PSP Launch Coverage

My iPaq does this. Why someone who has the spare money to afford a PSP would blow it on a PSP when they can get an iPaq is beyond me. There are quite a few fun games for the PocketPC, you can get one that has VGA resolution, wi-fi, etc. Does more than just play games and listen to music- check your e-mail, surf the web (how are you going to type/enter URLs on your PSP?) sync w/qucken or money so you don't have to keep a check register, doodle w/Pocket Artist, etc, etc...
PSP is a toy for kids. Note the lack of any significant writeable storage. It's just another media consumption device that you can't do anything creative with.
I'm no AI expert, but it seems unlikely to me that one can make an AI that can "understand" the message without making a full-blown Touring-test-passing AI, and if you had such a thing there are certainly better things it could be applied to than filtering spam.
What I mean when I say it's like bayesian filtering is that you could add another meta level to the filter that compares strings of words, or something similar.
In a way, it seems to me that Bayesian filtering is a form of AI, simply because it "learns" and has emergent behaviors that can't entirely be predicted. Does it being a simple algorithm make it not "real AI"? Perhaps it's just not real "smart" AI... I dunno...
Google's usually pretty good about making their pages compatible with handheld devices, but this one just plain sucks on my ipaq. guess i'll stick with project gutenberg.
are the problem. most of the time the kids know more about the computer than the teachers do. and the teachers don't have any idea how to use the computer to teach. perhaps now that so many programmers are out of work some of them will end up teaching and will make some decent educational software. (not holding my breath)
the brain can determine depth with only one eye without just "deductive methods" as you say, by which I'm assuming you mean comparing an object's size relative to those around it and preconcieved notions of how big it is. The eye has a very narrow depth of field for close-to-intermediate range objects, and can therefore determine by the focal length how far away something is.
There can be no waiver of "you may or may not recieve medication" because if introduced it would place everyone in the group "Uncertain."
You can have people in the "Certain and correct" category all you want and still be ethical. That leaves only the last two on your list.
You could probably take care of the "Certain of recieving drug and not recieving drug" group by giving them only an insignificant quantity of the drug mixed with the placebo. Maybe that would be unethical though. And maybe that would constitute a "homeopathic" remedy anyway, and not be the same thing as really giving them a placebo...
can a spider-type robot be tall enough to reach overhead cabinets and high shelves, small enough to fit through a doorway and share a room with humans, fast enough to keep up with a normal walking human, and still be agile enough to scale stairs and navigate a room full of junk on the floor?
and is vacuuming all you can think of for a robot to do? i want mine to do my laundry, do the dishes, go shopping for me, cook, and clean the rest of my house. everything one used to keep a woman for (aside from sex, although i'm sure some/.ers would be okay with robot sex, too...)
because what they want to move toward are all-purpose robots capable of serving in a variety of environments shared with humans. most of these environments are currently designed for humans. obviously the best form factor for maneuvering such an environment and manipulating objects designed for humans would be that of a human.
even if you don't convert it there is far more that can be done to regulate and reduce emissions and maximize efficiency in several giant, immobile power plants than trying to regulate emissions and maximize efficiency in millions of cars all over the country.
I noticed a variation in phone culture in the US. It's sort of a difference in the "handshaking" part at the beginning of the call. It happened when I started dating this girl from Wisconsin. Apparently they have a different protocol up there.
Here's standard protocol in Texas (she says it's anywhere in the south):
It's that last reply that she would always leave out. It doesn't happen anymore now that I pointed it out to her, but I'd call and say "Hey, it's me" and then there'd be this weird silence while I waited for her to acknowledge before I began the conversation, and she'd just be waiting for the conversation to start. Strange, huh?
It doesn't allow the songwriter to disallow the song from being used in ways that they would find offensive to their work, (such as in an album with Achy Breaky Heart and the McCartney/Wonder rendition of Ebony and Ivory)
Why would anyone have a problem being coupled with the genius that is Billy Ray Cyrus? Harumph! [*flips mullet*]
Rus-
Didn't I tell you to wash your hands? Now be a good boy and go wash up before you come upstairs. Dinner will be ready in a minute!
Love,

And some of us are lucky enough to have PDA phones.
Get a clue, dude- what do you do with them? everything! I read my e-mail on the bus, listen to MP3's, surf the web, check my e-mail, synch with MS Money so that I don't have to keep a check register, play tetris... the better question is why isn't there a larger market for PDA's?
what if I want to view/. light when I'm on the road, but want the normal version when I'm at home, but don't want to have to change my prefs constantly? shouldn't that be storable in the cookie or something?
You read in a public bulletin board detailed instructions for robbing a bank by typing in an unpublished keycode into an ATM machine and you get arrested??? No F'n WAY!!!!
bad analogy- more like:
You read in a public bulletin board detailed instructions for viewing your loan acceptance info a month early at bank by typing an unpublished keycode into an ATM after putting in your card and your PIN.
Does that qualify as hacking into a bank, punishable by the strictest punishments that "hacking into a bank" implies? I think not...
I've got NetFront 3 on my h6315, and it works fairly well. It definitely does a better (albeit still quite imperfect) job at rendering pages for easy hand-readability than Pocket IE. As anyone with a Pocket PC knows, the worst thing in the world is a page that renders in such a way that requires you to scroll left and right and back again over and over to read a column of text. It doesn't look like MiniMo does anything to address that (yet, anyway).
Anyone here had the misery of trying to read/. on Pocket IE?/. seriously needs to get with the program and create alternate layouts for this stuff. Google's smart enough to detect that you're using a handheld and arrange itself accordingly, why shouldn't/.? Has anyone else noticed that GMail has a non-DHTML version now that works with old/non-standard browsers such as Pocket IE? Of course, I just use the POP mail, but it's nice anyway.
Other features of Netfront are some Javascript capability, and tabs, fullscreen browsing, and scroll mode (where your stylus moves the page, which helps a lot with the ones that don't render well). MiniMo will need all of these features before I consider switching.
i miss the wheel on the original iPod. the tactile clicking feedback as you scroll through the menus was really superior to no tactile feedback at all. that and the touch thing is lame if you want to put it in your pocket. bring back the real "click" wheel ipod!
I love it, but it does seem a little bloated. Right now I've got Firefox open in Win 2K with 6 tabs going- amazon.com, slashdot, pitchforkmedia, gmail, allmusic, and cnn.com. The only plugins I've got are adblock and a couple other small interface tweaks (Super DragAndGo, D/L mgr tweak, etc) I'm not doing anything except typing in this form, yet Firefox is using 104,392K and 20-30% of the CPU (PIII 850) at any given time per the task manager.
Is there any good reason for this? I've had this window and these tabs open for a couple days now- is there some kind of overrun that causes this? Maybe this is normal, but it sure seems like a lot to me...

Isn't that essentially what Bayesian filtering is?
