It actually was pixel art, hand ( or rather mouse) crafted by the artist using a real picture for reference. I remember reading an article way back when where they interviewed her about the artwork. Amazing artist who I think at the time w

There is in depth information on its workings, on the website itself, in the newsgroups and in the podcast. If the author of the article were to look it would remove any "magic" of its workings. The author apparently has an axe to

Im guessing the author of this has somewhat of an issue with Steve Gibson and GRC, and has obviously spent some time mulling over how to write a very wordy and seemingly in-depth bashing of the their Spinrite software. However if you like m

That was a trip down memory lane. I loved the Amiga, I owned 3 of them at one stage, but ended up moving on after the collapse of Commodore. Still has a place in my nostalgic heart though

I do see your point on this, though not sure if you can use that differentiation between human inspiration and what a computer is doing, we take a mental image and interpretation could be seen as metadata. Just because the mechanics are dif

Well while I see your eagerness to defend the definition of human, it may for futures sake be a very valid question. It may not be too far in the future here we will see brain enhancements, or maybe even ocular implants which a "human&
