Also, by afloat, I mean atop clouds. You see, it's a flying mansion, that floats in the clouds. Unfortunately, this means that I have to keep clouds in the air. Weather manipulation can be quite pricey.
I'm the CEO of a B2B middleware provider that's about to IPO. I pull down $6,000,000,000 a year, and that's before you count my side job selling ice cubes to eskimos.
I get to spend most of my work day (30-40 mins on average) coding in f*ckf*ck. During that time, I write natural language systems that are being deployed on Mars rovers. These are secret Mars rovers that we're using to help interpret Martian languages.
All of this can hardly keep my, only moderately sized, mansion in Luxembourg afloat.
I make good money at the moment, and spend my money exactly like that (except that I own 2 cars).
That said, I love what I do, and I love what I'm doing. I look at the start of the week like a roller coaster coming to the top of the hill, and I enjoy the ride.
I think that puts me far ahead of when I had a job that was about like working at McDonalds (working at a theme park).
I absolutely hated being called a "Jr. Software Engineer." It was something that I felt was lorded over me with spite.
Finally, I said something, and the title was removed. That said, not everybody can get away with saying "hey, change my title." I had already made much firmer demands than that, my time was limited (I returned to graduate school a month or so later), and I was highly valued. Change any one of those variables, and you sound like a pretentious prick.
Oh yeah, and new hires out of college didn't have the title anymore. The guy who was hiring new folks at the time didn't feel the need to inflict that on them. When there were people far more junior than I at the company, who didn't have that title, it was obviously time to fix it.
Microsoft Sucks, F/OSS Rocks. I get mod points now right?
It's a real sign of the times when someone comes to Slashdot with that as their.sig line. Either, you don't support open source (Slashdot, part of the OSDN...) or, you feel that most posters here are twits who know only those few phrases.
See, back in my day, when Democrats went to Democratic conventions, nobody sat there and bitched about how far to the left everyone was.
Yeah, I didn't want to say that since it's not a terribly nice thing to say, but mySQL didn't ever work properly (referential integrity anyone) back when people actually argued about it.
It got a lot better in the meantime, but failing to operate properly for me at the start really was a death-blow. I haven't checked it out in a while.
The biggest misery was that it had super-vocal supporters who really just didn't understand what a database is supposed to do.
You, however, are trying to cover up how deeply personally you take all of this. It's also worth noting that your condescending tone is asinine, as your poor tact and terrible use of argument betrays how truely puerile you are.
I haven't felt a need to be rude about this matter, I really think that you should reconsider your tone. With every post, you make yourself look worse. Since you've chosen to condescend to me, however, I'll allow you to burn yourself as you see fit.
CNET is reporting that MySQL and SCO have signed a partnership to work on "joint certification, marketing, sales, training and business development work for a version of the database for SCO's new OpenServer 6 version of Unix." Why would MySQL decide to work directly with a company that has deemed the GPL as unconstitutional?
Well, they've done everything else right so far...
What can I say? Thanks world. I hope my politicians are smart enough to accept the aid and feel your brotherhood, rather than turn it away out of some foolish sense of pride.
I honestly thought that the number would be... zero.
Supervised implies something a little different here.
A supervised algorithm has to be given all of the answers. An unsupervised algorithm is assumed to come up with the correct answers, without an initial list of correct answers.
Well, before we judge too quickly, it's wise to remember that most of these tasks are done with separate taggers in application. I've been busy with other tasks tonight, and so haven't read the paper yet.
For the most part, a word sense disambiguation system would be able to sort out the conflicts that you point out there... the more difficult case being subtle shades of meaning in polysemous words. Words like bank, that could mean a financial instituion, or the edge of a river, for instance, are much more difficult.
Almost all of modern NLP relies on statistical approaches.
I'm not going to chime in and start a flame-war, but since your view is rather iconoclast, I think it only fair to point this out to the Slashdot audience, who are probably not as informed on the topic as you or I.
Actually, what is actually new about this is the unsupervised approach. Graph parsers are quite popular in Natural Language Processing applications, but they use supervised methods.

...are computer science. You signed up for a Computer Science program, not at "become a programmer" program.
If you wanted to go to a trade school, you should have.
Haha, all good.
Notice the other side of the thread I started? Oi!

Not that you are either.
Everyone on The Hill said that they'd go.

You have noticed that I'm merely replying to your messages, and so, whenever you're done, the thread dies.
I however, am rather indefatigable.
What do you think that you're accomplishing. Seriously?
Where do you think that you sound smart? Where do you think that I look bad here?

Not at all.

Then the company that made the original cartridge goes out of business, and the one that allows me to refill stays in business.
Or were you driving at some other point? Like the company that wasn't as popular before changing policies.

That's actually a pretty funny theory, and one that I'd back you on.
Your attempts to win this one are impotent
Well, apparently they didn't know how to fix it either, since, now, all requests are going straight to Google.
