Wow, considering we barely have cooperative interaction between groups of different people working in the same office building
yep. and I can only imagine he would say the same thing if it was hospital software or something even more important than ATMs.
wanker.
I'm an open source fan, but there's really no good done in gloating at failure of another, especially when it negatively impacts (random innocent) people's lives.
Also, I do run win2k, and keep it properly updated and configured. I've _never_ been the victim of a worm or a virus.
guess that depends on your workplace. Im at work and I opened the suicidegirls site without fear. If any of my coworkers saw it, at worst they would be slightly interested.
I guess I like my job better than I thought I did...
I'd like to know why Nintendo's Lawyers are looking at goth-porn. That would seem far more damaging than a goth-porn site mentioning they like Nintendo games.
here's what Steven Landsburg, an economic writer for MSN has to say about that (and I agree with him, basically, protectionism is racist) --- If George Bush had chosen the racist David Duke as a running mate, I'd have voted against him, almost without regard to any other issue. Instead, John Kerry chose the xenophobe John Edwards as a running mate. I will therefore vote against John Kerry.
Duke thinks it's imperative to protect white jobs from black competition. Edwards thinks it's imperative to protect American jobs from foreign competition. There's not a dime's worth of moral difference there. While Duke would discriminate on the arbitrary basis of skin color, Edwards would discriminate on the arbitrary basis of birthplace. Either way, bigotry is bigotry, and appeals to base instincts should always be repudiated.
Bush's reckless spending and disregard for the truth had me almost ready to vote for Kerry--until Kerry picked his running mate. When the real David Duke ran against a corrupt felon for governor of Lousiana, the bumper stickers read, "Vote for the crook. It's important." Well, I'm voting for the reckless spendthrift. It's important again. ---
Not only that, but you are against outsourcing then? really? do you want your next computer to cost 200,000$ because it was built by american union members? prepared to pay a thousand dollars for a pair of jeans? everything would get really expensive in a hurry if we _didnt_ outsource.
" it seems a suitable punishment for a criminal who comits his crime in anonmity. "
heh, I get all your points, and agree... just thought the above quote was a little funny, cause if you didn't commit your crimes in anonimity, you'd probably get caught.
'Not sure it's so special. Doesn't say much about AI, just your standard run of the mill flying cirvalance plane.'
surveillance?
And no, we have UAVs that carry 2 hellfire type missiles, and autonomously fly in a given area trying to detect targets. Once it thinks it has found a target, it sends info back to base where a human decides whether or not to fire the missiles. While the UAV is not making the decision to kill, its doing _everything_ else up to that point.
"I think your confidence in putting artificial intelligence in killing machines is a little misplaced."
I don't. You pointed out 2 cases where AI has failed. I could point out hundreds if not thousands of cases where human intelligence has failed in wartime.
I don't trust machines.... but I don't trust humans either. Which is more likely to make a mistake?
"Does the idea of putting artifical intelligence into a killing machine make anyone else a little nervous?"
Well it would have made me nervous..... back in 1974.
I think such things are reasonably commonplace today, the level of automation on a modern warship such as an Aegis cruiser could easily be called AI. Same with Tomahawk missiles, Apache helicopters, unmanned recon planes...
"WHO IS THIS Roland Piquepaille, AND WHY IS HE DISLIKED ?"
He gets story after story posted here, just to drive traffic to his crappy slashdot-wanna-be blog, and he probably gets ad revenue from it.
Maybe if his site was a little less fringe-lunatic junk science he wouldn't be so reviled.
I personally think he has some deal with the slashdot editors to get his stories posted because _nobody_ else has the story acceptance record this guy does. Nobody is anywhere close.
"They would consume methane and oxygen and produce liquid carbon dioxide"
Yep, doesn't sound 'zero emission' to me either.
The other thing that caught me is that its producing liquid carbon dioxide? I thought carbon dioxide sublimates, as in goes from solid to gas with no liquid step. Or, if it has a liquid stage, its only under very specific conditions of temperature and pressure.
I am not a chemist, but it doesn't sound right to me...

Good question. I'm curious if these will be radioactive like nukes. If you got the 'bang' without having the radioactivity, wouldn't that be _less_ scary than a nuke? I'm obviously not a quantum physicist, and I dont even play one on/. Perhaps one of you big-brained types could enlighten me? Thanks.
I'd say Gates is more important. Mostly because if Gates died tomorrow, it would affect the economy a lot more than if Linus died tomorrow. Plus, Gates has given more to charitable organizations than Linus will ever make in his life.
Whom do I prefer? Linus. Whom do I think is a nicer guy, and a better tech? Linus. Who is more important to a larger percent of the population? Gates.

My name is Nobujuta Mussabi, Recently VERY bad things have happened to my father, OKIMBE mussabi. OKIMBE had nearly 10,000,000,00 EUROS in a swiss ACCOUNT.

I'd like to know why Nintendo's Lawyers are looking at goth-porn. That would seem far more damaging than a goth-porn site mentioning they like Nintendo games.
but what do I know.
Why isn't there a .porn?
I think it would be nice to seperate that stuff out.
really? wow. I didn't even write a single line of code!
I'm going to have to use slashdot as a programming interface more often.
sounds just like an idea i had for a virus about 5 years ago. (no, I didn't write it).
The virus would load a couple of nastypics onto the victims machine, then send out an email to the FBI. The first virus that would get you arrested.
It was just an idea, I have never written a virus that has been let loose into the wild...
sure. as soon as we figure out how to prevent voter fraud. until then, I believe we have this thing called the UN where the world does get to vote.
