    Does anyone know how to enter the contest?

  2. Re:1 out of every 3 GBP? No. on Can a Customer Loyalty Database Change a Society? · · Score: 1

    I actually think the statistic he was mentioning was:

    1 GBP in every 8 GBP spent by general consumers is spent in Tesco stores.

    This figure may be wrong, but it is the best that I can remember.

    I would have thought that you would have 3/4 less life, rather than losing all your life.... 1 - (1/2 * 1/2) = 3/4 rather than 1/2 + 1/2!

    www.gnod.net is similar to what you are saying... I think it has quite a cool interface as well, but it not only does music, but books and films as well

  17. Re:Sorry Peter... on Peter Molyneux Asks For Gov't Help For Small Shops · · Score: 1

    All successfull business's recognise that without people, companies are literally worthless. People are the most important asset. they make your products, run your services, clean your toilets. If production needs to be ramped up, the only way to invest in technology is to have the people to do the R&D and the hard work to get it in place!!!

  18. Re:Sorry Peter... on Peter Molyneux Asks For Gov't Help For Small Shops · · Score: 1

    I am under the impression that he (PM) is more or less stating that grants should be issued more willingly to small gaming companies with good ideas. For instance many local councils will provide grants (or at least put you in touch with organisations that do) to small companies that have good business models and are "Investors in People" (ie they employ local talent). Therefore if a games company can produce a reliable and sustainable product and client base then yes; grants are good... If not; they are just the same as all small failing business's and not really worth a damn :)

    Remeber a country that has people in employment (even if it is goverenment subsidised) is technically more ... can't think of the word.... economically stable.

  23. Re:Neutrinos on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: 1

    Jeez I can't spell!

    It should have read

    Would the atoms and electrons not be effected by rougue neutrinos more than a normal harddrive would? Which obviously needs millions of atoms to encode one bit?

  24. Neutrinos on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: 1

    Would the atoms and electrons not be effect by rougue Neutrinos more than a normal hardrive, which obviously needs millions of atoms to encode one bit?

  25. Re:I see one being implemented soon on Google Programming Contest Winner · · Score: 1

    I don't think that is the solution, I have been writing a free format Mailing Address Matcher recently, and simply having 'is X a subset of Y' isn't the best idea (it is not bad) but things might be totaly in the wrong order etc etc.... Some sort of context analysis will help alot. Levenstein Distances etc.

    ps I am in no way saying that what freshmeat do is bad, but since it is on a a 'small' scale then there solution is probably best for them.
