    Nevermind; I just found out that they will be using both AI algorithms on both processors.

    Also one algorithm might be written more efficiently and take less processor time.

  3. Re:Eh? on Draw! · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but are the 2 AI algorithms the same? If they aren't then they will also affect the outcome. One algorithm might make better moves than the other. In which case the comparison of the 2 processors wouldn't be fair because there is an additional variable.

  4. Don't want it on Lab-Grown Meat Chunks - It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    I'm one of those poor poor vegetarians and have no desire to eat meat. I'm happy just eating plant derived food. I'm sure some vegetarians would eat meat if it didn't cause animal suffering, but many wouldn't because they have no desire to eat it.

    I'm sure that most meat-eaters wouldn't eat human flesh even if it could be grown without killing humans. I (and I'm sure many other vegetarians) feel the same way about animal flesh.

    I agree with you. Hopefully some day humans, as a whole, will be more sensitive to animals suffering and take futher steps to prevent it. Vegetarianism and veganism is an obvious first step. Humans don't need to kill the other animals to eat, so why do we do it when it causes them suffering?

    I think you may be right. Eating meat my be normal for most people but it isn't normal for vegetarians and vegans. I think, spending the US taxpayers money on this is very wasteful. People in space can be healthy without eating meat; vegetarians and vegans do it all the time.

    I don't take troll bait. Get a life instead of trolling and become educated.

  8. Re:Tofu?! on Lab-Grown Meat Chunks - It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    You are right; tofu is good (at least it is to many people familiar with it). My wife (a Vietnamese) knows how to prepare tofu and makes several very tasty dishes with it. Even though I never ate tofu growing up, I now love it.

    Considering that tofu is nutritionally inadequate (there are essential proteins that you just can't get from vegetable sources)

    You need to learn more about nutrition!

    Try reading the American Dietetic Associations paper

    Vegetarian Diets -- Position of ADA

    Here is a quote from the paper

    It is the position of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.

  10. Sounds like troll bait to me on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed that some people like to fabricate things and try to incite hatred. No one is biting though. You've underestimated peoples intelligence.

  11. Earlytime, I agree with you 100 percent on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 1

    Seeing others points of view and applying the same standards to everyone (including ourselves) is important in todays world, no matter how good we think we are. It is a necessary ingredient for peace in the world. I imagine that the folks in other countries must think that we Americans as a whole are arrogant hypocrites.

  13. Re:Maybe, but standard office file formats would d on MS Office for OSX? Why not for Unix as Well? · · Score: 1

    I agree. A standard office format would be great. We *nix folk don't really want to use MS Office. But, we need to share files with those that do use it. I was thinking about something simular to what you suggested. How about in the final settlement requiring Microsoft to publish the file formats they use. And, also require them to publish new formats developed in the future. That way the other Office developers can write better filters.
