This was interesting enough, I guess, as a really high-level description of a process that could be used to build a semantic web.
That said, the researchers picked the domain very carefully - to guarantee a positive-looking result, I guess - but I don't see how this could scale to the web in general, a place where, well, nobody knows you're a dog.

This url: http://www.uic.com.au/nip58.htm points shows a list of new nuclear plants being built in the US. Most of the building is happening in the Southeast. Nothing in CA.
The UK - part of the Dar al Harb which is rapidly sinking under Dar al Islam - is worried about copyright laws that will mean *nothing* when the appropriate parties are being beheaded.
Y'all discovered flight, fission, fusion, philately, flattery, fishing, phishing, fraternity, f-etc., ahead of *all* of us, and yet you are Europe's fastest-dying nation.
Here's the deal: get the general population interested in something other than (V)Wodka for a couple of generations, and then come back to the table.
The Louvre is already moving some of its bits to Atlanta, working as hard and as fast as it can to move as much of Europe's artistic heritage out of Europe ahead of the incoming muslim dark ages.
I posted this in response to someone from the Netherlands who'd made a comment about wanting to be an al Qaeda operative who placed a nuke in Microsoft's campus. Or something like that, I don't have the original post.
Now the original post seems to have disappeared. Or maybe I don't understand/. well enough. You tell (flame) me.
I responded to an Anonymous Coward who'd asked that my original post be modded down.
FISHED IN!!!!! FISHED IN!!!!!
Hook. Line. Sinker.
Almost as much fun as fish, barrel, smoking gun.
I'd encourage you to do something about the persecution complex. Stop sniffing your farts, or something.

Actually, all snottiness aside, you did come across a little smug in your original post. Sorry to say it, but you did.
Let's face it: we're all just muddling through. Maybe you made a good RealTV decision, but I'll bet you've made bad decisions elsewhere. I know I have (e.g., I own a TiVo).
I'm not perfect at it, but I try to take my good decisions and pass them on witout judgment. I'm not perfect: I still have ego. Sorry.
Anyway, I apologize for yanking your chain. It was a guilty pleasure I sort of regret.
...The Skeptical Environmentalist, whose English translation was published as a peer-reviewed work in environmental economics by Cambridge University Press in 2001.
Also, it appears that Mr Lomborg actually lectured on statistics. You know, the type of mathematics used to build environmental models.
If I have the right take on you, you're from a country famed in the past for its tolerance.
I see now that your new Muslim Overlords are changing the tenor of discourse in the Netherlands. Instead of live and let live, it's a slit throat and knife in the chest for Theo van Gogh, and nukes for Microsoft.
Long ago I remember a Microsoft that had nothing but contempt for the political process. A Microsoft that intended to dominate the market through mass, vendor lockout, FUD, giving stuff away, etc.
You know, the Microsoft that got sued.
Having learned the lesson that ignoring politicians is not good for your health, is it any wonder that Microsoft is lobbying as hard as it can?
Good luck to them. I'll be happy to see them take their lumps when they screw up their technology badly enough that the world moves en masse to something better. Meanwhile, I'm smirking at the do-gooders and busybodies who are being hoisted on their own petards.
So, Hemos, how's that degree in climatology coming along?
For myself, I'm a bystander who's not really noticed much climate change during the 20+ years I've lived in the Southeast of the US (Atlanta, to be specific). Since all I have are my observations, and they seem to indicate a steady state, I refuse to be stampeded by appeals to authority or common practice, or by bandwagons.
The treatment Bjorn Lomborg received reminds me of Galileo before the inquisition. Taking that a little further, please enjoy your religion, but please keep it out of my face.

Thank God for the land of the currently free.
Mohammed H. Islam, you are some pathetic goatfucker! (Hey! How's your sister?)
Did you even bother to read the sentence fully, or are you one of Muktada's smelly volunteers?

As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier.
If you think the average Indian on the street can't out-think the average Indian in Government, well, you just haven't met - wossname - Ghandi.
No insult intended, but it actually used to be "You sit for work? Use the floor or figure out how to levitate, or your job's going to Bangalore."
Burnout? The hell with that. If everyone else is burning out, then "Pay raise" is where I'm going.
I'm not his personal troll.
I'm a simple programmer, laboring in Atlanta's J2EE vineyards, taking the occasion to pull the piss. That's all.
Though.... I have been considering a career change.
I don't understand what's happening here.

Thanks. I appreciate the positive comment. Really.
So, on an internet where nobody knows you're a dog, "reputable" organizations will start posting non-traceable input as news??!?!?!!?!!!
Here, take a look at Green Helmet Guy, the face of anti-semitic news from the Lebanon.
This is a chance for the S/N ratio on the internet to head to, what, minus infinity?

Still enjoying the smell of your own farts?
A cloud of smug!
I, for one, welcome our new Global Warming Tumor Overlords.

Nice.

Indeed. Everyone else learned the lesson, and is zealously self-censoring.
