There are other problems than the one you mentioned of some people (non-visual learners?) straight-up not remembering this. Think about having to remember 10 of these, one for each online store. Not sure I could do that, or at least not easily.
Also, each "letter" in the password can't be getting a full 160,000 pixels of possibilities, as there has to be some space around each object or the objects would have to be defined. In reality, it would only be as many letters as distinct objects like cars or people, or as many "blobs" of "near enough" space around every user click. Then say that you remember 4 clicks. That sounds like a recipe for failure to a brute-force attacks. Am I missing something here?
I don't think you mean "fog of war." That is a term from real time and turn based strategy games that relates to what area of the map you have explored. I think you are talking about the clipping plane.
Related to this: as soon as a complex system is created to do a task successfully, that system is no longer called artificial intelligence anymore. It is called an expert system or some such.
If an average person from the 1960s used Microsoft's current automated telephone license authorization system or some of the more complicated chat bots, I think they would assume artificial intelligence was at least close to, if not totally, solved already. Not that what I would consider real A.I. has anything to do with such a system. I'm just saying that the term is poorly used and slippery.
This is what I consider a useful A.I. definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_AI. To paraphrase, a human level system that is capable of solving at least some problems that currently require a human's level of intelligence.
Not sure when you last got MSDN DVD/CDs (they are all DVDs now, I think), but they now come in those brown soft-sided shipping sleeves. A lot better packing job and a lot less waste.
If you want the real thing, try the original Grimm's Fairy Tales or the Blue and Red Fairy books. And wow are they dark. I think by the body count alone it is clear that the things people do in those stories are a bad idea.
If you buy a game, you transfer rights to the game developer that they can sue you for.
Shouldn't that be something like, "developers have rights under software licenses"? Wasn't that already the case with shrink-wrap and click-through terms of service? Is this somehow stronger than it was before the ruling?
People are coming up with some great books, but the parents of most pre-teens, or parents period, wouldn't approve.
For example: Ringworld, Snowcrash, Cryptonomicon, Neuromancer -- all of these have rather heavy sex scenes. Remember now, eh?
Forget the books with complex politics or the fact that Harry Potter isn't Sci-Fi; these kinds of books are the worst possible picks. Sex is the biggest problem in selecting for any pre-adult reading list. I don't care if less-than-13-years-olds read about perfectly natural human interactions like sex. In my opinion, it is better than reading about intense violence. And maybe my parents wouldn't have freaked at me reading them at 11, but most parents would.
My List: H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, Heinlein's youth oriented stuff, and The Hitchhikers Guide series.
I also actually read and understood that fluff piece of a non-answer. Unless his job is training soldiers to give web forum interviews that was a dodge. Here is a quote from the original post asking for questions:
This is the organization responsible for developing doctrine, materiel and training to prepare the Army for cyber-electronic engagements.
He needs to give real examples of what kinds of training they are actually working on. What is the area of responsibility for these doctrines? Is this about office work or battlefields? What is his group trying to achieve? Who is the enemy that they are preparing to fight?
There have been posts saying things like, they will be fighting China or Chinese hackers, they will be defending national computer networks from attack, they are a propaganda training center, or that they will be attacking U.S. and foreign civilian computer systems in response to some kind of threats. None of these sound like what he actually said or was implied by either article, so I'm looking for more information on this.
Maybe something about why people assume he is doing anything other than training soldiers in how to give website interviews or maybe send and receive emails. Which, if you read his comments, is all he actually said
What, specifically, would be a "cyber-electronic engagement".
Include examples.
Why didn't he answer the very first question he chose?
I read TFA (it was right there on the page) and the previous one asking for questions. Neither of those answered this question and neither did he. Anyone else have an idea what it is this person and his staff does in the U.S. Army?
They use camouflage or hide in distracting surroundings, possibly a long way away. You get electronics that help identify things that you are not biologically inclined to identify.
By using our greater intellect we can be better at both hiding and spotting than anything born in a million years.
Tell you what, I'll take a modern assault rifle and you can take along anything you biologically grew from millions of years of evolution.

Yes, but longslowgrindofcommonsense doesn't make for as good a tag.

I think you are a brave brave man to post without the anonymous box checked.

1) "What is that?" by khasim

Review the work of people in Strong AI projects, specifically AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

Next question is: why did all that research fail? Might not be one good answer.
Maybe that is the next project: teach a robot how to play bagpipes and see if it can learn why it shouldn't.
It is an arms race.
