new developments in hardware acceleration using AI. reminds me of homer simpson episode. Mepis Roolz. Saw this posted on scientific american years ago.
RIAA is the antichrist. Check here if slashdotted
M$ never had an original thought, Gates is the antichrist, Balmer is his evil minion. Linus said at a recent conference. Dude that made Goatse look mild.
One concern is that the folks may pervert the finding of this data to support one of two equally corrupt conclusions. One that finding a single lineage of all people (monogenism) endorses the Judeo-Christian beliefs in Adam & Eve. Or two that multiple sources of origin (polyenism) can justify racism - in that some lineages are "less" evolved than others. The dangers of these ideas are well documented by Louis Menand in his wonderful book "The Metaphysical Club"
Great story about Daphne Oram of the BBC RadioPhonics laboratory. She came up with a similarly inspired musical-thingy in the late 50's.
Albeit entirely analog (analogue?)

I know she's big money now - but she looks like wonder woman. She has the Stoicism of wonder woman and she can take a risk.
its sort of irrelevant to this discussion - but you guys know that WW is an Amazon - and Amazona is derived from Amastos - meaning women without breast(s). Presumed to mean that they ritually removed one breast so they could fire a bow and arrow better. Doubt that would make in the movie though
TiVo is great technology. But without any changes it will be suppplanted by cheaper more conveniet service from the cable/Sat providers. I suspect that a strong shot of glamour would help. TiVos today fade into the wall of consumer electronics.
If they could focus on a sexier image - like a MacMini or iPod for the TV. TiVo could become a style statement.
I am interested in what both the Supplier and the customer saw as the problem they were solving. I have not heard of any sensational missing student news stories.
Was there some promise of huge cost savings in having an automated school attendance system, doubtful.
This system would not be effective in child abductions, as it does not nothing to deter the bad guys. Why the time and money?
The corn industry lobbys the government to keep corn prices high.
The government pays farmers not to grow corn.
The MPAA could lobby the government to maintain the price of plastic disks with music.
The government pays me not to open my own bittorrent site....PROFIT!!!!
Genius is a dangerous thing you have to be very careful where you point it. When somebody does something great we so desperately want to apply it.
That we forget to think about where it should be applied.
the computer is a medium. According to McLuhan, a medium is anything that extends the hand of the creator. The computer is no more relevant to the creation of the art than the number of bristles on the paintbrush. You initiated the act of creating something. When a computer creates somehing of its own freewill(?) to satisfy its own desires of expression well then we cna debate over whether computer art is art.
"Commodification of Cool" was the line I remember attributed to Lester Bangs in Almost Famous. The music industry brands and delivers sound - the aesthetics is irrelevant. Popular music is not art. It never has been.
Britney Spears delivers music like Taco Bell delivers food. Its not the music its the package. If you want to get real food or real music you have to get inconvience yourself, turn off the car radio. and try something that might be diifferent.

The bio of Dr. John Sperling would qualify him as a slashdot favorite. Founder of University of Phoenix. Proponent of Medical Marijuana and all around iconoclast. He is *very* interesting guy with strong opinions and lots of money.
I learned this watching BBC on PBS. If your around something you think you should know, but dont. Just laugh knowingly and say "how amusing..."
This is also my plan faking it on slashdot, only prepending the appropriate acronym "BASH...how amusing"

Yes as the rats get older they get a noticeable aversion to needles
So what exactly do you do in the tank if I may ask?
