  1. Re:If you are really interested... on Poker Driving Artificial Intelligence Research · · Score: 1

    Even better would Poker Academy (poker-academy.com). They use the AI that this article is taking about. The AI that was undefeated in two tournaments against other poker AIs. Not to mention the great online communtiy that has sprung up around the game. Thewre is no better place to play free poker online than with the Poker-academy software you can pick up for $20 at Best Buy. The game forces you to play in freerolls with other poker noobs in order to earn the $$$ you play with, called PAX. You then use the money you have earned in freerolls to play at at the PAX tables. The time it takes to win the PAX and the less than fun play uoui find in freerolls creates value in PAX, which encourages people to play more reaalistically. this is even more true, as you build your bankroll and can play at tables and in tourneys with higher limits. But the real value in Poker Academy is in leaning how to play well against the bots, which blow away any other program you will find. Plus the game provides you with all kind s of info that helps you. Showing you hand strength, pot odds ,and the like. It also keeps a database that you can go back to and find out what happened when you played aces on the button, or any pair in early position.

    It doesn't matter. It's like you calling me "dumbass". Wow! That really stings. Mr. Professional Angry Customer called me dumbass.

    I can see you now, sitting there talking to your friends, er, no wait. That doesn't make sense. You are sitting there talking to the other losers at the bar about how you were so right. I mean, they were so wrong, but you called them on it.

    Yeah, they just loathe you. Fucking dork. What's your next trick? Those jerks at Best Buy lying to you about their warranties? Go get 'em, Mr. Professional Angry Customer! They are just asking for it!

    I honestly don't give a crap what some phone jockey says. Right or wrong, it means nothing. They didn't "lie" or "fabricate". They were wrong. Big deal. You know why they got rid of the skip, and you are just being a baby because they won't say it. You just love being right. Too bad it just makes you a little bitch that still doesn't have a 30-second skip button.

    Wow, you really busted their balls. Customers suck, but the ones that want to argue semantics are the worst. Just how much time did you waste to make sure the phone jockeys knew that it wasn't illegal? Did you get your 30 second skip back? Oh well, you got to pound your chest, though.

    I had a friend call me to pick him up when his car broke down on the highway. He asked me to bring some oil, because he is pretty sure it was out. I tried to explain the if a car stops running because it didn't have any oil, putting more in wasn't going to help. It was a painful discussion.

    "Somewhat off topic, a company sued Nintendo back in the 80s claiming that DK was a rip off of King Kong. (Monkey kidnaps girl, etc etc) If I recall correctly, the lawsuit ended when it turned out the company didn't even own the rights to King Kong in the first place." Not only did MCA not own the rights to King Kong, but Nintendo used a prior case in which MCA argued that King Kong was in the public domain to win the lawsuit.

    Not a thing since it would be out of warranty by the time the battery dies. If it dies under warranty, Apple has to fix it.

    I have no idea how this affects what you have just written, but oil has to be bought with American dollars. That means when Denmark wants oil from Saudi Arabia, they have to have American dollars to buy it with. To get American dollars, they have to sell stuff to America. There's a conspiracy in there somewhere.

    Damn. Your right. Seems weird that it's not an option. Of course there are a ton of other options for creating smart playlists. Including making a playlist based on anything you have entered in comments. Personally, I just drag my favorite tunes from each album into my random playlist. But grabbing tunes from specific playlists would be cool. Then I could make a quick list from my random mix.

    Sure, the ITMS files are AAC and can only be played by iTunes and the iPod, but you burn a CD and play it anywhere, with any jukebox, on any computer. It's not even as limited as you suggest.

    Um, there are some limitations to what the smart playlists in iTunes can do, but you didn't find them. You can do all three of those examples. Hint: Use the pull down menus. iTunes gives users the most usefulness with the most simplicity. There are players that do more, but the average music listener is not that anal. Heck, seems you are not even that anal, since iTunes does do what you want.
