Right price for used computers and TVs

Pasi Hakkarainen — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 08:00:40 +0000

I have once bought a used PC and I saved a lot of money. I bought an old Compaq from the University with 50 € and I used it for three years. Especially in these days, people should consider more carefully, where to invest their money.

When buying used computers, you should first consider, how are you going to use it. If you are going to play the latest games, used computers may not be your choice. But if your are just going to write articles and use web a little bit, you should definitely look for the cheapest PC without any special features.

When you know, what you want, you can start to search you PC. Then the challenge is to know, what is the used computer worth. You definitely don’t want to pay too much for used stuff.

GadgetValue.com is a free web site, which tells users the approximate market value of used computers, tvs and ipods. If you have found a suitable solution for you, you can check the approximate market value at the site and then negotiate about the price with the seller. The interface is very easy and fast enough to use. And I checked the site with my own PC, and I quite much agree with the price.

Planning AI for cyberants

Pasi Hakkarainen — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:54:12 +0000

To build AI for a robot, you need basically three components: 1) Sensor, 2) Logic, and 3) Actor.

Sensors task is to observe the environment and send messages to the logic center. Sensors cannot sense everything, but the only thing they are planned to observe like: movement, heat, light, darkness, voice etc. Examples about organic sensors are: eye, ear, nose, and skins ability to sense cold and warm. Examples about artificial sensors are radars, and sensors for movent, heat, light etc.

Logic has to decide the funtionality based on the sensors observation and available contermeasures. Logic can be seen as software, which guides the robot’s functionality.

Actor is responsible about the functionality of the robot. Countermeasures against observed thing or event can be moving, stopping, firing and hitting. Whatever the robots task is.

At my work with organization’s information, we use security cameras to increase the information security. Server rooms and IT management office spaces are under continuous camera surveillance. But with cameras, there can be huge differences in the quality. And to be honest, poor quality cameras equal to nothing. There is no sense in having cameras, which do not provide clear images, when needed.
