es tan lamentable que la naturaleza humana sea tan ambiciosa (lo mas probable sea aprendido).
un consejo para ustedes;
"TIENEN VENTAJA, MANTENLA Y NO PROCUREN PRESIONAR O ATACAR MAS, MAS Y MAS"
acabo de meter la pata (o las 4) por querer ganar en GRANDE y lo unico que tenia que hacer era mantener mi ventaja...PERO NO!!!! queria mas, mas, MAS y MAS.

co by to by³o jakby ka¿dy z nas zacz±³ pisaæ w swoim jêzyku? chyba nie za ciekawie. dlatego przyjê³o siê ¿eby pisaæ po angielsku albo przynajmniej t³umaczyæ na angielski. chyba ¿e kto¶ nie zna angielskiego... -- imagine all of us would write in his/her own tongue. it doesnt look comfortable. thats why it is used to writing in english or at least translate to english. different thing is if someone doesnt know english...

i think esperanto should be an international language due to its easiness to learn. and id prefer to learn it instead of english. however its not popular. english rules because of colonisation and politics and many other things...

If you are passionate about this, consider joining the demonstrations in Strasbourg 9 May 2004. The page europa.bunto.free.fr has more information, in different languages.
And now I'll stop being off-topic, and go back to merely being annoying. ;)

there is no polish version there:(

I'm sure the owner of the page would be delighted if you'd translate the page into polish for him. I did the Swedish version (and yes, I am the vice president of the Swedish Youth Esperanto Organisation).

ill do my best. even though i dont speak esperanto.

The `idea' of a railway is not a `unit'. When the Liverpool - "MI ABUELA DECIA" railway was built, many people could `catch' the idea of a railway from looking at it working. This did not mean that they could then go and build railways somewhere else. The amount of information needed to construct and run a railway system is enormous. The meme of a railway is a Russian Doll, which includes knowledge of suspension systems, traction systems, signalling, time tables, track maintenance, safety, finance, customer preferences etc. No single human has the complete `idea' of a railway in a brain or a computer. From the point of view of an observer rather than an operator, the idea of a railway might be thought of as a pattern consisting of fragments of memory assembled around a label - railway. From the point of view of a user, a railway is an idea in competition with ideas about other forms of transport. Whatever is meant by the idea of a railway, it is different for different people and it is not a unit. In order for syntax to exist..., successive stimuli must be related to one another in such a way that specific criteria for mobility and closure are established. Such criteria can be established only if the elements of the parameter can be segmented into discrete, nonuniform relationships so that the similarities and differences between them are definable, constant, and proportional....few people actually experience musical compositions as such, in the sense of constituting them as fully co-ordinated, objective structures. Unless they have both the training and the inclination to track the form of a piece of music in theoretical terms as they listen, people experience recurrence without actually observing what it is that recurs; they experience coherence but not the unitary organization in terms of which a theorist or analyst would explain that coherence. People enjoy musical compositions, in other words, without really perceiving them at all; rather than listening to them...they "just listen." mUSIC = ESPERANTO MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

True, true, but how does one express the phrase "You write very long and intricate replíes" in musical language?
12 Oct 2003
JLF,
Paragraphing would help. But even more important is a better command of the language you're writing in. Easier said than done, I know, but important nonetheless.
When expressing simple ideas, it usually doesn't matter much if a word in one language gets mistranslated By "mistranslated, I mean translated into a word in another language that is sometimes the correct translation of that word but are incorrect in a particular usage because languages contain differing concepts, rather than simply being mappings of different words for identical concepts. For instance, I suspect that if the previous sentence were mindlessly translated into another language and then back to English, "mapping" would be garbled into something confusing.
The desnser your prose, the more such mistranslations matter. When reading simple ideas, it's generally possible to infer the original intent, even if it's not what's actually being said. But for philosophical writing, and for some kinds of humor, that's not always possible. I suspect that's what accounts for your jokes being (IMO) completely without humor and for some of your prose turning into nonsense.

"Yo siempre he sentido un poco de lástima hacia aquellas personas que no han conocido el Ajedrez. Justamente siento lo mismo por quien no ha sido embriagado por el Amor. El Ajedrez, como el Amor, como la Música, tiene la virtud de hacer feliz al hombre" -Siegbert Tarrasch

fijate que cosa, a mi me dan pena los ajedrecistas que piensan que jugar con caballitos, reinitas y torres es lo maximo...es una pena que solo se encierran en su mundo y no descubren las multiples alternativas que ofrece la vida.
jueguen GO!!!!
como dijo lasker; "el ajedrez es para mortales, pero el GO es de los dioses" (algo asi va...jeje).

