Final step to AI is to mimic self-conciseness. I will believe in AI once it can stand in front of mirror and say "This is me. I exist". Until then...it's all about processing stupid algorithms
- or... -
If it can stand in front of a mirror and say "Does this filesystem make me look FAT32?".
If it showed a concern for looking like it was using a M$ filesystem, then it must be intelligent.
Hey, thanks for the correction! I keep getting my "large companies that screw over family famers" confused with each other. I hate when that happens...
The primary reason for the corn is because that is what we have the highest numbers of big farmers set up to grow with the equipment at hand, and that stuff just ain't cheap. I think the reason corn is being used at all, is that it's corn that has lobbyists in D.C.. The only reason corn is the cash crop that it is right now, is because of the lobbyists for E85 fuel, and sugar tarrifs.
For that reason, ADM has become the MAFIAA of the agricultural world. Suing any farmers unlucky enough to have nature accidentally introduce their patented crop strains into neighboring fields.
Wow, what a stupid reason to be proud of someone.. because they happen to be born near you. You Texans really are dumb. Actually, we are proud of him for many reasons:
1) id
2) Armadillo Aerospace
3) his many contributions to the community... just to name a few.
What state are you from, A$$h@t?
This is the most cynical thing you have ever seen?
Well, you must be new here. Welcome to Slashdot! You may want to regularly engage the services of a psychiatrist; because it only gets more cynical around here.:)
I don't really think that there is the big demand for Vista that M$ thinks there is. Look at how they are having to (figuratively) twist your arm, just to make you think it will be necessary to have your computer be compatible with the rest of the world.
<PEER PRESSURE> Your friend is going to install Vista, Johnny.
Don't you want to be compatible with your friend?
You don't want to have an older operating system than your friend now, do you?
We've made sure that all PC games are only going to be DirectX 10.0 compatible. In fact, we bought the distribution rights for all of the real cool games. Don't you like cool games?
</PEER PRESSURE>
Anybody else notice the correlation between decreased sales and the so-called "recording artists" that the music industry pushes onto the airwaves, despite the fact that they don't have any real musical talent... or even worse still, they sound just like every other "popular" performer.
Even I knew it was a poor premise for a film. The person that green-lighted that project was probably using some type of controlled substances at the time.
But I have a great idea for a movie, "Techs in a Cube".
I can already see this stuff going off in peoples closets; because some script-kiddie broke the decryption, and is riding down streets with his hacked "Mr. Microphone".
Honestly, who will buy this stuff. Obviously, governments will, locally through nationally; because some no-brain official will mandate it. For the average homeowner, and the average bad guy, these are not even going to be considered.
I'm impressed, good catch. Others were close with the obvious surface spin-doctor speech analysis, but you are right on the mark with your assessment.
Lately, a lot of the spin-doctors are using a method where they try to get you to acknowledge one of their "facts" as true, whether it is or not; so you are painted into a corner to acknowledge that their conclusion must be true, even though at best, it is a half-truth.
The authors started off with a good idea, but I think a few of their subjective comparisons miss the mark.
I think that their are enough talented artists, skilled programmers, and people with great ideas out there, that any company that wants to sell a game has no excuses. I want to see games that have great graphics, great gameplay, and keep your interest for a long time after you buy them. Nothing worse than spending $30 - $50 for a game that doesn't live up to it's own marketing hype.
Also, you would think that with two authors, one of them might take the time to fi x the all of the spaces, throughout the article, that appear after "fi" .

If we all buy some "Impact offsets", like sponges and superballs, we should be ok.

CNN is also the network that declared Al Gore the winner of 2000 Presidential election.
Leave it to Sony to provide exactly what the public does not want.
They finally found a use for Vista!!!
People that leave Microsoft for Google are called "Defectors", and people that write code for Microsoft make "Defects".
Thanks... thanks... I'll be here all weekend. You've been a lovely audience, and be sure to tip your waitress.
Fat chance! Who would hire him? Better yet, who would work with him?
Would you like to "Biggie Size" that?
We are all quite proud of John here in his hometown of Mesquite, TX. WTG John!!!

Oops, I forgot to put a question mark on that first sentence.

Hey Entertainment Industry, get a clue!
Even I knew it was a poor premise for a film. The person that green-lighted that project was probably using some type of controlled substances at the time. But I have a great idea for a movie, "Techs in a Cube".
I hint at not buying their products.

Looks like I'm going to have to get a good copyright lawyer.

I can see it now, at whatever private school the Ballmer children attend:
"My dad is billionaire Steve Ballmer; so it's not important for me to know how to use a good search engine!"
