No problem.
It's a real problem for fuzzy logic. People have a misconception that its less accurate and random. As a result it has never (imho) gained the popularity that it deserves.
Please don't call this fuzzy logic.
Fuzzy logic is a generalization of traditional logic (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic) It is deterministic and NOT inherently random. Sure, you can add randomness to it, but adding randomness does NOT make something fuzzy logic.
The best reason I have seen so far as to why Apple/Google favor H.264 is because their current products have H.264 hardware encoders in them. Switching to ogg/theora would hit battery life hard in these devices since it would have to be done in software. While I agree that its a selfish reason, its a reason better then "cause we want it".
I would really like to see Theora succeed though, an open standard for web would be a beautiful thing
In my graduate level Neural Networks class (taught by a professor with MANY papers on the subject) we use "Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation"
The author is Simon Haykin.
More of an engineering approach to Neural Networks, but it is a good text none the less.
I can also be bought as a digital edition to save you some money
Its a campus job. I manage a couple of computer clusters. Its nothing special. The point was the documentation, not the pat on the back when I get to write that there are people "under me"
I am a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student. My on campus job required me to write a policies manual for the 40+ consultants that work under me. I learned real fast that I had to write this very explicity and that everything had to be spelled out, word for word, leaving nothing to interpretation.
Another thing that helped is documenting work that I am already doing. For example, writing up worklogs for projects (both work related and class related) for a class that requires a paper, not the class that assigned the project.
It may also help to work with publication standards. Passing out the IEEE standards for writing articles and saying that they are going to be graded based on this set of standards will at least give them direction to work towards.
I am amazed at some of the responses of you slashdotters...
These projects (expecially the medical ones) could yeild very amazing results. I don't know if they WILL but they COULD. Are you telling me that a cure for cancer or alzheimers (sp?) isn't worth a few cycles? Even if it runs at SUPER LOW priority and you still shut off you console when you are not using, multiply that time by the number of consoles sold and they would make a huge contribution.
Take off your tinfoil hats and do something for someone else for once.
The article starts by making it seem like if you call 911, then Microsoft can access the data. But the patent makes it seem more like its a new 911 system, simply built by Microsoft. If its a new system that works better, then in this case I will side with Microsoft and say good for them, the 911 system is innefficient in some places. On the other hand, if they can access private data...to hell with them.

But in order to get more the 4gigs of ram on that badboy with a single processor you will need a 64bit system since 32 bit system maxes at 4 gigs of ram.
This would result in crap films with good marketing getting lots of money, while good films with crap marketing getting no money. Consequently, the film industry, as an entity striving to make money, would pay less attention to the quality of the film, and more attention to the marketing of the film.
But, in regards to that, if we only see movies that critics enjoy then what stops the movie industry from just trying to appeal to critics, or pay people to look like critics? I think its interesting that you say that people making descisions for themselves is whats wrong with the movie industry.
If you go see a movie you don't like, but it does well anyway, so what? You just don't go see the other 9million films that are similar because you know they are made by the same people, same premise, same hype and you already proved you didn't like it.
But then what are you doing but making sure that the people who review movies make you go see the movies they want to go see?
We know that many critics are biased, so by listening to them aren't you also continuing to help churn out bad movies, but simply only the bad movies that based critics want you to see?
Has it gotten to the point where we don't even watch a movie to figure out if we like it?
How often are critics wrong?
Watch the movie for yourself and make up your own mind.
What I mean is that people are saying this and that about the worthyness of the statistics. They aren't concentrating on whats important to the article, more proof that there is competition in browsers again.
Even if the stats are off a bit, they will still show increase. And even if they are EXTREMELY off, the numbers put neccessary pressure on Microsoft.
I don't understand why everyone is so angry. I think we should all be happy that there is a strong alternative to IE and that its gaining ground. Competition for IE means inovation, and regardless of how pissed off you are about whatever, thats a good thing.
Less features does not mean less security holes. They had to add code to limit things. This code introduces new holes and (most likely) is less tested then the original code that has been patched for over a year.
It has the possibility to make it much worse
What you should do is write up a proposal that outlines how the switch from Windows to Linux will be relatively painless and will save $3 per machine. This will spark interest if your working with any kind of volume. The $2 dollar increase in modem will likly make no difference if you can show that a lowered pricetag.
But its not just $2, its -$3 (5-2) and a vendor change and an operating system change. Its not that the hardware doesn't work, its that it doesn't work in linux, thus making the operating system switch more difficult.

heh..I meant it was expensive. But I'm a college student who will work on someones computer for a pizza and a 2 liter of dew.

you were gonna charge the guy 30 to install it??

and by was I mean want
None of the caches will let me have it and I was to try to use it.
