Am I the only person who turns off the in-game music and listens to his stereo instead?
Even today with their huge budgets, most games don't have that great of music, and even when they do, you get sick of it after a few all-night gaming sessions.
I still play a lot of the classics, but I can't stand the music.
Undercover cops are already pushing the legal gray areas of entrapment, inadmissable evidence, etc. (yes, some push it more than others, but the point is that undercover is closer than uniformed). In these cases, a camera would be doubly important.
When you get home from work too late, or it's too bloody hot outside to go for a ride, I've found that the stationary bike and an xbox can make the time and blubber disappear.
I'm pretty sure his point is that if he pretends to understand physics, we won't notice that he's just another redneck that thinks driving a big truck is cool
Taking drugs, even pot, increases your chance of ruining your life. If you ruin your life, you place a disproportionate stress on society.

You may be amazed to find out that a large percentage of the most influential artists, writers, philosophers, politicians, and thinkers of the last few thousand years were regular drug users. Admittedly, quite a few of them didn't end up so well, but I would happily argue that drugs' net effect on society has positive.
A while back I emailed my bank about several critical holes on their website. Their response: because the actual banking takes place through a third-party, the access logs that are publicly available on the site, the ability to manipulate the content of the website through javascript, the ability to alter login forms, and the ability to hijack the CMS' admin sessions are non-issues.
I have to give you props. While I don't believe in what you're saying, you are probably the first person to explain it in a level-headed and reasonable fashion.
And in a Slashdot post, no less. What is the world coming to?
Please elaborate. I was raised Christian, and while I don't believe in it, those 10 commandmenty thingies are pretty much the fundamental building blocks of the religion.
That doesn't mean that the followers are consistent, but that's a problem with the people, not the religion.
Strong AI isn't aka Neural Networks. Strong AI is AI that matches or exceeds human intelligence. I probably could have worded my statement better, as strong AI research is not really dead, but the overwhelming majority of AI research is focused on specific weak AI problems. These solutions may very well create strong AI when combined, but that isn't the focus of the serious research, and even neural networks are just one more solution to the many weak AI problems out there.
Regardless, my point is that it took billions of years not to condition responses to inputs, but to build a biological machine that is capable of receiving inputs, processing those inputs, and outputting a response, then recursively evaluating and processing the results. It also needs to self replicate.
My main point though is in agreement with yours- the problem isn't one of technology or advancing algorithms, it's one of scale.
which brings me to a thought... maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we don't need to model an entire physical world- just one that isn't as limited as the application thinks it is. Of course, you still wouldn't be able to map that kind of intelligence to the real world, but it would effectively demonstrate creative problem solving.
...Which is pretty much my point. 2D pathfinding algorithms work very well. In fact, it could be argued that they accurately model and even exceed the 'intelligence' of a bunch of bacteria on a petri dish. In my opinion, the test of true AI would be the ability to discover a third dimension and climb out of the petri dish, virtual or not.

The photoshop referenced in TFA looks like shit. All they did was run it through 'sharpen' a bunch of times and change the color balance.
Four words: "I'm With The Band"

I promise that's a typo, not me being a moron.
Bono could fart into a harmonica and they'd sell a million copies
Actually, it sold over 1.2 billion copies

Not all criminals are violent assholes either, and the OP didn't say any such thing.
Karma?
How so? Are you implying that he was being a Bad Man by releasing this exploit, and the attack was the universe's punishment?
You have a lot to learn about security research

That picture is beautiful.
I called them 'Big LEGOs'...
And the fact that the guy is surprised that they are compatible with the little ones proves that he didn't have a real childhood.
Everybody knows that.
Lisa, I want to buy your talisman.

yes
That was awesome

I have a new bank now.

Killing is not incompatible with Christianity.

They do it by saying that the people doing the translating and rewriting were 'inspired'.
As with all religion, but there is a teeny bit of impossible-to-refute pseudologic there.
I don't think you did.
Is this meta-sarcasm or what?
I am delightfully confused.
