Scotch pancake != drop scone.
Scotch pancakes are much fluffier, more a sort of cake consistency, while drop scones are smaller, and midway between scotch and common or garden pancakes.
10 years?
By 10 years ago, RISCOS 3 was out. The RISCPC has been around for 8(?) years (first riscpc600's had RISCOS3.5).
RISCOS started out on the A3xx series (as far as I can remember, we're going back to waaaaay back in the dim and distant past).
I used Acorns for 15 years and never had one crash (well, sometimes, but that was due to flaky 3rd party software rather than OS stability issues). There's something to be said for a firmware OS.

Never. I type much faster thAn I can speak, and probably faster thAn I can think. Speaking also leaves a lot more room for error, although that's an opinion.
Sure. Oh, and typing faster than you can think? Where does the typing come from? Probably faster than you can articulate the thought in your head, but thats not the same as thinking. Who says that you'd have to talk to the computer in a natural language?
What about Huntingdon's Chorea? More common than MEN2, but doesn't usually present until the carrier is in his/her 40's, after (most) people who are going to have a family have a family.
Most humans find nature unconditionally beautiful. When it comes to more everyday experience however, exceptions arise (like cows, pigs, bees, other smelly/nasty things). When it comes to attractiveness (based solely on looks), you'll react to the face that triggers the most "fertility" flags in your brain. This changes with experience, as its not a good reproductive strategy to keep chasing one type of person if all they ever do is chase you away. Mating with a specimin that did not score top on your fertility scale is better than not mating at all.
Of course, this article is a lot of fuss over nothing - its probably just a neural net. The only time consuming thing would be getting all of the faces, and getting accurate ratings for them for "beauty" from real-life people. It'll probably have a very Westernized (more specifically Scottish) idea of what is beautiful.
How on earth is this offtopic?
In a discussion about mammoths (who have trunks) a joke was made about them using them to breathe underwater. How is it then OT to mention that trunks may have beenused for this purpose?
Aaaah.
You see, in traditional slashdot style I was posting without reading the article.
Still, computer control can be extended to a film-based camera as well, though I suppose the problem there is with reliability of the film/camera mechanism.
I tend to agree - in this age of webcams and always-on computers, why not just set up a cron job to take a snapshot at X o'clock each day?
Who's going to notice the odd missing frame when the box is down because of the annual blackout?
No way. Road Warrior is the best of the three. MM3 was full of cliched post-apocalyptic child civilizations straight from some bad b-movie. And Star Wars isn't scifi.
why is it that stills in the old days used to blow up?
Distillation is the process of evaporating alcohol off from beer - alcohol vapour flying around heating apparatus isn;t a good thing. Its like boiling a pan of petrol on a gas stove.

I also have that set. It is simply the 4-disc extended edition in a larger presentation box, with two Argonath book-ends.
Nuclear propulsion is not "radical". Untested, but not radical.

No.

...surely anyone who watched Red Dwarf can see the inherent failings of a quantitiative method of detecting guilt.

Go to a site which has a java keyboard, and use that for any sensitive info.
Just because there is no ideal solution does not mean there is no way an AI-agent can do it.

The guy quotes the article and still doesn't know what it says?!? Egads...
That way, if he gets screwed, he has a (relatively) friendly judicial system to back him up.
Star Wars is the american war of independance in space.
Would you also classify James Bond as scifi?
No way.
Road Warrior is the best of the three. MM3 was full of cliched post-apocalyptic child civilizations straight from some bad b-movie.
And Star Wars isn't scifi.
Christ, these were on Tomorrow's World about 6 years ago, and that particular "new technology" program is usually about 2-3 years off the pace.
