Exactly, and it's more useful data too. The urls of watched videos really says nothing about a user's interests. With keywords you would have the analysis done up front.
Of course, these videos aren't uploaded with all that meta-data intact. They get tagged more and more over time, and the relationships between videos also grows and matures over time.
The real problem is that Joe Sixpack is technologically ignorant, even willfully so. You don't have to be an IT expert to realize that you've receieved more text refreshing this page than you'll go through in a year of txt messaging and then to see the huge difference in pricing that exists between the two technologies. But this is the land where programming the clock on your VCR is some herculean task only a master of electronics can tackle. I'm hoping something open like the Android platform will blow people's minds, but also sad this isn't something more evident to the average person.
With nVidia's recent moves to allow you to use your old vid cards as a PhysX card, it would be interesting if graphics processing did in fact transfer back over to the multi-cored CPUs while video cards themselves became relegated to doing advanced physics simulations.
.com was originally supposed to mean strictly commercial sites was it not? Moving away from that original intent, it's become ingrained in most casual user's minds that this is the obligatory suffix of a typical web address..net and.org are only sightly as recognizable as additional suffixes. I think it would be difficult to get people comfortable with the idea that the TLD can be any word you want. If anything.com will just be seen as the most legitimate address and anything else will be automatically suspect.
Disney already has registered TLDs for the localized versions of it's site for other regions and any further categorical distinctions for content can be accomplished with subdomains. There's not really any need for Disney or any other large corps to make use of unique TLDs. While this doesn't stop spammers from setting up their own dubious TLDs and trying to lure people there, after a few publicized incidents of scams I think it would become fairly common knowledge that people should stick to trusting.com or the localized regional version thereof.
That's funny. I was listening to some comedy albums just yesterday, among them eerily Carlin (had been a while for me, and I had no idea he died) as well as Lewis Black. Black has a similar bit where he says he's from Washington, because his actual hometown of Silver Spring, Maryland makes him sound like a "pussy."
I haven't seen Carlin's latest HBO special yet, but I definitely will be checking it out. He has seemed much more bitter lately, but who wouldn't be. His material wasn't so much comedy as it was an uncomprimising look at the sad fucking state of things. Grumpy as he was, he was always worth watching.
Glad/. picked up the story too, was wondering if they would.
Some people might think the internet and e-commerce will figure more and more into the future of a nation's economic fitness in an increasingly globally connected and digital world. Those people might want to know how we're doing in terms of the basic network infrastucture with which we'll be competing in said world. Might be a little more important than wiping your nose.
the bacteria suddenly acquired the ability to metabolise citrate, a second nutrient in their culture medium that E. coli normally cannot use. While I do agree that creationists will be perplexed and confounded, it will be due to the likely abysmal Biology and Chemistry programs in Alabama's educational system and not the actual implications of the study. I'm sorry but those results probably require too much extra explanation to really convince the type of person who think's evolution is just too hard to swaller. Call me when the bacteria grow lips and start whistlin' Dixie.
"This literally threatens our children, and there can be no higher priority than keeping our children safe." First I thought he had just misused "literally" as so many do. Then I realized he meant it like "No I mean really, it threatens children literally and not in that bullshit meaningless 'think of the children' way we use so much in politics that it has become meaningless and basically figurative."
Maybe this is just step one. Step two being, "They're too clever, our only choice is to shut all of USENET down." After all, it's just the seedy "back-alley" of the internet according to TFA.
One considerable tool that has been assembled as part of the investigation is a library of more than 11,000 pornographic images. Because the same images are often distributed around the Web or from newsgroup to newsgroup, once investigators catalog an image, they can use a digital identifier called a âoehash valueâ to scan for it anywhere else â" using it as a homing beacon of sorts to find other pornographic sites. There's a weird irony to fighting kiddie porn by hoarding a large database of it. What's to stop the poster from tagging the image with a random watermark every time so the image fails to match?
I don't get the fight to stop child porn distribution. Doesn't that just make it harder to find the people who engage in this stuff? I guess the implied logic is that this stuff influences people to commit similar acts. Have we really accepted this argument? Violent movies and video games next? This is all so messy. Really don't like seeing USENET get this press either...
So what they're really saying is that they can profitably manufacture, distribute, and sell DVD movies for the low price of $5, even after paying some company to add their technology to the disc which not only doesn't enhance the consumer experience, but seriously degrades it. So why do they charge $20 for the other discs again?
because your character probably won't get to be on TV But your clan might. As for playing rather than watching, I'm sure if it was done well enough you'd love to sit down for a 30-60 minute program every week lionizing your otherwise pure time-wasting hours of gameplay. Hell I could see clans getting on teamspeak and watching the show together.
Much like those old television and radio shows that encouraged their listeners to play along with their secret decoder rings, this is really the next evolution of that sort of participation. Hell we have full-grown men and women engaging in activities as ridiculous as cosplay.
If you think people have better things to do, or that the television landscape has something better to offer then you having been paying attention to the near bankruptcy of American culture. Hell I'm surprised there isn't a cosplay reality TV show yet. If this thing's half way decent it could take off.
Or they could become a pivotal part of the show. I've always thought the GNAA would make a good supervillain. Might need a small namechange to make it through standards and practices.
I have a Verizon phone. I'm not really sure what model, VCast or something. It only has like 32 megs of storage. It has a camera on it I don't use and didn't ask for. If I did use it to play music I'd have to convert my mp3 collection as it only plays wma files (and they really push you to use Windows Media Player with it, gah). It has crippled bluetooth, crippled for no positive reason.
I got this phone for free, or so I was told. I share a plan with my sister and she gave me the upgraded phone for which we were eligible. If you're going to tell me this phone is worth "several hundred dollars" then I feel really ripped off. There's no way. It's a gimped piece of shit for that kind of money. The only reason the phone has all these extra features--a camera, music playback, video playback(cringe)--is so they can find new ways to charge me for those uses. And if that's the case, as far as I'm concerned it should have been free, as in really free.

So the headline should have read:
"MS Security Patch perfects ZoneAlarm firewall"
The 1000 cores might be just what you need.

Whooooooooosh!
Though the idea was to try to force all x-rated material to be on a .xxx wasn't it? Which would have been impractical for myriad reasons.
With nVidia's recent moves to allow you to use your old vid cards as a PhysX card, it would be interesting if graphics processing did in fact transfer back over to the multi-cored CPUs while video cards themselves became relegated to doing advanced physics simulations.
Some would disagree.
Whoooooosh!
This is my second whoooosh post today. You're welcome!

That's not true. I've done this many times at Disney World. The Contemporary I think it was called. No one seemed too alarmed.
