2007-07-20T09:22:00.001-07:00

Scientists at the University of Alberta report that they've built an unbeatable checkers-playing computer. Their machine, Chinook, has solved checkers: It proves that if two players play perfectly, making no mistakes, the game of checkers will result in a draw.

The proof required analyzing 500 billion billion checkers positions -- 5 x 1020 -- a computational process that began in 1989 and has been running on hundreds of processors almost continuously since. Chinook now knows everything about checkers, the perfect response to any move, and the best that any human can do is drive Chinook to a draw. You can never win.

“A pencil-sized crack in the foam insulation on space shuttle Discovery's external tank sent NASA experts into meetings on Monday to determine whether to go ahead with Tuesday's scheduled launch.”

The birth of bling

The birth of jewellery and personal adornment took place up to 50,000 years earlier than thought, and in Africa rather than Europe, according to a study of three ancient, battered seashells.

Quality of sperm declines as men age

2006-06-06T01:23:00.000-07:00

Women's biological time clock has long been known, with older women having an increased risk of miscarriage and of producing children with genetic defects such as Down Syndrome.

Unlike older women, the changes in sperm did not increase the chance of producing a child with Down Syndrome, they found. But some older fathers did have an increased risk of having children with dwarfism and "a small fraction of men are at increased risks for transmitting multiple genetic and chromosomal defects."

"Our research suggests that men, too, have a biological time clock — only it is different," Eskenazi said in a statement. "Men seem to have a gradual rather than an abrupt change in fertility and in the potential ability to produce viable, healthy offspring."

Both men and women have been postponing parenthood in recent years. Since 1980, the researchers said, birth rates have increased 40% for men aged 35 to 49, while there has been a decline in births involving men under 30.

The new report looked at 97 men aged 22 to 80 and found increased fragmentation of the DNA in sperm as men age.

"This study shows that men who wait until they're older to have children are not only risking difficulties conceiving, they could also be increasing the risk of having children with genetic problems," said Wyrobek.

SlickDeals.net Forums - Build your own FREE eCommerce Web site using Amazon Instant Website

2006-06-02T18:53:00.000-07:00

The barriers to entry to e-commerce are just about gone now. The only remaining obstacles for Joe Six-Pack having his own Web store are monthly hosting fees and the hassle of getting your own domain. With this offer, Amazon eliminates both those headaches for you -- you just give them the name of your company and the URL you want to use.

And not only that, Amazon will collect the payments for you, so no need for you to fiddle with PayPal or paying a big application fee for your own credit-card merchant account.

Believe it or not, it gets even better: Amazon is thinking about offering to warehouse and ship your goods too. My understanding is this part of the program hasn't been finalized, but it's part of the plan.

Tom Cruise cooked his baby

2006-05-05T12:28:00.000-07:00

In an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters last year, Cruise said he bought a sonogram machine for then-pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes. Concerned lawmakers feared other private citizens might do the same and possibly misuse the machines.

"Having an ultrasound once, twice during the course of a pregnancy, there is no danger," Lieu spokesman David Ford said. "But too much or too often could cause the liquids in the womb to heat up, which could cause damage to the mother and fetus."
