Recent research showing how junk DNA is involved in brain development:

I'm curious why you characterized nn's as linear? They are universal function approximators and their power comes from approximating non-linear functions.

Products don't sell themselves. Companies that aren't aggressive with getting their message out/marketing and paying top dollars to good salespeople are called bankrupt.

It's normal to find coins under the seat, this time they found coins inside the seat.

Looks like Bakersfield

"no plane has ever even had to make a minor course change" I think your post is a candidate for one of the dumbest posts in slashdot history. Just because you happen to be ignorant of all of the various cases that have happened doesn't mean they didn't happen. For example, the Coast Guard helicopter hovering during a training mission and getting hit with a laser lighting up the cockpit - you don't think that's unsafe? Helicopters crash even without lasers during rescue attempts etc.

You said; "The floppies would boot up the computer right into the game so there was no OS involved." What you meant to say was that the installed OS of your computer was not involved. The games you were booting from floppies provided their own OS, and it did not resemble the one you were accustomed to.

As a person that created those games that used no OS (or any instructions not written by me personally other than the bootloader) , on what basis are you correcting the other poster? Are you claiming that a game is an OS? If so, what definition of OS are you using? I can't find any that matches your interpretation.

"Without an OS, you cannot access your hardware," - wtf?

The definition of OS isn't "any program that manipulates a hardware register". The games I wrote only used instructions I personally wrote, and the game could not be used to provide services to other applications because it was a game, not an OS.

I wrote games like this on the trash 80 color computer in the early 80's. The boot loader merely loaded a small amount of code and transferred control, definitely not an OS. For the game, I wrote everything, fonts, sounds, graphics, floppy disk or tape IO, keyboard input and joystick input - no libraries no nothing, just my code running a game. There was no code not written by me that got executed other than the boot loader.

In the early 2000's we had some, every week one of them would crash. All the other servers w/ECC, no crash. Hardly a marketing gimmick.

That just might work

The outlet is about 8 feet away but my power cord is only 7 feet, what should I do?

But if there are 300 million Americans, and only 1,500 Merquahisabilians, doesn't that mean the Americans are in the middle of the curve :)

They will create 1,500 more Kiva robots to handle picking and hire just 100 humans

drowned out in a flood of idiocy

BIEBER!!!!!!
