Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0?
blakeross asks: "I will be doing research this summer at Stanford with Professor Andrew Ng about how we can incorporate machine learning into Firefox. As we work to finish up Firefox 1.0, we're also seeking ideas that will make Firefox 2.0 blow every other browser out of the water. People who come up with the best 3-5 ideas that involve the use of machine learning will win Gmail accounts, and if we implement your idea you'll be acknowledged in both our paper and in Firefox credits. Your idea will also be appreciated by the millions of people who use Firefox. We'll also entertain Thunderbird proposals. See my weblog post for more details; I'll read all comments posted in response to this story or to my weblog."
You'll win a Gmail account? Heck. I'll give one away right now! Have fun fighting over it...

The thing is, this was a really old news post. I'm amazed this got posted. It was on MozillaZine quite a while ago, when Gmail accounts were worth a lot.
Oh, maybe signing up for that wasn't the best idea. Now there's a link on slashdot to a page with my shiny new gmail address. :-)
This is Slashdot. In less than 48 hours, it will be forgotten.
Let's incorporate Bayesian filtering into MySQL. The first person to give me the best 5 ideas for using Bayesian filtering in MySQL will get 2 Gmail accounts.
Software piracy is victimless theft.
>I suggest better prizes. Y'know, like a girlfriend
Sure, I'll donate mine, the chick is a skanky bitch.
i have 6 invites. first six to email me win. others will be placed in a queue.
first come first serve. invites come in pretty regularly, so MAIL ME (comments will be ignored) and i'll do what i can to get you an invite in the order you contact me.
I can't get a girl. I have the personality of a rock you insensitive clod!

maybe she's a skanky bitch 'cuz your in front of /. too much... look at her more than at this webpage and she might turn into a really nice person.
I know it's true for my gf...
---- I am certain of only one thing : I know nothing else.
I would gladly trade my girlfriend for a Gmail account.
That is, if I had one.
What would you do with two Gmail accounts?
At least your girlfriend is safe until the first one comes along!

I was joking. Besides, this one post on slashdot that you read provides no evidence that I use slashdot more than you do.
But ... that's what I thought the "G" in Gmail stood for.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
that's true... I was just kidding too, no worries
---- I am certain of only one thing : I know nothing else.
I, on the other hand, would trade my GMail account for a girlfriend.
I've logged on to it, gone "ooh, innit pretty" then never accessed it again. I already have 6 email accounts that receive nothing but spam - why the hell would I want another one?
I had a girlfriend. She dumped me though, but she still gave me a gmail invite. So I had one, lost it, but got the other. By your standards I'm one up, but I think I'll disagree.
If you can get 5 girlfriends, I'll gladly trade you 5 GMail accounts for them =)
That's why you don't have one...

> I would gladly trade my girlfriend for a Gmail account.
Perhaps you should re-evaluate your priorities.
> That is, if I had one.
See above.
What? I think you misunderstood something here.
"I'd gladly trade my delicious doorstop for your crummy old doughnut. That is, if I had one."
Not having a girlfriend was clearly not a complaint.
(Seriously, will a girlfriend search though 1GB of email at your whim? I think not. Maybe you should reevaluate your priorities!)
Well he used to have one, but I traded him a World of Warcraft beta account for her.
And let me tell you, she knows how to please a man.
I guess you don't know what a joke is either?
To summarize:
.... "Yeah, you're a geek."
"I'm a geek.",
i can get one for the gmail acount, probably :) send me invite and i will share her if it works :)
SHE does throw dice.
Yeah, but any girlfriend worth her salt will require a Gmail account.
i dont get the joke! i can just read chauvinistic blablabla. grow up or ya all never find someone to love!
