It would put the kibosh on the whole contoversey to sample it at high bit resolution and a high sampling rate.

Wrong

I was just looking at the google cache of that page and there are loads more instances (including the 2029). Do they remove the ones too unlikely to happen once they get better measurements? (Or insert conspiracy theory here)

Yep, looks like it. I'd like to know what made Cherie smile like that and tip her head to the side.

So, just in case you have forgotten, from 1 January 2005:

all NHS organisations must reply within 20 working days to any credible written request for information from anywhere in the world
the request can be made by email or written on a piece of paper and made to any member of staff
it does not have to refer to the Freedom of Information Act
you cannot ask the reason for the request, or question its reasonableness you can work with the person requesting information to help them clarify what it is they are after so that you can best meet the request
and, from 1.1.05, the European Environmental Information Regulations take effect which means that any verbal or written question about [the environmental effects of your services or products] must be answered
as well as maintaining your publication schemes"

In summary, remember how Google works, and work with it. How about getting the Alumni of your Small Town to link to the association's site from their own personal or business sites?

Oh, the irony of my .sig (Slashdot has Google Juice coming out of its ears)

Similar.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch of imagination for them to play brothers.

Have a look on Google for Piracetam. Similar thing. I tried to find out about side effects, but I couldn't find any. Someone I know takes a load before reading a whole set of Cisco coursebooks. It works for him - He's not a CCIE - yet, but he's a CCISP, and all the other ones.

"If you want to work on it then you need to do that PLUS you need to make it pass the Bobby Accessibility Guidelines".

Beware that just because something passes Bobby, it doesn't necessarily mean it's completely accessible. As the W3C themselves point out, there is no automated test that can prove or disprove that your site is accessible. Several people have come up with accessibility checklists, however, which are a good place to start (as is Bobby, for that matter; it's just not a good place to finish).

How can posting a list of files possibly be illegal?

That is all that Suprnova ever did. Now, if its illegal to post a list of files, it must also be illegal to print one in a newspaper, or write one on a piece of paper with a pencil anad photocopy it.

If you go a google search for "index of" apache *.dmg* "port 80" you get lots and lots of links to copyrighted software. By your flawed logic, Google "is just plain illegal" because it provides lists of files just as Supernova did.

Printing a list can never be an illegal act. At least not in a free country it cant.

You can get Google suggest on google.co.uk here: http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=1&hl=en

Exactly. See, for instance, this project (google cache as the original server seems to be down at the moment) which provides an implementation of this idea as a Linux filesystem.

I still think I want a better newsgroup archiving site. I never have liked Google Group's searching abilities, or lackthereof. You can search for a string with a period it in, no matter how you quote or escape it. That's a real pain when searching for IPs or domains with common words in them.

firstly,
'Huh? No it doesn't. It shows that if you let electons pass undetected'

the problem? is it works with a SINGLE electron just as well as with a beam of electrons.

You sentence would then be
'Huh? No it doesn't. It shows that if you let an electon pass undetected through two slits[but it's a partical?] you get an interference pattern.
The distance between the dark and light lines on the screen is related to the separation of the slits, but has nothing to do with the "size" of the particle. It is related to the wavelength of the of particle but that take almost any value by changing the energy of the partical,
wavelength = h/sqrt(2mE) where h is planck's constant and m is the mass of the particle and E its energy.'

SFAIK the wavelength of a partical is essencially related the probablity that a partical will be at one point or another when measured.

If you don't measure the partical it passes through both the slits as a probablity wave (wave length h/sqrt(2mE)) , which then interfears with itself.

So, if you were to put a sheet of photographic paper on the other side of the slits and let one photon through every year and waited a very long time you would still get an interfearance pattern

There are some weird explamations for this, everythng from,
there are lots of particals traveling in lots of different dimenstions that interact with each other, it just that you can only interact with one.
To the partical travles as a wave until it is 'measured' upon wich point it collapses.

I would say that the interction in the measurement requires that the wave become 'coherent' to a point with a probablity xyz dependant on the wave and the measuring mechinism. 'solid/particulate' matter has a high coherence 'wavey' matter has a low coherence.

[this is a solid->gas type of coherence not a lazer->light bulb type coherence].

Quantum Entanglement.

Well, to you I would say.

When two particals become entangled, by modifying one you can cause an effect instantly in the other, even though they may be some distance appart and nothing can be detected passing between them.

No ones quite sure how this happens, in fact some of the ideas sound about as plausable as 'well when you moved that one, God moved the other'.

Which brings me to my point, if you believe in God there are very few things left that could justify such a belief.

People sure as hell don't have a soul, or at least you can explain everything about a human without needing a soul, just like a stone doesn't have a soul.

There's no such thing as 'good' and 'evil'

The earth wasn't created in seven days, it's not flat and the universe doesn't rorate around it.

There's no God of the Sun or of the Sea, harvests don't get better if we pray etc....

So the only part that God has to play in our lives is that of the Quantum world. (God doesn't play dice with the universe springs to mind)

If you accept that effects such as 'Quantum Entanglement' have nothing to do with God, then you have no requirement for God to exist. Infact if you hadn't have meet monotheists would you still entertain the idea?

I do not have a problem with people believing in 'God' or anything pre-say, but I do have a problem when that 'God' dictates Good and Evil which is a basic chareteristic of a monotheistic religion.

If you want a more definitive answer look here, or here or even here.

Do you remember Rampage for the sega master system?

Of course, http://www.google.co.uk/grphp would work best for all disgruntled Anglophones.

