It's been a while but I used an addon called Add to Search Bar and I think I just right click on the search field while I was at https://encrypted.google.com/ then it gave an option for me to add this field to the search engines. It doesn't provide real time suggestions but I don't care about that.

Good call. Added Google SSL to the search bar. I use https://encrypted.google.com/ as my normal Google page. Main reason for that is i prefer the results opened a new tab rather then showing in whatever page i happen to search from, or having open a new tab.

To be or not to be, that is the Question

It would be interesting to compare that to, say

How is babby formed?

Java has a very small memory footprint by default.

Erm. No. Just no.

class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { while (true); } }

(jdk 1.7.0.6 x86_64 linux)

17M resident for that. 0.5G of virtual address space. The only other class referenced is java.lang.String.

The equivalent Perl is 1.7M. Node.js is 9M. Python is 4M. TCL is 1.9M.

EVERYTHING uses less RAM than bleeping Java. A lot less. And this isn't some fail test where Java gets better as applications scale. Go look over here and observe how almost every other language consumes less memory across a wide variety of algorithms. Anecdotal evidence from any app server admin will corroborate this.

Java is a RAM pig and it always has been. The problem, at least regarding initial memory footprint (and start-up time), is excessive class loading. This is not opinion. There has been a project to correct it on the books for almost four years.

Like everything else with Java, it has been neglected. Supposedly the results will appear in JDK 9..... sometime in 2015.

And don't cite Android as some exception. Dalvik isn't JRE.

You keep trying to get me to do it with Chrome, so I switched from that, but now you're going to badger me about this for my phone, too?

I don't understand why it was necessary for you to switch away from Chrome. Could you be more specific? In particular, I think all your points can be addressed easily in Chrome today (and I don't think the future stuff in this paper will change that).

You don't have to sign in to Chrome. To avoid it, (checking) you have to say "Skip for now" in the initial setup of the Chrome profile and ignore the small text "Not signed into Chrome. You're missing out - sign in" at the top of new tabs. Sound right? Maybe that text is pushier than you like, but it doesn't regularly interrupt your workflow or anything. You miss out on some features like shared bookmarks between devices, the ability to see what tabs are open on other devices, and auto-signin to Google services, but it sounds like you don't trust Google enough to be able to benefit from these services.

Sometimes I want to surf anonymously.

Is there something wrong with Incognito mode? This feature has existed in Chrome from the very beginning. Of the well-known browsers, only Safari had it first.

Sometimes I don't want Site X and Site Y knowing that I'm the same person logging into both.

This shouldn't be a concern in Chrome any more than in other browsers (except perhaps if signed into Chrome and Site X and Site Y are both Google services, but that can be addressed as well - read on). I'm not aware of any major security problems in cookie handling, for example. And Chrome allows you to really easily have separate profiles for different identities. (I guess the feature's called "Users" now; it's pretty prominent in the settings.) I do this all the time - one window with a happy guy in the upper right corner for my personal stuff, one window with a ninja in the upper right corner for my work stuff. Entirely different cookies between the two windows, and they can be signed into Chrome as different Google users as well. I love this feature. I'm surprised that as far as I know other major browsers still don't have it.

And I can say for certain that all the time, I don't want to be tracked by you so you can present me with more "targeted ads" to give me a better user experience.

Okay. Then you should probably opt out of ad personalization at www.google.com/ads/preferences to stop delay of personalized ads. Set a "do-not track" cookie through your browser's preferences. (In recent Chrome releases, it's at the bottom under "Advanced Settings".) And, while you're there, if you have other Chrome data collection enabled (IIRC this was opt-in rather than opt-out during Chrome installation) and have since become concerned about it, uncheck "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors", "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar", "Enable phishing and malware protection", etc. These are all things you can turn off, and it's pretty clear what you're giving up by doing so, so I think it's not hard to make an informed choice.

