  1. Re:Another salvo on Music Industry P2P Claims Dismantled · · Score: 1

    Some people will eventually replace their downloaded mp3 collection when they have the money they don't currently have. A real cd with its cover has some social added value (for those who have a social life).

  2. Re:Google's new math: What is 1/0 ? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    Therefore I'm god, or the pope, or both.

    But Google is not god: (10^2)! is not displayed entirely and (10^3)! fails.

    I look forward to the day when Google gives real calculation power for free like:

    isprime(10^43452352134552+1)

  3. Re:Some random mindpixels... on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem to be AI to me at all. Just some statistical tool based on human knowledge. I don't deny that there might be some applications but: "the database so constructed could be used in conjunction with a neural net" How so? It feels like you're going to glue two things that should have been made one from the start.

  4. Re:Topology Text on Math Awareness Month · · Score: 1

    I agree. This book is wonderful, and it's free!! I can't help but compare it to books by Rudin which cost more than 100$. They're great, but hardly affordable. On algebra, Serge Lang's Algebra is said to be the best; so far, I haven't found any that I like (got my worst grade in Galois Theory).
