I swear, back when I was using IE 3, whenever I typed in www.netscape.com it would come up with a page not found window. But the second time I went to it, it went there fine.
If these things can speak, and is evil...
HAL: I can't let you do that George.
GRANDPA: But I need to go to the bathroom!
HAL: Good bye George.
GRANDPA: What?...
should it do the easy and intelligent thing and just stop working?
How is this intelligent? You know that before long, a crack will be out to get it working again. And if the person who went through the trouble of copying it in the first place, is really likely to know about cracks.
I think its just that everyone knows that girls mature faster than boys. So when they scientists were told to build a robot to a five year olds specs, the scientists said 'OK, robot boy building time,' because they wanted to slack off. Damn slackers *waiving fist in air*.
I think that eventually, the question won't be if a machine can beat a human at chess, it will be who's computer can beat the other computer that can obviously beat a computer. And the pride will be in the design of the hardware and software that beats the reinging computer.
Sombody will hack it and be able to hijack the wireless signal. Then love-less geeks will be able to tell by heart rate if she actually likes me... No, I mean them!
Almost all of the UK's tech support call centres are located in India because it costs less. Since call centres require so many PCs, I wouldn't be suprised that they don't want to pay high MS prices for OSs. Linux to the rescue, especially for a somewhat poor country.
Even though google uses PageRank, often sites are higher in the results are only there because they had the right keywords in the title. Sites like this have been tweaked with other similar tricks to score higher. Obviously, this new system would be able to get around this. Perhaps, when joined with Google, this could take over when PageRank fails to be applicable. Then we would have something great!
The article didn't mention anything about how it might be considered a 'missing link'. It it is indeed its own species, this discovery will have significant anthropological rammifications. If it is just a hybrid, this discovery might not mean much.

Thats how the terminator's face was made so life-like! The robots from the future must be using this software to make really realistic faces.
Perhaps you can console yourself in the fact that I didn't get one either. But hey, I'm sure that alot of people would consider us lucky!

Actually, I think that a robot built to a five year old's specs could match the capabilities of some 19 year old cheerleaders.

In soviet Russia, CHESS plays YOU!

No no, its most likely to be a really good tool for the future robot mafia!
