Have them get a bonus (small, probably a percentage of their salary) based on their logging. Measuring metrics are left as an exercise to the submitter.
Have the bonus depend on two parts: their own logging success, and the whole group's. That way, it increases peer pressure to do it right.
Anyone remember the last Wikipedia Presidential election fiasco where both candidate's pages had to be frozen because of vandalism? How then would anyone be able to trust the "facts" about the candidates they would read from Wikipedia?
According to the article, if no one wins within a year, Netflix will award $50,000 to whoever makes the most progress above a 1 percent improvement, every year, until someone wins the grand prize.
I guess we should be on the lookout now for Lenovo, Acer, Motorola and the others in the bottom of the list to hold press conferences touting how "green" their companies are. As if they take Greenpeace seriously. This blog is bullshit.

No, it's more like the need of the movie studios to create constant profits. As publicly traded companies, they're beholden to the shareholders, not the viewers. They only care about the viewers in as much as they're the ones that pay to watch the movie, whether via theaters, DVD, or ratings on TV.
Once a movie is out on theaters a couple of weeks, I would say a good 75% of the people that were meaning to watch that movie have done so. With few exceptions, the movie profits drop sharply after that. Put in another spike when the DVD initially comes out, and that's about it for the profit that a single movie will generate.
So, how do you fix this? Well, make it up in volume: Just keep pumping out movies, always have some movies premiering in theaters and on DVD, and always be riding that "spike" in profits. That's the real reason for the abundance.
Without knowing terms of the settlement, the fact that he got something (hopefully) makes me feel good. Bullying is not a harmless little fun like the mod seems to think, judging from his comment ("suck it up kid"). It affects people years down the road, causes relationship problems that take years of therapy to fix. I myself was never bullied, but I have close friends who did, and it's a serious issue, not something to be mocked.
5 questions, 20 points each. question number 4, I totally blanked on. I knew it. I knew I knew it, but I just couldn't remember what the answer was. I could picture what page it was in... even what paragraph, because I had highlited that specific passage as a possible question... and I blanked.
So I wrote about blanking during the test. My response was exactly what was going on in my head. What i was thinking. That I could remember knowing it, even where it was, but couldn't remember the actual answer. I could remember the paragraph before it, the paragraph after it, and even quoted the concepts in those paragraphs, but couldn't remember the answer to the specific question the professor was asking. I made it lighthearted, and honest.
And I got 10 out of 20 points. Just for sheer enjoyment of reading the answer, she said.
And a Merry Christmas to all! (No PC greetings here)
Those two things don't seem to go together. I'm interested what advice people come up with since video rendering is just about the most processor-intensive thing you can do on a computer.

flocking Flash.
I hate it when sites make it impossible to navigate unless you have flash installed. Anyone have a direct link to bypass the flash?

Just my idea.
Whoa..
You had me until the "facts from Wikipedia" part.

Pure and simple hypocricy if they keep running those "We are more secure than Windows" commercials.

It's the same as "Thriller" for a movie.
It used to mean that, well, a movie "thrilled."
It's become so overused now that it can only be taken to mean a genre of movie, and not as an adjective describing it.

You asking if the commercial is real?
It is. I've seen it in the Dallas-Fort Worth area once.
Where's Doom?
THAT is the game that revolutionized FPS!

Don't look at me. I modded it "Informative."
Because I can't pop in my hard drive into a DVD player?
Why the US has to be different once again I haven't figured out.
Just to piss off arrogant pricks like you. Did it work?
So, it's SpikeTV Lite? When do they premiere Striperella and MXE?

But by using mesh networking, the vision is for children to interact while doing homework, and even share homework tips on a local community scale.
Kids already have a way to interact while doing school work: It's called SCHOOL!
Let's stop waiting and hoping for "Pie in the sky" solutions for problems that already have a low-tech solution.
Let's start using what we have, and stop looking as technology as a panacea to fix the worlds' ills.
...because the story just refers to "the Americans" or "the American delegation" or "US scientist"....
kinda blanket accusation, don't you think?

My phone works. Just about everybody I know has cell phones, and they all work. Maybe you should just switch phones if yours doesn't work.
Point being, if you're going to bitch, bitch about *something* not just "____ doesn't work!!"
well, I'm guessing that, depending on where you are in the world, Rap music might be substituted.
