the way I know apple, they are going to sue him now
before they only threw dirt to make him look unreliable, but now they'll be throwing lawyers to stop him from proving he's right (or as they would say - to stop him from damaging their business)
his machine of course didn't play tic-tac-toe on a real board, but the fact that his machine computed the solution is still very impressive, since not even electricity was really invented...
are you f****ing nuts!? do you know who charles babbage was?
he didn't build it out of lego, because lego wasn't invented for 140 years!
he built the damn thing using twine, sticks and gears!
and that isn't even new - as someone else pointed out: this has been done with lego mindstorm for connect four... same problem, but needs a more complex AI
> Thank God, no!
Why, what OS and web browser combo does he use?
Linux (no distro, self-built from scratch!) with firefox of course...
you see - all MS and Apple products are written because of greed - thats why god wouldn't use them (satan does, though) and why Bill, Steve B. and Steve J. are going to rott in hell...
some image recognition, an AI that is VERY simple and the output through drawing... big deal
a word on the AI: lesson 1 in artificial intelligence courses are minmax algorithms and since tic-tac-toe is a game with a VERY small game-graph (less than 20000 nodes) it is easy to calculate the best move even by brute-force (a 40 MHz CPU does this in about 1 second) so this is a story that is REALLY REALLY REALLY not worth telling
slownewsday i'd say... let's see the news about IE7 RC1... THERE will be some funny comments =)
I'm sure MS were the ones that delayed the blue-laser shipments - because Windows Hastalavista wasn't ready to support it - YEAH, THATS THE SAME THING THEY DID WITH INTEL!;)
I would like to know what these terrorists would say if they got a painful, deadly disease that would have become treatable with informations coming from Ringachs research...
if we'd start doing this, greedy bastards would start using the linux market for profit - and then we'd end up like windows users, paying 20$ for every f****ing hello world program
Jack Thomson is a nobody - what right does he have to demand a copy of this game? send him a pirated copy (as requested: a COPY) and sue him for posessing it - HAHA...
just ignore this nobody that jerks off when he sees himself in the media - that's the best way to silence him!
[...] we have elected to drop this particular case
doesn't the word "particular" bother anyone but me? this means that if the public hadn't been outraged, they would have sued them, although "their hearts go out to the Scantleberry family for their loss"(haha, give the guy an academy award!) AND if a similar case happens where the public isn't outraged (maybe because the same story isn't news-worthy twice) THEN they'll sue the people - they don't start forgiving dead people - they only did it in THIS PARTICULAR CASE
someone should start trying to find out the identities of the people whose search queries were published... I don't think you need too many queries by one person to pin him down...
maybe THIS would silence the guys that understate how horrible this is for privacy...
dude - your signature is evil!
people, don't try using this function! unless "friend" is always 0 OR a complex number (a.k.a. imaginary number)
this is a serious security concern for your programs... if you use it, your programs will crash (add fud: they might execute arbitrary code! screams, panic)
in the UK they have plans for such laws making ISPs liable for the traffic going through their servers...
to show that this is the idea of a clueless politician (on voter hunt) I say five words and one number:
microsoft is actively encouraging hackers to write virusses, trojans, worms etc. (since the protection is so poor)
so this means microsoft must be accountable for any damage that any worm, virus, trojan etc. does to any windows pc on this planet...
don't forget that THE VERY NEXT version of directX will no longer work under winXP - beleive me: people will switch because of this intentional incompatibility... intentional incompatibilities have always been part of microsofts business strategy
about 5-6 years ago I've seen a report on TV about plans of the US government + NASA, to build a moonbase within 70 (SEVENTY!) years... how does JAXA think they could beat US gov and NASA by fourty years, although JAXA has incredibly less experience? I think they've watched too many movies...

I'm not sure if this is twine... anyways charles babbage is saied to be the inventor of the computer (lady ada byron was his assistant, she programmed his machine. the programming language "ada" is named after her) I'm not sure if his machine was turing-complete though
his machine of course didn't play tic-tac-toe on a real board, but the fact that his machine computed the solution is still very impressive, since not even electricity was really invented...
now THAT's one impressive information I didn't know so far. thank you

simple - IF the AI isn't complete crap than there will never be a winner... always draw... might remember you to the movie "wargames"... ^^

hehe good one
but I really think we should all participate to show the RIAA that this works better than sueing their customers the pants off

Write "Ballmer" in MS Word... It's not recognized by the spell check, so Steve Ballmer is not that important...

sounds like another job for the EFF
well they say now that it didn't happen on purpose... but then I don't know why the names are replaced by IDs...
too late...
so, is there a .cm boom comming up?
