Hey, you can unpack files with a ,zip extension with WinRAR, right? That's what they claim, but I'd trust you guy over their word.

 

 

is it a .zip or a ,zip

 

you can unpack .rar/.zip/cab/arj/lzh/ace/7-zip/.tar/.GZip/.UUE/.BZ2/.JAR/.ISO/.Z

all with winRAR

 

not ,zip

 

any file that is compressed be sure to do a virus scan before extracting it

So my room mate got that AIM worm, and reduced his computer to a 24 hour billboard. I deleted what I thought was the virus, but now his computer just turns on and gets stuck. Can I download a Windows XP Recovery disc on my mac, burn it, and hope it works? Or do I have to download a full version of windows?

start the windows xp machine into safemode (safemode) you can get there by pressing the F8 key when the computer boots up press it 1 time every 2 seconds until you see a list of startup modes

 

when windows boots it will say its in safemode

 

go to the cdrom/dvd-rom drive and open the program that is on the cd you burnt

 

install and run

when its done

reset the computer (normal)

and it should boot up with no AIM worm

mainter: yeah, i\'d definitely appreciate that.

 

 

no luck yet

 

why are you the one making the orginals?

Mainter- ,zip was a typo...it was a .zip file.

 

It worked fine, WinRAR is pretty awesome. It was configured to virus scan anything it unpacked, and the app I got is up and running with no discernable problems. Unless there's something better out there, I'm a believer!

Hey. Quick question. I have been using torrentspy.com for all of my musical needs. Just today every torrent that i dl wont work. I cant figure out why this bitch doesnt work anymore for files that 600 people are seeding.

 

Are there any other good torrent sites and what is the best torrent program to run out there?

If computing speeds double every two years,

what happens when computer-based AIs are doing the research?

 

Computing speed doubles every two years.

Computing speed doubles every two years of work.

Computing speed doubles every two subjective years of work.

 

Two years after Artificial Intelligences reach human equivalence, their speed doubles. One year later, their speed doubles again.

 

Six months - three months - 1.5 months ... Singularity.

 

Plug in the numbers for current computing speeds, the current doubling time, and an estimate for the raw processing power of the human brain, and the numbers match in: 2021.

 

But personally, I'd like to do it sooner.

But is that in predictive/analytical/abstract thought process capabilities, or actual computing potential based upon what the brain is capable of if it were being used at 100% of its ability?

 

It's scary and inspiring at the same time.

but who knows if actual programming will catch up to theoretical computing speed by then?

 

 

I think at a certain point, perhaps by 2010, 2015, computers will reach abilities needed by most consumers (full screen digital videos, databases with most knowledge, networks etc), then shit will slow down, but who knows? i think we need to catch up on infrastructure and data before we can move to the next level...

The question is, when it becomes the break-even point, who's going to do the programming? Will human intellect even be applicable once machines have exceeded them in the areas of abstract thought?
