  2. Re:Cumulative video game response on The Human Mind is a Bayes Logic Machine · · Score: 1

    This sort of reminds me of an experiment that is taking place (cant remember where I read it..) which consists of black boxes that are random generators that spit out zeros and ones; they are located around the world and connect to a central point which averages out the "numbers" and prints a graph of a deviation from the expected null (equal amounts of ones and zeros). This analysis makes reference to the discovery of spikes on such graphs relating to traumatic world events.
    They work on the funda that we have a "mental field" or "thought forms" or "thought messages". These are in a way picked up by these boxes, which can then see into the future...
    IIRC they picke up a spike just before 9/11

    Hold it!
    Dont forget the Indian stock exchange!!! Not only is it scaling new heights and breaking all past records.. most big-wig financial power-houses are giving investors (FDI and local) the green signal and predicting massive growth, which as of now seems unstoppable.

  13. India is where the action is... on Summer Internships - The Good, and the Bad? · · Score: 1
    I am a student, and am currently internin at Intel, which has a development center based at Bangalore, India. Judging by the kind of work that is going on here, and the activities that happen, I can definitely say that India is the place to be.

    Previously I have interned at a Consultancy in Eastern Europe, and I can also say from experience that there too a lot of intersting work is being done. Its just that it doesnt come up that often in the news..

    And as it has already been proven, [http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08 /08/208226&tid=215&tid=1&tid=137] India is not the place for just ousourced work, or call centers.

    Hi!

    Question for parent -

    sorry for the late post.. I was trying to get your email address, but was unable to.

    You said -

    The funny part is, QC isn't even a good solution to key distribution. Its physical requirements are costly, stringent, and limiting. Unless you're an ultra-cautious damn-the-expense client like the US govt, there are more cost effective ways to exchange keys, and much better ways to improve your data's security.

    I am curious, if QC is not, then WHAT IS a good solution to key distribution??
