Are artificially intelligent!
If you provide the if statement with a significantly robust training set does it change the value of the statement for given inputs to match experience? Does the experience learned corrollate when provided with a data set that was not used in training?
A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation."

The world is not black and white... when the computer can look at an "if" statement and decide that neither answer is "completely true" then it will have AI.
An if statement is a double bind, a rigid construct with no escape... it is a cage. When the computer can decide that the conditional no longer applies and that a new decision has to be made, then that is AI.

If we are marketing the product then yes.
However, if you can ask the system why it choose the case, it choose then I would argue it quasi - intelligent, maybe in the goldfish or slug catagory :P

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Very useful, I shall wait until tonight though (IT admin might flip if I download it here)
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9

Seems my sys admin block my net usage for this big download... it's near 2 GB

Nice! And I'll finish downloading all three disks when "May 2008 Edition" will be avaliable for download!

Really nice. But someone has to tell Microsoft that there's DVDs out since a few years already

What they really should be looking into is P2P distribution of these files.
If they're going to offer them to the public anyway, why not offer the download in a more convenient form (bittorrent comes to mind).

Personally I'm glad they're not in torrent form, the ISP here limits bandwidth if data comes in on a p2p port range but a dvd iso would have been nicer than 3 disks.
MS direct download 900-1200kbp/s combined w/ 3 running
torrent downloads 20kbp/s if we're lucky to hit that on this ISP (they claim its there way to fight pirated software)

woo, ms _hates_ p2p and all the related stuff
there's a strong relationship between p2p and piracy established in the brains of executives.

Is that from the A. Whitney Brown on Saturday Night Live awhile back? He was pretty funny, but whatever happened to him?

I have recently been working on a tutorial site aimed towards helping people who are new to the internet and computers in general. Not to imply that anybody here is either of which of course! Anyways, to spice things up I was thinking of adding a freeware page. I know lots of you have great stuff so I thought I'd check to see if anybody was interested in a little publicity for their efforts. Full credit posted as per the authors request of course!
If interested or you have any questions please send me an email at eternity_dreamer@hotmail.com the website can be found at http://isitworking.no-ip.biz
My sincere apologies if this post is considered spam >.<
