The BBC made a brilliant documentary that once and for all should shut up anybody that keeps talking about the marvelous effect of homeopathy. The Ennis woman from the article also appeared in that program, presenting her claims in some scientific way. The BBC program then arranged and monitored a study performed by a bunch of high-profile scientists that concluded it was utterly BS - and the only way Ennis could have reached her interesting results were due to either manipulation or plainly bad laboratory work.
Thanks, _really_ useful! I just needed a few small additional tweaks to make it perfect in my configuration: The real-name part of the from-field should IMHO not be taken from the message, as this might often have been omitted, leaving the empty string in the reply. This may be fixed by adding the following in your.muttrc:
set realname="Ulrik Gammelby"
set reverse_realname=no
3. This article is pushing 2500 posts/replies. I have never seen an article with this much activity. Does anyone else remember one with this much activity and what the subject matter was.
Have a look at Hall of Fame (find it under Stories in the menu).
How is the semantic web going to handle abuse like
pr0nn g_annotation>...?
I mean, anybody can put up bogus annotations to promote their filthy
business, like we saw it in the days before google and pagerank.
Ashamed?? Covering up?? What do you mean? To spell it out: I assume
Moore made the notice to stress that it is not only the French people
that are Bush-sceptic; it is a common opinion in the international
society - and interestingly enough also among some prominent US movie
stars.
Why did he win? Europeans hate America politics at the
moment so they loved this idea of Bush bashing.
Yes, you are right that lots of Europeans (including me) hate American right wing
politics, especially as lead by that Bush thing. But I don't think you
are right that winning the Palme d'Or was a European political
statement. Actually Moore himself expected such remarks and gave the
following comment up front at a press conference after he won the
prize, according to NY times:
"I fully expect the Fox News Channel and other right-wing
media to portray this as an award from the French," Mr. Moore
said. Only one juror, the actress Emanuelle Beart, is a French
citizen.
Actually a really interesting idea for re-spamming traditional spammers! After having had spamassassin flag a message as spam, make some script scan it for toll free numbers - if found, it invokes your favorite scriptable command line VoIP client (though I doubt such a wonder exists).
In the talk mentioned in a previous posting, mr. Hölzle also talked about disk failures: They have so many disks (obviously of low quality, according to you) and read so much data, that they cannot rely on standard CRC-32 checks. They use their own checksumming in a higher layer to circumvent the fact that CRC-32 gives false positive results in one out of some-large-number.
I once attended a talk by google fellow Urs Hölzle on the google
architecture, and he mentioned how they handle the cooling issue: They
do not depend on each individual unit to be cooled separately -
instead they have an enormous flow of air between the racks (sitting
back to back), generated by some large fan in the roof.
Well, it's pretty much the same thing. [...] Interpreters don't have brute strength speed that assembler, or even earlier C++ had. Sure, they're quick for instantiating a zillion objects from an already loaded class, but are awful for anything doing heavy calculations. For heavy math/memory moving you'll need tighter native compiled code libraries, which I'm already finding to be a headache
No decent VMs are solely interpreter based - modern JITs perform comparable to C/C++ also under the conditions you mention. E.g., check out this C vs. Java comparison.
While not being a physician myself, I still think the usefulness sounds a bit exaggerated:
"In two minutes you have a complete examination of the patient, you send this via the computer to the doctor, who is now able to make a complete assessment of the patient's status."
Especially compared to the data the device actually collects:
A crew member with proper training can now take basic heart, blood, temperature and sugar level readings.
Not much info to provide a complete examination, isn't it?
If you can pop your mail, you can always telnet to port 110 as described. It is just a manual pop session (see also http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1939.html).
