clever algorithms Welcome to Clever Algorithms! This is a handbook of recipes for computational problem solving techniques from the fields of Computational Intelligence, Biologically Inspired Computation, and Metaheuristics. Clever Algorithms are interesting, practical, and fun to learn about and implement. This introductory chapter provides relevant background information on Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms. What is AI Artificial Intelligence The field of classical Artificial Intelligence (AI) coalesced in the 1950s drawing on an understanding of the brain from neuroscience, the new mathematics of information theory, control theory referred to as cybernetics, and the dawn of the digital computer. Russell and Norvig provide a perspective that defines Artificial Intelligence in four categories: 1) systems that think like humans, 2) systems that act like humans, 3) systems that think rationally, 4) systems that act rationally [Russell2009].

eDealinfo.com: Daily Hot Deals - just like Black Friday Offers, Halloween Deals, Sale, Coupons, Latest Promotions Olympus E-P2 and two Micro Four Thirds zooms: Digital Photograph Olympus has announced the E-P2 just five months after the launch of its first Micro Four-Thirds camera, the E-P1. It's a minor upgrade with the addition of a port for a new high resolution electronic viewfinder (or external microphone), two new Art filters and a pearlescent black finish. It also gains AF tracking and includes a new i-Enhance 'colour boosting' function. Available from January 2010, the E-P2 with VF-2 electronic viewfinder and either 17mm pancake or 14-42mm zoom lens will sell for a suggested retail price of $1099.99. The E-P2 represents almost as subtle an enhancement as the company's E-450 does, compared to the remarkably similar E-420. Jump to: Press Release: PEN - The next chapter: Back to black London, 5 November 2009 – Welcome back to the PEN story and the next chapter: “Back to Black”. Building on brilliance The new generation of PEN (E-P2) boasts an enviable pedigree. The Olympus E-P2 builds on its coveted predecessor’s wealth of high-performance temptations.

Micro Center - Computers, Electronics, Computer Parts, Networking, Gaming, Software, and more! Robtex JavaScript Implementation of AES Advanced Encryption Standard in Counter Mode AES is a ‘symmetric block cipher’ for encrypting texts which can be decrypted with the original encryption key. For many purposes, a simpler encryption algorithm such as TEA is perfectly adequate – but if you suspect the world’s best cryptographic minds, and a few million dollars of computing resource, might be attempting to crack your security, then AES, based on the Rijndael algorithm, is the tightest security currently available (approved by the US government for classified information up to ‘Secret’ – and in in 192 or 256 key lengths, up to ‘Top Secret’). AES was adopted by NIST in 2001 as FIPS-197, and is the replacement for DES which was withdrawn in 2005. I developed this JavaScript implementation to to illustrate the original AES standard (NIST FIPS-197) as closely as possible. Much of the Rijndael algorithm is based on arithmetic on a finite field, or Galois field (after the mathematician). (In counter mode, a text could decrypt correctly even if the cipher routine was flawed).

User:Piecraft/Dieselpunk Description[edit] A manipulation on an alternate version of a future 1950s from the developed technology and society of the 1930's, where the Great Depression never arrived and World War II is still being fought as a prolonged Cold War. In turn, Japan continues its progress towards technological modernization, developing the earliest computers and terminals. Nazi scientists continue experimenting by taking the route of biotechnology, sparking off a genetic revolution of bio-mods, clones, and organ harvesting. Whilst the Americans and British take both of these technologies to develop mind-control devices, spawning man-machine interfaces and sparking the atomic-powered machine age. Themes that usually surface in the genre relate to: The Red Scare - fear of intrusion sparking mass hysteria.Space Race - conquest of Outer Space. see also: Diesel cycle Dieselpunk post-apocalypse[edit] Art & Culture[edit] Examples: the cinema of Fritz Lang, F.W.

Heroin and Cornflakes » Blog Archive » Circumcision: Should it be Illegal for Under 18’s? “All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Arthur Schoepenhauer. Following my recent article, ‘Circumcision, AIDS and Human Rights‘ questioning the legitimacy of circumcision, I posted this question on an official White House discussion board; ‘Is it time to make circumcision illegal for under 18′s? My aim was to help facilitate discussion and debate regarding this subject. I asked…. What about the rights of newborn babies and children? Don’t they need protection? As a Manager at United States Department of Defense put it; “the arguments flew from irrational, to emotional, to religious, to parental rights!” Part of my opening arguments were as follows: Human rights as listed by the U.N. And the relationship within these rights and the pain endured by the infant. Because according to a comprehensive study, newborn responses to pain are ‘similar to, but greater than, those observed in adult subjects.’ The foreskin is then torn from the glans. and….. and…

Novell Defends SUSE Against MS-Sponsored Study Hewlett-Packard will apparently need close to two months to start fulfilling backorders for the (temporarily) revived TouchPad tablet. "It will take 6-8 weeks to build enough HP TouchPads to meet our current commitments, during which time your order will then ship from this stock with free ground shipping," read an email sent to customers and reprinted in a Sept. 7 posting on the Precentral.net blog. "You will receive a shipping notification with a tracking number once your order has shipped."That would place the new TouchPads in consumers' hands sometime in either late October or early November. The reduced-price devices are not returnable, according to the email. Nicholas Kolakowski is a staff editor at eWEEK, covering Microsoft and other companies in the enterprise space, as well as evolving technology such as tablet PCs.
