Hi Everyone,
It's the end of the year and time to review some speculative fiction...about the future.
This hilarious, yet horrific, short story--sent to me by my dissertation committee director--should have come out at Halloween. Coming out during the Winter holiday season, it sort of reminds me of the fused "Halloween-Christmas" holiday of the far-future as depicted in Matt Groening's sci-fi Futurama episode, "A Tale of Two Santas." The "war" aspect seems to satirize the now archetypal robot-war backstory of either the Matrix series (The Animatrix) the new Battlestar Galactica series, or many other science fiction classics. Now, we have a "teacher" story. Could Michael Moore or Al Gore please make this into a film?
The Chronicle of Higher Education, by the way, is a great resource for those in our field by the way--as much as I read them, I should give them a shout-out once in a while. This dystopia, fr
Robots.txt : It is a file created by webmasters is a set of instructions for the search engines robots that index the web pages. This iscalled The Robots Exclusion Protocol.It includes User-Agent and Disallow. Here is the meaning of these words as these are very important part of robots.txt file :User-Agent : It is used for the search engine robots. It gives the permission to a particular or all robots to index thepages. Here is the syntax :User-Agent : * ("*" means all robots have permission to crawl all the files/pages)Disallow : It denies access to robots to directories/files. Here is the syntax :Disallow : /images/ (it denies access to images directory.)A simple robots.txt file should be :User-Agent: *Disallow:It means we give permission to all the robots to visit and the directories and files.It is very easy to create this file. Open notepad editor. Insert these instructions and save it by name robots in textformat. Put it in top-level directory and upload it. Suppose your website

In an effort to accelerate the development of next-generation automobiles and robots, Toyota is turning to some of Japan's top neuroscientists. According to a December 14 announcement, the automaker has teamed up with the Institute of Physical and Chemical R
He visto ultimamente en varios blogs vídeos y noticias sobre robots, y he recordado algunos vídeos que había visto en el pasado, por lo que he querido recopilarlos aquí. Me parecen muy monos, bajo ese aspecto frío y artificial, creo que se esconde un simpático y cálido corazoncito.

“Welcome to xbank. For payments press one….” We all know the trend. Automated systems, endless phone number, account number, access code punching. It is getting harder and harder to speak to a living, breathing human being when calling customer service. So next time, before you call your bank / insrance / mortgage lender or just any [...]
ROBOTIS(www.robotis.com) is the very developer of its actuators ‘Dynamixel’ that 28 humanoid robot teams participating in ‘RoboCup 2007’ adopted.Dynamixel is a high-performance actuator controlled by digital packet communication. It has unique ID controlled by Packet communication on a bus. It supports network of TTL, RS 485, and CAN, etc. depending on model. The Dynamixel can read current position of it or speed as well as various information such as internal temperature, supply voltage, target position.Featuring simple connection structure, it gives you feedback when internal temperature, torque, supply voltage escapes from appointed range. Also in such emergency situation, it flashes LED.Via AVING
American forces have deployed robots equipped with automatic weapons in Iraq, the first battlefield use of machines capable of waging war by remote control. A US division of British defence company QinetiQ revealed that the 3rd Infantry Division, which is based south of Baghdad, purchased three Talon Sword robots for operations in Iraq. Sword robots are a modified version of track-wheeled bomb disposal devices in use around the world. Soldiers operate the robots with a specially modified laptop, complete with joystick controls and a ’kill button’ that terminates its functions if it goes awry. According to the industry magazine, Defence News the US military has 80 remote controlled armoured robots on order but funding constraints has delayed delivery. More...
