You fail to consider that these apes have been training in a secret Shaolin Temple located in the Congo. They have mastered the art of Shaolin Kung Fu and can flip out and kill anyone they want.
I agree. When I read all these articles about "AI", the description of the system doesn't even contain the essential word "learning". If all the system does is comparing two models, it is not learning. If it is not learning, it is not Intelligent. It doesn't even fall into the category of weak AI.
Well, considering that there are so many variation of a type of software (ie. calculator, edit, etc), I think this naming scheme is not "retarded" at all. This naming scheme is very useful in pin-pointing the exact software that one is referring to.
Making the QRIO skate is not really a big technological achievement considering that the leg motions have already been pre-programmed to get the robot to walk. It is really a matter of calculating the weights and trying to balance the robot while moving the legs to propel the robot.
Now, if they can program a neural network that changes the leg and arm movements in relation to a physics model, and have the robot learn how to walk and skate by trail-and-error, then I'd be more impressed. THAT is what we should aim for nowadays.
nobody will find it because they will be busy looking under the keyboard!
But what if they know that you will stick it to the monitor because they know that you know that they will be too busy looking under the keyboard? A ninja must read underneath the underneath. So it is best to put the post-it inside your pants. This plan is absolutely flawless except for one minor drawback: Retrieving the password might look suspicious to your coworkers.
I think the question is just a hypothetical situation -- assuming that it will run well.
For myself, I would definitely switch. Macs is supported by Blizzard and more big-name gaming companies than Linux. Because games is a huge driving force in increasing user-base, I believe that if Apple entered the OS market on x86 platforms, we might see an emergence of a new competitor, much like Firefox did to IE.

Using the bottom screen to look around is a really innovative approach to a mouse replacement. Not only can it be used in future console games, using a pen on a touch-screen sound like a good alternative to the mouse on the PC. I've seen peripherals like this on the PC before, but it doesn't seem to be catching on.
That is not really a solution. Your suggestion is a workaround that hinders users/developers because of a flaw in the software. Using this logic, we should all praise Microsoft and fault ourselves for crashing their buggy piles of junk.
I agree. From reading the article, it sounds like US is claiming Space to be theirs. One has to wonder, since Space is not 'claimed', if minerals or other materials in space become a sought-after commodity, will the US use their "space superiority" to strong-arm their dominance over those resources (aka. Microsoft)?
But what if the security guard was really a ninja in disguise? Then he can flip out and kill all the visitors, and then wail on a guitar that produces sonic waves to disarm all security systems, and then he can proceed to steal the artifacts. Conclusion: The security guard is the flaw of the system.
I can already tell that millions of Slashdot users are refreshing that auction page every minute eagerly awaiting the final seconds to place their bids. The counter is so borked, it doesn't just overflow, it just stopped working altogether.
Speaking of speech recognition, I recently called Telus and was surprised that I was directed to a service by a voice recognition system rather than the monotonous number inputs. As I've heard, Telus spent a lot of money on the system, and they don't want to scrap the project. Perhaps they can make use of IBM's technology.

Dear Mike the Corpse,
We are writing to inform you that there was an error in our system. The problem caused our system to send your after-death email prematurely. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Dear Mr. Shaw,
Why I don't know I write email to dead person? But thank you very much for kindly generousity. I very surprised to see one relative overseas.
Sincerely,

Since Slashdot readers aren't known for having a fashion sense, I think some "techno-congniscenti" thinking that a USB flash drive is fashionable, doesn't really make it fashionable.
Personally, I don't think wearing a USB thumb drives is very fashionable. Cords are pretty casual, but wearing cords with a USB thumb drive just doesn't work. I know a few models, and I assure you that they will never be caught with a tech device hung around their necks.

Sounds like those 300APM (Actions Per Minute) Korean StarCraft players can now have a real job. They need to out-source these jobs to Korea.
mplayer plays most video formats.
they even programmed it to recognise faces and a few words of japanese. You can instruct it verbally to follow you around, its quite an achievement.
Yeah, I found the image processing of the ASIMO to be quite amazing.

You should have patented the idea when you were a kid.

The solution is pretty simple
don't use frames

I can't wait for the episode where the Doom 3 Marine takes a rocket launcher (with unlimited ammo) and going postal in the Strangerhood.

I'm sorry, but those Supercomputers have nothing on my machine running Windows. It has a record of AlwaysFlops.
