I am completely disgusted with everyone milking the September 11th attack for their own benefit. If you have something on your agenda to promote, just find a way to attach it to September 11th and you're set.
I go to UIUC too. The CS department is a complete joke. There isn't much selection for courses. Sure there is cooperation among students, but I think Georgia Tech would have a heart attack if they knew just what kind of coopeartion goes on. It's more theoretically oriented (as opposed to applied) and the whole department is very disorganized (just look at Zych's courses).
What is it with these advertisers? They're getting so damn annoying. If you don't make enough money from ads, you find another avenue, you don't shovel more ads in people's faces. Where's the "Won't somebody think of the children!" wailing we always hear about violence and nudity?
Net advertising is so damn cheap that you know they'll keep going with this sleaze unless something is done about it. It'd be nice to have an open instant messaging platform to block advertisers more easily, but you know that it will never take off because of the already established user-base. I guess it's see how long you can take it before the service is not worth it anymore, find something else, watch that go down the drain, repeat.

It's just a marketing ploy. On one of the shopping networks, they were trying to sell a laptop, and they touted the short amount of time that google took to perform a query. That laptop was so fast that google took 0.09 seconds to perform the search. Pretty funny.
Really though, I have no idea how they could possibly improve on it. There is no way that they can make a better animated movie, and I don't see how a film could capture the spirit of Akira.
I believe that the limiting factor is actually thermal velocity. Electrons move much more quickly on their own, if you look at the aggregate movement it is actually much slower.
Electrons are not photons...they have mass and thus cannot travel at the speed of light even in vacuum...in a wire there is not enough room for them to travel at a high speed for long as they will collide...thus their mean speed is significantly reduced (wires have resistance).
"Its been programmed to avoid everything/one in the hallway, if that is not possible, it stops and announces that it can not make any futher progress without assistance."
Does the announcing go something like this:
"Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?"
CmdrTaco...he has been so busy working today, that you know he has the dedication required for the job.
Seriously though, at least try to keep the number of articles at the regular level.
It's a bit tedious having to sift through Aprilf Fool's jokes on news sites today, but what happens if you try a search a few months from now, or a few years from now, and they still show up. They could be dangerous if not clearly marked as so since even reputable sites do this. It is very easy to spread mis-information on the web, which is why people tend to read only a few sites that they trust. That is why I don't think it would be a good idea for reputable sites to indulge in this kind of activity unless they specifically mark the stories as jokes on April 2nd. And no, I don't consider the stories here on Slashdot to be particularly truthful anyway, but the sites linked might be.
As far as the current state of AI is concerned, what are some of the most useful applications outside of games?
The robotics field I am sure makes some major use of it.

Look at it from the other side...it will be nice and toasty in the winter in the computer room :)

Hey cut it out with that Slashdot-ing, poor Junis is trying to look at some movies.

Didn't you read the article? It has no lubricants.

"Mozilla has branched for 1.0 RC1, which is the first last step to a final Mozilla 1.0"
That oxymoron just about sums it up doesn'it.

You forgot about sperm banks :)

Yeah I would hate to expireIt's the old, "It's not a trojan, it's a feature" adage.

need to imagine a cluster of these?
I think not
That's nothing...I plan on finishing the port of Quake III to console in about 6hours.
