  1. Re:Hold your horses! on NASA Boosts AI For Planetary Rovers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Guess what? A neural network is a simple nonlinear function. Period.

    And the brain is just a little harder nonlinear function. Period.

  3. Lemonade on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    We sold my old Nintendo 8-Bit to a friend of my brother. I don't know why but they poured lemonade into the game slot...

    It continued to work, although you had to repeatedly press restart a few times until the game started. But when it did, it worked just fine.

  4. Re:Can you watch TV on it? on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: 1

    Would be nice if you could. Then you could change the tv channel on the toilet while being able to watch the same channel all the way back to the tv.

  5. Re:It's Java on Sun to GPL Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Killed by the society he saved. on Marking 50 Years Since Alan Turing's Death · · Score: 1

    Too bad Turning didn't chose

    No Turing did not turn.

  10. Re:Memory limitations on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    I think nature does not "expect" things to happen as fast as we humans try to run them. About the 'old stuff' in the brain; I am not sure but I think I once read that our dreams at night kind of clean memories up, removing 'or putting them away'. Like for example that you walked past three black birds and one white jumping around counterclockwise on the ground. That is not even supposed to be remembered. If not during the dream phase; I am almost certain that such meaningless memories are somehow deleted/erased from our brains.

  11. Re:5000 years? I think not on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    Modded funny ? I think it's a very insightful comment, after a certain time the chance of being involved in fatal accident must be very high.

  12. Re:Memory limitations on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    That may be true if we are speaking about 5 or 10 years, but here we may speak of 200 years or some other _very_ long period. I doubt that you would relearn quickly after such a period.

  13. Re:Why aren't these people already in? on Hall of Fame Voting For Computer Museum of America · · Score: 1

    Now I can guarantee that I'll be modded down for this,

    I think I will mod down anyone who mentions something about modding in their posts; which by the way makes my own post a juicy target, but I felt like mentioning it once anyway.

  14. Re:libcaca? on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 1

    Well not in swedish. But if you change the c's to k's (which sounds the same) it means cookie.

  17. Re:RTFB on Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards · · Score: 1

    That site (hicksdesign) wastes so much space that it makes me really irritated. In fact so irritated that I forget that the design is in fact good in the small stripe.

  18. Pay me... on Spamhaus Guru Steve Linford Profiled · · Score: 2, Interesting
