Yup. At least they're doing something new and interesting instead of trying to enlarge my P3N!$, or send a high ranking official in Nigeria my money. I hate spam as much as the next guy, but a least this is fucking different.
Science should be open to everything - including the unmeasurable and unexplainable.
Science is open to everything. It's just that every time something supernatural is tested by science, it turns out that it works no better than random chance. After a while, people who want to get things done move on, while those who are trying to prove their beliefs continue to beat a dead horse and claim that it's the all the "other" scientist who are biased against them.
Relax, if all of this supernatural stuff is true, eventually it will be proven. What I find strange though is that God, ghosts, and all other manner of such things are so afraid of the laboratory. I've been in one and I wasn't scared 8^)
Here we go again with the picked on theme the Christians keep beating to death. Don't you guys ever tire of telling each other how much society is oppressing you by not allowing you to teach your religion in our public schools, or not letting you force your "morality" down the rest of our throats. It's especially ironic considering you're the ones in power.
artificial intelligence is always defined as whatever a machine cannot do yet.
I wish I had mod points, you are exactly right. It's funny how people forget that what was once thought to be something only a human could do, if a machine is able to do that task better, then of course the machine could do it better. After all, that is what it was designed for.
See, it's TFOGs (The Fucking Other Guys) that suck to work for, and here's why. blah, blah, blah startup, blah, blah, too big, blah, no catered lunch, etc, etc...
Later, changes jobs.

myself when I was new on the internet. I didn't know at first that the unsubscribe on the bottom of the email was just a way to verify that it was a live address, so I got lots.
What I decided was that the companies that were paying for the spam must like it, so I would click on the link in the spam, find their customer service email and copy it. Then I went to google and entered "subscribe enter email". After that I spent quite a lot of hours signing these companies up for all kinds of email. I hope they liked it. When I had to put in a name I entered Spam War.
Never. If your livelyhood was threatened by by changing global economic dynamics, at what point would you be satisfied by government intervention? Especially when that intervention will always be ineffective?
Really what they are going to succeed in doing is continuing the decline of the United States as a global power relative to other countries through restrictive trade practices and strong arm tactics to the point where the U.S. will not be the preferred trading partner because of all of the baggage that comes with it.
You know what I think is really weird: when a seemingly intelligent, technically literate person thinks about the future given a change in X (in this case ageing), and holds everything else as a constant. Think about it, if the technology arises that allows humans to live an extremely long time don't you think that all of the other technologies will continue to change at an ever accelerating rate? What would cause the change to all of a sudden stop? (Yes, yes, I know, sigmoid curves and all that but take the human brain as a base case that is already shown to be technologically achievable, and we've still got a ways to go.)
If you think politics move slowly today, just imagine what it would be like if not only politicians are old, but also the majority of their voters with enhanced minds capable of the flexibility and agility befitting a post-human culture. It used to be that the past and the future looked the same as regards to history, but I think that the rapid pace of technological innovation has nullified at least part of that notion. As someone one said "the future aint what it used to be."
Maybe this shock will wake up some people. Maybe the inevitable memorials will spark a renewal of the rebellious spirit. Don't I wish.
Probably what will happen is that we will see a bunch of cartoons showing him at the pearly gates or some other similar such nonsense with commentators saying "Godspeed Carlin" or some other such bullshit. And then most will go back to watching sports and not worry any more about it.
Ho ho ho, those silly AI researchers. Anyone with a brain (not their AI haha) knows that evolution has produced the pinnacle of intelligence with it's intelligent design. Along with the best flying machines, land traveling machines, ocean going machines, chess players, mining machines, war machines, space faring machines, etc, etc, etc. Will they never stop trying to best evolution only to be shown up time and again?
As the article points out, Prince seems to have a love-hate relationship with the Interwebs. Yeah like I love this web stuff, it makes me lot of money Later... I hate this web stuff, these Intellectual Property burglars are taking food right out of my childrens mouths. WHAAA
The fact that they are not implemented yet, is simply because most p2p-apps/networks don't want to start an arms race. The arms race started with the end of Napster.
but this is why we have one of our operator's desktops totally disconnected from regular TCP/IP networks. It communicates to the rest of the system through PROFIBUS, which would be difficult to hack. If we need to run and all hell is breaking loose (virii, hackers, etc.) we just disconnect from the rest of the world and run. We will lose historical data and remote access, but if we're running the rest is just gravy.
Slashdot Mirror
Aside from the fact that YOU are their ancestor, not they yours, unless you assume they used time travel:
The first goddam time in my life when I fuck up, and you AC, have to point it out to me.
Thanks.
Just kidding 8^), you're right.
What would you think if you stumbled across a warning from humans that existed 10,000 years ago? Think about it, 10,000 years ...
...
Wow, my ancestors are trying to warn me of danger, I must be careful.
Or more likely
Those silly ancestors, thinking that I wouldn't know anything that they don't.
nothing like ripping out promised content and abilities to make it to release. why not let it cook a bit longer and not pull a flaghsipp'n?
Yeah, great idea! Let's see, where have I heard this before ... DNF.

I know it's cool to hate Christianity right now

and C and C++ are all good languages, but I like C@!&$. It's the $h!7.
I thought that this was the reason that most slashdotters don't RTFA. At least that's my reasoning :P

I wonder if Google Trends can spot this?

In essence, they are selling us down the river.

I say make 'em type in the ip address. That'll get rid of that hodge-podge lickety split. Now get off my lawn!
Ya. And this'll just piss off your wife (yes I know I'm on Slashdot) when she types in goo.. and up pops www.google.boobs

Sources say that besides computitng power, DNF is waiting for the holographic display.
Wow, I'm waiting for that display too!
How about Anatomy of a slashdotted server?

See, this just proves that Wired caused the rise in the Storm botnet.
