This is purely a rationale for importing labor or exporting jobs. I have a BS/CS magna cum laude with graduate credit and plenty of work experience, and I can't find a job. When I can even FIND A FREAKING JOB LISTED SOMEWHERE much less get hired, maybe I'll change my tune.
And no, 2 month mercenary contracts on monster.com don't count as jobs. Such contract jobs are an excuse not to hire people full-time, since the H1Bs will be arriving shortly (they hope).
The university I attended was planning to field an entry, and I had considered briefly going into reinforcement AI, having taken courses with the prof doing the entry. I don't think these challenges are doing AI research any favors. The trick to winning is no doubt like IBM's chess machine--hardware engineering, brute force, and optimization, rather than better algorithms. You end up with degenerate research that improves diminishingly at sort of working on the contrived problem at hand.
Reinforcement AI has promise, but it seems to have too much hand-waving and magic black box functions for its own good. Unifying it with algorithmics and logic AI would probably be more useful, but not nearly as sexy as RoboJeep terrorizing the desert fauna. They should award points for the ability to project flame or ripcut undergrowth, now that would be bitchin'.
Wake me up when my WiMAX/Bluetooth cellphone/camera/PDA/GPS can use RFID with distributed hash tables to podcast via a Google proxy from my blog. Not that I have/use any of these.
As the Internet (and indeed world population) expands, more and more lost revenue opportunities due to piracy, and the increasing amount of patented and copyrighted intellectual property of inestimable (but oh so high) value, will result in record losses in Fake Revenue. Every crappy movie that gets torrented will result in billions of projected revenue loses, resulting in a world where losses exceed total global production. At this point, the world will declare bankrupcy, go into receivership, and be auctioned off to Martian interests.
With a Beowulf/Linux cluster and VoIP. Stick technology in anything and it is better.
If only my toilet paper had RFID or Bluetooth, I could tell when I was out, and my cell phone could order more TP from www.walmart.com. This would give me more time to set up MythTV and water-cool my monitor.
Since it isn't in the Bible, "absolutists" have deemed it a mere "theory" proposed by "scientists" who may not be "right". Besides, apparently Einstein was Jewish and not a Southern Baptist, and you know that the Southern Baptists have God's own word they are right.
If you embed data in the RFID tag, you might as well embed it on the DVD as regular data, since neither are "smart" data sources. This is just another stupid "let's jam this square peg in every damn hole" gimmick. RFID is nothing more than a bar code that is readable over short distances. How about we put RFID tags in our clothes, and a reader in our dresser, so it can tell us what to wear and what matches. HALLE-FREAKIN-LUJAH technology has SAVED US ALL!!!!!!!!!! pardon my enebriationalismz.
Microsoft could buy the government off to nationalize Mozilla and reprivatize it under Microsoft auspices. Think of it as eminent domain for intellectual property. However, Bill's too busy bribing the Chinese and Indian governments to care about the dying US market.
Remain at your computer, citizen, a friendly officer of the Truth Department will arrive shortly to assist you in correcting your doubleplus ungood attitude.
Mozilla needs to start claiming that Firefox is totally secure, that it accelerates your life, and that men in butterfly suits will spread fairy dust on you if you use Firefox.
His midichloridians are off the scale...the LOW end of the scale. I sense much fear, and fear leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering, and suffering leads to martyrdom, and martyrdom leads to apotheosis, and apotheosis leads to deification, and deification leads to Mormonism, and Mormonism leads to apostasy, and apostasy leads to uncertainty, and uncertainty leads to fear. Perhaps he can bring balance to the Skeptical Side of the Force.
...both articles and commentary. Is there nothing a poorly understood self-modifying matrix can't do? If it doesn't work, it means you need to wave your wand harder. "Klaatu barada... >cough"
This post-Generation X generation is not even capable of irony, which requires you to be clued in to some degree. The real problem is that they hire fresh idiot college graduates instead of people like me who might cost a little more but aren't totally clueless. I mean, my VB6 sk1lz are mad phat, yo.
These "neocons" are putting the "con" on conservatives big time. These people are actually fascists, who are a type of socialist--they just prefer welfare be only for the rich.
I agree...these laws are tools of repression, much like how the Jews were simply a means to empower Hitler. In this case, it's not Hitler being empowered, but the oligarchs.
Check out the CIA World Factbook, GINI index--the US has one of the worst wealth disparities of "civilized" countries. It's all about the benjamins, baby.
...for a thin client type setup. Certainly not for server stuff, but for client farms. It's amazing how people steal my ideas when I take off the foil hat. I can only assume that a major theoretical discovery in CS will be announced shortly. Oh yeah, and someone else will win the lottery.

You can overclock it in software using -funroll-loops and -O9.

Oh yes--improve life to any discernable degree.

Just check the one box on the ballot. Unchecked boxes or lost ballots will result in forfeiture of life and limb.

BTW, in Korea, only old people reference obsolete memes.
Phenomena such as this often fail to manifest in the presence of skeptics. I suggest we hold a prayer vigil to ensure their success.

"Capitalist" refers to their preference for capital punishment, i.e., kill the working class.
I can only hope I make it into Canada before they close their borders.

Why, I believe I'm qualified in these fields. Mostly the latter, though.
Since C++ is a superset, you don't even have to change the code, just change the extension to .cpp

We must keep the focus of our rage for 9/11 against the real enemy, ourselves.
