Hey, I tried "test:test", and "test1234:test1234", "fake:fake"...given more synonyms for "false", I could've tried others, but "dummy" worked, thank you very much.
I remember being shown "current" research into this a couple years ago (winter 1999-2000) on a campus tour at Carnegie Mellon--anyone remember this? It was called "Informedia", and it promised to monitor closed captioning on all channels for keywords, and record the A/V stream as well as save the closed captioning.
Oh here we go, I found a link to it. Very interesting stuff. As it turns out, the use is to store this video in libraries...it would be recorded from WQED and similar educational stations and accessible for playback later. Very entertaining project, IMO.
Here's an early overview of the project. "RATIONALE of the Informedia Digital Video Library Goal: The Informedia(tm) Digital Video Library Project at Carnegie Mellon University is creating a digital library of text, images, videos and audio data available for full content retrieval. The initial testbed will be installed in several K-12 schools and students will use the Informedia System to explore multi-media data for educational purposes. The Informedia system for video libraries goes far beyond the current paradigm of video-on-demand, by retrieving a short video paragraph in response to the user's query.
(Why is this project needed, why now) Vast digital libraries of information will soon become available on the nation's Information Superhighway as a result of emerging multimedia computing technologies. These libraries will have a profound impact on the conduct of business, professional, and personal activities. However, it is not enough to simply store and play back information as in commercial video-on-demand services. New technology is needed to organize and search these vast data collections, retrieve the most relevant selections, and effectively reuse them.
The Informedia Library project proposes to develop these new technologies and to embed them in a video library system primarily for use in education and training. The nation's schools and industry together spend between $400 and $600 billion per year on education and training, an activity that is 93% labor-intensive, with little change in teacher productivity ratios since the 1800s. The new digital video library technology will allow independent, self-motivated access to information for learning, exploration, and research. This will bring about a revolutionary improvement in the way education and training are delivered and received."
ah, no big deal. I probably should have mentioned it was offtopic so they didn't mod it as such...somebody thought it was funny too so I'm all balanced out.

I think the results were analyzed very well. I particularly like the way they took the results and separated respondents into categories by motivations and contribution status: "Professionals" (paid for contribution, and do it for the work functionality), "Hobbyists" (completely non work-functionality), "Learning and Intellect" (motivation is intellectual stimulation), and "Community Believers" (believe that code should be open, and feel obligated to use).
Another interesting result for me as an undergraduate was that while sleep is the biggest thing lost by contributing to SourceForge, not many respondents felt the same about academic performance--leading me to believe that even though so much work is put in as to lose sleep over it, it may actually benefit college grades--which is what I've been told all along. Extracurriculars don't necessarily hurt your academics, in fact they can enhance it by giving you something else to focus on and enjoy. All in all a good survey.
As the previous replier notes, HP would be completely on the defense, when they are the ones bringing the suit and thus they are the ones who have to prove that SnoSoft is guilty of something. From the "like a train wreck" perspective, I'm more than a little disappointed HP backed off, because this would've been so fun to watch unfold...but it's still going to be fun to watch just how far HP backpedals...as someone else has noted, it'd be great to see them say "see, the DMCA can be used to stifle legitimate security concerns" and protest it, but that's probably not going to happen in this lifetime.
In addition, the "altruistic" tag everyone seems to be using, in my opinion, only means that they are finding and reporting exploits to the community. It shouldn't be necessary to report them only to HP for their efforts to be truly altruistic in nature.
Gaits: they're a tradeoff between efficiency (speed) and stability (not falling over). Insects seem to be the best example: starting with millipedes and centipedes, which move one set of legs at a time in a serial pattern over many legs...moving all the way up to cockroaches, which nearly always move with tripod gait, which allows them to skitter so quickly across floors and scare the living bejesus out of people.
Props to EECS 391: intro to artificial intelligence...
Then again, what with that doomsday asteroid making big scary headlines at the BBC, maybe they aren't so finicky about what makes the news after all.;)
and what was the human lifespan 7000 years ago - they were lucky if they made 30.
Good point. While this is not to say that what we know of ourselves 7000 years ago is of no use, I don't feel that it ought to dictate how we eat today. We've changed, and so has the food we eat.
Furthermore, the fact is, although it's 'illegal', if you just do it in your room, you are unlikely to be caught and prosecuted for it, as compared to, say, if you did it and tried to sell a mobile phone.
So STFU about your damn rights being impinged on, jesus.
If you did it and tried to sell a mobile phone, wouldn't they already be able to arrest you for stealing the phone and reselling it? Isn't the new law redundant? If all you're trying to do is prevent phone theft with this new law, why not step up punishment or enforcement of the preexisting law?
What about if I want to sell my phone after I've discontinued service and switched providers? Does this present a problem? Granted, I'm American, so this doesn't affect me, but hypothetically speaking, I'd like to know.
Oh wow, I remember reading that when I used borland's compiler (4.0 or 5.0 I think) in high school (this is in the late 90s, which should tell you something about my high school's willingness to fund the computer lab)...This led into about 5 minutes spent trying to figure out the resonant capacity of human skulls, spoiled by someone realizing that we didn't have nearly enough power...as I look back on that I think "how could I have been so stupid", but that's life.
That's beautiful, but...third grade!? You must've been one precocious kid...or had a programmer father. My dad showed me GW-BASIC when I was in elementary school but he's a machinist...I basically learned whatever I learned (not a whole lot, just enough to whet my appetite) on my own.
Adaptation, to my understanding, is learning within a single generation. Evolution is the passing on of beneficial traits through the generations, by means of natural selection. Mosquitoes probably aren't going to learn that "hey, that high-pitched whine isn't a predator" since their avoidance mechanism is most likely a genetic instinct. Hence, the original poster was probably on target when he used the term "evolution" and not "adaptation". And whoever the AC was that replied to this, don't assume things...there's no reason to believe that he was trying to make a religious statement.
This is probably going to be modded redundant, but your comment is right on. There's no need to say "analog is dead/obsolete" just because it's old. It's working fine for what we're using it for, and I am wholly unconvinced that digital is better, across the board. This is not even bringing into the debate all the DRM issues that the government will be lobbied to force on us by content providers...i.e., how do you tape a program? _Clearly_, a digital copy is just ILLEGAL because it's simply too easy to pirate content that way. [/sarcasm] So essentially, the capability to tape shows will be weakened/eliminated for the government's efforts to convert us from analog to digital.
We just don't need it at this time. However, maybe in the future this may not be so much of an issue because the price of converting from analog to digital will have come down. I still worry about the DRM situation though. Who's betting that the MPAA gets proceeds from whatever backup media is common when this goes through (a la music CDRs and the RIAA)?
You know, that last bit about getting the gym membership instead of cable is actually a good point...I can watch TV while running on the treadmill for the hour I'm at the Y each day, and I'll pay the same thing as if I had cable, in addition to getting fit at the same time.
Heh, your comment reminds me of a priceless line from Bulletproof (Sandler movie): "Sandler: $100,000?!? What's a car do for ya for $100,000? Suck your dick? Wayans: Beats the hell outta cruise control."
If they had warning signs on largish geysers that can spring up without warning, that might actually be a good warning sign, otherwise, I'd have to believe you misread it.
