  1. Re:hm on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    At this point, you're entering a chicken and egg debate. We have methods of AI learning, we have plenty of complex routines, but we lack the processing power to implement them. If this can take care of the low-level processes and free up power, we can look forward to utilizing better algorithms. Your attitude just brings about a Catch-22: Can't do better AI without more power/dedicated AI processing, but you can't justify more power/better AI processing because current AI is subpar.

  2. Re:Software Patents = Welfare for Lawyers on Microsoft Admonished by U.S. District Court Judge · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry to inform you that I own the patent on that mathematical equality. You now owe me ten cents.

  3. Drug Abuse != Psychological Disorder on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    That's an excellent point. To compare Vincent van Gogh to Janis Joplin is completely useless. Psychological disorders and drug abuse cannot be lumped into the same category. Of course, some sufferers of those disorders do turn to drugs (such as Cobain). Having bipolar disorder myself as well as being a songwriter, I can attest to the fact that being categorized as insane is really insulting. When I write music, yes, it is far easier to write about the painful times. But unless you are a completely self-pitying egotist wallowing in your own sorrow because it makes you feel superior, there's not much in life that could trump an opportunity to be happy when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

  4. Re:Bull--- on SQL Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Key phrase: "comes from" - SQL has come a long way since SEQUEL was created. Most specifically, after it was adopted ANSI in 1986, it essentially lost its meaning as an acronym for "Structured Query Language" and became a hapless three-letter name. Check the ANSI Standard - not only do they insist its pronunciation is letter-by-letter, but its official name is 'SQL' - short for...SQL.
