The problem with SWT is that I must somehow distribute it with my application. Is there an easy way to do it, while keeping my application cross platform (like a regular Java application)?
Slightly off-topic, but I just thought about it: there are some commercial sites (like answers.com) that mirror Wikipedia content. Shouldn't we (when we don't want to write new content) view/link-to the articles in those sites, to reduce Wikimedia's costs? Do answers.com pay Wikimedia for the content?
That's easy. Since the World Wide Web is not in places 2-25, it must be ranked number 1. They might as well call it "The Internet", even though the Internet includes e-mail (#5).
What I'd like to see Google do, is incorporate Google Suggest into Google Desktop Search, adding the search-as-you-type functionality one of its competitors already has.
The hard part will be to make sure it does not kill the user's computer - as someone already pointed out, this can place a pretty heavy load on the server, in Desktop's case, the desktop computer itself.
In this 1949 book, the "Newspeak" language is designed exactly for that purpose. For example, they don't have a word "bad" - only "not good" (which is supposed to be the opposite of bad, but isn't). They use language control for thought control.
In The Jerusalem College of Engineering, where I go, all computers are PCs that dual-boot to Windows 2000 and RedHat Linux. Both systems include all development tools needed.

A Turing Machine can, theoretically, do all calculations a computer can, and it's entirely mechanical. One can build such a machine with nuts and bolts or whatever, and solve every solvable problem.
Nothing new, but I thought slashdot readers should know that. The first public beta should be out any day now, and the release will probably come in a few months.
This one also sounds like a conspiracy thoery, but... What if the real winners of the contest are the works at Google-Labs? I bet Google hired the most creative programmers, and bought their works.

Gmail also recycles accounts, but only after 9 months of not using them. See http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answ er=6563
I guess soon Google will start providing feeds for Google News. Finally, they will have a place for those ads they left out.
Spaghetti Code is worse than spaghetti sauce.

How about large numbers you wanted factored into primes?
Something tells me they're working on it. Why waste their super-cluster-grid?

What, G-oatse?
Google cannot tell me which tools are good. An experienced user, can.
Do you know of any good, free (beer would be enough) benchmarking tool?
Something tells me that the next big virus, written by a bored /. geek, will do some of the things you mentioned.
I hope I'm wrong, though.

Wasn't the exploit for PNG files effective on things (i.e., mozilla) other than Microsoft?
I wonder if EPIC has anything to do with this scary-yet-insightful video-flash movie.

- Noam.
Mozilla has its own implementation of XmlHttpRequest.
Could it be that Mozilla's plans to put on a large ad in the NY Times has caused the paper to be more open-source friendly/aware?
I remember the days when it was just a pretty simple image manipulation program, a Photoshop wannabe that looked more like PaintBrush...

Still, nobody actually built such a thing, AFAIK.

More specifically, a FIFO queue...
But what if they have (MS-) Windows ? Isn't that their fault?
Noam.
