Im there with you..
however i must still boot into XP for my counterstrike source experience.. i have it running through wine, but its just so much smoother and lagfree in XP wich of course sucks. I blame valve..
Like someone else pointed out somewhere, we havent observed giant space sharks yet.. but i suppose a chinese atomic blaster would do just as well.. point being, is it so much better to be depended on space rather than the middle east ?.. take out the spacegenerators, take out a nation ?
Wich makes me think.. why 'only' 235(something) patents?
Surely if patents on singleclicking, checkboxes and the like is given out.. surely linux must be in violation of.. what, a billion patents, plus minus a few?
So.. they invalidate their oppertunity to sue with THOSE 235 patents.. so what, they just dig in for another more scareworthy couple of thousands..
been there with a grandmother too... its one fucked up way to go
we have an agreement, in my family now, that makes sure none of us ends up like that.
basicly it means, that while you still have the capacity to do it yourself, you'll be given access to the means to end your own life, should you choose to do so.
the brain is what makes you, for it to deteriorate like that is like fading away.. fade away everything you once were.. over a timespan of 10 to 20 years (yes, fcking years), and it would seem, even at its worst, these poor souls still, from time to time, reach a cognitive state that makes them aware of the shit they're literally sitting in, even if its just for a few seconds its enough time for the tears to come rolling.. if you love someone in this condition, you just wanna kill them.
Sounds like the classic WMSD (weapon of mass solar destruction) to me.. and the observation is thus obviosly from the jetstream generated by the, in question, singularity just before it popped.
What else could it be ?
... ms not that interesting ? what was it.. something along the line "The devils biggest achievement was to convince man that he did not exist"... rock on!
Linux has come a far way.. it may not be as easy going as windows just yet, but i do believe its a question of a couple of things.
1. Analogy firefox, you gotta reach some level of critical mass before developers begin to take you seriously, same with drivers and other prop. software for linux. Are we going to reach that critical mass ? I hope so.
2. Virtualization, the one ONE thing that windows does that linux does not is games. wine this and that, sure, but it hardly scores a usability rating worth a dime. But now virtualization begins to implement our 3D hardware(well, our 3D hardware that does the 3D calculus), its in parallels and coming to your favorite virtualbox too. This, i predict, will be the turbocharger linux needs... common, what is windows really ? it's an emulation-shell you use to run your games! If you want to game you press play-on-tape on that windows-thingie and you're off.. when you're done, terminate shell and go on about your business. like an old C64 emulator. Rock on!
not happening im afraid, much as id like to see ms take a dive, once that happens a new pr strategy will surely be formulated fast.. they're a monopoly, still, though we see other momentums in the industry, and they're milking it, and they'll continue milking it until one or more of these momentums get big enough.
they'll happily introduce this into the kernel, take the pr hit from a few penguin lovers and enjoy the $$ while it lasts.
this is also a serious strike against google no less, why advertise via a browser if you can hit the user in the face via the very loginscreen, desktop, screensaver, whatever..
I hear the suits of war..erh..law rumbling again.
I did that, bout what, 2-3 weeks ago, and much to my surprise im still vectoring forward in ubuntu.. stuff works, theres a few getting used to's but so far no problems to speak off.. i even got beryl(the spinning cube desktop etc) up and running with next to no hazzle. and for those special windows apps you cannot live without ? wine is about the easiest program to use to date..
I do need windows though, mostly do to work(they'd kill me if i installed linux on the laptop), and for my poking in certain executables witch is windows only.. but much can still be done from virtualbox.. the day they virtualize graphics acceleration is a happy day.
oh the flames subcleverly hiding the first google search on the matter.
if you'd done a second googling you'd know the subject is reffered to by both acronyms, and the point of reading on the subject i've done GAI is used more often than AGI.
Dont give me shit about what post shows who dont understand what about wich subject.
And stop backpeddeling allready, you stereotype slahsdot inflamable stereotype you..
And on the subject of educating, you, lookup a project like novamente (GAI) and you tell me that you know for a fact that such compression-like rutines have no place in a framework like that... novamente, i understand, spends most of its time reading.
neural nets is AI
knowledgebased rule systems is AI
fuzzy is AI
genetic algos is AI
baysian reasoning is AI
So like.. get the f... out of here and take your "weak ai" with you.
"What a compressor does could be considered "weak AI" but frankly, it's an absolutely idiotic classification, because just about any function a computer performs can be considered "weak AI"."
- thats stupid.
- flame-out.
no no and no.. that is not the definition of artificial intelligence.. AI is a wide range of subjects and techniques, what you're describing is more that of a GAI(general artificial intelligence) and if you're into that sorta shit(wich i guess you're not) you could check out the singularity institute.
drm is anyone everywhere and is neither restructured or resized by a microsoft or sony win.
drm is a somewhat static.
the business tactics and mere size of microsoft is another story entirely.
a business tactic so very fine tuned, walking the grayline, momentarily well into the black with a bufferzone of lawyers and a massive gold deposit aquired through said methods
Pretty soon microsoft will be making laws in a country near you.
-- Oh wait...
i know, i know... i hate the rootkit episode too.. but if Sony or any other thrid party is not allowed to DRM infest your windows ifestation.. then who is ? oh yea, microsoft. That does not make it right, but ms is the lesser evil imo.
fanboism/hatred alert. Another win for blueray is another loss for miscrosoft.. any loss for miscrosoft is a good thing. enemy of my enemy and all that!
theres an obvious solution to all this..
who says we have to arrive at our detination in our current biological contruct ?.. an ai of sorts could make the trip, and when arrived, if we must, and still is in our current form, we could be grown on spot.
this approach takes less miracles than any other way i can think of.

wtf .. thats not insightful, thats funny .... wtf is wrong with you ppl.
aligned with my reasoning as well, mod parent up as extremely insightful.

if you wanna breed the best of the breed, there can be only two.
clone them and you got ulimited supply of the best of the best
some to do work others to speed up the breeding process.
Aiiiiiiiiight ?

I think you're mistaking AI for GAI .. theres a big difference there.
mod parent up for accuracy of sight. all about the money.

how much is sony in your face, annoying it, on a daily basis ? how much is microsoft ? ffs, sony is bad but not to the bone like ms.
