  1. Just like the ICFP... on AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "In the far-flung future of the year 2000, functional programming has taken over the world and so humans live in an almost unimaginable luxury. Since it's so easy, humans have used robots to automate everything, even law enforcement and bank robbery -- the only job left to humans is to write their robots' control programs." http://icfpc.plt-scheme.org/

  2. Just hover over the links on Mapping Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, they are in the opaque "Link to this page" link. It looks like this:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.062500%2C-119. 06 7565&spn=3.859375%2C8.565532

    Looks like geographical coordinates to me.

  3. Not BAM on Open Source Message Queuing System · · Score: 1

    Should'a used Vitria's BAM!

  4. Re:More info on Google Trials A9 Style Image Search · · Score: 1

    It's gotta do with your Google cookie.

    I saw this behavior in late december. When I copied my Google cookies to another browser on a different subnet, I got the same results with images popping up.

    So I think that they just "bless" certain cookies.

  5. Can't make a webpage on Alabama IT Whistleblower Fired For Spyware · · Score: 1

    His "webpage" (with it's own domain name, no less) is written in an MS dialect of HTML. That in itself isn't so bad, and I wouldn't have noticed. Except when I pull my scroll bar on a webpage with plain text and my system _LAGS_, I check the source. Good god what does he have there. If you clean it (17.5KB) up, the text is 3.5 times smaller (5KB!). He does IT? He should know this.

  12. $28,000 on The Reverse Challenge: Winners Announced · · Score: 1
    From the results page:

    The cost to contract out this analysis would most likely run at least $350 a hour. At that rate, the average cost for analyzing this binary would have been $28,000.
    This must be good news for the participants, not to mention the winners!
