I'm not sure that teaching computers how to deceive us is a good idea...
Yeah, teaching them full-information games like chess, tic-tac-toe or *sigh* thermo-nuclear war
They tested on both people's perception and symptoms such as sweaty skin and high blood pressure.
So, basically, they detected stress ?
I thought cell phone masts were supposed to cause leukemia. This looks like a PR stunt to me. True science, true facts but presented in some way that they know some bad science journalists will make titles like "Cell Towers Not Responsible For Illness", dupe at 7.
OSS based machine doesn't solve anything. How can you be sure that the published source is the one being used by the machine ? I am sorry, I see no way of doing this with an electronically programmable machine.
Nobody should have to propose the government to pay them more in order to improve their regulations. After all that's why taxes are supposed to be for.
I prefer the R&D made in order to draw energy from sugar inside the blood. It was largely inefficient (1% of efficiency maybe) and had a cute nickname "Dracucell".These were taking energy from regular sugar coming from food. Given that most people in industrialized countries eat more than necessary, this could prove interesting.
After all, in winter I get warmth from my electronic devices, it is only a way to pay them back:)
Don't worry. Given the inertia of European bureaucracy, US has enough time to see a change of opinions, to make new lawas for copyrights and to abolish software patents.
EU has a lot of good principle, the main one being to refuse the legalization of lobbying but its power are really limited and recommandations take a lot of time to be transformed into laws in the 27 countries. In France there are some recommandations that were made at the EU level in 2001 that are still not laws.
This is a big deal. If you think that Americans are conservatives and puritanians, you should take a look at some African countries (I am not sure about Nigeria though). If they see that most kids can access porn on their laptops they can very well consider this a big enough issue to completly withdraw from the program.
I think one can easily find people who use planes 50 times more often than average, making it almost as probable for them to die in a car crash than in a plane crash. This article can be interesting for people who take planes often. Another interesting stat would be the chances to survive a plane crash where at least one passenger was killed.
You're carrying a microphone that is made in order to transmit voice wirelessly, you probably have it on in your pocket, at voice reach during all of your private conversation and you rely on a non-disclosed, neither third-party-approved proprietary software running on proprietary hardware to prevent it from spying on you.
Of course threats to privacy are multiple, but this issue has a very serious potential. It is good to educate people about this fact.
More funny : a simple Markov chain algorithm beats a standard human player at Rock-Scissor-Paper 70% of the time. (Good players manage to be actually random in their choice and come closer to a 50/50 figure)
Pretty much in the next 10 years just about everything will be wireless. This means that a conversations/data will be able to be plucked out of the air by just about anyone (as is being done now.) That is why cryptography is important. That is why it must remain legal to use advanced algorithms.
Heh, don't complain. This training has several advantage, DHS-wise :
It is legal and happens publicly, I think the DHS can easily get the list of everyone registered
It is easy for CIA agents to register and see what really happens there
It is about explosives used in mines. That is, huge quantities of industrial explosives. I think that such a training is completly useless for a terrorist : they won't say how to plant a bomb in urban area, how to maximize the number of death, how to get into a plane with this or how to make explosives from innocent products.
IMNA explosive expert, but I suspect the detonators they will use are not handmade and really easy to defuse, for safety. That would be the exact opposite of a bomb detonator.
Good! The word is carefully chosen. It now has a chance to be heard by politicians. Wouldn't there just be a way to link proprietary formats to Al-Quaeda ? Come on ! I'm sure we can !
Precise wording make for more elaborate and less ambiguous thinking. As soon as you have labelled someone "thief", you can easily say that he his victim has lost money, it requires attention to not see the fallacy of this conclusion. Equally, when you label someone a "pirate" because he has broken into a system it sounds as if his actions were unequivocally illegal, but we all know that the "black hat" vs "white hat" crackers was a hot debate.
I am not American, I don't know about OJ case and the Wikipedia is not very clear about it. Looks like he was recognize responsible for the murder but escaped jail by (legally ?) paying huge amounts of money ? According to what you say, this is an interesting case where you should choose how you call him depending on what is your opinion about the whole process. I may sound pedant but in fact this is not about futility, wording is important.
What makes me raise eyebrows is the verb "steal" more than the pluralization of "code". No doubt that this action is illegal but the use of "steal" is just inaccurate. Why can't we stick to "illegal download" ?
During the DotCom 1.0, knowing a dozen of HTML markup and copy-pasting some javascript functions were enough to be called a "web guru". Knowadays, with CSS, AJAX, security issues, DHTML, in order to be hired as a web developper one needs to have more expertise.

Once again, China is more advanced than USA. There, children cannot see either boobies or Tian-Anmen terrorists on Internet.

It could perhaps be a good idea to come up with a new name for the whole project to tone down the "we won, they lose" issue...

Paranoid and pragmatic. In other words : Russian
If I owned a private company providing cellphones and cellphone service, I would surely investigate if I could not put some clients on the spy list.

I thought the same. Then I looked at the price.

I wonder if I would be legally able to purchase this item from France. After all, this could be considered a nazi collector...
Just don't depend on Youtube for distribution.

Hey! A one dollar difference is enough! that's the difference between $999 and $1000. If it works for washing machines why can't it for computers ?
