Damn, I can't even spell 'five' Anyway, if you do find out more on the changes to a "lower" state, or in fact, if you find out anything more, please share Hm, yes. Yes I do!

Thanks! Now, several questions arise from that: Coupling them with transistors for processors would mostly mean the cache would consist of memristors instead of SRAM for example? Or they'd be used as, well, "state-savers" for the transistors when current stops? Fife watts for 100gflops? Wouldn't that mean the ever efficient graphics cards currently running at or about 1tflops are in fact very inefficient, as they use far more than 50w in doing so? [edit]Ok, maybe the gpus themselves do not use thaat much more, as there are several other parts involved in a graphics card. But if you apply a voltage, the information is lost, because the memristor's resistance would adapt, or wouldn't it? So each time you read it, you'd have to write it again. Ok, not a problem if they're fast and not limited by the amount of reads/writes they 'suffer'.

Well, Janeway would win Or Picard. Maybe Sisko. Or Kirk, for old times' sake. Or Archer, because he was well played. Yes. Unless you don't mean the one from Voyager Also, the whole group (except maybe the Doctor?) from Firefly. Professor Farnsworth and Bender (Futurama) There aren't many TV-shows I've watched more than two episodes...

I see. Gotta think myself into the whole radar thing a bit first... That could prove a big hindrance, as both could benefit from each other greatly, as your work seems to show. There should be more people with at least some knowledge in both and an ability to put it into words understood and used by both. Hm, I sense a market gap here for people with an education similar to what I am hopefully going to possess in some years time... It would of course take some more elaborate and accurate knowledge of both spoken and written English on such intermediary people's (my?) part first

taks: It was not the paper about memristors we had to carry around with us, but a script for a lecture about circuits, which was not held by Chua of course, but it was his and some colleagues' of his script. I must thank you for your much more accurate description - indeed there were probably errors in my post, but most was badly phrased: In fact I meant to say exactly that: The only thing to understand is one (or rather: a few) nodes, the whole pattern is not predictable. It's only via trial and error and sometimes more or less educated guesses that one gets to good results - we can only determine the behaviour empirically, i.e. experimentally. Thanks for pointing it out! A perceptron is a cool little thing, but who wants to solve linearly seperable problems Yeah, I know, multilayer perceptrons... Adalines were the evolved version, with a continuous (sigmoid) function instead of a step for activation. Yes, my knowledge is limited indeed, it's just what failed student of electronics, having taken two courses in electromagnetic fields and components, semiconductor design and now, in a new more successful try, bio-inspired approaches to computation and ai vaguely remebers from the courses. So forgive further inaccuracies and understand that I'm simply interested in this field. AI still from a student's point of view, electronics as an informed customer Well, back to the topic at hand: How would a device like the memristor allow for AI to work more efficiently / enable us to design more clever hardware usable for AI purposes? It doesn't become clear from the linked IEEE article. The only application mentioned is non volatile memory, and it is said that it can be coupled with transistors to make them more efficient. But: How so? Is it, for example, necessary / useful for the "switches" to remeber their previous position after they're no longer in an electrical circuit? Does a neural network in the course of adapting for example see any benefits from the previous weights being saved unchanged? Just random guesses, don't have much capacity left for today But enlighten me, I'm interested

Good luck!

Ah, so you've decided! I hope the concert's going to be good - chances are it's going to be great even Elbow - Not a job

Computer science doesn't make you any better or worse with windows... Anyway, if you're on XP: Rightclick on your "My Computer"--> "Properties" --> "Hardware" --> "Device manager". You should see a yellow exclamation sign indicating your card isn't installed properly. Right click on it --> Properties. Switch to the "driver" tab. Click on "Update". Select "manually", then "from a list" or something along these lines. If your card is not in the list, click on the "Disk"-Button, then search for that driver-folder you mentionned. That could do the trick [edit] If you're on Vista, it could work similarly, but I'm not sure.

My lan card is recognized by windows or installed with some standard-driver, so I don't know much about this. I'm sure you tried this download here: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c...d#versiondetail already. It says in the version notes that some driver is included. If the setup program installs only the monitor, install the driver for your hardware manually, and look if you can find a driver on your harddrive once you've installed the file I linked above. It could be in the directory for the monitor, or in the temp-folder, or on C:/linksys, for example...

NIN - Head Down

I dislike Chua. He wrote that abominable script we had to carry with us twice a week which weighs about 10kg... As for AI via approach of "artificial neurons and synapses": Not going to happen, I think. Yes, neural networks are useful for certain recognition and optimization problems etc., but so far, because of the unclear mode of operation and not un-empirically designable networks (sorry for my English ), as far as I know, it doesn't seem very promising. Understanding how one cell fires doesn't unlock the understanding of even a puny piece of the whole picture. I'm looking forward to more immediate benefits for microprocessor technology

I imagine this looks great in movement.

John Petrucci - Necronomicon Epilogue Yes, that's videogame music

Can't you switch your TV into mono-mode? In that case, iirc, you use the right (red on red) input, which is then output through all speakers.

Concert of what band, UFO? Missing sound is just one of a number of things that are attributed to UFOs that are impossible for ... 'normal' objects. Take acceleration for example (would kill any human), going invisible, changing form and what not.

Miss Archer is a cutie

Just shows that even immature funnyness is commercialised. Not that that's news...

stop being afraid man

She isn't at all, if we interpreted correctle. Refer to the last two pages :/

Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat That band's one more reason why I feel I'm born a little late

I think you misunderstood my question - I do know what morphology and syntax are. In fact, your definitions are somewhat lacking What I wanted to know was simply what you wanted to say with the quoted sentence: That one doesn't know that 'up' is a preposition unless one looks it up in a grammar book? That it doesn't matter what 'up' means, where it is placed etc, but it matters that it in fact is a preposition? You see, that sentence still confuses me... On the other hand, we could just go back to topic.

Cynic - Adam's Murmur I think I'd go to a concert of Cynic even without Opeth

That is a funny thing to say. First, what do you count into 'grammar'? I agree of course in the sense that there are more phenomena with a greater amount rules in the former languages, like morphology and constructions using certain cases etc, but other things with less, like writing direction, separation of words, syntax in the sense of succession of words, punctuation... What exactly do you mean by that? I currently can't get my head around that By the way, it's interesting to see that there are grammatical problems in English - when looking at papers about computational linguistics, the English writers tend to make assumptions that are far, far too easy for most languages other than English. [edit]Oh, and should I mention the horrible prevalence of ASCII encoding?... No, that's probably off topic.

nice find Yeah, I think so too This particular song isn't as jazz-y as others though. Primordial - Traitor's gate
