  1. Arimaa info on Computer Beats Humans At Arimaa · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can play the android version of the bot here: https://play.google.com/store/... It comes with a good tutorial on how to play. Relevant xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1002/

  2. Re:Gee thanks... on Welkin: A General-Purpose RDF Browser · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of misconceptions about the Semantic Web going on here. 1) It's not a way to insert a lot of links into HTML the way Wikipedia does. 2) It's not some sort of replacement for HTML or describing things in good old fashioned text. The idea is that you describe knowledge in a way that is repurposable (ie: a computer can prove theorems about it, etc). It's more like an SQL database than an HTML web page. Your secretary is *not* supposed to hand-edit RDF files. There may be RDF files in the *back-end* of the application he uses, however. The Semantic Web will make it easier for two corporations to merge their databases, for example. The URIs associated with RDF entities and relationships need not be associated with any viewable web page. RTFM.

  3. Don't make one; buy one on E-bike E-xperiences? · · Score: 1

    I personally own and use a eGo cycle from eGo Vehicles, a small Rhode Island company.

    I highly recommend them. Start at $1000. Goes 23 mph for about 23 miles per charge. Charges in about 3 hours. Looks great. Quiet. Mine has turn signals, lights, brake lights, electric horn, etc. Climbs hills amazingly well -- they don't even supply peddles because you don't need them. Acceleration is great. Contact me if you're interesting -- I think I can get you ~$50 off the listed prices. (no promises)

    If you want a bicycle for exercise, go for it. But the eGo is an easier, faster (unless you're Mr. Armstrong), and safer way to get to work.

  4. Re:Networked File systems on High Performance Diskless Linux At AX-Div, LLNL · · Score: 3, Informative

    At my University there is a fairly large Andrew system which performs well. The only gotcha is that Andrew implements its own non-Unix file permissions, which is a bit confusing. Coda is of course based on Andrew. It differs only slightly in its concurrent write semantics.

  5. Fill out your taxes online? on AOL Beta Testing Gecko-Based Browser · · Score: 1

    Intuit (makers of Quicken) have a nice online tax filing system, but no support for linux browsers whatsoever. The site stops you with a list of supported browsers. They list Netscape 6.0 on Mac machines, so probably all they have to do is realize that they already support Mozilla/Galeon in Linux. You can file a complaint here.
