You'd think when they charge you 10c per text message, that'd be something people reject. Especially when any random stranger can send you spam which you have to pay for.
I live in PA, and from what I hear, he had an inside man alter the software so he could hit time after time. The guy isn't innocent. The thing I typically hear people say is,"They shouldn't have taken so much money down at once or they wouldn't have got caught." My line of thinking is you shouldn't be cheating anyone even casinos.
I explored what would be needed to make AI almost a decade ago, and what I concluded is that we need good vision detection. With good vision detection and the ability to turn a camera, or array of camera's vision into 3d models and identify the objects in the scene means AI is mostly done. If a robot understands its surroundings, you can program it how to interact with its surroundings. Coding in natural language understanding is easy if you have your nouns(objects) already in place. I didn't feel like coding the 3d object recognition stuff myself because all I'd end up with is something hacky or maybe a proof of concept and it'd have taken me 15-20 years without pay. So I decided just to wait for someone else to make that tech. Finally looks like DARPA is, and I have emailed them in the past that they should:) If you wanna read some about how to make AI yourself, I have an 8 year old page here
I still want to revisit making AI, but I want to do it later in my life when there is more software technology readily available to the public or when I have enough money to support myself. There is no money in pure research for this. So I am making video games right now. Then after video games, I'll be doing education. One of the uses of AI is to educate others, but you don't need AI to create software/books to distribute to kids. AI brought me to realize I can help in the field of education. But anyway, for me, it is video games for cash, then education to help, and finally AI to automate stuff.
My biggest fear with AI is that any wealthy man can just buy a networked army of robots, and one man will have unquestioning, unlimited morale army.
That isn't exactly the same thing as I thought. The version I envisioned had advertisements embedded. The money used to help the poor comes from advertisers. Maybe they can add advertisers later so more rice could be donated with each question.
I'm a Christian and I don't think I'm better than others. We're all sinners in need of a savior. I just love everyone and hope people love me back. Even if people don't love me back, I still try to keep on loving them.
Has anyone ever thought of making a website where you watch nothing but advertisements with the knowledge that the money made for the website goes directly to feeding the poor?
If you're not all out altruistic, you could say 1/2 the money goes to the poor.
All you would need to do is throw in occasional captcha like mechanisms to make sure they're still watching behind their computer.
People would get a running tally of how much money they earned for the poor.
Not only does typing speed help, but once you realize long variable names slows your coding down, you can even optimize for that. Conventional wisdom says to write long variable names to aid with documentation, and I agree, but there is a trade off between speed of typing and long variable names also. The faster you type, and the faster your compiler, the quicker you can revise and test code. It does matter, but it isn't the biggest factor in coding.
Yes. There are discounted used games, and free indie games. The market says if you can get a substitute good for a lot less, you might go with it.
When there was nothing that compared to Super Mario Bros 1, people were willing to pay 50$ for it. If Super Mario Bros 1 debuted in 2011, it wouldn't make as much money as it did in 1985. People expect more now for less money. It is just how the market works.
I'm a video game developer myself, and I don't see anything wrong with this. I think it is a good thing. If all the games from 5+ years are available for free, the only thing people would buy would be sequels(games with more scope), or new and creative things. If the market saturates, it makes developers have to get more creative to find new genres and such.
I just discovered a puzzle game I wrote in Flash last year, and I'm letting people know it's there in case they want to play. I originally wrote this in C/C++, but then ported to Flash in order to learn the Flash language. Turns out Flash is almost identical to C/C++ except Flash is actually easier to code in. If you were wondering if you ever wanted to pick up Flash to do webgames and you know C/C++, do it!

It is actually rated for 8 year olds, but that is because they'll be ten years older before the game releases.

The problem is that anyone can do a cyber attack, steal a ton of money by scamming it. It isn't tough, it just requires a lack of morals.
If they're caught, some countries will not only refrain from punishing you, but they'll even congratulate for siphoning money from foreign countries.
I don't think there is a solution unless we had a world government... In which case we have a lot bigger problems facing us.
You could research new technologies, spy for new technologies, or get in a petty war with one other race to share all your technologies with them.
When I was a kid, I had a dog that could follow a parabolic trajectory.
Anyone else think,"Kids are so cruel they even throw dogs around."?
If you could mount it on a bird, the bird could tell worms to crawl into their bellies.

Capcom gave out a response that the games were due to coincidence? Wouldn't it have been better for them to say nothing at all?
Bill Clinton spent billions on a supercollider in Texas, and half way through its completion, he canceled the project.
The guy was an economic genius and what this country needs to get itself out of debt, but he failed in that situation.
Physics research can be greater than money because of the new discoveries it brings mankind, but all you know this.
