Seeing how PPAPI is a superset of NPAPI, and I don't need anything more out of Flash than it provides today, it stands to reason somebody is already working on an NSAPI plugin that implements PPAPI and fudges defaults for the difference in their feature sets.
I've spoken with the founder of ReCAPTCHA about this when he came to campus for a talk several years ago. It's both the expected end game and seen as a victory ("we forced OCR to become usable with market pressures").
Don't worry, they have other puzzles in the queue that need machine comprehension models.
Does this qualify as meat during Lent? Or should I just stick to my Filet-O-Fishes (or is it Filets-O-Fish) for Friday?
They ret-con these things, but if it's 'flesh' in the religious eyes then you can't eat it on Fridays.
Except for beaver, because it spends most of its time in the water (no, really). So, have your Fillets 'O Beaver and be content in your righteousness. Or, read 1 Timothy 4 - your call.
Or you could write a browser plugin or other tool that is designed to strip that attribute.
There's a Firefox extension called "Always Save Password" aka password.xpi. Mozilla apparently doesn't want to host this extension because they don't get usable strong security like Google is talking about (I assume they expect everybody to create difficult passwords and 'just' remember them).
There's also a bookmarklet out there to manually override each page you visit.
Why would I have any problem working for a company that forced me to join a social network?
You might not, but some people have privacy hang-ups about them.
Especially since this sounds like a prospective employer, I'd tell the submitter to get a grip. Don't go work for a company that has fundamentally different morals or ethics than you do - that's going to end in disaster.
I wouldn't join with the same profile that I used personally.
The seems to be a current trend, but employers are going to have to get a grip too, Their employees use drugs, have sex, and shoot guns on the weekend (ideally not all at the same time). To pretend otherwise is fantasy and the stock of employees who will pretend that way is going to dry up over time.
Associate with people who like you for who you are and not who you pretend to be and your life will become more pleasant.
That's a bit of a complicated way to re-value the currency. Often countries will just divide by 10. Declare a date when everybody re-values and invalidate old currency, except for deposit at the discount rate.
We could easily survive a 10x reduction now. A soda costs 15 cents, minimum wage is 75 cents, and a good car goes for $2500. Average salary is $4400.
Maybe when they switch to polymer bills would be a good time.
But some of the strong atheists point to lots of whacked stuff people have done and continue to do in the name of religion, and that whacked stuff sometimes hurts others.
One can be a believer and still acknowledge this. Anyway, it's a favorite book topic for atheists, so I won't try to summarize those here.
Anyway, they contend that without religion, fewer people would do whacked stuff. Even people following their religions would be a good start.
The "location" isn't really identified since these devices have no way of knowing their location, so what's being described here isn't actually possible.
Right, because nobody sends in those "Product Registration Cards" or does online registration when installing the print drivers.
It may be that mountain lion is so dumbed down that it is no longer useful for people who want to create actual product and do actual work. In that case we will be left with no mainstream OS, and I suppose I will just have to find some other *nix.
Yeah, after iPhone succeeded (v2), I switched from OSX to Fedora (KDE). It's not as smooth, but it is a bit more powerful. What I'm confident about, though, is that the Mac will be discontinued for a Desktop Edition of iOS (I know the guts are the same, but the user layer and workflows/metaphors) and I don't want to die the slow death and then be left with nothing.
I looked at Apple's page on 10.8 and it looks great for my mother to use, but even less like something I'd want to use. The progress from OSX to iOS has gone one step further - nothing to make me change my conclusion.
The Mac had it's run - it's nice of Apple to give the users a soft landing rather than just dropping it and I understand why they want to go proprietary and profitable.
Or just to as the world's oldest person ever did, smoke for 96 years.... I doubt what shape you were in 50+ years ago matters for whether you become 100, 110 or 120
What you put into your body now matters - you're forming advanced glycation endproducts now that will be with you forever (or until drugs are commercially available to break them up). So, lay off the unbound fructose (fruit is OK because it has the right kind of fibers).
Sometimes, I'll have an inspired idea for a revolutionary product. At that point, I think about how to market it. Then I figure out what the most awesome domain name would be for that product. I then look it up in WHOIS, and I find it's already registered. I go to the website, and find it's my awesome idea, already for sale.
At this point, I usually just buy one if I need it, happy I don't have to do the R&D.
Moral of the story : ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is 98% of everything.
add the filtering to GPS receivers so they can reject that billions of times stronger Lightsquared signal in the adjacent band, there would be no GPS in your phone
So, it's not possible to filter out signals that narrowly? Or does some of the 'adjacent' RF inevitably leak over into the GPS bands?
Yes, we're doing that, but in the meantime, don't you think it's a good idea to work to prevent the Government from infringing on our rights, including our right to freely navigate the public airspace?
However, there is one thing that female screeners don't do and that's "act at the request of male screeners."
The gender of the person at the machine is insignificant. The screener at the machine is told by the [men] in the booth to send the cute girl on back through.
Perhaps the men in the booth think they can get away with it more easily when a female screener is on duty.

ReCAPTCHA needs to be retired.
Perhaps.
OCR is getting too good.

yeah, if there's one thing this country really needs; its higher speed internet for the fundies in kansas.
What this country really needs is people whose world-view isn't completely a creation of the corporate news media.

The last time I tried mplayer it ate 100% cpu on a file that even Windows Media Player happily played without blinking.
So, you failed to offload decode from your CPU. Try harder next time?
perfectly normal people who chose to focus on academics to the exclusion of social skills
Nobody is responsible for their personal choices, especially if it's a long-term choice.

WTF is this fetish with adding more glare to a laptop screen?
Ask the people at Staples who prefer them. More contrast is apparently all people care about.

In 2003/2004 in Georgia, USA....I was paying $.89/gallon for my gas.
And that's about what I paid in NJ in 1994 - I seem to recall .81 or .83 at some point. About a buck five in 2004 dollars.
It works out pretty good for folks with lots of fixed-interest-rate debt.
Only if their earnings keep pace with the inflation.
My faith doesn't affect you at all
You, personally - probably not.

The flip side is telling everyone they're in danger and then be charged with inciting a panic!
Or being honest - "our models do not currently show a risk of significant earthquake, but our models may be wrong. You should always be prepared."
Sounds to me like they were dumbing it down for people who find science "too hard".

Interesting to see Apple's moving to an annual release cycle.
Ah, so hardware drivers will only ever work on the last version of OSX...

I'm just as fat as I ever was
Try cutting out sugars for 3 weeks (other than fresh fruits).
It caused me to drop 60 lbs. If you're like me it will be an arduous 3 weeks, but it's only 3 weeks out of your life, and you may never go back.
I've had people tell me, "I could never do that ... but I'm totally not addicted."

stop flying. There are other ways to get around.
