    Aircraft being guided by AI air traffic corona's?

    Lockheed Martin's GILA will help create and control these orders by learning flight controllers' tasks -- often by using only one example, Lockheed claims. And they don't even need to be trained, out with the humans, in with the AI overlords.

    On second thought, after catching a showing of Topgun on TV last night, I'll have to agree.

  15. Nokia S60 on AOL to Shut Down Netscape Support/Development · · Score: 1

    Muppet's included too.

  24. Re:How I change the aspect ratio on YouTube videos on High-Quality YouTube Videos Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    When I encounter YouTube videos that are the wrong aspect ratio, I just download it and then play it back with mplayer with the "-aspect 16:9" option. This also works for videos that I want to replay slowly if the movement is too fast to be caught (e.g. cool CGI effects).

    If you don't have mplayer, I'm sure any video player worth its disk space would have similar features; anyway, mplayer is multiplatform, so there's hardly any excuse.

    There ya go! What does pr0n require CGI for?
  25. Re:Yeah, great idea... on High-Quality YouTube Videos Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    When you consider that a lot of YouTube videos are loading really slowly across the UK (yes, I have tested this). I'm glad someone's tested YouTube access across the whole of the UK, did you find out what the problem was?