Full disclosure: I work for Google (not on Chrome or this paper). My opinions are my own. I have a tough time understanding these criticisms - first of all, I don't understand if you think targeted ads and the other stated reasons for this data collection are for are inherently evil somehow (I disagree) or if you think Google is secretly using them for something far more nefarious (what?). Secondly, I don't think Google makes it harder than other browser vendors / websites to turn them off. It's probably much smarter for me not to feed this discussion but, screw it, I would like to actually understand the concern. It's too vague now for me to do anything but dismiss it.

I use Bollywood as an example because I don't think Hollywood accounting would ever work with a service completely dependent on ad-revenue for investment. I imagine Bollywood accounting is more creative and adaptable to a service like Megaconz might be. Though I have never seen a similar model generating millions (they may exist), Low production value (yet quality) youtube channels for example generate hundreds of thousands of ad-revenue.

As an example Bollywood might also be able to pay to have the links to their freely hosted content on mega bumped to the top of the search pages, and thereby out-compete the pirates. Some of their films grossing in the millions. They are also not dictated by U.S. Laws. The economy in India seems to be run on peanuts compared to the oil it takes to grease U.S. palms. I don't know much about other countries film and media industries so I am pulling very imaginary and speculative rabbits out of a non-existent virtual internet hat. I am hoping someone with much more knowledge can back me up or explain why It will never work. So far reading the thread the negative pundits are just flaming Kim and crying that he is an evil malware infesting hacker and fraudster. I'm looking for legitimate business idealism. It doesn't matter what kind of person is running the oil rigs, their current management practices are what matter.

In other words, may the best Ferengi win. Sometimes less regulated and freerer markets are better overall even if some people get out bid in them. Ferengis know when to work around the law and how to do it. I see great Grand Nagus Potential in Kim.

yeah, it's a special bar..

Wikipedia cites that plants have a metabolic conversion efficiency of six per cent [wikipedia.org].

As a biologist, this figure seemed a little high, so I took a look around.

Hallenbeck (2012) states on p. 250:

"...maximum photosynthetic efficiencies cannot be higher than 5.5% in theory, and in practice achieving efficiencies of 1 or 1.5% are exceptional".

However, this statement applies only to algae-based biofuels, and the discrepancy appears to be due to the current difficulty in dealing with real-life algae culture problems.

Zhu, Long, and Ort (2008) give some figures for land-plants:

"...the maximum conversion efficiencies of solar radiation into biomass are 4.6% (C3) and 6.0% (C4) at 30C... ...The highest solar energy conversion efciency reported for C3 crops is about 2.4% and about 3.7% for C4 crops across a full growing season based on solar radiation intercepted by the leaf canopy."

"These observed solar energy conversion efficiencies noted above for C3 and C4 crops, while well below the theoretical maximums that we computed in Figure 2, are nevertheless threefold to fourfold larger than the average conversion efficiency attained for major crops in the U.S."

Great then, meh....

Show me some photos of your solar generator then. Certainly if you are not a greentard then you must be a prepper! So let's see your shit, show us your solar array and your fucking wall full of voltage regulation and frequency control... Or GUns or Garden or GOld, Are you using steel plates in water to generate hydrogen? No? Figure out how to pressurize your hydrogen yet? No? U Fucktard, This time ur one liner won't do it.

The reality is Gas from plants is a cleanup operation. God knows what the car behind you will be breathing!
More chemicals and more bs.

Hydrogen is the future. First you must toss out most of the shit we use for GAS engines, and re-tool it for the resonant frequency of water. http://www.google.com/search?&q=water+frequency Even without RF being applied, just a fucking solar panel on the roof going into steel plates, phenolic separator, tap water pumped into (got a compressor?) balloons!

So the reality right now is one dummy with 150 watt panel could generate a big bang. Just can't DRIVE on it / or KABOOM every day.

You dummies behind the keyboards need to get the fuck out, it's a big world out there and you don't know jack shit about it, hiding behind your computer simulations about how a dam should work! fucking assholes, you don't even know the difference between 20 yards of cement and 20 yards of shit is. You can't estimate the forces of nature by your 5 senses with a safety factor anymore! You don't know the difference between green rock and granite.

