  1. Is it hard to fake this video? on Cloned, Glow in the Dark Cats · · Score: 0

    There is a video on the right of this news story and they shut the lights on and off. Looks pretty real to me, but then again I don't know much about video. At least it isn't just a photoshop picture, but that doesn't mean these cats where injected with some sort of luminescent dye.

  2. Re:HDTV adopters screwed by HD-disc rules on HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters · · Score: 0

    How will Block Buster stay open if the disks only work on one HD-DVD player?

  3. Hire it Out on Home Network Data Storage Device · · Score: 0

    There are also services like http://www.dataprotection.com/ that start at $125 per month (what's your data worth!) You don't have to worry about hardware or your house being wiped out by the apocalypse, it will still be available. They take care of everything including the electric that a 4-hard-drive-RAID-Pentium 4 machine would drain. You don't have to worry about upgrades or where to store the stupid machine so its constant hum doesn't keep you up all hours of the afternoon.

  4. Re:The analysis is nonsense (doesn't matter) on Which CPU Is Tops in Price/Performance? · · Score: 0

    Your analysis doesn't make much since either when figuring cpu value.

    100 units / $600 = 0.667 units/$
    150 units / $900 = 0.667 units/$

    If I add my $1000 monitor to the equation that shouldn't change the proportion of cpu value between the two, right? But it does.

    100 units / $1600 = 0.063 units/$
    150 units / $1900 = 0.079 units/$

    Why would the CPU value increase more for the 150 unit machine than the 100 unit machine just by adding a monitor?

    Thanks, because I don't know what I'm talking about and never claimed I did...

    That would be like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Impossible? No, it would just take pratice...lots and lots and lots and ...

  8. We need Errors! Right? on Murphy's Law Rules NASA · · Score: 0

    When you make an error you eliminate a possibility out of the equation thus bringing you closer to a solution. You can't learn without making mistakes. Lots of AI is based on computers making mistakes.

    http://www.darwinmag.com/learn/curve/column.html?A rticleID=44 Explains: "A computer using AI to play chess, for example, has the ability to "learn" millions of possible moves, process them and make a choice. Witness Gary Kasparov's stunning defeat by IBM Corp.'s Deep Blue. The computer did not just mimic a memorized set of moves; it altered its strategy based on the results of the mistakes it made in previous games."

    Of course you could argue that humans wrote the code, that caused the computer to intentionally make a mistake therefore it is the human's fault, Wait? Do you call an intestinal mistake an error? Now I'm confused!

    Wait? Errors can be used to make a funny too! Did I make an error typing above or was it intentialy funny? Because farts are funny!

  9. 2 Drives + RAID = Faster? on Itty Bitty SCSI Hard Drive Arrives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It lookes like in the same space of a regular drive you could put two of these drives and RAID 0 them together. That would be a vast improvement in speed with the same amount of space.
