Of course not...and why should they have by themselves? Neither will a computer function without an operating system.
I just think that a massive neural network would be a critical component of any artificially intelligent android. It would also, of course, require the correct topologies, proper algorithms, a more adequate understanding of the human brain (and then probably a model of that), massive computing power (quantum computer)?
I feel the same way. I scored considerably low on the SAT test because I also did not have enough time. I'm very careful when I write things, and I take my time to make sure I do things well; I'm a perfectionist. I care to put thought into what I write rather than just trying to regurgitate crap. This is not the best way in order to succeed in, for instance, the business world, but then again, much of the business world cuts corners to save time, and it ends up biting them in the behind. I've found that it's better to take time to plan and do things well.
The math brought me down as well. I did not have a strong math background, and no one ever stressed the importance of mathematics to me until it was far too late. I could have done better in the math section given more time. I can do basic math fine, but with advanced mathematics like calculus and linear algebra I can do it on my own if I have enough time to understand the problems, but I just don't operate well with it under stress.
How people manage to get 5+ malware applications running on their machines at once is beyond me. I (used to) run Windows XP with no Antivirus software installed and also no firewall besides the Windows "firewall," and I think once I got infected with anything.
I make web sites for a living, and I will not use Dreamweaver. Every single time - without an exception - anytime I have come across a web site developed using Dreamweaver (or any WYSIWYG editors for that matter) it is based on junk code.
When I make web sites, they are always 95% - 100% XHTML 1.0 and CSS compliant, so I now what I'm talking about. At work it slows us down tremendously when a web designer decides to deveop a site in Dreamweaver. It takes more time to fix things than to develop the whole site by hand. And I'll not even mention how long it takes to edit or add something new into the pages.
Until computers can literally think like humans can - and I truly believe they will, they will NEVER be able to produce web sites or computer programs at the same level of quality that a human can because it does not understand what the person is trying to do (e.g., establishing user-defined CSS classes).
I for one tried the Vista beta about 2 months ago and have since switched entirely over to Linux (Ubuntu). And trust me, I honestly have zero regrets.
And this startup sound crap...I am a night owl, and the walls in my house are thin. I don't need my damn OS making noise when I turn the computer on in the middle of night.
Is this just a set speed (e.g., 70Mph), or can it actually tell if the car is exceeding the current speed limit? How could it know what that is (didn't see it in TFA)?
What do you mean "first time?" They never got it right, any time. With Windows, anyway.
True.
And I was modded flaimbait - as I expected - but I have good reasons for posting what I did. Here are a few of them:
Microsoft does not very well follow common, tried and true programming concepts, such as encapsulation and layering. For instance, much of the time security in their application is handled at the application level rather than at a lower level - like the kernel. Then when their application bypasses the kernel (rather than letting it do it in its time) deadlock situations can (and often) occur.
There are things in the kernel that _do not_ belong there, like code dealing with graphics (I believe you can see graphics calls if you look at it in a hex editor).
They over overcomplicate things for developers (i.e., people that do not only know how to use a WYSIWYG editor). For instance, at work I ran into some VB code for an ASP application, and the vb file that handled the processing for one page was 3000+ lines long. In PHP, Perl,or Python I do not doubt that the same functionality could have been implemented in less than 500 lines.
The fact that Windows Vista requires a minimum of a 128MB video card for "decent" performance. This makes it so that everyone has to upgrade their computers every couple years.e
My point is this: if you are going to do a job, then Do IT RIGHT - and do it right the first time - or you have no business doing (or managing) it at all. Time crunch or not, don't do just enough so that it "works". Oh, you won't earn as much money if you take the time to do a good job, huh? I'm sorry, but that's just flat out laziness, and there is no excuse for that. If you learn and continue to do something the right way then you will get better and more efficient over time.
Computer scientists should just do things right the first time instead of producing crap (see this site for an example).
What if the power goes out?

This is interesting; however, what about when the electricity goes out? The POTS works when it is out, but a network like this relies on a constant power source.
In a mesh network like this using VoIP, is it still a good idea to still have the old system as a backup?
But even there (I assume this stores either permissions or preferences) you could have session variables that are associative arrays rather than objects.
Well that's some good info. I will keep those things in mind. I bought a JSP book a couple months ago thta I haven't looked at too much yet, so I'll look at that.
How long, might I ask, does it take on average for you - using JSP in the way you said - to develop a basic web site, say one like this one where, in addition to the normal company content, it lets you fill out an order form or send emails via a form (it has about 10 - 12 pages)?
What about using plain-old functions for the business logic and putting those functions in their appropriate library files? How is OO on a web site any better than this, besides possible naming conflicts?
For example: security-specific functions could go into a "security" library file, generic functions could go into a "general" library file, page-specific functions could go into a "pages" library file. Then you could do the same with business logic functions that do all your calculations.
Do you think this is pretty much the same as using an object-oriented approach, except that the functions are encapsulated in files rather than object classes?

Not sure what distro you're using, but AFAIK Ubuntu uses a crontab for this.

What do you think?
...is a massive neural network (IMHO).
I can confirm this. I tried doing this and the same thing happened to me - the web sites didn't show up like they did before. This was on Windows.
I'm running Linux (Ubuntu) now, and I installed IE4Linux, and that's seemed to work great. So once again Linux beat Microsoft at its own stuff.
You know, they have LEGO sharks already. They could put the lasers on those...
No, apparently you are as you keep raving about sexually-related matters. You seem to carry with you a sense of insecurity; carry on.
Troll.
Aparently you're an idiot and you do not have testicles.
That's all I want.
Measuring a person's abilities in mathematics, science, and literature are not always the best way to rate a person's overall ability.
Maybe it's cancer. Better get that checked out...

I never replied to this, so...
I knew because I periodically would run install and run an antivirus scanner just to see, and nothing ever turned up.

I bet a very complex, well-trained, and correctly structured neural network could (theoretically) handle this...

I guess I should look into that. What language do you use when you do OO?
