  1. Intelligence on Audio CAPTCHAs Cracked; ReCAPTCHA Remains Strong · · Score: 1

    Actually CAPTCHA can be a little bit intelligent than basically being cryptic. For example: CAPTCHA says 2+3 Answer is 5 It is harder for bots and easier on humans.

  2. Re:Wish they had done a press conference... on MS Says Windows 7 Will Run DirectX 10 On the CPU · · Score: 1

    ... And now that you have 7fps, you will just need a tiny bit of extra which you can get through a "Time Compressor" (easily available at your local science labs (joke)) Now the computation happens in a different dimension where time is 3 times slower that the dimension you are breathing in, so when the transformation takes place you don't even notice the difference. Thats easy.

  3. Re:Oh boy. on MS Says Windows 7 Will Run DirectX 10 On the CPU · · Score: 1

    Thats why Consoles exist. Seriously, since Vista, windows has become really bulky for games.

  4. Re:Expect more of this in the future on A Computer Composing and Playing Jazz · · Score: 1

    But then what about the songs that grow on you? Like oasis for example, you dont get it in the first time, but after a while you cant start your day without listening to it.

  5. Beethoven? on A Computer Composing and Playing Jazz · · Score: 1
    I fail to understand, where is the relation of Beethoven and Jazz ...

    I can imagine a computer producing Jazz tunes on the run (as in Jazz mostly different instruments are in individual harmony, there is no collaborative rhythm / harmony). But composing symphonies would be something!

  6. Re:I can't believe... on Ext4 Advances As Interim Step To Btrfs · · Score: 1

    Somehow I don't know why (maybe because of the current nomenclature trend), but this doesn't seem funny (or a joke) to me. Those things actually make sense, goodness ...

  7. Got point on Stallman Says Cloud Computing Is a Trap · · Score: 1

    Thats RMS, unbiased from all the hype that shadows over the real thing. To be honest he has got a good point.

  8. You bet on Mars Lander Sees Falling Snow · · Score: 1

    Thats because of global warming ...

  9. Re:UNLESS YOU CHECK, you are insecure! on A Good Reason To Go Full-Time SSL For Gmail · · Score: 1

    Sshhh ... /maybe he official google bot for clarifying doubts on slashdot

  10. Nice feature on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1

    Now go carts will have comfortable chairs

  11. Re:Send your ideas to google first! on Can I Be Fired For Refusing To File a Patent? · · Score: 1

    That is scary ...

  12. Any difference? on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 1
    Well, technically it would not make much of a difference to the user in front of TV? Does it?

    ... wait I meant audience in front ...

  13. Re:Slaves, eh? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1
    In modern lingua, Resources == Slaves

    or a hypocr~ typecast

    doWork () {

    ((Resources)Slave).Work();

    }

  14. Icon on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 1

    This story should have that little foot icon in the summary. It would be nice.

  15. Re:Games on Cutting-Edge AI Projects? · · Score: 1
    Guys, I am saying its a good ground for experimentation. Who is stopping you from using neural networks in choosing the best weapon / Most effective move for the opponent?

    >>There is yet to be a freeform AI that can completely destroy a player in a computer game like some of the best real people can.

    Chess? A very simple yet effective example of AI?

  16. Games on Cutting-Edge AI Projects? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Games? It is the best scratch pad for AI experiments.

  17. Re:Don't worry NASA is not stupid. on NASA Plans Probe to the Sun · · Score: 1

    No no it doesnt work that way ... thats schoolboy science sheesh .... The only way is to land on the rear side.

  18. Cycle on Open Source Killing Commercial Developer Tools · · Score: 1
    Rare things have value (not that free things aren't valuable)

    loop

    {

    There is an effort to make rare things !rare result is things are available

    but then !rare things don't have the same value

    so again there is an effort to make things rare

    }

  19. Re:Easier way! on New Robots Developed To Climb Walls · · Score: 1
    OR even easier this could be even DIY ... okay

    Tie a simple fisherman's knot to one of the appendages of the robot that would take the force > its Mass*g(approx 9.8) Then throw other end of the string over the wall (or attach it to the pulley on top of the wall), and apply force to the other end of the string directed towards the ground and away from the wall.

    Also there is no guarantee that your robot will survive this climb without a scratch / broken parts, but heh it climbs

    jokes apart, that is really a good advancement in tech.

  20. again? on Internet2 and You · · Score: 1

    I thought we already had web 2.0?

  21. Re:Anecdote from Google on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 1

    ... but told him he wouldn't be so lucky the next time
    Its as if they rule the world

    wide web

  22. One of Firefox settings on Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    which allows you to manually authorise cookies, gives pretty good control over the involutary activity.

  23. But ... on Paul Krugman's 1978 Theory of Interstellar Trade · · Score: 1

    To achieve speed of light is so hypothetical?

  24. One thing is for sure, on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    The back and forward buttons will be used more frequently than before ;)

  25. Re:Not the Space Shuttle! on Space Shuttle Secrets Stolen For China · · Score: 1

    could have been a hum~n No, alien error
