So you are essentially looking for this page on wikipedia. And you could even help improving the page by adding your own findings. I would think that our beloved Wikipedia is quite semantic and immensely useful.
Then there's social networking sites with tons of favorites, link lists and events listed that can actually overwhelm you with semantic information.
If you think about, the semantic web is everywhere. Not really defined on any kind of protocol level, but rather as web applications or services themselves.
And internet distribution doesn't impact the environment.
This is not true. Producing and running ICT infrastructure has of course impacts on the environment. Producing, powering datacenters and backbones, disposing electronic waste, running personal computers,... a remarkable footprint! I tried to google up some more information and comparisons between different industries, but was unsuccessful. Maybe someone else can come up with some more information?
Of course you are right, but also consider people like me. I work in IT, but having not studied CS and living in Europe, the courses offered by a MIT and now Harvard enables me to learn and understand the theoretical underpinnings of CS from the comfort of my home. And I don't need a "certificate" afterwards, the personal and professional advantages I will gain from these courses will be reflected in my work skills.
And I'm sure there are lots of others with a similar story like mine. For us, such courses are a gift from - insert any paradise-like place here - and I don't care if the "vast majority" does not have a chance in understanding it.
Sure, I'll step into the breach. Audacity works fine on Mac OS X, too (even without X11). I've read that people are using it all the time for minor cropping/OGG-encoding work.
Actors should have full control over their body and will not behave like you just described. If they would just don't care about eye movement in such a scenario, why would the produce hire them at all?
Actually you should get points when a bug that you have reported gets fixed, confirmed and closed. The quality of a software tester should be measured not by the amount of bugs filed, but rather by the care he has taken to write a good report.
Could you propose to hire a software test consultant for a day or two and let him point out serious quality issues (data integrity, security, correctness..)? A serious, alarming report by an external software test professional could help reinforcing your requests?
Well, if its only old crap, just take everything to a SWICO Recycling collection point and leave it there. At least if you happen to live in Switzerland.
What books would you recommend for a molecular biologist who always wanted to study computer science but decided not to and now turns to software engineering? I know lots of stuff, but lack some of the fundamentals and also applications of computer science and software engineering. I am currently reading those books, which are really helpful:
* The Elements of Computing Systems, Noam Nisan & Shimon Shocken
http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/ * Head First: Design Patterns
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007126/
Could anyone recommend other books that "complete" my knowledge? Classics? Stuff about data structures, algorithms, programming theory.
I prefer books written in a fresh, modern style, if possible:-)
Come on, this argument is so old.. Have you never heard of Occam's razor?!
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor): Occam's razor (sometimes spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.
So, actually, the burden of proof lies definitely on the "god-guys"!!! Jeez...
As email asymptotically reachs 100% spam, we will have essentially created a mechanism whose sole goal is to deliver us undesired ads and scams. Talking about spam detectors and blockers and blacklists is irrelevant. Why devote all of this energy to ensure that maybe 5, 10, or 20 people can contact you or your business a day?
That's the reason social networks are really getting grip now!!
Because there is a lot of costly R&D involved in inventing, developing and testing such devices. Also companies mostly provide very good support in case of malfunctions, as well as general help..
You can buy a car from Mercedes, but you can also mount a little engine on your bicycle... You get the point.
After you've tried to use functionSignature and study the compiler output, the spelling error will immediately become clear. I don't understand the problem. Most often you need variables, objects etc. more than once.
Slashdot Mirror
Well even computer literate people like me who have not read much about OpenID have troubles immediately understanding how it works.

Mr. Robinson was indicted for violating a recent patent owned by Apple, Inc...
(take a look at the website)
I, for one, welcome the Higgs bosons from the future that successfully interfere with the LHC in the present!

Empathy has video chat using jingle [..] and it uses Telepathy
Now that's great! So you don't even need a network connection!

Why did they call it wino, when it would have been much more appropriate to call it emo?

They just don't know when to stop. Evangelizing the future?!

Thanks!
Thanks very much for this interesting list of books. I will use this a guideline for my next book purchases! I appreciate your reply very much!
I'll shamelessly hijack this post.

I also think we have to invent a new award for the ugliest plots ever seen.. Jeez!
Sure, but they state on their website that a TinyURL "never expires", so what is the problem? :-)

Because everyone understands it anyway? It's really not that much of a big deal, mate.

You mean, like the world wide web?
