Oh no, we should absolutely be looking at this technology. I'm just saying that we have a pretty long way to go to get there. It would be really fantastic if I could take a nap while riding in my car to work.
I have to say that really good AI is most likely the next big thing in computers. It's a really complex problem though. Then you have pattern recognition on top of that. Just getting a computer to recognize a face is a difficult task that only has a certain percentage of accuracy.
There are an awful lot of streets that do not have white lines, or have cars parked on both sides so that there is really only 1 real lane for traffic even though its a 2 way street. What does it do when it reaches an obstacle that avoiding it requires you to break the rules?
You would needs some serious AI and pattern recognition to really replace drivers. There is just too much that can go wrong.
Most real estate agents are bored housewives looking for something to do with their time after the kids can take care of themselves. These are the ones who make $20-35K a year selling real estate. They just look like they're doing well because their husband bought them a nice car to drive around to sell real estate.
There are some who really do it for a living and can make a ton of money if they are good at it, willing to spend ALL of their time doing it, and are lucky.
Real estate agents are not taking home $20,000 on the sale of one house. They get a small fraction of the commission. Most real estate agents are lucky to make that in a whole year if they only work normal office hours. That job requires far too much time for what you get back, especially weekend time which is when most people want to look.
Why does it matter to most people? How many people *REALLY* upgrade just the CPU? It usually doesn't make much sense to do it anymore. And after that what are you supposed to do with the old CPU? Sell it on ebay for $25? Doesn't seem to be worth the effort of doing it.
I'm not saying that I won't wait personally, but if you didn't and just bought a 939 board recently, it doesn't stop being good as soon as AM2 exists. Ooooh, somebody else waited an extra 3 months to buy and got a system that is 2% faster (maybe), it's the end of the world.
I don't know about that. The finalists have some level of singing skill, and presentation, with their own personality contributing. They are not necessarily great *artists* though. None of them are writing their own music or playing instruments, unless you count a voice as an instrument, for example. While we're on that subject is a guitarist who plays the notes on the page an artist?
I agree. It seems funny to think that a 1GB drive in the 90's had about 2mb of cache. Up until recently there have been drives in the 100's of GB range that still had 2mb cache.
I think that it will not be too long before we start to see hybrid hard drives that have a section of solid state/flash type storage built in. Hard drives are a major performance bottleneck. I think I saw someone mention that Windows Vista has a caching scheme where it expects certain drives to be faster, as in solid state.
I would like to congratulate godaddy.com on their fantastic new parked domain name "turbocow.com".
In order to test the trustworthyness of a potential new web host for my site I put that domain name in my shopping cart then cancelled the order. The next day I went back and the domain name was parked.
So, congratulation to godaddy on their fantastic new parked domain name and the loss of a potential customer.
There are people going out and pretending to lose races?
I go out and play Fernando Alonso now. Schumacher sucks this year and he also sucked last year. I'd still like to see him win some though or at least have Massa win some. Ferrari wins are good for the F1 business.
the people with an earlier technology would have indeed developed the 'obvious' technique and used it in their product
If you had ever worked on any software development project you would know why this is wrong. Scope, resources, time. Does TiVo currently have every convievable feature that it could have? Why are they making new versions? Is TiVo going to add features that its competitors already have?
I hope TiVos competitors make some patents and sue them.
It seems like there were video capture cards for computers long before Tivo came along. All the Tivo is is a computer with a video capture card plus some nice software.
I don't see how Tivo's software patents are any better than anyone else's just because a lot of people happen to like the product. All software patents should be flat out banned, end of story.
This is also the same reason that Windows is currently more popular than Mac OS.
As we move forward and more (business) software is written as thin client applications the requirement for a particular OS is greatly reduced. At that point Microsoft is eventually going to have to put out a product that no longer supports legacy software and hardware in order to compete with operating systems like Mac OS.
It was barely a match for the Ferraris of 1995. They never really had spectacular performance. A new Ferrari 430 would stomp on a NSX. Good handling and build quality though.

Are you people unaware that this technology has been in place for decades? My tinfoil mask protects me though.

Was that there before or after the movie?

Who actually registered it is irrelevant. The search should be private.

All software patents need to be made illegal.

The companies that consider more than just dollars are usually not the same ones that outsource.
Software patents are mutually assured destruction. All companies need to be disarmed.
I hope the AMD stock drops. I'd like to buy some for the next time AMD has a superior product.
If you only vote for someone that you agree with on 100% of the issues you would not be able to vote for anyone except yourself.
When it meets up with George Clooney's speech we're all doomed!
What if you tilt yourself the other way? Does that simulate a high gravity environment? Reduce your need for exercise?
Any relation to Ben? Can we win your money?