YOUR FUCKED!

And why do I say YOU are fucked, and not me?

Cause I won't be around to watch you young misguided dumb shits fuck this world up. I grew up with the best, I knew the builders of the dams you enjoy your fucking water from. You think the future is bright now? Man have you got a wake up call. Watch how your wake up call comes right as your trying to learn.

For padding on your part let's pretend he stripped naked directly after successfully downloading everything and instantly uploading it to a remote Bit Torrent server, ran up to the librarians desk and took a diaretic shit right in the middle of it does that justify 4 million dollars and 50 years?

Feedbooks.com is a great place. Lots of freebies, and their freebies tend to be formatted better than the same public domain books on Amazon and Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg is great - but they do skimp on some formatting and features. Also the Google Play Store has lots of freebies also - usually, but not always with the best formatting around. I have a Kindle, and unlike many of the public domain books from Amazon the Google Play Books are usually DRM free so I have no problem converting them to a Kindle compatible format using Calibre.

I've even taken to fixing some ebooks with crappy formatting on my own and converting online reference material to useful formats using Sigil.

I started out adding to you comment, I probably should have top leveled.

No one makes 7 round magazines today, even for low capacity handguns.

17,300 results suggests that you might just be wrong

The EPA has actually made huge strides in the U.S. To the point that big cities which used to have smog constantly and you could see the air are now clear.

So, naturally, Republicans want to end the EPA. Can't let the hippies win!

I keep hearing pro-gun people talk about how cars are just as dangerous. Yet cars are even easier to acquire than guns, and more prevalent. Therefore it stands to reason there should be multiple examples of people using cars to kill groups of people. And yet... there aren't. I can only find one example from several years ago of a person intentionally hitting a crowd of people. All other examples are little old ladies who can't find the brakes. In all cases there were multple injuries and almost no fatalities. There were 13 mass shootings last year, killing 89. How many people were intentionally killed by car attacks last year? Why weren't there more attacks by car?

Your Google skills suck. Also, you're being very selective in what you call "attacks by car." Search for "car bomb" and expand outside of the US. When you add enough security to make guns ineffective, that's one of the major alternatives for preplanned events. And don't imagine that the explosive device is hard to create -- you only need certain, non-exotic gasses to create nasty mixtures, with Columbine being a poorly executed variant of this.

People prefer guns, but will readily shift to other means to attempt mass killings. Another example where a vehicle substituted for guns due to security restrictions is a certain light aircraft attack that you should recall.

The point of the car example is not that there is endemic population raring to engage in mass vehicular homicide. It's that nobody demands oddball restrictions on cars despite repeated instances of mass or attempted mass murder using cars, yet many demand the absolute elimination of mass killings by guns by any means. Balance utility and frequency for cars, but not for guns -- opposition by the gun owners is merely heartless support for a "blood sactifice."

No, I don't think there is any way to prevent all gun violence.... I do think we should do something instead of throwing our hands up in the air, declaring the problem impossible to solve...

So, "the problem" starts somewhere between killing one and twelve... there is an "acceptable loss?" How many? Either that or you're refusing to deal with the inherent contradiction between reality and your perjorative attacks on others.

I do think we can do better than the status quo. I do think we should do something instead of.... tossing our children away in a blood sacrifice.

And what is this nebulous "something"? You've already rejected the "armed guard" as something sufficient. You've already implicitly rejected bans on extended magazines as something sufficient (standard handgun magazine is 10-15, two guns and close range...). Each additional "something" has a cost.

You're suggesting that the existing licensing, design restrictions, and in some cases outright bans are insufficient to prevent "tossing our children away in a blood sacrifice," but you won't put up some solutions of your own for review. You certainly don't address mental heath issues -- the gun owners should be criminals merely for possessing some (any) type of weapon.

