and for my salvo in this war, though I can not comment of the syntax of the referring article, paws in chess can move in a "L" pattern when executing an en passé (but it's rarely used and is considered to weaken your defenses). It's more of a diagonal move but a "L" nonetheless.
Ah, but see, HAL-9000 didn't make a mistake or distort information. HAL did exactly what he was supposed to do - give the mission the greatest possible chance of succeeding, which he attempted to do by knocking off the error and emotion prone human crew.
which makes the Honda Crash Detection system that much scarier. it will do exactly as it is told regardless of outside influence. granted it can be told to make exceptions but, void of human override, "What are you doing Dave?", it will still only ever act as it is told to do.
the HCD system should be a great augmentation to human controlled driving... not a replacement.

IBM's stock is at $84. Compared to the rest of the players in this drama I do not think that they have anything to worry about.
IBM's stock has followed the trends of the DJIA almost exactly for the last 8 years (DJIA up, IBM up etc.) Stock prices depend on more factors than this one little incident. Even SCOX has bounced back to $8.

both of you above are gentlemen and scholars. cheers.
i was snickering because, iirc, copyright is the opposite of copyleft.
an article touting the benefits of GNU uses a copyright. *snicker*

ah grasshopper, i've already patented the intellectual property of thinking about patents.
gotta catch them all:
seems like it's benefiting everyone
Isn't hurting them yet.
