That's exactly my point. You think you're the smartest guy because you're stealing your neighbor's BW? You can be as smart as you want, but if you pick my lock, and try to get into my place when I'm in, in my defense I can shoot your head with my gun.
Then again, I check my network and see something abusive. I don't care if a person uses my network (I used to leave it open - as a grad student you realize that some people just don't have the money to pay for a freaking network connection). What I don't like is abusive people that get into my network even though I'm using security. Let's face it, your regular lock on an average US neighborhood can be open even with a credit card, no reason to break into the houses. You expect that little security will keep your neighbors informed that you DON'T want them to use it.
Then again, if I manage to break my neighbor's WPA then I'm good and I can start downloading whatever it pleases me on his behalf?
I recently moved to a new apartment, my connection wasn't that great and I was having problems with my router. I used WEP to make it "light" to the router to deal with security and due to some backward compatibility I needed for some devices at home.
When I thought my router was having problems, I bought a new one, only to realize through logs that my lovely neighbor broke into my network and was torrenting and stressing my router, my connection and most likely downloading illegal stuff.
Now, my router is secure, yet there's an asshat hacking my network and making me look bad (in the case that I was detected to be downloading by **IA and friends).
Luckily, I tracked this down and secure further the network, but without proper tools, what can a normal user do against these smart asses?
That assumes that the weight of carrying all that junk mail does not have an impact on fuel consumption of the car.
I think that they could get even grab more money from painting the delivery cars with advertisement. They are rolling around and you always see them, why not put a couple of advertisement boxes and charge for them?
That solid foundation is great for personal growth, but not all that useful in business
I'd assume you're talking about the kind of business running certain countries. Those managed by crooks with secret agendas, breaching people's privacy and dumping dangerous materials to the environment. The kind of deceptive business that want to profit more than caring for their own health of their workers or the messed up world their kids will receive, because fast money is their priority.
Now, there's a way of rewarding this "FAST" money American kids keep looking for instead of helping them going through school. If you ask me, the problem with this strategy is that it will motivate even more Americans to drop school, when low attendance to higher education is already a well know problem.
Sounds to me, that they will contribute to bring down even more the US. I think education about learning the balance between a large amount of variables before you go out to the real world, but the system is broken anyways. So who cares? Give me my $$$ now!
I was thinking about that, but also have a box at the bottom with relevant products. Let's say that you are looking for specialized tools then show where you can get them. If you have very in depth articles, then yeah.. books. I wonder how would that work for diseases (I hate drug related advertisements), but plants may also link to seeds or gardening, etc.
If something, Google would envy such an opportunity, because each article is already contextualized: it's what people is looking for. So there is an advantage placing ads on those pages.
Like, let's say for example, Google TV? The problem with broadcasters, is that they don't realize what Google does, they are making money from advertisers in their air broadcast, but they refuse to make money from advertisers on the Internet. I'm thinking this is more of a Cable company push, that doesn't allow TV channels of getting rid of the "middle man" (cable companies) in the business.
Yet, I'm wondering what would be of the people asking these questions if Yahoo weren't there. I just hope they get their answers, because that's the average person the world is heading towards. And for sure, sometimes ignorance is not bliss.
Just yesterday, we saw Hans Rosling with an awesome plot of life span and income. It's clear that the cubicle space is inversely proportional to life span! The longer you live, the smaller the space, until you die and you only have a coffin (or something to hold your ashes). I'm yet to find the correlation with average income, but for sure a cool looking plot can explain us, that in 5 years we all will be working from coffins!:)
Shut up! I was about to get a brand new hybrid traded for this line of code I made. Now you blew my deal! Now I will have to add a GUI to the code to make it look like at least it's pretty!
In all seriousness, where do you draw the line between software and hardware? Some instructions can be embedded into hardware (such as done in FPGA or video/audio coders/decoders, image/signal processing mechanisms). Algorithms are normally one main subject of research that can be simply expressed as software and can be also very time consuming. The issue here is how and where the line between hardware and software is drawn. Because error correction techniques can be quite expensive to implement in power efficient hardware while sixteen 50x50 pixel icon layout on a screen doesn't seem to require that much creativity and effort.
I will go with the simpler explanation: While many other companies have struggled to come up with clever and attractive names for their products, Google only adds a simple word to their company name and voila, new product: Google "Talk", Google "Reader", Google "Voice", Google "Mail", Google "Shopping", Google "TV".
If people look for simple terms, no matter the search algorithm, their results are highly likely to come up on top. I don't know many people that would use the word "messenger" natively for a chat client, unless they are actually looking for a product called "messenger", nor "skype", nor "pidgin".
But on top of that, if you use Yahoo or Microsoft Live services, well, you don't go to Google to search for them, and therefore, those services will not be on top. (This happens if part of the algorithm, as suggested, uses the number of clicks on links. Aside of the fact that Firefox's URL Bar uses Google as a search engine and picks automatically the top-most result, when your ISP is not hijacking DNS requests).
The obvious next logical step would be to put physicians in charge of the body scanners. If I'm going to get a prostate exam every time I get into a plane, train or bus, at least I want to know that it's going to be someone actually qualified. And that they can ensure I'm going to remain healthy. What about they add AIDS testing, cancer testing for general audience, and perhaps mammograms and echographies for women.
And people actually complains about paying for health care!
Well, there are limited options on a chess game. You just have 64 positions and 32 pieces, there's a limited number of plays. That makes easy for a computer to beat humans. The game is nearly deterministic, no randomness as in poker.
Creativity is what makes the difference. If you watched the video, I think the most interesting part was when he moved a pawn halfway, that's when the robot got somewhat stuck and almost went for his hand. Chess is a basic imitation of war games, but in real life, there's not only 64 positions and 32 pieces, and that's where creativity plays the role. This guy may have played all his life and be very good at it, but I don't think that's the only thing he does well.
I get your criticism towards the government. However, if you have enough money to build your own country, why would you try to compete with other companies to buy representatives? Particularly, when you know some of those companies are just trying to screw yours.
In an unrelated note, the other night I logged in to WOPR.gov and started playing this GTW game! I made my first move, and I'm waiting for my opponent.
Several countries in South America follow these rules, from Colombia to Uruguay. The wiki page in English and the google translation from the one in Spanish perhaps provide you with more useful literature about it.
I could check to see if there are references in the constitutions of different countries, but this mechanism is well known in those countries.

You seem to forget that Intel also produces Solid State drives.
They just want more freedom to screw you over
Ah! So that's the so called freedom they keep trying to defend with body scanners, and all that stuff.

The only bad thing I remember from the 80s greatest movies is replacing Roger Moore with Timothy Dalton.

That just reminded me of the Timecrowave from SNL.
So, it's not just a loop, it's a "clever" loop.

I'll second you on this one. If they ask too much BS, they'll get someone that talks to much too.
I don't know why HR and managers don't appreciate honesty, but rather go with someone that managed to convinced them about their own fairy tales.

Isn't NVidia already releasing CPU/GPU hybrids with ARM processors on their Tegra line?