You don't get to declare measure of what is not "a blood sacrifice" without seeing just how hard "better than the status quo" is.

I regret to inform you that language usage changes. If it didn't, when you said 'magazine' you would have linked to this instead:

Taking a quick peek at their stock ticker on Google, I don't think the markets have been impressed at all, in fact more the opposite. That they are hyping up such a small feature enhancement as this so badly seems like they are completely out of any ideas to increase revenue and are down to grasping at any straws they can. I guesses at a long slow slide into mediocrity for Facebook in the aftermath of their IPO, and so far I've not seen anything that makes me think they might avoid that fate.

Find me a company with a PE of ~11.5 that does have negative earnings.

Hint: RIMM and Nokia have negative earnings, what are their P/E ratios?

But yeah, pull up any company that has limited growth prospects, Dell, Xerox, Diebold, etc. etc. etc. Or, you know, do your own search: http://www.google.com/finance#stockscreener

That's one of the dumber arguments I've ever seen on Slashdot.

Sir, the reinforcements have arrived.

Pretty sure you have a poor understanding of valuation models then.

1/4 of that price is CASH. Growth rates of 25-75%.

Any other company not named Apple would have a PE of like 25, which would translate to a price of $1100 or $1T.

Even that PE is not very high for a strong growth company like AAPL has been.

Heck, a PE of 25 gets you large 'growth' companies like Visa, SAP, AT&T, Bristol Myers Squib.

So all of the chemicals are known, then? There aren't any "trade secrets" or "proprietary chemicals" which allow companies to avoid disclosing at least one chemical present in the mixture? So I guess section 322 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the so-called "Halliburton Loophole") is just an imaginary or unnecessary piece of legislation that does not bear the signature of a President?

I guess it depends on how you define "known". I mean, in PA, there's a law that says a doctor can file a request with a company that requires them to disclose the identity and amount of any chemicals used in fracking. So I guess it is "known" by that regard.

However, if these chemicals are so "known", then why did the PA legislature pass a law last year which essentially placed a gag order on physicians, preventing them from even telling the patient what has made them sick? (I gave you Google so you can pick and choose which media outlet you prefer, so that I can avoid being called "biased" based on the source provided) Only chemicals which are not "trade secrets" will be publicly available. In order to have access to the "trade secret" chemicals, you need to sign an NDA - which means you can't even tell the patient about the chemicals.

I grew up on a farm and we owned a few horses. In western PA, no less. I've shoveled my fair share of horse poop, so I know what it smells and looks like - and this isn't it.

Yepp, I second that.

There was once a game from a german company. Gothic or something was its name. I had an original game pack as a gift from a friend who did no longer play it. However: the manual was missing.

No big deal usually.
You can find screenshots here: https://www.google.com/search?q=gothic+game&hl=de&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=veXyUMLDBKba4QSVy4Fg&ved=0CDkQsAQ&biw=1161&bih=1102

What was the problem? Well:
a) you could not change the key bindings. And sorry, I can not play with W, A, S, D. I have to admit I only can with Q, W, E, S.
b) there was no in game help page to even show the key bindings.

I had to call my friend every few days to ask: how do I loot a corpse? (Something like shift-arrow-up ... or down )

The game is superb and got very good critics ... they made several sequels.

However they never realized that the limited money/sales they make is due to brain dead keybindings (that could not be changed).

I did not play the game for the same reason I don't use EMACS (but well, I guess EMACS key bindings *CAN* be changed)

If they assert ownership of the code, and decline to release it under an open source licence then they can pretty much kill the fork as well.

a) Fortunately not because VMWare and Red Hat have already made a posting otherwise.

b) Fortunately not because this is a public project and has been explicitly and openly discussed by a number of people from VMWare over a long time. In general, companies are liable for the things their employees do as part of their work. Especially if they knew about it or should have known about it. The only comeback they have is disciplinary action against the employee. Judges sometimes come down really hard on companies which try to wriggle out of this kind of thing.

c) Just think about it. If what you said was true, wouldn't Barings bank just have said "no; sorry, rogue trader; give us back our stolen dollars". Don't think the tech industry will manage tricks the financial industry has never thought of.

