    That's what quantum computing is for.

    Well, it also can be considered a pile of shit (as viewed by eagle, a noble bird, in flight).

  5. Re:Mine goes up to 11 ... on Fun With an Induction Cooktop? · · Score: 1

    Well it's neat, but you have to admit that bringing a stove (and a power source to boot !) to combat is quite a stretch. Well maybe your tank could carry it.

  6. Well you see .. on South Korean Cartoonists Cry Foul Over Edgy Simpsons Intro · · Score: 1

    No. You see, son, unicorns have these horns and .. The life and death of unicorns depicted. Not advisable for little girls.

    Also, the title of the anime seems misspelled.

    I am all ears.

    Obviously, it is not needed.

    Just use the time machine as a relay to communicate with fellow travelers with a portable radio - or just mod a cellphone - bring an ad-hoc tower with you. A tower is just an omnidirectional antenna.

    It's not like there would be any interference. The spectrum is all free and unclaimed.

  9. Re:Worthy successor to Diablo 2?! on Diablo 3 Hands-On · · Score: 2, Insightful

    D2 went from 640x480 to 800x600 in Expansion.

    Also the GP is talking obviously about some other game, as there is no reload in D2. Each save exits game, and you can create new game, with random dungeon (same dungeon, repopulated random monsters in SP),

    Not really - you can be a proverbial RPG Specialist, but you will not finish BG2 saga in one day, if you actually read the text.

  14. Re:Chatbots... on Chatbot Suzette Wins 20th Annual Loebner Prize, Fools One Judge · · Score: 1

    Adjectives are easy - you just need to link advective with an object or property; it is concrete information.

    Try that with the foundation words of language - the VERBs.

    What it is to try, Mr. chatbot ?

    Actually, I, being human, have trouble defining verbs, even when I can associate them with action - they're the most abstract single word part of language as far as I am concerned.

    To be.
    To perceive.
    To understand.

    Etc.

  15. Re:This is just faulty math on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    Ohhhh well, considering the bartender never in theory approaches 2 beers if infinity of mathematicians order each successively halved portions, well... Maybe the fact that beers are easily quantizable makes it much easier to agree with a premise.
    When you (I, rather) try to quantize an analog phenomena, my imagination, which is quite reasonable mind you, enters a sort of wondrous state of incapability of division -- but well, you should at least partly agree that analog space is hard to divide, even in abstraction.

    This is why I think that reality is mostly digital, as in, quantizable. Because my mind operates in, and understands, discrete phenomena much better.

    I AM BIASED :P

  18. Re:This is just faulty math on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    As usual math people notoriously bad with language.

    How long until it comes to absolute STOP ?

    Infinity of time, because in the abstract universe the ball is bouncing in, distance is meaningless, and you could say that each subsequent bounce takes exactly the same amount of time as before, and to the limits of the problem, redefine each bounce as same height as before (this part may be tricky to you, but dealing with infinity can not be done in your standard your euclidean space, you need some trivial modifications).

    If you mangle wording of the problem however, as mathematicians are quick to do (oh so good they are not in programming), what you say starts making sense to you.

    This is not an attack, but an observation.

  19. Re:I went one further on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    There are two values in math - approaches infinity, which is what you describe, and infinity (tm), which is.
