I'm guessing bloom fields are related to bloom filters ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter ), a fast way to test of an item belongs to a set based on bit-wise ORing keys into a large bitfield.
Last year when I started my own iPhone wiki reader the dump was 3.5 gigs compressed, and about 16gigs of uncompressed xml. A week ago when I pulled a new version to test out my New And Improved version, the dump was 5.2 gigs, and while I haven't the space or need to fully decompress it, it seems to clock in at 23.5 gigs. I can't speak for this device, but for my (ad-hoc only) app, I strip out most of the xml and build an index, which has a net effect of shrinking the compressed size dump by 5-15%, depending on the level of compression used, and so the cost to read out individual articles.
As a developer of one of those offline iphone apps, images get left out due to their sheer size. The 4gigs that are referred to only includes the text - the current dump is closer to 6, even when zipped up, with xml wrapping removed. LaTeX would be a good idea though, as it could be generated as needed.../me adds that to his tracker.
External links are easy though, the device makes it simple to send the user to safari to browse the real web. I have my own version because I have the iPod Touch, and often roam well outside the range of wireless networks.
There is a hole in that - assuming that time travel is possible in any universe, it is possible in effectively all universes. After all, people from that one universe can go 'back' and form new pasts where time travel is clearly also possible. Additionally, if the act of traveling back in time creates a new past (branches an existing one), then most pasts should be the result of someone traveling back in time.
Following from that, suppose that only two people use distinct time machines in each and every universe where time travel is possible. It should be clear that the vast majority of universes now are the direct result of time travel. So unless one is incredibly unlucky to live in the handful of exceptions, time travel doesnt work like that.
My understanding is that the accepted idea oh how any such time travel could work is that once built, a hypothetical machine can only travel back as far as its own creation. Meaning that for each 'family' of created universes, none get time travel until the 'present' when the first one invents it.
One might argue that the iPod touch and iPhone are their play in the netbook game...

Easy there - the lack of tolerance is directed toward the set of believers in creationism, not the superset of believers of Christianity. As far as I can tell, your comment is the first one to bring up Christianity - all the others in this string have been about the need/right/dumb idea of giving creationists equal say on the site...
A great many colleges and universities do allow general public access to their lectures. These mostly depend on the professor, as in the case of Professor Gerald Cizaldo at the College of St. Scholastica.

Sorry, but linking a blog with a label like "most spectacular image of the month" actually had me get my hopes up for a moment. Two notes about this image:
a.) The 'image' is actually a blog. And not just any blog... we've heard from this guy before, but we don't seem to learn.
b.) What? I think we need to look up spectacular again. "Sensational or thrilling" this is not...
The way this reads, disk0s1 is the NVRAM, so changing hard drives wont do anything. You need a way to access that bit of flash and hit it again with the image.
And since that is almost certainly motherboard mounted,not possible...
While you make good points, your lack of understanding of the bill comes from another detail: yes,everything you see can be classified as analog, it could also be argued that this only works to a point - then you have discrete atomic and subatomic particels, so back to digital.
But nevermind that. Digital _data_ is that which can be precisely and discretely evaluated to be a certain thing. There is no question when you read the letter 'h' what it is, just as when you record an MP3 (discrete bits, all either 1's or 0's), it can be copied with no loss to the original. Analog music (and video for that matter) is recorded in a manner where (for all intents and purposes*) the exact state of parts of the recording cannot be detremined.
Digital TV is a signal when can be exactly reproduced without loss of information. Analog TV can't. A speech given cannot be excatly reproduced, but the words and letters involved can be copied time and again.
For the purposes of printed text, as far as the information itself is concerned, a 'digital' copier can do the same job as an 'analog' copier, so long as all the words are still there, they both have made a 'digital' copy of the information. If this bill were directed at text (which it isnt), then paper would need to have some kind of marker for who wrote it and where the original came from.
*okay, at the molecular level, yes, it can. Be we cant play with pieces that small on a large scale yet.
It feels a little drastic, but this worked for me - less than a month after getting this dual 1.8, i was getting daily crashes like what you describe.
Called Apple, they said to delete the entire preferences folder in my Library. Easiest way to do this is drag it out of the library and restart. Either something has gone really broke in there, or you have a hardware issue, as someone else suggested.
Wow i suck, forgot to get to the point - Even when you have all this music then, it can all be run through a program to strip off the drm, or simply burned to cd. Having tried both, yes the cd thing is annoying, but the software is not that hard to figure out. Apple has always put no more than a cursory attempt on stopping potential illegal activities - songs can be gotten off the iPod fairly easily, music can still be downloaded from other users iTunes shares, and iTunes has a built in system to remove the DRM, in addition to the unsanctioned programs out there.
you'd rather Apple be able to lock your purchased AAC files to be only playable on iPods because they haven't engaged in overtly monopolistic behavior? What if you want to switch to another player? Or your iPod breaks? How fair is it that you have to buy another iPod?
In the event you buy another iPod, either you still have the music on your computer, or you just download it again. For free. As long as you have a computer authorized to play music from your account, you can download all purchased songs (its the 'check for purchased music' option in the advanced menu).
I have done this (and continue to) with a now-year old 2nd gen 20 gig iPod. I've even dropped it from 5 feet onto asphalt, and all it needed was a reboot to get going again.
Then again, heading across the atlantic it crashed once, and wouldn't turn back on until it was plugged into a power source....
Indeed - first article in the supercomputing section. Is anyone else kind of suprised that it has taken this long?

They are not subtracting - they are dividing. It it was a simple subtraction, that really wouldn't mean anything at this scale, dividing means that they can skip whole chunks of whatever algorithm that was used before, the new one is faster by 2^11.
It looks like this is the first entry here on Mars (topic #226). Are our editers expecting many new articles now, or have they just put off naming a new topic until we already had put a ton in the Space section?
I don't feel like using DRM cracks for this use is at all like P2P, since it's just streaming the song and not transferring it
Actually, it is transfering it, just slowly. It is possible to use tcp dump or ethereal to catch every packet sent and make a song file from them - this is what the old versions of getTunes used to do. It is also possible to pretend to be itunes and download the songs that way, as the current versions of getTunes and myTunes do. iTunes acts like a http server, but one which requires very specific requests to get the music properly - some old versions of getTunes actually used either curl or wget to get the music!

I believe the AC was referring in fact to license plates. Printed on a reflective surface, so they are easy to pick up on camera.

If bandwidth is the problem, then why throttle or ban specific types of traffic instead of just throttling the entire connection?

It doesn't really matter how long a new idea can be reproduced in to tell how good an idea.
Intelligence is when you look at another idea and think, "Hmm, I could have done that."
Genius is when you think, "Wow, I never would have thought of that."
