This makes the assumption that the game is a good enough simulation of violent behaviour to reinforce the actions involved in physical violent bahaviour. I seriously doubt that this is the case.
For many common day-to-day operations the loss of flexibility isnt worth it imho, many operations are inherently cpu intensive, global regex search and replace on large groups of large files for instance. I could see this bringing a server to its knees pretty quickly if enough users were doing enough complex operations.
What about large files? I often have need to edit text files in the order of hundreds of gigabytes. Some of these come from customers across the atlantic. Moving gigs of data across the trans atlantic pipes every time you autosave is going to add up for any business.
1 hour network outage on a site with 500 employees, you just lost 500 people hours.
The list goes on...

Yes, IP theft is rampart in Slashdot nowadays.
I agree and the crenelallation of apple fanbois too
The only problem is that live performances are only profitable for the biggest of bands. The majority of small-medium touring bands will do it at a cost to them.
Yes, and remember windows Me was a horrible failure and that didnt seem to bring microsoft to its knees. Also some products like Visual Studio simply have no competition, its so far ahead of other products on any OS/platform its not even funny.
Except that not many people would like to host your data for free just so you dont have to buy a HD. And no it owuldnt work if you offered to reciprocate storing their chunks because each person participating in the scheme would consume many times more data capacity than they contribute and I seriously doubt there are enough good samaritans willing to host terabytes of other peoples data at the expense of their storage and bandwidth for free.
Many researches publish drafts on their personal or institution pages which are available for free. There is of course the thought that if you are leveraging the research in the field to do professional chargeable work you should probably be contributing to the field, for example by paying for article access which subsidises publishing costs.
The only reason replacing the directorey makes sense is if you know something about filesystems, that you know a directory is just that, a directory of addresses keyed on filename.
A normal user these days knows about folders, not directories. This is a metaphor using a real object to abstract the process of dealing with their data. In the real world when you move one folder to another folder it is most definately NOT a destructive operation so why should a user expect a destructive operation from the underlying filesystem?
Although on the other hand of course in the real world there would be nothing to stop you putting 2 folders with the same name inside a parent, it probably wouldnt be that sensible to carry over that idea.
Yeah you'd have thought there would be better targets for their nit picking, for example I have never seen the word "loose" as frequently misused anywhere else.
Also the use of the word check:
check (verifying) = check
check (to pay with) = cheque
check (to indicate a preference) = tick
Nintendo cartidges are just one consumer example i can think of im sure there are many others. In military applications mario has to carry 80 lbs of equipment on his back making him unable to jump and smash bricks.
Im confused as to how the electoral roll know who my friends and colleagues are? Family perhaps (based on some assumptions about histories of common last name and common address perhaps but even then the data would have to go pretty far back)
CDs are convenient that you can play carpet hockey with them and still get a reasonable output, but that "error correction" is just approximating and filling gaps.
I thought it was a redundancy scheme (presumably something based around huffman encoding) so that the values of damaged bits could be inferred provided enough data isnt damaged. So you either get perfect reproduction or a glitch but not an approximation or filling of the gaps.
The problem of course isn't restricted to bandwidth. The CPU and memory demands of programs like photoshop are astronomical compared to say serving a dynamic content web page. And the slashdot effect is testament to the fact that a large number of server installations cant handle even that task under load.
I guess more realistically it'll be some kind of activeX control so all the actual crunching is done on the client anyway, but then you have to ask why add the extra layer of complexity and reliance on network connection?
From the abstract it looks like they are using neural nets simply as higher level approximations of the curve. Essentially just calculating higher order derivitives of position rather than using neural nets in a classification kind of way which what I would initially think of when it comes to neural nets.
I second this. C++ debugging in VS is a breeze. I work on several platforms and will try to debug on windows wherever I can exactly because I can use VS. Closest thing we have access to is Solaris workshop which is probably a decade behind. On many platforms we are restricted to command line debuggers:S
I agree with the first point but not with the second.
Anyone dealing with infectious agents of any kind, even supposedly harmless should do so under careful scrutiny and control. He obtained this fraudulently through a university official probably to give credence to the handling facilities at his disposal and his own expertise. Neither of which I would imagine to be substantial from the sort of idiot who think its fun to recreate germ warfare experiments for "art".
The goverment should come down on him like a ton of bricks, he could easily have got hold of something much more dangerous even unintentionally. Would you trust anyone on the street to make a judgement call about if a bacteria is harmless?

This is one of many reasons most people I know don't use their ISP email. Apart from the obvious one that it doesnt usually follow you across ISPs.
I have my work email for business / high priority stuff and web mail for my personal life, I thought this kind of setup was actually the norm.

The Fedora 8 on USB key sounds interesting but isnt mentioned in the document linked. Have you heard anything more about it?

If you're trying to produce an artificial intelligence to run the robot then the low level electronics aren't terribly important to you.
Unless your a behaviourist, or working on neural nets, or interested in embodied intelligence.

U was injured in last weeks reduction by parts of fig (iii) so this week we see an uncharacterstic appearance of rho.

You're talking about arithmetic not maths.
Id love to comentate on this...
..and here comes a late second half substitution....etc
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ is pretty decent, maybe a little formal but hey its maths
