Hypotheses should be evaluated based on the evidence in support of them; not on the individuals involved. If you can debunk the claims made, please do so by facts and evidence; not by an ad hominem attack one one of the researchers involved.

The answer is in the abstract of the paper. Traditional genetic algorithms evolve optimal sets of parameters to a fixed algorithm; the parameters are evolved by the GA, but the underlying algorithm does not change. This method allows exploration of completely new ML algorithms from basic operations.

You said it yourself - they do exist! The rift screen is a phone, and 4K phones exist.

Sorry, I read your post a tad hurriedly. Kinect has the three components that you mentioned, but that make it something other than a "fairly normal camera".

You are indeed remembering incorrectly. Kinect has a colour camera, an IR camera and an IR Emitter. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u...

This reminds me of a fiasco a few years ago when a colleague of mine published a paper reporting his objective discovery that male-female sexual intercourse has some health benefits that did not result from any other form of sex such as masturbation or homosexual sex. The vitriol of the truth-phobic PC backlash that ensued almost made him wish he had never published.

Will this mean that tesco, asda, sainsburys and the rest make their parking bays even more narrow than they are already?

Seriously, can we stop referring to booting a computer as an "experience"? It's not like it's a trip to the moon!

Clearly apple's ploy to reinforce the perception of desirability of their shiny iThings. It works - look at all those iSheep.

Tip of the day:
Stop people modding you down by starting your message with "I know I'm going to get -1 troll, but..."

A developer of Braben's esteem could get publisher funding (as they have done for many other games), but he probably wants to retain creative freedom, which he can do with KS. When you have a publisher funding your project, they call the shots. If they want you to add more blood, explosions, zombies or whatever they think they'd like - it's their call and the studio must do what they're told. If they want it shipping 6 months before it's ready - it's their call. You want to add an innovative, but potentially risky feature? If the publisher isn't convinced, forget it! With KS, I'd say there's much more chance of Frontier shipping a quality game that pushes the boundaries, and won't be ruined by the type of dumbing down that dominates so much of the current crop of publisher-funded games.

The role of the mosaic law in the new testament is something that a lot of people find difficult to grasp at first, but you might find it helpful to read the book of Romans - particularly chapters 1-8. There are numerous passages in the gospels that appear to be contradictory when taken out of context, but Romans shows how they piece together. Also, read "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee.

You remind me of creationists who think that evolutionists will be stumped any time they mention the evolution of the eye, ignorant of the fact that it presents no difficulty whatsoever to evolutionary science, despite being cleared up long ago. (Similarly for the flagellum.)

Likewise, your post reveals your ignorance of the bible. If you really have asked such questions of anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the bible, they should have been able to clear up your confusion with ease! Still, it's possible that they did answer your questions, but you had your fingers in your ears at that point.
