The fact that a lof of pages returned by Google that are not returned by Yahoo are lists of words gives a hint of another problem with the methodology: Google probably indexes more of each page (let's say the first 100K) than Yahoo. Let's do an experiment...
Testing further, so far I've found dictionary files in G's results in all of the edge cases in which neither engine returns significant results, and a couple of times in Y's results.
At this point, I think the conclusion that you'll get more results on Google arguably stands, the methodology of the test and the idea that anything can be concluded about the relative index sizes are clearly discredited.
Looking at the first item in their result log, I'm unimpressed. Yahoo returns 0 results, and Google returns... 4 different links to the ispell dictionary (or variants thereof). ('carbolization clambers')
new draconian legislation to pass in congress next week
The U.S. Congress is out of town until September.
If you haven't heard about that (Does "recess appointment" ring a bell?), you really need
to consider getting your news from somewhere
besides/.
Further, use the opportunity to swap in a fresh tape, if it's a four hour event.
(There can't really be such long events without windows where you can change tapes can there?
People have to pee!)
"Let him without sin cast the first stone" is a good tenet to live by, whether you believe in the godhood of the guy who said it or not
IANA Biblical scholar, but I don't think they
know who said that piece. The whole woman-taken-in-adultery episode is missing from early manuscripts, and many consider it inauthentic.
I'm sure that the majority of doctors are altruistic enough to stay in a state where their profits are controlled by the government rather than move to a state where more patients means more money.
What makes you think it would be worse for doctors to be controlled by the state? Aren't their profits already controlled by HMOs and insurance companies?
Streaming shows over the internet when you could get them over the airwaves seems like a real waste of the shared and non-infinite resource of internet bandwidth.
If a show's not on the air locally, that's one thing, but if it is, I feel very dissipated using the 'net.
Getting a job right out of school, experience or no, is going to be very hard in this job market where there are more senior people looking. I doubt a business degree would serve you much better, though.
I'd rework the resume and keep trying; consider relocating if you can. I've been hearing of a lot of people who have jobs moving to better ones lately here in L.A., so the market has to be looking up.
in case you aren't sick of hearing it: network, network, network.
almost all my jobs have come from friends or fellow alumni of my college. (from which i didn't even graduate) It's particularly key for people who have trouble getting past the HR weeding process.
Surely it's Real's responsibility (to their customers) to maintain compatibility. Naturally Real would like it if Apple didn't *deliberately* break compatibility; I doubt they're so sanguine as to *expect* Apple won't.
Of course, if Apple licensed (which I don't blame them for not doing), all they'd have to do is cash the checks and keep the interface stable or publish the updates or whatever.
I'd like to believe linux users are more influential relative to the size of the install base than Mac users. Probably just wishful thinking though. We also are more hungry for real solutions though - I'd think if a company could be first-to-market with a linux app it might be a bigger benefit than entering a Mac market against stiff competition.
Then again, I'm probably wrong. Maybe he's just slanting his answers for the audience here.
I went on a lame bungee-dive type thing at Magic Mountain, and was amazed - just being at that height (150 ft?) scared me SO MUCH. Had no idea I could be that scared. The falling and swooping around and stuff was totally tame and anticlimactic.
So I've always wanted to do it again just to tweak that amazingly intense fear. That's not what people skydive for? What's the point then? (But I don't get to Magic Mountain that often - and I'm scared.)
we need more people in CS period, and they're thinking they'll get better marginal gains from recruitment efforts in the relatively untapped female population than from continuing to scrape the bottom of the barrel among white males.
(no word on minorities? - i'd say they're way more untapped than women.)
I doubt we need to pull in would-be teachers. Of people who have the temperament and aptitude to be engineers, we want to get more of them. We suspect that we're getting a pretty low percentage of suitable women into the field.
(Could be wrong - could just be that the percentage of women suitable to be engineers is much lower than of men - but I don't think we know the answer to that, and I think it's reasonable to guess there are untapped suitable women out there.)
Given this assumption, it's reasonable to look at whether women are considering the field and whether they're getting turned off by cultural cues or working conditions or career path issues or what.
Basically, coaxing of unsuitable candidates is not called for. There's been enough of that among men.
Hmm. I think that I help Apple instead of hurting them by using Playfair. There's no way that I will buy an iPod or iTunes if I can only use them together. I use Linux a lot, and I have a non-iPod MP3 player that I'm very fond of. With Playfair, I am likely to buy songs from iTunes, so Apple gets more money from me.
As my shitty ethics don't stretch to sharing the music freely, I won't violate any other terms of the license. I help them and remain well within the spirit (if not the letter) of the agreement. I think that means my ethics aren't so shitty, in fact. I don't see a problem.
Now, the people who create and distribute Playfair, knowing full well that it may be used in other less ethical situations - they don't have my excuse; they may be actually harming Apple.
Linux would be good, but I really want my tunes on my Rio Karma, so people like me would still need PlayFair. Arguably it's fair for Apple to try to restrict portable use to their players, but it doesn't seem unfair or illegal for me to circumvent that if I can.
There's an upside for Apple, too. I may buy iTunes now; I would not have before. Aren't they making the money on the music instead of the players anyway?
Right. I have ADHD. (Come on, how many people here don't?) A lot of the problems of ADHD can be explained as a problem in working memory. Nonetheless we have many very folks with ADHD. Still, I wish my working memory were better.
I think it's more interesting that they've localized working memory than that lack of WM leads to problems.

An AC above had really good advice on this question.

Interesting idea, and a good test of it!

It's not prevalent in America either, at least not in circles I've ever moved in.

Also not prevalent in these circles:
- the lack of IT jobs (for

- 'nerd' or 'geek' as derogatory terms.

Both do. (for MSN, it's the "cached" link.)

I thought that was part of the appeal?
