I like his part about the final decision on design lays on the person who steps up and actually does the code. Also it is important to know that if you code that you should keep up to date with new versions of stuff in case it breaks your old code because releases are the time they're prepared for that stuff, not years later.
Interesting. My state has a program where you can get an ID card if you don't drive. I just assumed they all did. My political website www.voteandnews.com was going to use drivers licences to determine if you are old enough to vote. I think that is a bad idea. Anyone have an idea of what I should use if I want to register people to have one login to one unique voter?
On top of this is the fact that R%D stuff is good to put into commercial practice. If this arm takes off, they can make new ones which will probably come at a lower cost. It is an investment in the future, and the people making the money are robotics people. The more work you can give to robotics people, the more skilled workers we'll have in the workforce. The benefits of having increased R&D are hard to measure.
Call me a conspiracy nut, but I always imagined that no one gets rich curing a disease when they can sell you pills over the course of your lifetime instead.
NES went from Atari2600 and arcades to a home system that finally allowed developers to do a full 2d game. If you were born before 1980 and you were a video game fanatic, you'd know the advances that the NES brought. Some NES games are fun today still, but people tend to walk away from the Atari 2600. Some people went from Intellivision,Colleco, or even the early days of the C64 to NES. Even so, NES was a huge jump forward in technology. If you want to argue, let me bring down the hammer: Today people are gaming all sorts of games across different genre and game stations. When the NES was out, it was the thing! All the kids would talk about what games they beat like status symbols, and you could trade games with your friends.
For the worst system: I played the Odessey on occassion, and overlaying different screens so you can switch from tennis, to ping pong, to air hockey was so lame it was sad. On the plus side, some versions of the Odessey came with a lightgun that looked like a.45 magnum because that was before the days where they put orange stripes on guns.
I hated the years when Visual Basic was thought to be a technical marvel. What were they thinking? And why do companies like to jump on every new thing without evaluating the good from the bad? Maybe some companies just think that everything that MS sends out is an upgrade.
Present them with a test who's difficulty is measured directly proportional with what it'd be rated in the IOCCC. At least that's the second most popular method behind having 10 years experience with in house software.
What if they did the opposite of what everyone thinks they'll do if a sizeable object is going to hit Earth? What if they detonate a nuke and reroute the asteroid to hit Mars? I think they wouldn't do it because the newspapers would say,"The government is aiming asteroids at planets, are they going to use them as weapons in the future?"
That's the first thing I thought of too. Dear Public,"We got shut off because our bills weren't paid on time." Not said to Public,"We paid them a day late and we're tapping again."
I get that a lot. Blind people still have a 3d imagination. They need to know where the doors are, where the stairs are, and where objects they use are. You need a 3d imagination space to have AI and that is the primary reason that past attempts at making AI have failed. I love to watch the advances in video card technology and the competition between NVIDIA and ATI because the more they work, the easier it will be to do AI, and all computer advances for that matter. I think I could start some basic AI with this 3d recognition software with the hardware of an average modern desktop. I think it is just a software problem and not necessarily a hardware one. We'll see. I'm going to keep in touch with this group and see if they let me use their software because I'm an unemployed coder and I might as well work on AI because some group has to do it. I'll make it an open source project in Source Forge and maybe extra coders will jump on.
AI needs a way of interpreting video input into 3d objects and environment. Once a computer can represent objects in a 3d environment, it can then perform operations on them. Technically you could make AI without this tool, but you'd have to do extremely precise and patient CAD inputs that would take most of your life. With a tool to convert video into 3d objects, you can just start cataloging all the objects out there. Add in a 3d physics simulator, and you're halfway to true AI. I have a quick overview on how to do AI, and as you'll note on the very beginning of the page: the reason I haven't worked on AI myself is that I can't code a video->3d object converter myself.
Cover near useless deserts with solar power then use the power to either convert to hydrogen, or just pump down the power lines. As energy prices rise and solar become more efficient and cheap, you should be able to do the cyclical thing. You know, spend X dollars for solar and land, then after selling energy off, you buy more solar and land. Better yet: go to the stock market and get your X dollars jump started. Once we cover deserts in solar then we start experimenting on solar panels in space to shoot microwaves down to earth. Eventually we get the a sort of Dyson sphere of solar panels out in space harvesting as much energy as we can from the sun. Of course this doesn't happen in our lifetime, but hasn't that always been one of a technophile's dreams?

This is to protect the recording industry.
Oh yeah, all the money we scammed from the family of Tolkien.
And over there is my intergalactic spaceship. And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wire.
See if Marvel lets you have the rights.

And will astronauts need to show theirs at NASA before they allow them off the globe?

In Soviet Russia, the door to a parallel universe finds us.
They could form into any shape. Maybe it could be both a doomsday device and villianess.
I sure hope Biclops gets some time in there.

You gotta be fast and smart to play real time strategy games. You need to micromanage and macro at the same time.
Video Trace as discussed on Slashdot earlier is what I've been waiting for since 2002 to make AI. FOSS AI

My first thought was,"Why can't I use the buttons in the game?" even though I never saw buttons used in any game.
Did Rockstar make State of Emergency before or after GTA3?
And let someone who knows what they're doing operate.
