  1. Similar modular robot for NASA on MK-1 Robotic Arm Capable of Near-Human Dexterity, Dancing · · Score: 1

    NASA has funded a similar robot. This article shows the modularity of their robot better.

  2. Re:Setting aside the humor, do they have a point? on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    On your last comment -- Apple similarly refused to fix a bad LCD backlight in my friends IBook because he had installed more memory and bent a pin inside the memory expansion. How a bent pin in memory is related to a backlight is suspect as well.

  3. Stats on What Math Courses Should We Teach CS Students? · · Score: 1

    Baysian Statsics. That's the future (present in research).

  4. This software sucks on Fake Scientific Paper Detector · · Score: 1

    I fed abstracts from several highly cited papers in AI and robotics into this thing. None got higher than 50% with the majority of them being classified below 40% chance of being written by a human. Talk a bout a high false positive rate. I guess the publication about this project won't end up in the set I mentioned above.

  5. It's not a freaking robot!!! on Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now · · Score: 1

    Why is everything these days considered a robot? A remote control car is not a robot. A kegerator, not matter how many RFIDs and ethernet cards you slap on it is not a robot.

  6. ThinkPad X40 on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    It's small, lightweight, and gets 5-6 hours of battery life.
