The dazzling airshow is an important demonstration of "apprenticeship learning," in which robots learn by observing an expert, rather than by having software engineers peck away at their keyboards in an attempt to write instructions from scratch.
This sounds like any automated testing tool I've ever used. I can either take the time to "peck away" at my keyboard and script the task by hannd. Or I can put it into "record mode" and have it record my mouse cilcks / keyboard clicks. This sounds like the same thing and pretty easy to accomplish with a fly-by-wire controller.
I've sold three domains I was legitimately using and made a pretty nice wad of cash.
I registered a domain name about 6 years ago with the intent of starting a company that offered a service pertinent to the domain. It was a mashup of two words that I created myself. About 3 months after registering it I got an email from someone in Israel asking me if I would consider selling it. My response was along the lines of, "No, I hadn't considered selling it but so that I can compare with what I had planned to do with it, could you let me know your offer?" He came back and said $1,000. That is not a lot of money, but I had a pipeline of about 20 other web projects in front of the one I was considering for this domain so I took it.
We did an escrow.com jobby and everything worked flawlessly.
Why not combine them? Mug elderly women who are victims of Hurricane Gustav! They're more likely to be carrying a larger percentage of their worldly possessions as they flee.
I registered these domains (proactively) to keep them OUT of the scammer's hands.
So, he registers domains like Microsoft registers "defensive" patents. With no motive of profit and solely for the public good. Now if we could only manage to register the infinite remaining possible Gustav domains (ex: gustav-donations.org), we should be all set.
go over your bank statements line-by-line every month, and question anything that looks funny
Or you could just compare expected balances. You know, I started with X, authorized Y debits and now should have Z. If balance ~ equals Z, no need to go line by line.
Sure, it royally sucks if someone made off with your money. But the account holder has some responsibility, wouldn't you agree? If someone is siphoning money out of my account for 15 months, I'd definitely notice and report it in the first month.
Of course, other people might not watch their finances as closely but what's reasonable? I think after 15 months of not noticing an amount that slowly grew to $300k missing, then your bank is not the only one at fault.
By reading this comment, you agree to send me $50 via PayPal and let me sleep with your most attractive female relative over the age of 18. If you do not agree to these terms, do not read this comment.
Isn't AT&T's service agreement just as silly? The judge in the case appears to think so.
If the FBI writes a letter to an ISP to investigate possible criminal activity done by one of their customers through that ISP, it makes sense that the ISP shouldn't be allowed to tell the target they're being investigated.
However... 200,000 letters in less than 4 years and 97% of them received gag orders? That's just plain ridiculous. It's a classic example of an organization receiving power and then abusing it.
Other countries wouldn't have a problem with routing their traffic through the United States if we had good public relations...
"For every packet your country sends through the U.S., you will automatically be entered in a drawing for one of your citizens to win an all-expenses paid trip to exotic, sunny Cuba!"
Their program, Ecorio, gives users the ability to reduce their environmental footprint with tools that provide transit options for trips, invest in carbon reduction projects, and share their tips with other users.
I invented a diesel engine that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and plays an airhorn reminding people to turn out their lights when not in use. I'm now seriously considering throwing out my current cell phone so I can buy an Android-enabled phone so I can run Ecorio and find out how I can be more environmentally responsible.
In other news, the IRS reports that they are finally cracking down on long-time tax evader Betty Ostergren for failure to report as income the $10 her grandmother gave her in a birthday card in 2005. Ms. Ostergren faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $300,000.
Creating 3D maps and worlds can be extremely labor intensive and time consuming.
Bah! I completed my last project in exactly 6 days and used nothing but voice commands. It turned out so well I sat on my couch and ate Cheetos the entire next day. Today, there are over 6 billion users and we're only now starting to run into scalability issues.
A better question: Why were you dating someone who couldn't even READ?
Sorry for the misunderstanding. She could read. However, she occasionally misread something. I know that's an unusual trait in humans and that most humands are perfect.
I checked out this thread just to suggest this exact feature that is critically needed. I hate that expert sex change site.
Speaking of technical names that are easily misunderstood... I was studying for a certification test and had a CD for TransCender practice tests sitting on my desk. My girlfriend at the time gave me the weirdest look and asked, "Why do you have a Transgender DVD on your desk?"
The transponder doesn't do challenge response, it just spews out an ID number when polled?
Yes, that is the case. This is just like the real world though... The other day I was walking down a street in downtown Philadelphia with a notebook in my hand and I asked everyone I passed, "Hello, what is your social security number?". Each person was more than happy to give me theirs. My little experiment even found a flaw in the SS system. Would you believe that the stupid SS office accidentally gave hundreds of people the number "123456789"? Idiots!
So, you see - there's no security risk to this design whatsoever.
If they continue to follow the play book, next they'll drop several additional previously planned features and end by hiring a 90's sitcom star to convince people their product isn't as bad as they think.
Among the 13,500 scanned pages are 1,500 different language versions of Genesis 1-3
I'm sure they picked bible passages because the translations were mostly done for them already but I'm a little embarassed that future generations are going to think how amazingly superstitious we were. I mean, Genesis 2 alone...
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Don't blame me - I actually took 5 minutes to write up a whole function only to discover the stupid Slashdot filter won't let you post source code (Use less funny characters it tells you).
So I had to greatly (and I mean greatly) abbreviate the joke. Now that I've explained it, I'm sure it's 100x funnier.
This new comment system is really messing with my head. I need to sign off now. Can we go back to Slashdot 2005?

Why not mug elderly women on the streets too

Sure, the GPU might be faulty but the rest of the components on their graphics cards (cooling fan, PCI-Express connector) are not showing any issues.
So let's not blow this out of proportion.
I actually laughed out loud.
Can the states force the credit reporting agencies to allow citizens to lock their credit reports?

This is already available, and it's free. Just like opting out of marketing offers.
