  5. a year?? on Rome, Built In a Day · · Score: 1

    I don't think so.
    after a while you have a set of "high hit" images (ones that are found the most). start with that set
    if you have a location with 5000 images and after 50 of those images you stll don't have a hit for that location: move on to the next location.
    it would safe a lot of time.

    As long as they don't know how to check for errors in the translation.

    how about being infected with a potential deadly disease and using a placebo as medicine?

  21. Cloud on News Sites Slammed By Michael Jackson Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if all those sites were "in the clouds", they would all demand extra (limited) cloud power. So unless default is to have 3 or 4 datacenters on standby...

  24. Re:give me a break on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 1

    indeed it depends on how thongs will be implemented, but having seen "sicko" (and knowing M Moore probably is biased too, it still seems the UK system (public healthcare) works fine and people get what they need.

    But the point you make about malpractice suits is interesting too...

  25. Re:give me a break on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 2, Informative

    well. there is one thing in economics that is rather clear. profit.

    if ANY private organisation is involved in your healthcare you will pay (a lot) more than in actually costs. hospitals, insurance, medicines. you'll pay (a lot) extra to make the shareholders happy.

    see. it isn't that hard to understand.
