Once you get used to mouse gestures, you wonder why anyone would ever waste so much mouse mileage going up to the Back button all the time.
i'd say something about using vimperator (in a tiling window manager), and wondering why anybody wastes so much time going to the mouse all the time, but I'm just not that smug.
I've always felt this about the chain shot in zelda games. A big part of the appeal of zelda games, for me at least, is feeling like you really are exploring another world, then all of a sudden you get this device (which nobody else seems to have) which can only hook onto a relatively small number of things which just so happen to exist at exactly the places they are needed.
When you have lots of data, you don't have to build any "expert" knowledge into a learner.
This isn't really quite so clear cut. Feature engineering, model structure, model training techniques, and so on all bias statistical learners towards different parts of the hypothesis space. Hidden markov models (the standard in speech recognition) clearly constitute a data-driven approach, but usually they predict diphones (which appreciates the transitions between speech sounds) rather than phones themselves. That is, "cat" is recognized not by predicting a [k] followed by an [ae] followed by a [t], but (among other things) by a [k-ae] transition followed by a [ae-t] transition. This is a very direct way of encoding expert linguistic knowledge that speech sounds are pronounced differently in the context of other sounds. Think about where your tongue touches the top of your mouth in "keen" compared to "can."
Honestly? First, the people are giving their DNA. It is a gift to science and society at large. There's a difference between a gift and a purchase. Second, regardless of what the US Supreme Court might say, corporations are not people. There's just no comparison between a person giving to researchers and a company selling goods and services to consumers.

Sorry to continue the off-topic thread. I just get irritated when grammar nazis (who don't actually know anything about language) give legitimate linguists a bad name.
First, I will suggest that you don't actually know much about language.
In English (and most languages with origins in Latin)
English is Germanic, not Latinate. The large number of English words with Latinate etymology comes from the Norman invasion (French really is latinate) and the centuries-long role of Latin as the academic lingua-franca.
when we want to talk about something that didn't happen, or isn't true, we use the subjunctive case
If you are okay with the combining of the subjective and subjunctive case
Again, subjunctive is a mood, so I'm not sure what you mean. Subjunctive clauses can still have subjects ("that" in the sentence in question) in English. And now for my main point:
However, in modern society, the use of this important standard has all but vanished
If it were so important, would it have all but vanished*? When a grammatical form drops out of a language, usually it is because the communicative work of that form has been "taken over" by other forms and conventions.
Finally, pushing people to follow dead rules (especially when you yourself don't understand the grammatical principles behind the rules) doesn't work, as often people end up learning the "wrong" form. For example, I often see people in written comments using "whom" not as the object case variant of "who" (which it has been historically) but a sentential complementizer for dependent clauses whose subjects are people. Presumably, these people were told to use "whom," and latched onto the most prominent regularity still in the language they could for deciding when to use "who" and when to use "whom."
Trying to force people to use these dead "rules" accomplishes little more than stroking your ego, cultivating a vague anxiety when using certain criticized forms, and enforcing a reputation of Linguistics as not the science of language but the practice of insulting people about their language. Please stop.
* yes, I know this sentence uses the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is not totally dead.
If only basic linguistics would be taught properly. This article is a sort of linguistics version of the "mathematicians lament" that's floating around these here comments. Syntax and morphology are incredibly interesting, but in k-12 education (in the US anyway) it largely becomes a series of excuses for red marks to appear on student papers.
It might be able hide if it does get swapped to disk, I just don't know. I do know, however, that if it's swapped to disk, it is not running and so cannot engage in the tricks that malware usually does to avoid detection. It can no longer stop the verifier from scanning it and running more conventional virus detection techniques. I'm a little skeptical that this is foolproof against a zero-day attack that will let itself get swapped out, since the checksums can match with no delay and conventional virus detection techniques are less likely to work.
Just because you know that you have 6 gigs of ram doesn't tell you why the hash is going to exclusively be modified by the malware versus, you know, everything else running.
Before you hash the RAM, everything except the verifier gets swapped out of RAM to disk. This means that nothing except the verifier should be running. If malware ends up getting swapped to disk, it's no longer running, but it's also taking up space (on disk) that can be detected. If the malware does not get swapped to disk, then it must be modifying RAM in some way. The business about checksums and timing checksums is just a way of seeing if something is running that should not be running.
Given the topic of the summary, anyone who clicked on that without double checking where it went should reflect on the consequences of clicking on links randomly.
Actually i'm pretty excited for all the websites that will use this for 3D navigation menus. Who says it's only for games? And the best part is everyone will have to use this plugin to navigate those sites!
So if you are actually wanting to convert followers to your OS/religion/whatever? hate to be the one to break the news but compromises will have to be made.
Sure, but what about those of us who don't care about increasing market share? My family uses OS X, and every time I try to set something up for them, I have to guess and click on a bunch of largely undocumented buttons and menus. Since the programs are closed and don't cooperate with other programs, I have to learn each program individually (including completely redundant functionality like exporting compressed archives) instead of just learning the new things that program does that I can't do with other tools.
This is perfectly fine for them, but I'm concerned that this rush to market Linux to the masses will do the same thing to Linux. Personally, I don't much care if joe six-pack uses windows or mac os x, I just want to keep being able to type '$ man <whatever>' then write a shell script to do what I want with the tools I know. With free software (that stays free via copyleft), I can be reasonably confident that my operating system will stay open and easy for me.
Or they access your facebook account and start taking guesses are the answers to the security questions you're forced to use
This is why I always bang on the keyboard for 20 seconds when giving answers to those security questions—except for my current bank account, which requires me to provide my answers to the ``security'' questions to log in to online banking....
You could make a case that it's in fact bad for people to all work off the same data set or code, as any mistakes (or even deliberate fraud) will then be common to all analyses.
Right. As they say, there's no data like more data.

Depends on your definition of expectation ;)
maximum likelihood isn't the only way to go.... and sparse data is exactly where it crashes and burns

Obligatory comment mentioning that (copylefted) Free software is the only kind of software where your suspicions do not apply.
