The article backs him up. If Canadians were aware that their government was anti-science then it wouldn't be newsworthy that a science union put up a website raising awareness about the way the Canadian government is treating scientists.
I'm a Canadian and I didn't know - now I do. I knew that the Conservative government is against public services in general, but I certainly didn't know they're regulating what public scientists are allowed to say.
The key is to stay several years behind on video games. I'm currently on 1998-2003 and finding many good ones for $5-$10. As a plus they run on my laptop at full settings.
I don't see anything on that site that endorses Dinosaurs walking with people, though it might be there. At any rate you are are guilty of straw man, false dilemma or ad hominem fallacies.
A) The pope does not endorse a literal view of creationism. B) Even if the Bible does distort peoples perceptions of reality that does not mean that technology doesn't. Nor does it mean that the argument that technology distorts reality is any less credible because the person who makes it supports something else which does not distort reality. If a thief tells you that murder is immoral; pointing out cases of the thief stealing adds little to the argument.
I spent a summer once working for a professor who has spent his life trying to develop an AI for Go!
In particular I was compressing read-only hash tables of end states. He was basing his approach on the work of someone who had developed AI for checkers but I think it's obvious that Go is a little bit bigger problem.
For particularly narrow and I suspect biased definitions of learning perhaps; but the common usage of the word includes the acquiring of knowledge which this piece of software is doing. Other machines develop skills and preferences which also fall under the commonly accepted definition of learning.
There are certainly things that distinguish people from machines - possibly 'understanding', certainly 'emotion', but 'learning' is not one of those things.
To be fair it's not like he took it from one source and changed a couple words around. Stringing together song and album titles:
A friend called my on my telephone line and told me out of the blue that the Elo rating system had been bested. I was so stunned I almost turned to stone. I said, "Dude, don't bring me down!". But the news slowly sunk in, and now I can't get it out of my head. But I'll tell you what, the jury is still out. I think there's gonna be a showdown, and then Elo will be back on top.
There is a lot of Ascetic or Buddhist like teachings in the new testament; which is why medieval monks led such humble lifestyles.
I think it's fair to say that Jesus was teaching an entirely different philosophy than was preached by the profits who were said to have prophesied his coming.
I think I can also say that applying current western cultural values to ancient texts as a method of ridiculing them is extremely ethnocentric. Of course the closer you get to modern western culture the more agreeable the beliefs will be, and the less agreeable they would be to an ancient middle-eastern tribe.
To abstract this away from religion; Imagine you were a Spartan judging Athenians, then imagine you are an Athenian judging Spartans. Also imagine you are an Athenian or Spartan imagining the ideal person.

Yes and this is an interview with a soldier, not a pedantic toy historian. It's not a huge stretch to mistake a 1950s German Aryian ideal doll for a Nazi.
I think it's a reference to the German origin of Barbie (Try googling Bild Lilly Doll) and that she's a blond haired blue eyed white girl; rather than a particular line of Barbie products.
We've had Neural Nets for quite awhile. I would have taken the course in 4th year Computer Science but it was taught by a horrible professor I'd already suffered through enough times not to bother.
For the most part they're used for software recognition.
There's also a fantastic daily wtf article about a company that insisted on using them for something mundane like hydro switching. Someone else can dig of the link.
I haven't read the article yet, but Ray Kurtzweil is a technology speculator - like a sci-fi writer except that he doesn't make up a story to go with his ideas and tries harder to convince people they're actually going to happen. He wrote "The age of intelligent machines" and "The age of spiritual machines" where he takes a hard AI stance that computer thought can become indistinguishable from human thought. He is also a proponent of technological singularity.
Generally his ideas aren't taken very seriously by academia in Computer Science, or at least that has been my experience. The philosophy department at my university sometimes enjoyed going over his ideas; but the philosophy department at my university was very fond of pseudoscience.
The article doesn't say they don't make purple bricks; actually he uses purple for Buzz Lightyear.
Article: “There are a ton of characters that I want to build that have color schemes that Lego hasn’t made or hasn’t made a ton of. More purple would really help me out in making villains such as Lex Luthor, The Joker, Grimace, etc.”
Summary: The hardest part is the color palette — LEGO doesn't make purple bricks, so villains like Lex Luthor, The Joker, and Grimace are a challenge."
I have astigmatism too but it's easily corrected with glasses or contacts. If you don't already have a set you should probably get some. In my case it helped a lot with headaches and depth perception I didn't even realize I was lacking before.

So you analyzed the code, now you may look up "palindrome"
Hmm... at work I can't access that page. \o/

There's probably some I'm missing.

I'm going to assume sarcasm because despite being historically noteworthy that's a horrible game. You could get a z-machine interpreter and play it.
There was a PC and GameCube port of Sonic CD.
And yet no one has edited that article yet today. I'm surprised.

I believe the gp stated Windows 7 fit that criteria...

It conveniently matches the standard key size of triple DES.
