I'll agree that it is an empty review... but why is there this reigning idea that AI can only go so far?
I'm fairly confident that, like any other developing technology, it will come of age.
The problem is that (AFAIK) there isn't as much research going on in game AI as there is in other types of AI -- for instance, the numerical analysis and forecasting work I do at my university.
Maybe they can tie it into the concept of military training to justify the work...
Not only is the build easy, "ant" is 1 less letter than "make".
Seriously, though, you should check out how elegant Ant is before you throw stones.
Also, I'm sure since it is still a beta, an installer could be in the works for the release. Why don't you stop complaining and sign up to help write one?
If this is mostly for internal links on a company website, why not just have a 404 error handler that allows the user to select relevant content from the company website?
Or use the tool to find externally pointing dead links and send them to the same page?
Seems like randomly pointing elsewhere on the web with no human moderation is not too good of an idea...
Except that MaxOS X ties you down to their hardware almost exclusively. Weren't we talking about monopolies?
No of course we don't live in a utopia of any sort, and yes Microsoft has a lot of money. This does not make them automatically bad, and at one point they were also a small company.
That's simply not true. Microsoft does NOT force anyone's hand to use their software. Even on PCs that come with it, you can get a refund and install your own OS.
If something could actually match Windows in terms of usability, it would create big waves.
Of course, everything supporting Microsoft gets modded flamebait because it's easy to pick on the top dog.
I still don't get the antitrust claims. Microsoft isn't going all maffia on the competition. If you don't like them, make better software! IT'S A MARKET ECONOMY!
The article speaks of managed code as if it is a Bad Thing.
Sure, systems level code is sometimes necessary, but for normal application code and especially trusted computing initiatives, a VM is a must.
I don't think the point was to prove the robot was a creative, thinking individual... yet.
These robots are made to move... therefore they wanted to show it moving in a cool way... and this was a great P.R. stunt to do so. Personally I think it's pretty neat.

Just don't use any anti-bacterial soap before handling it! ::swish::
Arm your tin-foil hats! Even the PLANTS are listening!!
The whole point is that this is not an "early-adopter consumer crowd".
This is a crowd of developers/nerds/etc. who will probably patch and be smart enough to avoid most trouble on the 'net even with IE.
I know it gets brought up a lot, but what about the grandmothers, teenyboppers, etc.? They are the ones that need the extra safety net of Firefox.
Uh oh. The Beast has alsoinvaded the OSS world!
The goggles, they do nothing!
Oh wait, it's timothy. Move along, nothing to see here.
Ever hear of choosing a statistically significant sample?
... a site about gadgets might have visitors of a "nerdy" persuasion. What browser do you think they use?!
...
Let's see
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love it if it were really true
Is this a signal towards the end of the free coaster?
This means I can support something for my AOL friends now instead of trying to slice them up with their own 1,000,000 hours trial CD!

They make good software.

... when they start having to use them to pass along their website instead of HTTP.
Any bets on whether that image will involve George Lucas and a whip?
It seems to me all of this hubbub created by Linspire is only creating a bad rap for Linux by inviting constant litigation and controversy.
Yeah, it's still publicity, but when do they cross the line to just pissing everyone off?
Or will everyone just keep agreeing with these guerilla tactics because they "hate Microsoft"? Idiots.
Fanfiction conglomeration heaven - What I Didn't See was the Empire of Ice Cream because The Speed of Dark was too great.

So now nobody can use a word from language as a copyrighted company name? Uh oh. Bye-bye 90% of the corporate world!
