Perhaps, if the science fictionists are right, one day these driverless machines – which do have brains, after all – might decide to take to the road themselves, aided and directed by their computer mates controlling their satellite navigation systems, and other computer accomplices that run road-traffic signals and flows.
An acquaintance was telling the story of his computer-savvy mate who had worked out the seating plan for his wedding via something called an optimisation algorithm.
Doesn't anyone want to shift gears for themselves anymore, even if that computer chip mated to a cosmotronic transmission gets your new Porsche to 60 a half-second faster than your right hand?
Finally, the research assistant will be informed by the computer-assisted MATE, whether the patient has been randomly assigned to either the IG or the CG.
Japanese PC maker NEC yesterday announced a desktop computer called the Mate, which is designed to be silent.
Nonetheless, in computer simulations of mating and reproduction based on field data of Tropheus and using different assumptions on mate choice behavior and reproductive biology, the operational sex ratio was strongly male-biased and similar to that retrieved from simulations of a polygynous system without male investment in reproduction (Sefc, 2008).
For some years, this position held the record for the longest computer-generated forced mate.
Firstly, on the surface is my memory of playing computer games with mates, going to the video shop and renting out the latest titles that nobody could afford to buy, staying up late and laughing as we defeated the next boss and ate crisps.
To investigate statistical properties and limitations of the method developed in the present study, we considered three schemes for sampling cases and controls from computer simulated randomly mating populations.
"O.K., now that I've eaten I feel like mating," and he located a mate the computer had generated for him.
