Saying "We might destroy everything while trying to do this one thing. Therefore we shouldn't do it" is a horrible reason to not do something. If that were actually a real possibility, destroying everything, there would be many more concrete reasons in plain sight explaining why we shouldn't do something. Saying be careful is a non-issue. Saying people should be responsible is part of an after school special. Saying, hypothetically, we could turn every single thing into grey goo is pure BS.
If you have $2k to spend on home entertainment stuff, the sales personnel at Best Buy could offer something more practical, especially if you are unable to "build" your own solution.
I mean this thing doesn't seem whisper quiet--you could easily spend the same ammount on a better computer.
And it's all part of a much larger scheme where the "Chess Master" is going to get back at the Gate manufacturers who wronged him, by stealing the money from the tolls at the Gates.
Are you trying to make a point or explain my joke?
Basically Windows 2k security is "certified" as secure as closing the bathroom door while, well you know, making a deposit. But not "certified" secure if someone, anyone, is *trying* to do something bad, other than make a deposit.
The 1% of the public that is pirating music used to be part of the 5% of the public that buys much new music at all (12-24 year olds). It's the music industry's own fault for marketing an overpriced product to a group with little spending money and a low value of their own time.
Wow, I mean like boom. Great point.
The reason I don't pirate music is because the "good" music I would pirate is unavailable to me via p2p. And now I know why: the 5% of the public that buys much new music at all(12-24 year olds) aren't listening to jazz. Thus I must buy the CD if I want to listen to Headhunters. Damn, I never thought of that before--it really is the industry's own fault because they suck, not because Brittney sucks per se. They focus on selling large quantities of CD's, not quality content on CD's. Definitely a poor business plan.
With the soap opera, you get no hardcore action. Anime porn can give you both; there is no western equivalent. Plots and fantasy are important when you've watched as much porn as I have, and find most of it boring.
Cowboy Bebop is great SciFi. The way music is used is really creative--sax solo during a space ship chase scene. The world-view is also very interesting: a BladeRunner like gel of every culture. Basically can't say enough good things about the show.
Law & Order, CSI, sitcoms, American TV in general have nothing on it.
Same reason. American Hardcore porn lacks any real emotion or acting or plot. American softcore porn lacks any hardcore action.
Anime porn has more emotional content, better plots, etc. Plus you can really dive into darker things like domination, shame, without creating a snuff film. That can make things more exciting and makes topics available for self-examination without actually watching a real person get beat up or whatever.
Alright, you got me. Conditional Independance doesn not exist in reality; I called it magic didn't I? This is a LOTR discussion =)
Anyway, the really interesting part IMHO is what the real difference is, if any, between a rule that gives you hard-fact of what is and is not (spam, whatever) and an approximation that does it about as well.
Actually dude, that article was about a Bayesian filter. That means it uses a probabilistic reasoning system called a Bayesian Network, or uses the "naive" Bayes rule to reason about the data.
In fact it uses *real* mathematical probability about things that are knowable(if you knew what things they were, you wouldn't need him to write the filter) and some magic called
Conditional Independance
to create the Bayesian Network. Now thanks to our assumptions, conditional independance, about the things we know probabilities of, the resulting Bayesian Network is in fact a representation of the universe of possible emails. Conditional Independance is a short cut for certain problems when the "full joint distribution" is too big to deal with. (Yeah i said joint, but no it wasn't regarding the dizank)
Fuzzy logic, like you said, and the parent said, and as I said in response to the grand parent, doesn't use probabilities. But your Bayesian example does indeed use *real* *mathematical* probabilities.
Slashdot Mirror
Must really have some neat features since they are using these.
Don't forget Krycek had a nano-hold over Skinner in The X-files.
Or you could say unfortunately, we have elected offices

But is your computer a
full-fledged home entertainment mecca
You *need* a P4 2.66 to display pictures
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just build one of those?
Like, a lot cheaper

See you later Space Cowboy. .

((Windows Security == closing door) + bathroom humor + on topic ==> funny)
is that you assume, in the form of (annecdotal)history, exactly what you set out to prove.
is CAPP/EAL4.
It protects me against threats of inadvertent or casual attempts to breach the system security, like people walking in while I'm, uhh, ya know.
Of course it does nothing when someone disables the lock or tries to kick the door in.

OpenGL does not provide any other of DirectX's functionality...
like sound.
They're still pretty to look at, though, and have a more intuitive GUI
Mature anime are not the norm, and do not reflect the culture of Japan. For that, you need to watch television programs
;)
like the Iron Chefs?

It seemed to me like Lessig reserved a few minutes at the end for this heavy hitter:
"The Feist opinion very clearly sets out the implied limits, a per se limit for originality, "
Which is a brilliant point: after some period of time, an original idea is no longer original.
Actually, I'm the set of all sets.
Is that stolen concept or what?
and I'm bored.
3rd shift computer babysitting--I can feel my ass grow.

Indeed that would be epic. But have you considered the Balrog vs the Rancor. That would be one hell of a CG battle.
