no esound output... unfortunately the sound card in my laptop is the suck, and i need to run esound to let apps share the soundcard. no workie with RP10.
actually, "One two oh my god" is a line from the song "Get It Together", off Ill Communication. which came out way before the latest beastie album, as did the 2 programs in question.
They don't just all look the same, all of the new DAAP clients written in java that I know of (except for iLeech) are just forks of the original One2OhMyGod. I don't have time to work on One2OhMyGod anymore, so I'm fine with the forks, but I think maybe the 4+ groups of people might be better off communicating a bit more. The Get It Together interface looks really nice. The other ones i've looked at have added incremental changes to my original (really crappy) UI. They should use the wiki http://www.deleet.de/projekte/daap/ (or some other forum) to bounce ideas off each other and really get a nice UI going.
they don't need to distribute their source code. They only need to distribute their source code to comply with the terms of the license. They can always choose the alternative, which is to be held liable for copyright infringement.
addresses in japan go something like this:
Prefecture
City
District
Neighborhood
Number
where neighborhood and district are rather vaguely defined, and the size of each depends upon the area. So for example:
Chiba Prefecture
Funabashi City
Higashi (East) Funabashi
Neighbohood #10
Building #15
is something of a rough translation of what my address in japan was: where the numbers of the neighborhoods was in arbitrary order and the numbers of the buildings in each neighborhood was an arbitrary order.
so the patent protects scripts that make multiple lookups transparent to the user (at least, according to the oh-so-trustworthy register).
so just eliminate transparency:
"looking up register.com"
"looking up register.net"
"looking up register.org"
instead of not eliminating transparency:
"looking up register"
ouchies
the freaks on the Right would rather die than see the Right to Bear Arms/Freedom of Religion touched.
are you kidding? "freaks on the right" sticking up for freedom of religion? I assume you mean freaks like George Bush.
"Bush: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." how's that for freedom of religion.
and don't even get me started on "freaks on the right" like jerry falwell, rush limbaugh, etc, getting all up in arms any time a nonchristian religion is threatened in any way. The right goes for thier own self interest. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but they certainly don't go out of their way to help anyone else out. And when their religion is that of the majority, they're certainly not gonna stick up for anyone ELSE's freedom of religion.
but what software are they using to control the robots? I assume it's an out of the box solution, since the article said that the students were programming the robots to act autonomously, and not building everything from the ground up (i assume the article would make a bigger deal out of it if that were the case, but maybe that's just because I would). In any case, the choice of computerrobot communication software could easily be the cause of the jump if the out of box solution is not available for win32 platform (or just doesn't work as well as it does on linux, as was the case with the system I've been using recently)
why is it that for geeks, I was in japan == I am cool.
fuckin' hell man.
i was in japan, and the lobster claw game beat the shit out of the taiko game. word.
panasonic (i think its panasonic, dont remember precisely) makes one in japan. at least i see it advertised on the JR lines all the time: record to hard disk or burn to dvd, and accepts digital pictures through compact flash pc card adapter, too.

in kurtzweil's age of spiritual machines (i believe in age of intelligent machines as well) he goes on to say that when chess ai was achieved, chess was thought of as a less 'intelligent' game. through the example of deep blue, etc... clearly, "weak" ai may be possible: a speciallized system that can simply dominate within its domain. regardless of whether people consider this 'ai' or not once it is achieved does not negate that fact that a machine has been taught to act 'intelligently' (i.e. humanlike)... the important question which is brought up by your post, of course, is the question of "strong" ai.... HAL/data style. a question, of course, which noone is anywhere close to answering in any intelligent form. i think its pretty obvious that TODAY"S computers will probably never acheive this strong ai, but some radical advance/mutation/COMPLETE CHANGE OF PARADIGM would make anything we have to say right now irrelevant. So the question is simply a bad one right now. ask again in twenty years, and it may still be bad, ask again tomorrow and it may actually be a good question: the paradigm shifts necessary are so radical that they cannot be predicted with time.
and to people who have no understanding of the technology, or people who understand the technology intimately, " "AI". Computer vision (face recognition), expert systems, even many modern strategy games" are certianly amazing. the problem behind their being considered intelligent is that (at least the good ones) rely almost completely on probability theory. people who causally hear this say 'well, if its just a giant coin flip, how can it be intelligent?'.... but maybe we're just a giant coin flip anyway? honestly, advances in AI research, specialilzed as they are, are incredibly exciting rapid developments in the understanding of these specialized fields, and teach us much about the current computability capacity of today's computers.

It's like paper prototyping, but without the paper!
If you are pursuing a PhD in interface design, do you really need to ask slashdot how to conduct a usability survey?
I haven't seen Scottie or Christine on any recent episodes... have they left the show for good?

fun, isn't it?
anyone know if they've changed the protocol at all?
In other words, does one 2 oh my god still work?
I dont think anyone around me has updated to 4.0.1 yet, so I can't check myself....
<shameless self promotion>
in any case, feel free to check out one 2 oh my god. it's pretty sweet

forget cerberus, i'd rather have kerberos... don't want anyone to be able to control my aibo for me!

you mean as opposed to windows, right?
but how does this compare to VegaStrike, which is already open sourced ( and written by a friend of mine , shameless plug )
