I don't know what an appropriate journal/conference for this would be, but your best bet is to hunt down some well-regarded papers in a similar area and see where they're published. Google Scholar's a good place to look for research articles. Once you've found somewhere to submit to, I wouldn't worry about being taken seriously - mostly these things are blind reviewed, so they don't know if you're working from your garage or an MIT lab.
10 years ago when I was using chat rooms a lot I recall there being a disproportionate number of Dutch users about.They all had DSL connections too, at a time when ISDN was still considered a bit posh in the UK.
Still, big LOLs for whoever tagged that as funny.
Amen. I'm sick of the media fawning over Twitter. If I wanted to know what AnonymousPunter1983 thought, I'd go down the pub and ask my friends. Give me proper news and analysis, not regurgitated social network content.
...to my intelligence. Blanking out cusses is pointless, because we decode them on the fly. Who looks at f*** and doesn't read fuck?
Either don't swear at all or do it fucking properly.
I'm not sure about that, I've supervised first year Java practicals and I seemed to have more problems with those who, for example, just didn't get what control structures were for. This is in the first few weeks obviously - after that the computing A-level is pretty irrelevant. That was my experience as a CS student myself as well - it was a nice boost for a few weeks, but after that we'd covered the A-level syllabus in its entirety. The real benefit for me was finding out what computer science as a subject entailed and having something to inspire a formative interest in programming.
For those outside the UK, that's the two optional years for 16-18 year olds at the end of secondary school. They're not churning out qualified programmers, they're churning out people who have a basic idea of what programming is and might want to pursue it at university. When I did the AQA Computing A-Level we were taught QBASIC and VBA. It didn't stunt my career too much.
Lots of likenesses being thrown around here and elsewhere, but nobody seems to be mentioning Sliders, what with the limited time on each world before the get whisked off automatically, opening up countless opportunities for team members to get stuck in stupid places and risk being left behind... remember Sliders? No?
Saw a talk on this last year from some guys at Southampton who'd already done it: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2006.09.016
Zauner is on a Microsoft Research fellowship though, so no doubt Slashdotters won't like it;)
You also won't be able to do an upgrade install at present. Could be a fairly big deal for a lot of people who aren't confident enough to restore all their files and applications.
I don't think they're going to win any extra sales directly. The type of people who install Release Candidates are the type of people who will always have the latest operating system anyway. More likely they're just sweetening the deal to increase the number of bloggers out there building up hype.
http://research.microsoft.com/ has reported service unavailable all day. Did we take them down despite not even linking them?
Thanks guys, I needed that site today!
Beta had something wrong with it, beta testers spotted it, company fixed it prior to release. How is this news?
Next headline: release candidate close to final version!
Point taken. But since the Oxford English Dictionary defines 'steal' as "v.(1) d. In wider sense: To take or appropriate dishonestly (anything belonging to another, whether material or immaterial)", this is all irrelevant, because you can steal information after all.

Can't be the sun - we have this problem in England.
The summary specifically states that it can get reception where a normal phone or dongle wouldn't. (Whether it's true or not is another matter.)

I agree with you, but it sure is funny to see how quickly the Slashdot community embraces patents when the "imaginary property" belongs to one of us.
...except not "everywhere", just major sites.

Didn't Internet Explorer 3 have skinable toolbars in 1996? Transparency please.

How will we find out about it without Twitter's trending topics? How did we used to find out about these things?
Just read the normal books, but when it says "watching sport", read "playing Warcraft".

If its out there, the atheist community isn't going to be happy.
Cheapskate. Anyone who's anyone gets their batteries by funding research projects, not visiting Radio Shack.
Can you imagine sitting next to someone using this feature on a train?

No, a year later it's still worth 100 but everything costs more. Or you could put it in the bank and it'll be worth 105.
