Maybe the statement is true that the brain cannot understand itself, but if you look at the quote literally, it works with your idea as well. "as scientists seem to learn more..." is the key. Groups of brains solving problems. The old addage "Two heads are better than one" works especially well when you have hundreds of thousands of heads.
The thing that keeps me from legally downloading music as it is right now is pain. Pain from what you might ask? Pain in paying. It's not easy for me to purchase music right now as I'm not old enough to have a checking account, a credit card, or a paypal account. iTunes has the right idea with their pre-paid cards.
The more invisible you make the payment process, the more likely people are to forget how much they're spending anyways. I don't know how you'd pull off a more painless program, but that'd really get the cash flowing.
can they run these programs on the source of the program itself to look for bugs? Or would that be like the human brain being able to completely understand itself inside and out (aka. not possible)
No no no! Haven't you been paying attention? It's the other way around. Right on the site it says this:
Forbes reports that RealNetworks, the creators of the (un)popular media player RealPlayer, have signed a two-year agreement with Mozilla to bundle Firefox with its software
Which leads me to ask.. Was Pluto originally extra-solar?
In school I was always taught that that was the case. It explains the fact that the orbit is in the wrong plane and the fact that it effectively "switches" places with Neptune as the orbit swings closer to the sun.
Don't you think people would want to see all the cool stuff that the game has to offer without having to wait several days / weeks for results? It was all "fast fowarded" to keep the presentation short(er) than it was. I remember it being really, really long to begin with.
People should be free to consume whatever media they want to
Somehow I get the feeling that there are people out there who want to see these "works of art" but cover up the "nipples." Not watching the movie at all restricts them from being free to consume said media.
This sure goes well with the posibility that Mozilla will be dropping Win98 support for Firefox. Why is the world so cruel?! Ah heck, this is a good excuse for people to upgrade to Win 2000 anyways. Or maybe possibly, is there an equivilent Linux distro that might keep our old boxes running until their poor components completely fry?
Well now that made me think. What would be the incentive for companies to sell these bateries? Once you buy it, you never buy from them again because it lasts near forever. Sales would be good in the begining and then drop sharply once everyone has 'em.
Wouldn't the fact that you don't have it all make you crave that next level or secret area all the more? Then you would spend more and more time playing and playing, working to get that last bit of pleasure. Much more enjoyable that a game that's real cool that gets old a couple of days later. I think the work makes games worth more because then you really want to play it.
get the sickening feeling that there aren't enough of us people who understand why net neutrality is the way to go? The average joe doesn't even know how to send an email.
If it was filed the same day, why are we finding out today? Is it more news-worthy that Apple is being sued or that Apple sues? My guess is the former.
If this catches the public's eye as being cool rather than dangerous, couldn't the government just as easily record people's daily lives? I'd be opposed to it anyways. I don't like the idea of people who I can't see being able to see me.
But doesn't it end up taking more energy to split hydrogen from water than the hydrogen ends up giving us with our current technologies? I mean yeah, once that whole cold fusion thing works out we'll be set for life, but until then I think electrolysis isn't going to end up helping enough.
or have we been hearing this forever? Yeah yeah, people will have clothes that can change designs, along with newspapers that have breaking news that what's his name from Minority Report is now a convict.

Al Gore's next campeign: I'm here to tell you all .. about computer bear pig. It's totally serial.

So when this becomes common practice, will you really be suprised when you're asked a string of questions like this?
can they run these programs on the source of the program itself to look for bugs? Or would that be like the human brain being able to completely understand itself inside and out (aka. not possible)

Did any one else read "100,000 ganglion" as "100,000 gajillion" as in THE LARGEST NUMBER EVER CREATED BY MAN?
.. uh .. my brain's ethernet wasn't fast enough to stop me from making a stuipd comment! Where's my firewall!
I mean
So does this mean that in a week we'll be hearing about the 30th anniversery of Viking 2?

I saw one of those for your keys at Sharper Image the other day.

Don't you mean, "finally they can make me a condom that's my size!" Just kiddin'

Of course ole Bill will have us believe the age of the PC isn't over. How else will he profit from the company he has built?

Now web pages can suck in three dimensions!
I'm using the "I don't really care" face

because no one else cares either. Whoo, hey! A huge company is tradmarking / copyrighting / doing something stupid with something cool!
