Second Life avatar almost human

Edd Hifeng barely merits a second glance in Second Life. A steel-gray robot with lanky limbs and linebacker shoulders, he looks like a typical avatar in the popular virtual world, but Edd is different. His actions are animated not by a person at a keyboard but by a computer. Edd is a creation of AI, by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, who endowed him with a limited ability to converse and reason. It turns out that Second Life is more than a place where pixelated avatars chat, interact and fly about. It’s also a frontier in AI research because it’s a controllable environment where testing intelligent creations is easier.

Second Person

Aeonite writes "As we all learned in English class, there are three points of view one can employ when writing: first person ("I learned"), second person ("You learned"), and third person ("He learned"). You are about to read a review of Second Person: Role-Playing and Story in Games and Playable Media, a book that addresses the use of second-person narration in games and related media. You are also likely to be eaten by a Grue." Read below for the rest of Michael's review.

Cricket: England stars react to Second Test victory

Monty Panesar was named the Second Test’s man-of-the-match for his game-turning second-innings haul of six for 37.

A spectacular second-half strike from Bradley Johnson and a late Tresor Kandol goal ensured Leeds rounded off the regular campaign with a third successive victory, condemning Gillingham to the drop and setting up a play-off double header with Carlisl

Despite trailing 1-0 at the break, Leeds - no doubt inspired by a Coca Cola League season record crowd of 38,256 - turned things around in the second half and their 15th home win of the season earned United fifth place in the final League One table - but second place in the 'Real League One' standings.

The 25-Year-Old BSD Bug

sproketboy writes with news that a developer named Marc Balmer has recently fixed a bug in a bit of BSD code which is roughly 25 years old. In addition to the OSnews summary, you can read Balmer's comments and a technical description of the bug. "This code will not work as expected when seeking to the second entry of a block where the first has been deleted: seekdir() calls readdir() which happily skips the first entry (it has inode set to zero), and advance to the second entry. When the user now calls readdir() to read the directory entry to which he just seekdir()ed, he does not get the second entry but the third. Much to my surprise I not only found this problem in all other BSDs or BSD derived systems like Mac OS X, but also in very old BSD versions.
