I don't know if this is still the case, but 10+ years ago California State University Stanislaus had a very well respected AI/NN program. Maybe look around their site or email them to get some suggestions?
I don't get it. What's "Free as in soviet Russia: Check" mean? We're going to have to stand in long lines to pick up packets along with our toilet paper?
Yes, they are. XM is basically a spin-off technology of a company called Worldspace (overseas sat broadcasting and now bankrupt.) WS used to broadcast "Internet-like" content (their term, not mine) over the same airwaves.
>The real problem with satellite radio is that since it competes mainly with free services
Respectfully, no, it doesn't. I'm able to hear the channel I want during a whole drive across the US and even into parts of Canada. I'm able to get traffic/weather reports as soon as I need them, instead of waiting for every 15 min (or whatever.) I have my favorite channels where I know I'm guaranteed to hear the music I want, when I want it, instead of random shuffles of what I consider to be mostly trite current hits. For example, I love classical music. I have my choice of listening to the style of classical that I want (opera, traditional, etc) instead of a melange of different types on one station. Is there a lot of repetition on the channels? On some? Yes. More now since the merger? Sadly, yeah. But satellite radio competes with free services only in terms of what I listen to. But frankly, it doesn't compete very successfully.
A warm up should be just that - moderate activity to get the muscles ready for your workout.
I agree about the moderate activity. That's why I start with a shot, then move up to light beer and then, only after I'm sure I'm ready for a workout, do I try and press a martini....
Just curious: Why are the all vitriolic posts marked "insightful" or "informative" but this one doesn't have similar mods? This seems like a valid point. Same thing I was thinking: Someone in legal went, "He said what? Oh crap... How does the Interwebs work? Can we make that vanish? No, OK then how about a follow-up post that says..."
Not sure what you mean. I installed server and only got the bits I needed. Installed Samba after as it wasn't part of the default package because they don't know if you'll want it, so they leave it up to you. Same with other components.
But there's no such word as "amongst." You can reply with any link you want to try and prove me wrong but sorry. It's not a real world. I can't seem to get the keywords to load on my browser, but I'd love it if there's a "crappygrammar" tag because of the summary.
It looks very nice, but I can't tell if it's first-person or a hybrid first/third. At one point in the first video it looks like we see the player from the back. I'd hope it can be played as a hybrid as I can't play first-person games for more than about 20 minutes before I get motion sickness. Really sucks as there are obviously a ton of games out there I just can't play.
"I think you need a reality check hoss. Your surroundings does not equal the norm. A 30 minute public access cable show does not a campaign make. Awaken."
I can't tell if that's your sig file or a response to my post. If the latter, then... um... yeah. I have zero idea what that means. Regardless, more people are getting familiar with the name Ubuntu then with other distros of Linux (except investors who learned the name Red Hat years ago). No, I'm not saying that it's a ridiculously large number when compared to the rest of the world that knows the name "Microsoft." But it is a significant enough group that popular publications like PC Magazine are mentioning it, not just more niche ones like Linux Magazine.
I guess I didn't correctly read what you meant. I'm assuming you mean they're _not_ cutting it off yet. Regardless, IMO they're allowing for additional time because it's an extra revenue source. Why limit the potential option to one OS when you can get people buying one of two? It's also to their benefit to do so rather than to effectively cut off sales to both: "Hey, I hear Vista is terrible. I wanna go to XP. What do you mean XP isn't for sale anymore? Hmm. I wonder what's up with this whole Ubuntu thing I keep hearing about...."
And, as I asked, what is the stand-out issue with this law? I specifically said, not IP in general - this law. I understand the usual IP issues/concerns/dislikes.
Alright, I know I'm being a complete moron but based on the linked article, I'm not sure what is particularly bad about this particular act (other than the usual, "All IP should be free to blow in the wind" arguments/. always sees.) No, I'm not being a troll or aiming for flamebait. There do need to be laws for protection for IP and doesn't this thing just clarify and/or create laws to enforce that need? Someone pls explain, without going rabid, what _in this particular act_ is causing consternation and I'll get on the phone with my representative in a heartbeat. But again, the linked article doesn't sound as bad as the earlier version or even other, similar acts.
A story mentioning Google without a "donoevil" tag?? Someone must be falling asleep at the switch.
In all seriousness, does the average consumer care about the underlying stuff? The "problem" with iPhone apps is that they look good, they're easy to install and they generally work. That's all the average person cares about. More and more people have iPods and thus iTunes and so are used to having the process of transfering Item A (music) to Item B (their iPod.) Now swap music for application and iPod for iPhone and you've got a something people are familiar with. Granted, that _might_ change if Google does create their own version of the Google store, but it depends how they pimp it. My guess is appropriate apps will show up in search results, the same way as their ads are tied to whatever it is for which you are searching. Now that might tip things toward them. Everybody uses "The Google" and they're all familiar with it....

I was going to say, "We'll be filtering out all feedback from email coming from @comcast.net".
Nah, but my post is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. :)
I hate to say it, but every president does it.

Ballmer: Sure. Where do you want it to land?
So what? So was Joust.

See if you can blow some kids up. Teachers love that stuff.

You're right. Sometimes it's the Senate.

Have you got a suggestion for one that's cross-platform, does video (perhaps even encrypted?) and is easy-for-grandparents-to-use friendly?

Not more power, more responsibility.
You're right. The innerwebs hasn't been the same since Gopher, Archie and Veronica ... ;)
