- They had 15% extra fuel compared to what they estimated they needed. 2600 is 14.3% of 18100

There are pages that: A. Contain the words search, tree, data, structure -- Clearly related to the computer trees B. Contain the words search, tree -- the clustering algorithm figures out they're related to computer trees. C. Contain the words search, tree -- relate to forestry
Now if I search for "search tree", the clustering doesn't help, and the search engine returns results from all three classes of pages.
If I search for "search tree data structure", without clustering, the search can only return pages from class A if all keywords have to be present. If all keywords don't have to be present, it would return pages from A, B and C which gives lots of junk pages.
With clustering, pages from classes A and B would get clustered together, so you can relax the keyword matching and allow pages with some keywords missing to appear in the results as long as they are in the same cluster. This allows you to get pages from class A and class B, which is closer to what you want than either just A or A+B+C
What's interesting is that the notice "Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content." goes away when you look at the cache of Google.com! That's a change from the last time I looked at Google's cache of Google a couple of years or so ago.
It says they're using clustering, so it might help eliminate pages that contain the words you're looking for but aren't relevant to your current query, in addition to including pages that are relevant but don't contain the words. For example,
the word "tree" may either refer to a data structure (binary, B-,red-black etc.) or to the stuff forests are made of. If my query is "search tree", the words search and tree may show up on a page about people searching for some kind of a tree and on pages about search trees. Assuming they're both popular classes of pages, you're going to end up with some mishmash of results from both classes.
Instead, the clustering algorithm might notice (based on other words that appear on the pages, for example) that pages with 'search' and 'tree' in them fall into two classes. That doesn't help if "search tree" is all it has to go by. But now if I add the words "data structure" to the query, it knows which class of pages I'm interested in, because many pages about binary trees contain the words "data structure" whereas almost none about the quest for trees do. Now it can return pages from the right cluester that it knows are relevant, even if they don't contain the word "data structure" in them.
I did. You should too. If we keep going down this road for much longer it'll probably be against the secret law to laugh at the government, so laugh while you can.
It has nothing to do with the opinions of the GP. It wasn't modded up because the grandparent didn't understand the issue, and was thus not insightful, informative, interesting or funny. The issue is not whether ID should be required to fly, but the fact that there is a law requiring it that the government refuses to produce a copy of. The issue is that we're bound to some "secret law"
Funny, because I plug mine in and it Just Works on my Debian box. Between that and the stuff that the other poster mentioned, that's about half of your list that is known to work. You either used hopelessly outdated distributions or are just making things up. You have about the same credibility in my eyes as John Dvorak
No it wouldn't because it depends on the definition of the centimeter, of temperature and would vary depending on the gravitational fields acting on it and so on. X molecules of water, however are X molecules no matter what.
Nobody cares about watchmakers. Having a universal, fundamental definition is important for scientific purposes. Being repeatable, precise and fundamental is far more important than being "easy'. You and I will continue to define the second as "the time the second hand on my wrist watch jumps by one unit" and a kilogram as "the mass that causes my bathroom scale to display 1.00"
The point is to have something that you can define just by counting some phenomenon or natural objects. For example a second is defined as: "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."
and a metre is defines as: The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.
Unfortunately, there hasn't been a good way to count the number of atoms with any kind of precision, so that has precluded a good definition of the kilogram so far. Maybe now the physicists can actually count atoms accurately enough.
One could define it as the mass of some number of H2O molecules, but maybe its easier a measure a quantity of light or to count some larger atoms.
So anytime anyone does anything that "makes sense" is no longer newsworthy? For instance, if congress were to repeal the Patriot act or the DMCA that would not be newsworthy to you?
Well, what you described is simple capitalism. Your argument of "bland corporate selections" is bunk because if that were true your local stores would still be able to fill in a niche and people would still go there even if the prices were higher. For example, there are tons of small bookstores that cater to segments outside the mainstream that Barnes & Noble and Borders cater to.
Blockbuster has a gimmick price though ( $15.99 is introductory, it's actually $25/mn ) Is this for the basic 3 movies at a time plan? I looked carefully at their site and can't find the word "introductory" anwhere. No asterisk no fine print. If they really do start charging you $25 after a while I'd consider it blatant false advertising and file a complaint with the FTC.
His feelings are not justifiable because he needs to realize that WWII ended a long time ago and that today's Japan is an ally of the US and shares many of our values. His attitude is no more justifiable than a black man berating you for slavery (asssuming you're white... replace with some other historical event if not).
Go to preferences, set your "funny" modifier to -6 and then go sit down awkwardly, because sitting down must be really painful with that stick up your ass.

Shut the fuck up!
It doesn't matter. If you're going to use Unix-like tools it makes sense to do it on a Unix-like system. Whether or not ports exist is irrelevant.

the OP was clearly trying to be funny. The mods are the ones that didn't get the joke. The last line ought to be a dead giveaway, really.
