You could use this to make an array of "Beams" pointing to the corresponding area you want different channels of sound to be heard. It works by using ultrasonic sound (which is much more directional) to create interference (the signal we want) in a given area. Interesting technology.
Uhm, yeah, the age of consent varies widly state to state too. In Michigan for example, the age of consent is 16, as Section 750.520e (criminal sexual misconduct law) states: "That other person is at least 13 years of age and under 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older than that other person ". So a 17 year old could "legally" have sex with a 13 year old. 18 with 14, 19 with a 15 year old, 89 with 16 year old.

P.S. I know this information from a joke with a friend of mine, where it was illegal for him to have sex in wisconson with his girlfried (he is 18, she is 17, 18 or below illegal in wisconson) but could in michigan.
You mean this little black box did in a few years what took the (then) strongest computer in the universe millions to do? Why the hell do we need earth to figure out "the question", just use this little guy!
Why would you want it in a mac? It doesnt even come with a wheel. I suppose you could always go out and get your 6-pedal + wheel upgrade, though apparently, novice drivers prefer the one-pedal design.
But with those portable TV's, all they do is TV, so why would you want to lug around something that could only do TV? The more appropriate question would be to ask: how often do you wish you had a portable TV on you? I don't know about you, but there have been times where I was bored to tears and would have killed to watch an eipisode of the simpsons to pass the time, but not badly enough to purchase a mini-TV and carry it around with me just in case. Looks like I'll just have to sit tight and be bored. oh wait... i have my cell on me. . .
You are absolutely right. Drawing a line will become a problem. I personally hope that Lycos continues this program, and that someone eventually sues. The government needs to step in and solve the spam issue. With lycos going all vigilante, it forces the government to address what it has long ignored. In my opinion, if the government sees a certain site protected under the law such as freedom of speech, then you cannot spam it. If it finds a site's business practices unethical and/or tries to shut it down, let the populus help. My main concern is for overseas spammers, where our government has no control. In the end, you could have the user select what they wanted to "attack", afterall, it is their bandwidth they are "legitimately" using.
So. ..Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun, and I am currently a lot closer to the Earth than any other planet, does that make it also "Close encounters of the third kind" or would it not qualify because it is more permanent and not quite an "encounter"?
And don't speak me about the "walking stick" the ".1" channel is. If the quality was there, we would have 5 real channels of pure full-frequency range sound, including low frequencies
Except your ears/brain cannot detect the direction of a low frequency sound, therefore, it makes more sense just to consolidate the low frequencies into one channel.
Actually, i believe you are right, I am a happier person when I sleep from 8 AM to 5 PM. Ironically, i go to sleep just after the sun comes up usually. Seems to work well for me, a friend of mine is the same way, we hang out all the time from 2am to 5am usually. Except now im gettin my lazy ass a job, 5AM to 5PM. . . I wish i could get a graveyard shift job, i would be happier and making more money, 2 birds w/ one stone.
no, definately not, having identical engines on the same computer can result in completely different games. It comes down to processing power, hash table size, and the actual structure of the engine. In this tournament they put all the engines on identical comptuers, so its the architecture of the engine that is tested.
True, except human players can make simple mistakes. A computer never makes a mistake, it just only looks so far. Deep Fritz 8 has beatten Kasporov. I mean, if you can evaluate 2.4 million positions a second (i can on my dually) there does come a point where a human player cant keep up, what if that were 24 million, 240 million? Computers dont have finite limits like a person. It used to take a super computer to even compete with a GM (grandmaster) now the average home computer can give him a run for his money.
Yay, nothin like a room of computers brute forcing millions of chess positions to see which one is the best chess player out there. Whats next, computers playing backgammon,chineese checkers?. . . oh wait. . Meh, i love this stuff, i put Deep Fritz 8 up on yahoo on my dual athlon 3000+. . . i love always winning.
Seriously, i dont think Dell has what it takes when it comes to build gaming pc's, neither does hp. Alienware, falcon, etc already have this niche, Dell simply cannot comete with their OEM motherboards and locked FSB.
Wow, because this neural net has like 10 nodes, and the average human brain a few billion. I made a chess engine, to me thats a lot smarter than traffic handling, and it doesnt use neural nets. . ..i would say we are a little ways off from making true AI. now a distributed neural net. . . thats interesting. . .
Of course, and following that is a charity tax (after eliminating deduction of course) and a general waste of time tax, if you arent producing anything, the government looses money, so its in their best interest to charge you a tax for doing nothing.
I believe so, though their programming technique may not be in c++, but rather, a neural net. Basically this emulates the human brain, but does it in 1's and 0's. The more often a certain "circuit" is used, the stronger the connections become, and the more likely it is to fire. Conversely, the weak ones are pruned away. By exposing it to a certain situation, and "rewarding" it when it makes a correct decesion, you are teaching the computer. For instance if the you have a program to play backgammon, you save the net when it wins, and revert to the old one when it looses. Kinda forcing it to evolve into a good backgammon engine. I think that the only thing limiting us from using neural nets to create AI is neural density. A neural-net backgammon game will beat its brute-force counterpart anyday. However it takes the entire neural net to do that, there are only a few thousand nodes. The human brain has billions of nodes, and trillions of connections. So i guess u could say we got AI already, its just 0.00000001% of what the human brain is capable of. Frankly im surprised the thing can play backgammon at all.
ah, that may be true, but thats only across a short distance. You could hook up the procs from that distance and get insane rates. Those birds sent it 100 km. If i fedex'd 50 TB tapes overnight, thats 1.158 GBytes/sec. . . . anywhere in the US. Thats prety nice.
Canadian geese fly at decent speeds as well, but what sets them apart is their stamina. They migrate from from canada to the equitorial regions without taking a break. They practically invented the V as well, and their necks are built for stability and control. You would want canadian geese for long distance communications, and probably something like ducks or sparrows even (they are fast little buggers). Oh and btw, never underestimate the bandwidth of a fedex truck filled with 1TB tapes.
Mining asteroids could be very profitable. We could find an asteroid with a large amount of an expensive/rare metal, gold, gallium(used in GASFETS, a transistor), pretty much anything. What makes it so profitable is that its extremely concentrated. You can run into huge chunks of metals which make it less like mining, and more like ripping a chunk of the asteroid off to take home. But again, since no one has pioneered this methodology, it has remained a theory noone is willing to test.
That just got me thinking. When you use kazaa or somethin like it, you are allowing anyone on the kazaa network to download the files. Couldn't kazaa restrict access from those who work for the RIAA or something? I know it sounds crazy, but there has to be a way of legally restricing the RIAA from a network. At the very least it would slow them down. In the mean time I'm experimenting with designing a network with complete annonymity, though its horribly inneficient. I have to do some research into the bittorrent protocol.

Actually, this incident was a demonstration of a new feature; that's how the rover was supposed to operate.
P.S. Its now also an industry standard

wouldnt that be "cat file > /dev/dsp"? The device depends on whether your running alsa or oss or some other sound service.

It is either an inchworm, or a leech. Catapillars have legs all through their body. I think its a leech.

. . .developing in Java is a delight.

Though I do program in java and think it can be useful, I am not going to dignify that statement with a response. .
Oh crap. . .
make bin laden executable, so we can get rid of him once and for all, atleast, thats my interpretation. Its a pun :P
