I'm sorry but the minority population in China has been increasing the last 50 years. Especially after the introduction of the one child policy where minorities were given special permission to have up to 4 kids where as the Han were only allowed one up until recently when it increased to 2 children.
88% to spot paid posters? Stick around the internet long enough and you can recognize them with better abilities then that software.

Microsoft have the one problem - their success. Most of it was due to luck - Corporate America chose Microsoft as the OS of choice, beginning with MS-DOS.
It had nothing to do with luck, Bill sold himself to IBM at a time when IBM was considered king for everything from a desktop computer to a mainframe, which in turn forced everyone to follow with IBM and adopt MS-DOS regardless if it was the best solution at the time.
It was a time back when "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" was still in full swing, and if IBM is endorsing a OS or even a roll of toilet paper, any business that had them, or wanted them at the time, would have followed suit.
I hate to say it but as far back as 2006 you could control your phone with Symbian using voice.
It is not even considered a special feature on a Nokia, and it opens applications and functions on the phone without asking some server what does the command mean.
Apple is already well known to be on the wrong side of the privacy fence, why would you trust them with Siri?
Red is using a image sensor the size of 35mm film. Big deal. Their sensors are also measuring less pixels per mm then film does. RED sensors natively only do 4,096 by 2,304 or 9MP, all the other sizes are cut down from this that it produces, or done in software.
At the moment, good 35mm film stock is generally rated to being equivalent to 80MP under normal conditions (due to lighting changes etc if at ideal values film can go up to 140MP for normal films, but even as high as 400MP using photo-archiving film). These are native resolutions not software "enhanced".
Your HD TV, at 1080p, is only giving you 2MP worth of image. A 10 year old digital camera can do that for you. Film will still be used for decades, why? Because it can always be scanned at a higher resolution at a later date, and even fixed up if our scanner resolutions finally reach the resolutions supported by film already. At the moment, high quality film scanners are only capable of 50MP natively.
But just like in film photography, the higher megapixel digital camera's cannot compete with medium formats (such as 6x6) large formats (such as 4x5 inches) and even good 35mm film stock when it comes to enlargements. Which is why you are told to sit "x" number of feet away from your HDTV so you get that good picture. As at that point the fuzz disappears due to your own eyes resolution when looking at something being less then the distortion of the picture.
There have been news stories for the last 10 years about both motion picture film camera's and still camera's being completely discontinued, and every time the story has been highly misrepresented.
Speaking of Arduino and the "open hardware" movement. What is the big deal? Yeah, schematics and documentation are free but the circuits they are using are closed. It is a shame that all the Arduino people have taken the "open hardware" label and misused it.
Pretty much. Arduino does nothing the Atmel Studio already did such as interface with AVR-GCC. You just save on the ISP due to the bootloader, which other development boards have had anyways for a while. And its something Atmel has published, the specifications and methods to set up boot loader for the AVR.
Actually, AVR Studio 4/5 is over all better quality then the Arduino IDE GUI that looks like it was put together by a grade 10 computer science student. And the interface to AVR-GCC ain't all that great. Using AVR-GCC directly or through Studio will produce less issues especially once you start to use more advanced features of the AVR controller.
Not really, only the subscribers to Rogers would suffer, as they'd use it as a excuse to charge a "Government blocking fee" and increase their profits for that month.
While it might not be the fastest it does a good job as a media tablet, internet surfer and E-book reader.
While capacitive LCD's are all the rage, its resistive touch screen allows a old Palm user such as myself to use a stylus which is a plus.
The fact that it makes iPad owners envious that it runs Windows 7 and within reason of CPU power any Windows program makes it icing on the cake.