I haven't been eager to see the hot summer flick, the Transformers. Maybe you know about it and have seen it--it's the story of epic battles between two competing races of robots. There are the good robots: the Autobots. And the bad robots: the Decepticons. Even though I know the film is supposed to have awesome computer generated special effects and one really cute actor, I'm still not drawn to watch it.However, I have been curious about the development of robots and have been reading more about robots in the news. And then came my big laugh of the day: the best of robot-schtick when I leafed through the September Sharper Image catalog!Now you can purchase Elvis as a robot! "Heartbreakingly realistic "Alive" Elvis animatronic robot moves, talks and sings just like "The King" in his "68 Comeback Special"!" What you get is a life-size bust of Elvis Presley. Supposedly this bust "looks, feels, sounds and moves like a real person". You also get a microphone. Elvis will come and look at
If you want to see the future, look to robots. Or go see Transformers, a movie about alien shape-shifting automatons, although I don’t think the outlook for robots is nearly that bleak.The invention, development, and progress of modern technology can be seen through Uranus and that planet’s trip around the cosmic zodiac. With Uranus’ transit through mutable Pisces, a robot revolution has been taking place. Uranus now finds itself back where it was in the 1920’s, in Pisces—when we had the first short-wave radio, the first robot, not to mention the first pop-up toaster and hair dryer.In some ways, robots are already here. We have Mars explorer robots, surgery robots, battlefield robots, underwater robots, and tiny digital (ro)bots that insinuate themselves into our computers to do little, sometimes nefarious, tasks.In an article I wrote for Llewellyn’s Starview Almanac a couple of years ago, and in my book Cosmic Trends, I said that we are reprising some of the themes of the
Work at AEON is going smoother and quicker these days, haven't had any lesson preparation sessions until 5 A.M. recently:). Instead I've been enjoying my evenings with doing none-work-related-stuff, like watching movies or studying Japanese and it's great! Saturdaynight, Yasu was back in Inuyama and picked me up from work. He met my coworkers and saw the school, and it was pretty weird and distracting to have him there, but it was fun to show him where I spend most of my time.Today, we went to Nagoya to get me a re-entry permit at the immigration office. Foreigners living and working in Japan on a visa need to get such a permit if they want to travel abroad and be allowed back into the country afterwards. It's very important, because if you don't get one they really won't let you back in and that effectively ends your job and life in Japan. And as I am very eager to go home for Obon week but not willing to say goodbye to my Japanese life just yet, I needed to get one. I was prepared to
"Webmasters can now mark parts of a page with a 'robots-nocontent' tag which will indicate to our crawler what parts of a page are unrelated to the main content and are only useful for visitors.
This morning Search Engine Land released details of a "robots-nocontent" tag that has just been adopted by Yahoo. The tag will allow site owners to block portions of a page from searches. This means that blocked content will still be indexed by Yahoo!'s search engine spider but it will not be among the searchable content at Yahoo.What would be the purpose of such a robots-nocontent tag? Perhaps you have a few paragraphs of generic content duplicated across several pages of your website and you are suspicious the dupe content is hampering rankings. In this case you can now block that specific content from searches and test your assumptions. It remains to be seen how well this tag will work but it is always favorable to have more tools in the optimization tool chest.ImplementationThe new tag must be included as a "class" in these exact words "robots-nocontent" and can be included anywhere in the page. If wide areas need to be blocked then simply use DIV tags to encapsulate the content.A
Definition : It is a file that gives the permission to the search engines to control the the indexing of webpages.Suppose you have few files or directories on the webserver which you want not to allow to the search engines to visit then you can control it by using Robots.txt file.Search Engines uses spider to read Robots.txt file. To read it by Search Engines, save the Robots.txt file in the root directory. Suppose you have a website name http://www.yourname.com then your Robots.txt must be located here :http://www.yourname.com/robots.txt.Syntax in Robots.txt : The two syntax used in Robots.txt :User-agent : (Here user agent is spider eg. Google use googlebot as User Agent, MSN use msnbot as User Agent) Disallow : (You can disallow particular directory or file to visit by spider) Example :User-agent : *Disallow : /image.htm/In this robots.txt file, you are allowing all the search engines to spider your website but you are not allowing to search engines to spider image.htm file of your