The gene pool will become an evolutionarily stable set of genes, defined as a gene pool that cannot be invaded by any new gene. Most new genes that arise, either by mutation or reassortment or immigration, are quickly penalised by natural selection: the evolutionarily stable set is restored. Occasionally a new gene does succeed in invading the set: it succeeds in spreading through the gene pool. There is a transitional period of instability, terminating in a new evolutionarily stable set - a little bit of evolution has occurred....Progressive evolution may be not so much a steady upward climb as a series of discrete steps from stable plateau to stable plateau. It may look as though the population as a whole is behaving like a single self-regulating unit. But this illusion is produced by selection going on at the level of the single gene.

oye jose, si te interesa, la inter-bayamon va a crear un torneo de ajedrez. por lo regular, la administracion no le molesta que jugadores que no sean de la institucion participen.
creo que es para finales de octubre o en noviembre.
la inter-bayamon tienen buenos jugadores.
aprovecha y disfruta

While there is undoubtedly some evolutionary drift, as JLF describes, the Gould's theory of Punctuated Equilibrium suggests that most evolutionary change happens in sudden bursts of only a few generations.
Those bursts are occasioned by rapid changed in the environment, such as climatic catastrophe or a rapid shift in the distribution of other species that interact with the one evolving. The change in conditions renders the existing form of the species much less fit, so that mutant individuals, who would normally be at a huge competitive disadvantage, may be for a while the only ones who can survive and breed. Even though the new forms are probably still not very well adapted, with little competition from their cousins they may survive enough generations to acquire other mutations that compensate for some of their deficencies.
Secondly, the notion of evolution as an upward path, whether along a steady slope or cascading mesas, is very wrong and is responsbile for much pseudo-scientific, ideologically driven nonsense over the last century and a half. Species fill niches that are there to be filled. As the environment changes, so does the collection of niches. The overall system is one of fluid self-correction. There is no "up" and "down" except as we assign those notions based on the valoues we bring to the analysis.

According to Dawkins (1993) any idea capable of transmitting itself from one person to another (replicating itself) is a meme. In Minimeme only memes that define behaviour are considered. Such memes can be "executed" by their hosts to produce an effect (e.g. movement, fighting, socialising etc.). In order to be successful and continue to exist, a meme must satisfy three conditions: it must find at least one host (an agent that stores it in its memory); the "execution" of the meme must not endanger the host's life (at least not before the meme has been able to reproduce itself); the meme must be able to resist the attack of opposing memes (termed "concurrent" memes) in the meantime. The sum of the memories of all the agents in the environment constitutes a space called the noosphere. Memes inhabit the noosphere in the same way that agents inhabit the simulated environment.

"Cuando ustedes no me vean más, ustedes me inventarán", En Honor a Luiz A Ferrer, PNP Estadista de corazon. It is well known that chess pieces can be sacrificed in order to win the overall game. In population genetics, the fitness of an animal species sometimes declines first before evolving to a higher level of survival fitness. Engineers know that unstable control systems paradoxically stabilize if combined in the right way. However, can losing gambling games be constructed so they become winning, when they are played one after each other? The answer is yes. Game A and game B are constructed to be losing if played individually, but if A and B are played in any random sequence we get a winning expectation! This strikingly counterintuitive result is called Parrondo's Paradox. We will take a look at some simple examples and show that this effect is in fact a discrete-time manifestation of a Brownian ratchet. Game theory is strongly linked to economics, social networks/dynamics and evolutionary biology. Future development of Parrondian strategies that can help to model cases where declining birth-death processes combine in a beneficial way are thus of great interest. In this talk, there will be something of interest to virtually all scientific disciplines: physicists, biologists, engineers, mathematicians and economists will all be catered for. Despierta Boricua!!! Can you tell me, Just one Computer that won a GO Game to a human.??

1er0, el x gobernador ferre fue un mediocre gobernante. su unica GRAN aportacion fue llenarse los bolsillos con el jodio cemento. eso fue una corrupcion del cara'. por razon, la autopista lleva su nombre.
2do, el hecho que no se a creado un programa de go que le gane a un goista profesional muestra la grandeza e imaginacion de la mente humana.
el ajedrez es tan simple porque solo requiere calculos, pero el GO es tan complejo que se requiere no tan solo calculo sino mucha estrategia, sentido comun y mucha imaginacion. algo que un programa le falta mucho para alcanzar.

"Complexity itself, however, is insufficient to demonstrate the direction of evolution, at least not biological evolution. Not all species have become increasingly complex: sponges, roaches, spiders, and bees, among numerous invertebrates, colonials are trapped in an endless cycle of perfected daily routines and thus have remained virtually unchanged for eons."
