GreenLady7 I didn't even look at the pricetag because I knew it'd be something Just out of my price range, and I was right.

Theresa111 I hadn't thought about Socrates (drinking hemlock), or Plato, or Copernicus for years.

Theresa111 You have no idea how this title made my heart sink down to the floor.

6/28/10

photographworks Me too. I saw the word 'frenzy' and thought how racist the headline was and wondered how the Australians would like it if the North Koreans came knocking on their back door. So when I saw it as about a game, I came back here to look at your headline.....

Theresa111 This was an incredibly kind thing to do for Oscar.

6/26/10

GreenLady7 That's wonderful news for Oscar, and I'm sure it will lead to new discoveries for humans, too.

PetLvr it's true! (being the very latest thing) .. I almost thought it was an episode of Intervention or something ... when I first watch TLC's "Extreme Poodle Grooming" .. http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/extreme-poodles-th...

Theresa111 Do you mean there are homeless robotics wandering the streets? Oh no. We should do something to help. Reminds me of the movie featuring Will Smith, "I Robot".

Theresa111 Only people who are bored with living life would think up ways for robots to live their life for them.

infurl You should tell that to the families of the plane load of mining executives who just disappeared in the Cameroons, all presumed dead.

Jayme Well, now its not.

6/16/10

Theresa111 I play pool better than the robot, but this is only after one week of the programmers efforts. Well done. In a month the robot will be ready for the professional circuit. :)

infurl I've been looking at these photos trying to match up the land marks because apart from the river I couldn't find anything in common at all.

Just spotted something though.

The lower photograph was taken from considerably further away from the river than the first photograph so the perspective is different. The prominent brown pointy tower in the left foreground of the upper photograph has been painted green and is floodlit in the lower photograph, still visible against the river among all the new towers.

infurl The clock tower on the right of the upper picture is also visible in the lower picture, floodlit and looking very tiny a bit to the left of centre.

I haven't been back to my hometown of Brisbane for twenty years... I wonder how much it has changed in that time. I've looked at photos but they were unrecognisable too.

Jayme ..but as individuals --because Im not into politics. =)

photographworks I don;t think your headline "So good to see that free speech and freedom of the press are alive and well in the USA." does the story justice.

She told a rabbi that all the Jews should go back to Germany and Poland.

So sure, it's a free world (or part of it is) and she can say what she likes (actually I am not sure she could in England or Germany where there are laws against inciting race hatred) but that aside, the point is that she was a journalist for Hearst Newspapers (not known for its liberal viewpoint but that's another story) and she overstepped their line about speaking rationally.

6/30/10

Jayme cool. any links?

6/08/10

infurl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

The wikipedia article is a good start. If that makes any sense to you then I'd be happy to talk about it further. Heh, maybe we could even tackle computational complexity... but best not get ahead of ourselves.

legbamel They must have left off the "and then you'll both be asked to leave" part. :P

6/05/10

efuller well, at least the implied "and you get to deal with the consequences"

6/06/10

Deray28 Thanks! :-D

numby Does this comic strip span five hours?

efuller Fabulous. I almost made it to the San Mateo Maker Fair and now I'm kicking myself for not making a greater effort.

nothingprofound I felt sorry for that balloon, having to jump through all the hoops. I was hoping it'd rebel and fly free.

5/27/10

askcherlock Really cool. I was worried there might be a balloon fatality at the end, but happy to see there wasn't.

GreenLady7 It's not just technology, it's the plucky young woman on the bike, riding alone from village to village with, initially, only a mobile phone. Three cheers for these brave women! They're making a difference.
