  1. Re:Has the music gotten better? on Video Game Music Recognition Gets a Boost · · Score: 1

    They do play those old school tunes (e.g., Gauntlet, Tetris, Frogger, Super Mario Bros.), but with real music instruments to sound a lot better.

  2. Re:Is there an IRC chat bot? on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    Ick. Bad conversations. :P

  3. Re:Opportunity's Status? on Options Dwindling For Mars Spirit Rover · · Score: 1

    Cool and thanks. At least we still have a working rover. :)

  4. Opportunity's Status? on Options Dwindling For Mars Spirit Rover · · Score: 1

    What's the status on this rover? Is it OK?

  5. Kevin... on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    I tried to e-maik Kevin, the author at lenzo@cs.cmu.edu, but got it returned:

            SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO::
            host MX-LB-03.SRV.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.217.14]: 550 5.1.1 ... address not contained in directory, you cannot relay :(

    Your script is pretty old, from 2005. :( Got any examples of it running?

  7. Re:Is there an IRC chat bot? on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, is it me or I cannot find anything about its chat AI feature? I saw infobot years ago, but don't remember it doing anything like chat AI. I currently use Rbot (http://ruby-rbot.org/) as an infobot, host games (e.g, UNO, hangman, guess a word), etc.

  8. Re:Is there an IRC chat bot? on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    Thanks. Stupid newbie question: How do I install this for my Debian/Linux box to connect to an IRC chatroom? I don't see the instructions/howto. :(

  9. Re:Is there an IRC chat bot? on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    Where can I get a copy? Cleverbot author told me it is not available for download and not free. :(

  10. Is there an IRC chat bot? on CMU Web-Scraping Learns English, One Word At a Time · · Score: 1

    Is there one for IRC? :)

    Are there any good chat bots for IRC? I tried Seeborg (based on Alice), but it sucked. :( I wished rbot could do AI chatter.

  11. Re:This is shocking! on Code Used To Attack Google Now Public · · Score: 1

    I still use and have to support it. MS still also supports it. :(

  14. Re:GNU/Ubuntu on Boxee Opens Beta To All · · Score: 1

    How about Debian? I was told using Ubuntu's *.deb file is a bad idea in Debian even if Ubuntu is based on Debian. :(

  15. Re:Actually yes -- in some cases on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Why does that matter? I never had my own domains. I don't use AOL, Hotmail, etc. I wished I still had my unversity e-mail address, but they don't keep alumnus. :(

  16. Re:Mozilla has been floundering for a long time on Mozilla To Ditch Firefox Extensions? · · Score: 1

    "When Firefox was first released, it was a breath of fresh air -- a fast, effective browser that discarded the bloat which plagued Seamonkey."

    Have you tried v2? It is a lot better than Mozilla v1.x suite and SeaMonkey v1. I prefer having everything integrated like Web browser, e-mail, usenet/newsgroups, etc.

  17. Re:My brain/eyes are incompatible with 3D TV/movie on Hot Or Not — 3D TV · · Score: 1

    Nope, but my problem is that my eyes can't see 3D. :( The only time that worked was at Disneyland's Captain EO back in the 80s. Ever since then, nothing worked like Chuck: Third Dimension episode, SuperBowl TV ads., Rose Bowl parade over a decade ago or so, CA Adventure's Muppets Show, etc. :(

  18. Netflix subscription question. on Netflix Will Delay Renting New WB Releases · · Score: 1

    Does Netflix have an on-demand payment instead of subscription? I do not watch a lot of movies and TV shows to rent. From its Web site, it seems like I have to subscribe to download/rent stuff. :(

  19. Buy More on Best Buy $39.95 "Optimization" At Best a Waste of Money · · Score: 1

    No, you send them to Buy More.

    And FaceBook wants real datas too, no fake datas. I got booted off for using fake datas. :(

  21. Re:Didn't see Avatar... on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    I am an old fart too and turning one year old really soon. :( I enjoyed the movie even though I still couldn't see 3D effects with any television/TV shows (e.g., three Super Bowl TV ads., Chuck: The Third Dimension episode), shows (e.g., California Adventure's Muppets Show) stereograms (even my optomologist gave me that test and I failed it decades ago), etc. It seems like my eyes are jacked up when I was younger. They used to be able to see 3D like in Captain EO when thing were popping up from the screen! I read this old article about 3D and eyes. I guess my eyes are so bad (very near sighted; right eye is way worse than my left eye) for me to see 3D. 3D seems OK in real life world I think. :P It seems like no matter what 3D technologies used, 3D will not work.

    One thing that bugged me about the movie was the 3D glasses were frakkin' dark. When I saw the blurry video on screen, the colors were so pretty and bright! I will have to watch it again without 3D effects since 3D doesn't work with my eyes. :(

    I posted a brief review, with spoilers, and a poll about the movie on my Web site.
