Gmail was launched on April Fool's last year and everyone thought it was a joke then. A free gig of e-mail? Yeah right! Who would do such a thing? And you're also saying that others will follow suit throughout the next year? What? No way!!.. that's the power of Google.
I was wondering about compression. If you can find patterns in how all numbers work, then shouldn't you be able to reconstruct much larger data with the very "dna" of it? After all, binary data is just one (huge) number in base 2.
And what about those whose friend peeked secretly for them because they have been constantly bitching and moaning about whether or not they've been accepted?
(this is completely theoretical, but it could happen)
What if you're playing multiplayer with different PPU client hardware? That would seriously mess up gameplay if collision/arc/timing/etc calculations are off.
Alcohol-related accidents kill people every day. I don't see anyone trying to put Budweiser or Anheuser-Busch out of business.
The government tried. Prohibition didn't work because the people actually stood up and acted out against it. Plus, it caused many problems because the demand remained extremely high.
They also have RSS feeds for search expressions. That makes it way more valuable! I'm certainly not an MSN Search fan, but this is very important. Being able to "set a search and forget it" will certainly help them out. Especially if the feed continually updates on the user's machine multiple times a day.
Hey, if there is a better solution, then the idea of using XML should be thrown out the door. Metadata abstraction can be a wonderful thing, especially with flat files such as code.
I'm not suggesting that the code should ever be hidden; far from it actually. When code is locked down, not only should it be visible, but extremely visible (i.e., grayed out or have a special background). As for hidden comments, they should stand out a similar fashion as well. If you have intimate knowledge of the code, the comments wouldn't need to be visible all of the time. I don't know about you, but I certainly like to see as much of the code at a time as possible.
Actually, perhaps it might. Follow me here. Imagine being able to comment a chunk of code, but leave it invisible until the coder decides to review the comment layer. It sure beats polluting the codes readability, regardless of what other IDEs do to fold them. Imagine the possibilities with being able to lock certain areas of the code that you might have intimate knowledge of in a workgroup setting. Do you really want Fred touching that code? Would he even know better? If you were able to add explicit notes as to why certain sections are locked down, then there should be no question. Furthermore, if you were able to keep XML along side the source, you might even be able to work on the same source file with a group of people at the same time. How would this be possible without an abstraction layer? I'm not saying this type of implementation will be easy, but it certainly is far from impossible.
What a coincidence. I saw Blade Trinity on Saturday night and I almost walked out because I thought the advertising was so rediculous. I had never seen advertising pushed so hard before! Almost everyone was talking (scornfully, might I add) through them as well.
I timed it at roughly 15 minutes for commercials (longer than 30 second spots, 2 to 3 minutes each) and 15 minutes for other movie previews, not to mention that the flick was a huge ad for the Apple iPod. The only thing that kept me seated was the sick feeling that I paid $9.25 for the ticket and about $8 for refreshments. This account is NOT an exaggeration.
Perhaps this is a new trend that everyone needs to vote on with their wallets. If people stood together and said that this is intolerable, there would be change. I preached at my friend who thought I was being rediculous, but change is just that easy. Find something else to do for opening weekend and watch the change occur.
Manmatha says, "Right now, searching a scanned handwritten document is very hard to do. Scanned historical documents are basically images, or pictures, and currently can only be searched if someone manually transcribes the documents or creates and index of their contents. This is time consuming and expensive to do. Given the cost, most handwritten documents are never transcribed or indexed," Manmatha says. "But there is an enormous amount of handwritten, historical material.
That's interesting as well. What's also odd is that litigous itself brought up The SCO Group.. I guess their trying to cover all bases in case someone like me spells it wrong.;-)
1) Go into about:config 2) Change app.extensions.version and app.version to 0.10 3) Go into extensions and themes and re-enable everything that was disabled 4) Restart Firefox
So what do we do if quantum computers can
decrypt anything in almost real-time?
Anything would also include translating from other languages, including ones that aren't yet realized, right? If not, then don't worry. If so, then that's some really amazing potential. Think about it..
How is that? What "get out of jail free" cards does MS get?
A lot of Windows machines use pirated keys. Microsoft doesn't have to support these installations with security updates, hence their "get out of jail free" card.

What if Microsoft screws up and bombs out royally on purpose? $565 million now would be a very small price to pay for protection later.

It's better than the older preview
That sure makes this guy look real smart :)
Informative?! Gawd, the parent is an apparent troll. Of course it's 5GB. It was obviously just a typo.

Why not just link to all Google sources on this topic?

What more, litigous bastards brings up The SCO Group! Hmm.. where have we seen this before..
That sure is a lot of work. Here's what I did:
1) Go into about:config
2) Change app.extensions.version and app.version to 0.10
3) Go into extensions and themes and re-enable everything that was disabled
4) Restart Firefox
Voila.. No need to edit any files.
Drill bits made of carbon nanotubes would be an excellent application.
How about having 5.1, DTS and HD capability? That's way useful for such an inexpensive box. IMHO, screw the cool factor.
See a couple of pictures here.
