if its not you own laptop. Also have them with you if you have them on you own laptop, in case it fails.
Yes. and if you actually live in a rural area then this is perfect for stalking. Call your ex-girlfriend and look where the pin drops. In a rural area you then know where she is.
I always wonder about the people who hate something, and despite quite some competition, continue to use it. Do your friends really stop talking to you if you leave facebook? Then look for other friends.
I researched the web using google chrome with the annoying content filter on and i could not find any software patents of third parties regarding my product. Also the TOS fields in the web were always empty.
The point is simple: CERN has so much experience in building networks that maintaining this that setting up a complicated, specific configuration is not a problem.
(Now dont tell me that the install of the distro helped you in setting up the distributed nfs)
"Start off with the man page and or help function, then go to the project website, if nothing there check some forums for the bleeding edge software, for mature software the man page, or a quick Google search will get you the answer you need"
I define mature software by "man page documents it". google searches are not allowed.
What i find with linux that the amount of non-mature SW in many distributions, which is included, is quite large IMHO.
the NWManager in Ubuntu is one of the worst examples, but there are others.
Its simple: No side could afford to loose. the Hacker because he would be bankrupt and sony because that would render a part of their business model worthless.
Yes. He and Sony *settled*. That means that sony found it better for their image to put this ad acta, and saw no big change of winning. Otherwise they would have sued him to the end. Agreeing to a settlement does not make you criminal. Agreeing to a settlement does not even mean that you broke a contract.
Agreeing to a settlement just means that you and the other side agree that there has been a different in the interpretation of a contract, but that its of for both sides not to insist in the original interpretation any further under specific circumstances.

but Microsoft and China in one discussion triggers all reflexes to recklessly troll around....

It seems to me you and your girlfriend need advice.

that one of the areas where if found chrome most useful is to read local (offline) documents. Starts faster than anything else for this purpose.
But they could attack other android phone manufacturers. The market is getting crowded, i think.
That seems to be an extremely labor intensive task. Every packet is obviously checked manually.
If i look at some titles reviews, i am sure they are advertisements.
