stop complaining and get started! =)
Actually this is being done in many places already, for exactly the same reason as the grandparent wrote about. A quick 5-6 digit passphrase (alphanumeric) should be enough security combined with a fingerprint.
sadly, I think an italian news source picked up on his "manifesto" and had them on their tv news program. I dont feel like searching through the links, but there is a picture of him on tv, found in a site from a link at the bottom of the main "manifesto" page.
sad.
And since the "only way to get the word out in this world is using English" then, if this "kid" had any sensibility, he would have found someone competent in English to translate it. Sure its not fun to make fun of someone's poor English, but its a blast to make fun of stupidity, and the tone of this "manifesto" reeks of it.
its times like these where the true idiots, like yourself, find the need to politicize a tragedy. you wasted no time in reiterating what you heard the liberal talking-heads say on tv lastnight. Your numbers dont make sense either, much of the iraq money was spent on reconstruction, for destruction caused by the war and caused by saddam: schools, police training, formation of a democratic government, etc..etc..
nice going, asshat.
Since when was open source about putting corporations (albeit Microsoft) out of business? From what i've learned, OSS is about *open source* - able to have access to source code to modifiy-it/fix-it/do-anything to make it better.
If KDE (from what Seigo says) is just about making sure every last Microsoft user spits on Gates and pours over to Linux/KDE, then they're fighting a battle they will not and should not win.
Well, the article doesn't state what search method he used. There are many AI search methods which use trees to explore possible moves. Breadth-first-search will give an optimal solution but will take the longest time to compute, this tree will also be broad but not necessarily long in depth. Depth-first-search will be long in depth but will probably be fairly lobsided.
My guess is that he used BFS and just brute-forcely tried as many shape combinations that he could (given a reasonable amount of time, because BFS is ass slow). Then he just picked the shape combination that yielded the tree with the longest depth... but who knows =)
The Economist needs to do some research on current AI practices.. in particular, that of which taught in a beginning AI course at any university. The puzzle presented in the article can be solved easily using a variety of basic AI heuristic search algorithms. A* and its varients come to mind. I fail to see the significance of this guys program when people in my beginners AI class do this stuff for course projects every semester.

Over thousands of years women have been treated as the 'lesser' beings, unable to vote, own land, etc.. etc.. etc. But I dont remember ever hearing about women quoting a disclaimer, a EULA, or the lack-therof. Instead, women have empowered themselves and have won liberation.
If these women want to be treated "equally" during a time (Ancient Egypt) where the game most likely accurately portrays them as "unequal", then they should be playing the game as women have been subject to sufferage for many years. Keep the whining, the finger-pointing, and the who-said-whats in the game where it is meant to be and work it out in there. After all, its a game, so my advice to these women is: WIN!
Good timing by one of the senate's most liberal politicians. Dan Rather could make great use of this.

i would have to disagree, mainly because lucas (and his influence on the director) would then just focus on battle scenes and special effects, ya know-all the crap that made the episodes I & II well.. shitty.
I hope that good dialog and some decent drama make its way into these shows, else they are nothing more than rehashes of the cliche star-wars battle scenes.

which will probably happen before a slashdot user ever creates human life.
