Yes, I understand, we have to look at Google with skepticism, but I seriously don't get this.
Therefore, critics contend that an advertiser will have an incentive to bypass Yahoo entirely and only bid for Google advertisements since an advertisement purchased with Google could be placed on both Yahoo and Google's search result pages.
Captain Obvious to the rescue! Somebody quickly tell Yahoo, they must have overlooked this possibility when selling their adspace to Google!
Here are the changes.
I really have to check out the multiprocessing package.
Too bad that I have to wait for the print function and the new division handling.
I'm not an expert, but I'd say that depends on what you are doing. At some point your applications won't be able to allocate new memory. So if you do hidef video editing, extra swap *could* be useful.
I have 1GB of RAM and no swap partition, and I don't remember ever having trouble with firefox-surfing, watching video or gaming. That said I don't use KDE or Gnome but a minimalist window manager.
In my experience, excel is also rarely used for anything serious outside of US. Maybe its an indictment of how lazy, slow witted and easily misled our pool of talent is becoming.
I have experienced whole companies running on Excel spreadsheets - they use it for accounting, instead of a database, and, you guessed it, scientific data analysis.
The company I'm talking about is in the power supply industry.
Seems like it does. They even built a password cracker into it. I'd honestly say I'd try it if I had to use windows somewhere. My guess is that it places an icon in the systray or has a nag screen or something.
Wrong. Generating revenue (The income) tells you that people want the phones. Generating profit (Revenue - cost) tells you that he's either underpaying his employees or overcharging his customers, or both.

Have you asked the people who actually work for him or who bought a phone? My bet is that they actually like having work and having a phone. As it is written in TFA.
That's where "profit" comes from. It's not some magical formula that's so hard to understand and explain. You pay $20 to make something, you sell it for $30. You've just made money from nothing. Good job, you win capitalism.
Not everybody has the skill to raise the value of a product from $20 to $30 dollar. He has this skill. He earns the difference. That's how you and I make money and survive after all.
Of course you will say that nobody "needs" 2 Billion, but I doubt he sits at home, bathing in bills and eating caviar. He has a company to run after all.
We absolutely should get into lengthy debates about "the nature and ethics surrounding the modern economic system".
The fact that he makes money out of it tells you that people want the phones, and he is successful in delivering them. And yes, people need medicine, but infrastructure is also extremely important, like, you know, phones, so you can talk to somebody who is somewhere else.
I don't like them and I nearly don't use them anymore. They have taken the place of the floppy disk for me - three out of four CDs I burn have some OS that I can boot from.
When I want to share some files, I put them on a USB-stick or a portable hard drive.
There was a time when I stored backups on CDs, but the hassle of organizing and searching them is just too big.
Don't get me even started on buying software or music;-)
I hope 1TB USB-sticks will come about soon.
As a rule of thumb, the more qualifiers there are before the name of a country, the more corrupt the rulers. A country called The Socialist People's Democratic Republic of X is probably the last place in the world you'd want to live.
The resolution of the histogram is way less than the real resolution, something like 32-128 bins per color channel, so these kinds of image manipulations don't fall into weight because the information is averaged out.
The information contained in the histogram is still enough to make a meaningful comparison though.
What does reshape the histogram badly are things like cropping, as another poster said.
I found comparing histograms to be very efficient. I am currently working on a project that matches similar images by a simple algorithm:
split the three color channels
create normalized histogram for each channel and concatenate them into one array
for each other image histogram, calculate the inner product of the difference of the histograms. If its smaller than a given epsilon, mark the images as "similar".
This simple algorithm can be done with ~50 lines of python code using the Image and numpy modules. It's immune to rotation, scaling, and slight color manipulation or other small changes.
Makes me wonder why they use pixel-by-pixel comparison.
I disagree - there is some degree of bullshit in every country, but the UK is definitely the top of the pile. Try to find equally concerning news about Switzerland or Norway.

Everybody makes mistakes!
Heck, yesterday a book fell on my keyboard - the next thing I know: every Metallica Album right in my incoming folder!

Or this one?

I mean, they have to do *something* with the bandwidth

the RON PAUL people seemed to know what they were doing ;-)
If there isn't a skill involved, how come that you aren't a billionaire already?

They have another demo on their Front Page
And while it's extremely impressive, sadly it's definitely in the valley for me.

So they are pro linux then. That's a good thing.

Did you by any chance mean Tom Cruises daughter?
You can watch the movie. As a PKD fan I can assure you that it's one of the better adaptations.
damn, it's www.doxpara.com, and it resolves to 157.22.245.20. But I can't directly access it with that IP address.
