Hey Instine. Hope this message finds you. You mentioned open sourced plans for a democracy, etc. As it happens I'm working on a site that pretty much does this. Would be great to have a chat about this.
Acredito que se trata de uma tendência absolutamente natural na evolção de qualquer rede social. O fato dos brasileiros terem tomado o lugar dos alemães ou indianos, foi parte por timing, parte por coincidência. Como um outro comentário mencionou, muitos norte-americanos acabaram ignorando convites para o Orkut por causa da febre do Friendster que já tinha passado por eles, enquanto essa febre jamais chegou aqui no Brasil.
(espero que tenha bastante brasileiro por aí com pontos para moderar. abraço.)
Hey Sam. I know this comment won't be rated very high, but i'd like to congratulate you for being slashdotted and creating such a great site. I promise we'll work out the new templates soon.

Fraunhofer Labs in Germany, the same laboratory that invented the MP3 compression a few years ago, has been working on such a technology for quite a while.
Google for it and i'm sure you'll find some interesting articles.
Well, NTSC DV is about 220 Megs/Minute (or 5 minutes/Gig), which means that 500 gigs is good for about 2500 minutes, or 41.67 hours of DV-Compressed video.
You can find good ones will little lens-distortion (although most cheap lenses tend to have some barrel-distortion) that will take 2-3 megapixel pictures for under $300. 2MP is really enough to do accurate OCRing.
One of the best sources for review and sample pictures is dpreview.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Brazil, insurances (at least Car Insurances) don't really cover accidents due to forces of nature.
slashkitty: I see a fundamental difference between scripted intelligence (which evidently is perceived as 'real') and artificial intelligence with reasoning.
I would dare saying that one could emulate Real Intelligence through a complex algorithm, which is one of Stephen Wolfram's arguments in his A New Kind of Science. Intelligence is a complex function on many levels, one of which is what is perceived. And am waiting for an AI-bot that not only Seems to reason, but actually knows it's reasoning.
As I understand it, Alicebot uses a rather complex set of lists with Questions and Answers; which does not qualify as 'Real' AI to me. When do you think there will be Bots which do not rely on lists, but rather perform real reasoning (in neural nets, for example)?
Furthermore, do you believe that these interconnected lists of Questions and Answers will evolve into real reasoning over time (through increased complexity)?
First job was to establish high level goals.... Reliability - Nothing should be able to crash the OS. Anything that crashes the OS is a bug. Very radical thinking inside of Microsoft considering Win16 was cooperative multi-tasking in a single address space, and OS/2 had many similar attributes with respect to memory isolation
Extensibility - Ability to extend the OS over time
Compatibility - With DOS, OS/2, POSIX, or other popular runtimes. This is the foundation work that allowed us to invent windows two years into NT OS/2 development.
Performance - All of the above are more important than raw speed!
Here in Brazil, my cellphone provider has a deal where the customers GET credits when somebody calls their phone. So whenever a telemarketer calls me I usually tell them to wait a minute and just put the phone away without hanging up...

I wouldn't call this complete BS.
My iBook G4 800 12" gets about 4-5h with full brightness, and around 5-6h dimmed.
This, of course, with processor scaling set to low in the Energy settings.

In case the site goes down, here's a mirror of hackingthexbox.com.

No, the movie is due in May 2003. Matrix Revolutions is due in October.

That would be Austria (1999 in deed) and not Australia (2002+2013). Different places, you know...
www4.tomshardware.com seems to be working just fine.
Have you considered a small digital photo-camera?

At least it seems so, since the articles will be written on September 3, 2002.
Go figure...
Calvin: [Daydreaming]
Mrs. Wormwood: Calvin! What state do you live in?
Calvin: Denial!
Mrs. Wormwood: I guess I can't argue about that...
Interestingly enough, a pop-up window asking visitors if they are new to the site appeared to me.

Interesting project of yours, by the way.

No, the plural of LEGO as in the Toys is neither 'LEGO' nor 'LEGOS' - it is LEGO Bricks.
One can tell you'd never buy yourself a Rolex.
i guess slashdot proves that to be true...

makes you question how accurate the moderation system is around here...
