Nasa doesn't need another failure. The last thing we need is the public to loose confidence in NASA. I have nightmares of NASA being disbanded and it's funds being siphoned into the American war machine.;)
"The Titan Arum flowered the last time at Bonn in Juli 2000. The flower with the shape of a fountain has had a diameter of 1,5 m and reached almost 2,60 m in height. It was the third largest flower of the Titan Arum in cultivation ever. Within 3 days the plant - strongly smelling of decaying fish - attracted some 15.000 visitors to the Botanic Garden of the Poppelsdorf Castle."
I believe it's called the Titan Arum. My trick? Reading.
I think math is mainly a smart man's game. Age doesn't have nearly as much to do with it as intelligence, education, and drive. I'm 21 now and there's no way in hell i'm going into a math based career; I find math to be agony.
In terms of output, you'd probably see more in a young man as they have to prove themselves. Ph.ds aren't given out at the drop of a hat you know, professors make you pay your dues. When you're old and tenured there's less of a need to be in the lab at all hours.
I have to agree that some AI (expert systems, etc.) has not progressed very far, but creating human like intelligence is not something that's going to happrn overnight. There have been tremendous leaps forward over the past few decades in things such as agents, however. Have patience.
Yahoo article.
Sounds incredibly promising as the death rate for this form of cancer in humans is so high (sounds like 100 percent according to the article).
"Takashi Saito and his colleagues at the Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories in Japan have developed a super alloy with unheard of strength and flexibility. It's not only light, but it can be stretched to more than 2.5 times its original length and return to its previous size. "
I allready have a material like that, but it isn't a metal. (Well it can feel like one)
I'd have recommended that they didn't cancel the 2nd generation shuttle part of the SLI. Can you believe they want to keep flying those death traps till 2022? Jeez.
It makes the prospects for life on Europa just that much more promising. We're finding life can exist in such extreme conditions.
It's time we sent a probe to drill beneath the ice there.
made me watch lord of the rings. it was okay. i mean it was gorgeous and all but i never got into the whole mid earth thing.
I'm not toally sure how this made the front page though? Some site has news on Lord of the Rings? Weee!
Well god bless. the development of quantum mechanics has allowed mankind a look into how strange the universe can really be.
As Hawking said (to paraphrase)... not only does God play dice but some times he throws them where no one can see.
One of the things i find so funny about it is how much physicist seem to hate it, even the ones that helped found it!
However it is the most accurate theory in modern physics, which is why it has become known as the standard model.Perhaps string theory or M-theory can help make it a bit more astetic... which seems to be what most physicist go for these days.
"...the so-called 'Harvard Mouse' that is especially prone to cancer... The hapless rodent still enjoys patent protection in the U.S., Japan and much of Europe. So there is at least one place where higher life forms cannot be patented"
This is something that makes you a higher life form? Being more prone to a deadly disease?
I think i'd take being a homo-sapien over a cancer mouse.

is this is a waste of time, jeez.
...with computer science is that it's impossible to get a teacher who speaks English without a thick accent in the major. (That, and proofs)
:p)
Oh well, at least i somehow got a "C" in algorithms. (I might have done better if I had read more than half of the chapters

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
that's an eclipse.
I've got nothing.

...they're still using brute force. i.e. - it's not the ai that's winning the matches as much as the processing power.

MIYAMOTO RULES. he's the genius behind all of the big n's top games. his track record speaks for it's self.
in soviet russia... redundancy makes you insane! GAH!

You'd think UC students would be too busy to play DDR, or is that hope? It seems no campus is safe from this geeky scourge.

So that's why they did it! They were going for the world record!

I didn't know spiders were so competitive.
The fewer humans the better.
I've said it before, and i'll say it again...