Google is attempting to do something like that now with magazines. If successful (in the sense that it encourages more people to subscribe), I'd imagine books would be next.

A lot of people (like me) would say you are wrong about the Nexus 7. Once we got 4.2.1, they got slow and laggy again. Supposedly there is a fix in the works. But there are lots of threads on it - so it is not just an anecdote. Here's a link to one of the bug reports with a little over 100 people saying they have it too: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39737. So something is causing that. I've actually been dismayed by how slow my 32 GB Nexus 7 got after the latest updates. I still like the device a lot, but it can be frustrating sometimes waiting for the screen to draw or waiting to turn a page when reading a book on it.

Google went and released an OS that is somehow radically more demanding on /dev/random than most linux variants and didn't even notice? That would be a bit of a surprise.

It would indeed, especially because it didn't happen. Brought to you by... the article: "only wpa_supplicant opens /dev/random, and it doesn't continuously do that."

>> "didn't actually speed Android up."

If you actually read the bug mentioned in the summary - most devs are arguing that explanations about why the fixes work don't make sense in terms of Dalvik (java) that the android bug was filed against - not that it doesn't improve latency or that it doesn't work or there isn't a lower level issue. One developer https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265#c162 (sorry I don't know enough about android to know if he is part of the core team or not) - is doing testing to measure results of a patch from the mainline linux kernel https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1745611/ plus some re-arranging of the android code to see if he has found a lower level solution.

No.

Then, to top it off, the team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online...

Google docs .... but there's a question whether sticking full featured applications into a web browser

No one is asking that question is any consequential way. They're just doing it.

Goggle has gone way beyond web based office applications. Amazon's best selling laptop is a Chromebook. They've taken over the entire desktop with a browser.

The whole desktop. Unqualified. Everything runs in the browser. You configure hardware components In. The. Browser.

Javascript, executed by very efficient compilers like V8, is sufficient for limited interactivity up to things like powerful email clients and social networking applications. Combined with HTML5 you get media players that equal the native applications of traditional systems.

If you need more than what you can get from Javascript+HTML5 you have Native Client. Now your running optimized machine code in a sandbox. Feel free to make essentially anything right up to a first person shooter, because you can get at the GPU.

I suppose you might say Java pioneered this model. The mind-share has moved on to better platforms, however, and given Sun cum Oracle's chronic neglect it won't return.

Individuality is great, and you should have things that are meaningful close at hand and on display, but just recognize that to most people geek art has about as much class as dogs playing poker. If you have non-geeky visitors and want to be taken seriously, maybe find something you like that is more mainstream for the living room. Same for your cube at work. Something geeky on your monitor and on your desk, something more mainstream on the walls.

And the have serveral European offices including some in the EU.

There are not only offices for business puposes in Europe, but also a lot of hardware. So they can either close shop in Europe and let their servers do everything from outside Europe, or they can comply to the law.

What will happen is that they will comply with the law after they (tried to) edit it to their advantage.

As a counterpoint to that claim, note that that Asian Americans (Asian is about as fine tuned as I can find) have a life expectancy of 87.8, while someone in japan (no good breakdown by ethnicity) has a life expectancy of about 83. These sorts of studies are extremely subject to confounding variables that will be ignored to let them make a claim they want. Did they separate out all those confounds in your quoted line at the same time? They used the word OR, so I suspect they didn't. I'd also like to see the life expectancy comparison for non-hispanic whites at age 40. By that time, the violence is much less of a factor. The article claimed it persists through all age groups, and also occured even when limited to whites, but those could be true even if there is no difference when corrected for age and ethnicity at the same time.

I do appreciate that they noted that most of the causes had nothing to do with the medical system per se. However, they apparently chose to blame the availability of guns for gun deaths rather than admitting cultural issues.

You joke but...
