Wow, you fail at comprehending sarcasm as well as life.
You are the one who’s a hypocrite. You clearly indicate that you do not consider me a “friend”, in fact you constantly attack, insult and mock me, yet you seem reluctant to take the obvious step of declaring me a “Foe” in Slashdot’s user system.
'Sometimes these sites look better than the legitimate sites,' Huntsberry said. 'That's the irony.'
He’s so close to an epiphany that it’s almost painful.
Everything about them is better. Except, perhaps, the quality of the picture, but personally I won’t tolerate a really terrible picture anyway. I’ll just wait.
The lack of DRM is better. The lack of involuntary filler content (previews and menus and such) is better. The convenience of being able to fairly quickly get any full-length feature film and watch it in the privacy of your home is better. The price, of course, can’t be beat. And apparently in some cases the websites even look better than their legal counterparts. Admittedly, being illegal is worse, but only if you get caught.
To beat piracy, they’re going to have to make the legal offering better. That’s all there is to it. Apple was very successful with iTunes (well, once they got beyond the notion that 1 song from an 8-song album should cost 1/8 as much as the album). It appears that a lot of people think iTunes is better than illegally downloading.
generalizing PEOPLE from ANY SAMPLE SIZE is idiotic
So you explicitly claim to be an idiot. Well, we agree on one thing at least.
hypocrisy like your use of "retroactive abortion", a contradiction in terms, because you are too big of a coward to suggest you'd appreciate if i were to be murdered
Abortion is murder, so I’m not sure what is causing your confusion.
the pakistani lawyer charging the LAW with RESPONSIBILITY
Ha! Where’d that come from? No Pakistani lawyer is trying to change the law. On the contrary... trying to enforce the stupid shitty law (which NEEDS to be changed) on the rest of the world, instead of changing it. And you’re applauding him. You’re just as much an idiot as he is.
you are an ignorant hypocrite.
I think you’ve conclusively and unequivocally proven that you are the one who’s an idiot, and no amount of screaming from an idiot that I’m an idiot will either somehow make me one or even bother me in the least. It’s to be expected, coming from an idiot.
I’d ridicule them more for trying to uphold their own laws, when the laws in question are stupid to begin with and to top it all off they apparently think they can enforce their retarded laws on the entire rest of the civilised world.
Apparently you can now select a background image. And by “can”, apparently I mean “must”... he suggests creating a “black or very dark monochrome image on your computer” and uploading it to the phone so that you can have “no” background image. An ugly hack but it does work I guess.
What else should anybody be threatened by except facts... they should be threatened by what, fictions? That would be silly. You are silly. A silly clown. Keep dancing, clown. Your dancing pleases me.
Snarkyness aside, it explicitly says that it’s converting the text from images into a searchable document... if someone can’t tell from that context that OCR means converting the text from images into a document, they probably have about the IQ of a cinder-block and wouldn’t “get it” from the Google results either.
Hell, if we are really lowering ourselves to that lowest denominator of intelligence, the person would probably still be confused if we called it Optical Character Recognition. What, like Google has to actually print out the stuff you upload so it can Optically Recognize it...? Oh noes, we’re killing trees. Everybody, don’t use it!
But those are the best kind... it doesn’t even really matter who’s wrong.
Never let a day go by when you can’t say to yourself as you’re falling asleep, “Well, I was wrong on the internet today, but damn, I had fun.” That’s what I say...
ignorant \'ig-n(a’-)ra’nt adj. thinking that the suggestion that “someone” might suicide bomb your house is not in any way threatening. (a’ = schwa, the upside-down e character that Slashdot can’t display because it’s dumb.)
If you uploaded a PDF with typed text, it probably didn't even do OCR on it. It'd be pointless. You have to convert the pages to images for that to be necessary and I'm guessing you didn't.
Open in Acrobat Reader and use the snapshot tool to capture an entire page. Paste into Word as an image, then re-export to PDF. Upload that and then see how the OCR fares. Of course you'll also get an excellent quality in the snapshot since it's a pure digital copy and it won't have the blemishes that you'd get by printing a physical page and scanning that, so the results might be better.
OCD much? Everybody knew what OCR means. If it was some obscure acronym then yeah, spell it out first, but OCR is pretty widely known. The few people who didn't already know what it meant could probably figure it out from context, and failing that there's always Google.
They really should hide the text underneath the actual scanned image, though, so that what you're actually looking at is the real page, but searchable. That takes care of the issue with layout, and since you aren't actually trying to read the garbled text, although 10% is still a rather high error rate it won't matter as much because you'll only notice it if you're trying to copy-and-paste or you might search for something and miss a few of the hits because it was incorrectly OCR'd. Not a huge deal.
All he’d have to do is filter the IP addresses to only identify one(s) that requested/received all of the data. Which is probably just one IP. Which is yours.
Certainly not. In fact they amused me greatly. You have constantly been guilty of the very ignorance and hypocrisy that you have been going around accusing everyone else of, and your repeated theme of “you are NOTHING” applies best to yourself. The irony is so thick I think I’ve exceeded the USDA recommended daily intake for iron.
Oh, I could use the shotgun, but it’s so large and unwieldy. Anyway, I have no reason to go picking fights with people; YOU are the one making threatening remarks and demonstrating for the entire world how ignorant you are.

Guilt by association? That’s classy.

going anonymous now, huh? not quite sure your argument is valid anymore?
Oh wow. Coming from you that’s rich!
what have the pakistanis done? have they killed anyone? have they even ASKED for anyone to be extradited?
What, you can’t read? You didn’t read the article?
yet the facebook users did nothing more than demonstrate their own ability to speak words that others would not have them speak
Yes, which apparently, under Pakistan’s shitty laws, is punishable by death. What a bunch of ass-backward hicks.
Very clever of you, Googling me. Is that what you do to all your friends?
Keep dancing, clown. You can’t touch me.

Copy-and-paste some text from it and see how good the OCR was. You’ll be able to see the mistakes that were previously hidden.
I’m guessing it’s exactly the same engine, but done exactly as I said it should be, correctly.

So... what you're telling me is that while nice round numbers are handy for mathimatics, they aren't practically useful in real-life applications.
Well, that's what we've been trying to tell you all along.
So, we end up having 3 Tsp. per 1 Tbsp. Why? Because it was convenient in real life, not on a page of numbers.
If you have a 3 1/3 ml measuring spoon, you’ve basically defeated your nice power-of-10 system.
Sheesh, I’d tell them to give it up and just let me graduate high school finally.
