I have experience as a programmer, project manager, business analyst, software infrastructure architect, server and my current assignment is to create a new software department. You can call me an IT guy, but that doesn't describe my level of expertise. I graduated college as an Engineer, which doesn't describe all that either.
You wouldn't plainly call a building architect the "construction guy" or the CFO of a bank "a finance guy". Sometimes you need to make the distinction to prevent people from thinking that you have a simple job. If you are proud of your qualities, you can call it whatever makes you feel good.
Well actually, because these NVIDIA glasses are already using an infrared connection to synchronize the shutter glasses with the monitor, you could also implement the head tracking solution as demonstrated by Johnny Chung Lee with the Wii-remote

I didn't realize it at the time, but even my dad asked me if he should be using Chrome somehow... I had not even heard of it myself (I was on holiday for a few days)
Actually, this could mean that the applications will run even faster. You don't require a powerfull machine, just a fast internet connection. The rest of the work can be done by powerfull servers. Just loading the screens will probably be faster then loading an entire Adobe application.
The quote says: "The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it." If you look purely at the language (and not the fact that the person might have meant to say "the average female in comparison to a muscular man") this means that besides any man with muscles, even women can beat it. As if all men are stronger then all women.
But I just asumed these are just poorly chosen words, and the spokeswoman (!) doesn't think all men are stronger then all women. No reason to make a big deal out of this.
I mean, if I say "People hailing from Western Africa have darker skin than those from Western Europe", is there anything wrong with it? Of course not. It just becomes a problem when I add, "and so we can subjugate them." I leave it up to you to decide who "we" are and who "they" are. The problem is that there is no rule on how to read your sentence. You can read it both ways: - "People hailing from Western Africa have darker skin than all those from Western Europe" - "People hailing from Western Africa have darker skin on average than those from Western Europe have on average"
That's why it is PC to make sure you make it clear which one you mean.
Any system where you allow people to interact with eachother though electronic message can be used to send spam. When there are more users to a system, spam will be an attractive marketing method. Unless every message goes though an administrator who has to approve them, you can't stop ALL of it. But you can stop most of it, which is what they did with the latest patch... and automated administrator checking messages based on keywords and spam-reports.
I just hope that there won't be some alien race we have to crush to get there. Think about the intergalactic lawsuits and casino's at the end of the galaxy that will follow.
The earth can be the center of the solar system, but we would have to start thinking about gravity in a different way. Now we regard the object with the most mass as the center around which the rest revolves. We can most likely create a whole new way of look at physics by using the earth (or timespace-location of the experiment) test as the middlepoint of the universe. But that would contradict our normal way of thinking of "big is better".
I would think that the cost of maintaining Wikipedia would eventually be reduced to a minimum. Because the cost of bandwidth becomes cheaper every day and although the usage of Wikipedia is still growing, this will eventually stagnate. If Wikimedia wants to start up new services like Wikibooks and Wikiwhatever they should give proper priority to the original Wikipedia.
I agree, but that doesn't make it less spectacular. The most correct (don't read: profitable) way to advertise this would be: "This will take off 12 hours from your trip" or "Is 7 times more comfortable to people with claustrophobia".
As the younger generations start to take back this world it will become a better place to live...
This statement has been proven wrong so many times. The people frmo younger generations think they can do it so much better, but in the end the are still human and most of them lose their ideals when they get families and things are getting tough. And it will get tough one day... and the change of heart then seems to help them out in so many other fields that they'd rather not be so idealistic anymore, but rather take care of their families.
I just believe that the evolution of mankind isn't going so fast, that humans become completely different beings in just a few generations. And as long as we are human, we will be freakishly religious... even the ones that think they are not (they just don't see it, because it all seems so normal to think like that)
This is what I would call a mutation. It isn't evolution until this mutation causes the species to be selected by nature for being better able to reproduce. All because of advantages to it's environment.
What YOU should have done, is contact someone at utube directly about this idea and perhaps gotten some kind of reward for a brilliant idea. Now somebody else will take credit for it or even worse, they might never hear about it...
Element 118, the heaviest element yet found, was produced through collisions that fused together Californium and Calcium atoms. Although element 118 is too unstable to detect directly, the presence of daughter elements resulting from the decay of element 118 gave clues to its fleeting existence.
The system recognizes the need for harvesting ideas from the entire company instead of just one or two "idea-men" in a stock-market-esque idea exchange. From the article: "We're the founders, but we're far from the smartest people here,"
why I like Google so much... not just because it is good for searching or has lots of 'innovative' products. But because they are starting to become a monopoly on the internet-ad market. And got there in a way that ads have become invisble for me.

I generally just tell people, that I'm a nerd.

So you may not be far from the truth.

Well it's working flawless here.
"What is the population of Fiji?" or "How far is Saturn from the Sun?"
And the source-sites don't even have these exact sentences written down.
Pretty intelligent if you ask me.
