  1. Re:Not really a success for the AI on Machine-Learning AI Now Beats Humans At Super Smash Bros. Melee (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember when "AI" was defined as, "indistinguishable from human."

    AI has never been defined as that, at least not by people working in the field.

    Alan Turing would disagree.

    "Since Turing first introduced his test, it has proven to be both highly influential and widely criticised, and it has become an important concept in the philosophy of artificial intelligence." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    "Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. Hybrid on Review of Dell Inspiron Tablet/Laptop Hybrid · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a hybrid. When the battery runs down, its gas engine kicks in.

  3. Paywall on Times Paywall In Questionable 'Success' · · Score: 1

    I can't independently verify its success, it's hidden by a paywall.

  4. It's more of a rebranding on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

    He means the porn land formerly known as the Internet.

    Sue 'em for discrimination.

  6. Re:I already had my revenge 10 years ago. on Revenge of the Cable Customer · · Score: 1

    It's called replacing cable, satellite and everything else with just the cable internet.

  7. Re:This actually has a really good side effect on German User Fined For Having an Open Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Let's say you never use your own connection, but always use your neighbor's connection. Then, you never have to worry about a large fine from infringement, because the owner of the line wasn't the one who did it.

    In the article, you get fined up to $126.

    Slight clarification: You knowingly use each other's internet connection, and never your own. This way you're both still paying, and not really "stealing".

  10. Re:PassGorithm - One Algorithm, infinite passwords on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    What about when it has to be changed every 90 days? Or when they expire on different intervals? You'll end up with lots of passwords again.

  11. Re:Okay... on EC Formally Objects To Oracle's Purchase of Sun · · Score: 1
  12. Pay for usage creates theft on Time Warner Cable Tries Metering Internet Use · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If people pay for usage, then leaching off your neighbor becomes theft. I think that is part of their goal. Getting extra money for bandwidth is just icing on the cake.

  13. Will Intelligent Design on Weird Science Offered As University Class · · Score: 1

    Be covered this semester, or next?

  14. What was that?! on The Fastest Processor You Can't Run · · Score: 2, Funny

  15. Re:We all saw it coming. on Record Company Collusion a Defense to RIAA Case? · · Score: 1

    Should not an effort be made to pursue those artists to see how they feel about their music being used to terrorise children and bankrupt their parents,

    So you're telling me, if I get sued, I can have the artist whose music I was sharing called to the stand? I've always wanted to meet Jerry Garcia. Kazaa, here I come!!!

  16. Re:Virtual machine on Pirate Banned From Using Linux · · Score: 1

    His biggest complaint is that he would have to actually buy the Windows OS in order to use the internet again, and subsequently VMWare. I doubt he'll be downloading XP illegally anytime soon. Insult to injury, really....being forced to pay for something you never supported to begin with.

  17. Re:Unfortunately on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 1

    Tyler Durden made his own soap, too. Do you sell it to department stores?

  21. Re:Nice try, but... on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 1

    Apparently no one keeps up on current events. In a number of subjects, boys are actively falling behind girls in all areas of study at the high school level. The original tests that were given to both boys and girls in the 80's and 90's were reissued, showing that now, boys are falling behind. Feminists keep the idea that the girls are behind to continue their funding, and anyone that says anything counter to that is sexist.

    Maybe we need innovation for the boys now?