If you don't like the new itnerface, just use it with a country code domain rather than .com. I've checked the UK, Canadian, French, German, and Australian versions, and all have the classic interface, rather than the new one.

Of course this is bound to die soon, unless Google see sense.

I agree with everyone else here the new interface is crap.

Luckily the rot hasn't spread to the national Googles yet, so you can still use Google UK if you need it.. at least until they ruin that too.

I thought that google.tv was for providing location-specific search for the residents of Tuvalu, just like google.ca or google.co.uk...

Actually there was a buffer overflow reported recently in apache. It just wasn't reported that much. Similarly there was a second .png and xml exploit about two weeks ago affecting many applications, including those mentioned here.

My point is that somethings are reported more widely than others. You can speculate about why.

However - If your really interested in security, then its a good idea subcribe to security mailing lists like those hosted at security focus or zone-h. Or even a Full-Disclosure list.

The BBC now has an article on this.

Obviously so do lots of other sites

> It seems to only be the US version of google that censored. Performing

I did a search on google.co.uk and none of the torture pictures show up. But on the first page a picture of happy, smiling Iraqis and American troops cutting a ribbon shows up courtesy of Centcom - I think that picture made me feel more nauseous than the torture pics.

A search for Lynndie England returns nothing.

Google have to come up with a pretty convincing explanation as to why these searches turn up nothing - an explanation that doesn't include censorship or technical incompetence or else I'm off to find me a better search engine.

If as others have suggested that they don't update their picture index for 6 months.....well that's pretty pathetic from the leading search engine if it's the case.

hell, some time ago ppl used to "free" source code like this just for fun. only greedy kids nowadays it seems ;)
and not smart... or very smart and this is a scam... If I were selling it, first thing would be to contact key agencies/companies anonymously, not this freak high-profile thing. sounds bad. and there are no md5 or something of a few files to prove it is the real thing.
Seen IOS and other srcs years ago... This is what they get for playing the closed source game: FEAR. :)

I'd be interested to see where you got this information from. Currently there isn't even enough conclusive reasearch to say what dyslexia is, or even what all the symptoms are. A lot is known from experience of dealing with dyslexics, but most of the research done has been inconclusive.

(I say this as a practising dyslexic my self).

Do a Google search for success acclaim dichotomy and you will see it is not a new concept. Still it was a good line, and I'm sure we'll see it in someone's sig soon.

British scientists have observed that, although they've largely eliminated acid rain causing pollution from power stations

I did Google it:

1. Motorola
2. Motorola
3. Museum of Tolerance
4. Larz Anderson Car Museum
5. Motorola again
6. Motorola yet again
7. The Ministry of Trade for Vietnam
8. UKMOT with no explanation from Google on what that is (and thus no reason to investigate that page)
9. Cambodia Tourism
10. Microarray Databases

I finally figured out that "UKMOT" is what you're talking about, but no, it wasn't obvious, even after Googling.

Interestingly, Google UK doesn't even return UKMOT as a result on the first page. Though if you click "Pages from the UK", you get not UKMOT, but this page

With the amount of cross-Atlantic traffic, you could've helped us Yanks (not to mention the non-native English speakers) out with at least the full name .. which, even after reading their FAQ I still don't know what MOT stands for.

You could've also said "annual saftey inspection" in the original post instead of the UK-specific "MOT".

You're obviously trying to express information (by posting), which I applaud; you'll reach many more minds if you make your post self-explanatory, or at least provide a link.

It is *extremely* difficult to get the car into a situation where you lose the hydraulics to the point that the steering won't function at all, though. I have driven one home with a burst suspension pipe, and only about half a litre of fluid in the system (just enough to keep the brakes and steering going) - the steering worked but was incredibly twitchy, because there wasn't enough pressure for the speed-controled damping to work.

If that had happened in Britain, the 76yo lady would be vilified as a nonce, and quite likely get paint all over her windows and maybe petrol through her letter box. And if we had such a thing as Sarah's Law {as opposed to Megan's Law}, then anybody else who ever lived in that house for the next hundred years or so would also be vilified as a nonce.

And the kid would have been given trauma counselling, and probably sued somebody for millions.

IMHO, what the world needs is retrospective abortion. And I am hereby challenging any and every pro-life, children-are-sweet-and-innocent types out there to spend a year living in Alvaston and hold onto those opinions.

Google's cache of the frontpage - nothing special to look at

Hopefully the germans learn English so they can us the English version of Google then.

They don't need to. They just have to change the domain. So, taking that original german link and replacing de with co.uk you get a Google search in German, but with the full results.

If you're an American overseas and still want to vote, I think the easiest way is just to drop an email to the US Embassy in your country telling them what state your from.

You embargoed an island nation currently at war. What did you expect the response to be? Removal from Christmas card lists? ;-)

Those in charge at the time were either complete morons or they knew what they were doing. And as common conceptions about Pearl Harbour are debatable (e.g. radio silence), I'd tend to go for the later. Goggle for "Remember the Maine", this is not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Linux Implements O(1) Sheduler

Does NT have one?

* Yes NT debuted with an O(1) Scheduler: WIN499 - Windows vs Linux: A tale of two kernels

* Here is an interesting thread on the topic of Security Models: SELinux & Windows Security Comparison

That is pretty funny, isn't it. I mean, Linux has met or surpassed NT in all of these areas in spite of the fact that Microsoft was shipping a "production-quality" NT when Linux was barely functional.

Well, thats a nice proposition.
