Getting semantic meaning out of a sentence is far harder for a computer than it is for us humans. Unfortunatly humans are lazy, and its pretty hard to markup everything.
But if only we had a perfect complete Onthology and format, then we could map the universe and have computers do our thinking for us. If only.
I had never heard of this attribute before. And I'm pretty sure that "Blogger using automatic content system to input the article" wouldn't have heard of it either.
Sure you can do it with all links, but that'll ruin how Page Rank works.
Natural Language processing is one of the hardest problems there are in ICT.
If only Search Engines could actually understand the Natural Language we type our websites in - then we wouldn't even need to research anything, just ask the Search Engine and get the correct answer - already pre-filtered and understood.
Won't be happening very soon - because there are tons of ways of saying the same thing.
"The following website gives irreputable medical advice - which could be dangerous for health. [Link]" "[Link], [Link2], and [Link3] - one of the three scam sites which were detected by [Reputable site]"
The second one is a very interesting problems, how do you mark it? Without marking reputable site as well?
This shows the failure of how hyperlinks works and how the page rank algorithm works.
The Page rank algorithm determines how useful a site is based on the amount of hyperlinks TO the website. Each count is multiplied by how reputable a website is - so if its a huge website which brings in millions of users - then its more likely to be reputable than a website on a free host which gets 10 hits a year.
Now the problem with hyperlinks is that there is no semantic information attached to them - if you place a link on a page - there is no way to mark it as "This is a dangerous page" for example, or "This guy is an idiot, someone shut him up" or "This is an adverstiment, they have nothing to do with us". So the crawler notices a reputable website is linking on another site - and gives points accordingly.
The best solution is to add semantic information to hyperlinks - but that's not supported yet...
But apparently the jobs being provided aren't going to be very supported when the level of education crawls downwards. Lots of money in education is needed for those sort of jobs. I think in the end its going to be unsustainable - if they'd need to get foreigners to do all the work for them - it'll be cheaper to just relocate. Maybe.
The general consensus about/. users is that software patents ruin the economy and are an immensly stupid idea.
So the editor is basically speaking the majority consensus. That said, I doubt anyone wants to have one click shopping patented - except of course Amazon.
You used to be suppressed by Free Media. But now I think you're needed again. People shouldn't know everything - especially if the truth will hurt them. In fact, people knowing things is stopping us from doing whatever we want - without any bad reprecussions.
But won't that cause everything to turn even more horrible?
If even open-source companies patent their stuff... then we're going to end up with a world, where the only way to solve this horrible mess of patents - is for even people who develop software for non-commercial purposes - to file them themselves?
Blacklists don't work. They only work until someone creates a new domain outside of the blacklist. Since this is the internet, and sites come and go, I'm sure large pornography websites can afford to pay an extra 10 dollars or so a month to circumvent this.
Also, what else are you going to block? Are you going to block download sites? Torrents might contain porn too. Oh wait, I said Torrents. How about a special opt-in for those too eh?
People like new things. I think you can get more people to change by telling them "The latest Ubuntu is out!" - which has some large changes which people can get wowed by and appriciate.
That said, with the update manager always updating at least SOMETHING every day, its sorta like this.
That said, I wish to add a question - What exactly is the difference between say Ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 ? What exactly is a 'latest upgrade' ? When they change the way things look and a few policies (such as the default media players?)
Your argument seems to be along the lines of "If a fridge gets more complicated - then it'll stop being able to peform its duties as a 'keeping-cold' device". I would think (hope?) that:
1. The software is tested (or formally proven) - there are very little inputs to account for anyway 2. There is a backup in terms of a thermostat or a FLC (in fact, I'm 101% sure that you could do the 'different modes' using a FLC with a number of different rules depending on the mode chosen).
I'm pretty sure I'd prefer to check event logs then to just guess that the little piece of metal which is meant to keep my fridge at the right temperature failed to break the circuit because it broke, or got too cold and snapped or whatever.
The average "global usage share" of browsers gives Opera as being a bit less than 2%.
I agree, its still a hell of a lot of computers. This is similar to the whole "Oh, linux users account only for 1%" argument. You're right, its a large number - and I'm sure many individuals will be effected (50 million or so in fact) - but given the 30% and 12% FF and Chrome have, its not too much.
I don't know, I don't think that Opera is ever going to be anything better than that "Weird browser which few people use" - not on desktops anyway.
Addons are Firefox's deal - they are pretty locked down in that aspect (making FF an 'addon-platform' more than anything else) - I don't think its going to compare with FF's popularity.
I'm pretty sure Opera users will be happy with their nice addons now - but I don't see this drawing anyone away from anything else - if you want speed - you go Chrome, if you want addons - you go Firefox. If you want to be special - you go Safari - if you've been living under a rock - you go IE6.
I'm a bit sorry for Opera - they made a good piece of work by all respects.
Which is why I should totally use it while I'm running around calling people "Noobs" and blowing their heads off with automatic weapons, then teabagging them.
If in some other game, you're roleplaying a buddhist monk who has it around his neck as a good-luck symbol, its all good and dandy.
Because to pay good enough lawyers to say that to a bunch of people who know very little about computers, while other lawyers attempt to show these bunch of people that it is the case... requires money?

Hello Censorship, my old friend,
You used to be suppressed by Free Media. But now I think you're needed again. People shouldn't know everything - especially if the truth will hurt them. In fact, people knowing things is stopping us from doing whatever we want - without any bad reprecussions.
Lots of Love
Me.

I thought they discontinued that technology in favour of USB 3...
Now the most obvious reaction is to just say "Meh, apple can play around with their expensive toys".
But history has shown that within 1 month we'll have SUPER LAPTOPS with this technology in them.
I can't understand anything...
Step 1 - Be a large company.
Step 2 - Afford the world's best lawyers
Step 3 - Sue
No luck for the rest of us.
This is all a conspiracy - first step towards an Embryo supermarket.
"*Beep* That'll be 9.95 sir, cash or credit?"
How is this going to work ? A blacklist?

You won't need a naked-scanner for that one.
Next Next Step will be places of work and all public places.
Tons of people have worked out that this stupid policy is not a solution - why hasn't the government?
(continued)
Lets hope they continue development for this - I wouldn't like for this branch to be frozen.
*tap tap* Is this thing on?
I don't really like this news.

We're not "most people".
Because the victors do not wish to glorify the losers.
And because of the fact that they were responsable for millions of deaths - including quite a few innocent ones.
You don't want people glorifying the largest attempt ever at genocide.
...linux is cool.
Yes I know, painful. I'm sorry.
