Arimaa is a two-player strategy board game that was designed to be playable with a standard chess set and difficult for computers while still being easy to learn and fun to play for humans. Every year since 2004, the Arimaa community has held three tournaments: a World Championship (humans only), a Computer Championship (computers only), and the Arimaa Challenge (human vs. computer).
seriously, slashdice, some reference would be nice sometimes.
should never go on a plane EVER because they are liable to "lose their shit". if you cannot maintain your composure over an irrational fear, STAY HOME.
So he's scaring people and breaking/threatening-to-break his word,
seriously? the only people that should be afraid here are the people that would be embarrassed because they can't even secure their own planes and the government that approved the planes in spite of it. the real crime is possibly embarrassing the government.
But if his frustration with Boeing and Airbus is going to drive him to be a fear-mongering troll,
fear-mongering, really? what do you have to fear, exposing the truth that systems are insecure?
Thus, it makes sense for them to try developing new battery technology
it makes sense for everyone to try to develop a better battery. societies are trying to and wants to switch from chemical power generation to solar generation which currently has the issue of needing costly batteries. if nothing else, it's a growth market.
governments/TPTB are becoming increasingly concerned that the average citizen could get pissed off and instead of being powerless (as they have been for centuries), they may actually be capable of doing something. In this case it's criminals getting guns with nefarious intent but honestly, this is the tip of the iceberg. We are nearing the tipping point between the people being dependant on governments and companies for things like food and electricity and being self-sufficient. The prospect of "we don't need you anymore" should scare them too because it's when the current social organizational system will start breaking down. It might take a few decades but thanks to affordable automation and openly shared progress, people will start dropping off the grid in droves, not because they can but because it's easy.
not all open source code is bulletproof but microsoft has proven their code is swiss cheese. so why would anyone willingly use a MS product that for something that needs to be secure? when people are shooting at you, do you want to be wearing body armor or cheese?
the basic problem they have is that they have three times the workload than a few years ago. shouldn't this mean they should have three times the staff to properly handle the workload? "O NOZ DAT COST MONIEZ!!!11" is not a valid excuse because the students are paying the university which in turn is paying for staff!
The group's statement suggested that some patent holders weren't satisfied with the money they'd make through MPEG LA's license.
so there are 500 patents and at least one of the patent owners is an insufferable greedy asshole? what's next, are bears going to start shitting in the woods too?!
At this rate I'll finally be able to have my entire music collection on an iPod without having to compress my music in that terrible FLAC format. FLAC is a "lossless" format but you can totally hear which bits have been squished into the file for too long! That's why I decompressed all my files and let them sit for a week, so that the bits can breathe.

slashdot devs. please, add a volume slider to the video player! you are the only ones without it and sucks having to adjust your system volume because of one website decided a volume slider was too much to ask for!
The new manufacturing method won't make the wafer any cheaper, but it does allow it to be reused roughly 50 to 100 times, dramatically reducing the per-chip cost and opening up gallium arsenide for wider use.
unless they are going to start buying back CPUs, this development means very little.
there are very few reasons to keep flash installed/enabled. if you must have it, use flashblock but chances are you can just disable/remove it completely. if some site still uses flash to play video, leave a complaint in the comments. those that haven't switched to html5 yet will do so soon enough.
if you still have java plugin installed, you better have a good reason because no (sane) sites use that shit.
a fatal flaw with these faster printers is that they require gravis (a downward forces) to work. gravity is in very short supply here and no, spinning the station is not an option, i got in trouble for just doing a barrel roll!
The debug console interface on Cisco Small Business SPA300 and SPA500 phones does not properly perform authentication, which allows local users to execute arbitrary debug-shell commands, or read or modify data in memory or a filesystem, via direct access to this interface, aka Bug ID CSCun77435.

Why do Americans automatically accept that kicking the door down and holding everyone at gunpoint is a reasonable response to an anonymous 911 call?
Yes. This is the question that no one asks. Why we tolerate a culture in which police are empowered to kick in doors all the time.
a) Hollywood/media makes guns glamorous b) it doesn't affect us personally (until it does) c) there are other issues that are affecting us d) our leaders have no interest in the matter (with rare exception). e) out political system is broken
basically, the status quo is really difficult to change because it's controlled by groups of people that only change when members of them die.

I was wondering where I left those.

who would work for the government if they didn't have to work at all?

nobody cares about what one guy does.
Question 1) are you taking them for granted? --> Yes - oh no, they are leaving soon!

No - goto Question 1
the world needs fewer spies and more honest people.
It also has the potential to spread Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) and scare the masses, and our lawmakers,
the difference is that here, it's all warranted.
into reactions that would be counterproductive.
counterproductive to whom?
Running an application for an industry specific vertical product that is built on the IIS/ASP/MSSQL stack? I don't have a problem with that.
sure, put a gun to my head and i won't have a problem with a lot of things. on the other hand, i'm going to avoid jobs that say they need such things.
Doing internal DHCP/DNS/AD/Exchange? I'm fine with that, too.
now you are just being lazy because there is no such thing as an internal server if you connect it to a network.
not all open source code is bulletproof but microsoft has proven their code is swiss cheese. so why would anyone willingly use a MS product that for something that needs to be secure? when people are shooting at you, do you want to be wearing body armor or cheese?

"O NOZ DAT COST MONIEZ!!!11" is not a valid excuse because the students are paying the university which in turn is paying for staff!
i opted out by leaving their entire network. fuck them and their unquenchable greed.

Why ... dont they just put up a load of solar panels... $10 Billion will buy you a LOT of them.
because solar panels dont generate weapons-grade plutonium?
