Since they didn't compare it to anything else, maybe their method just had low sensitivity? For example, I could analyze linux, find one bug and then be done. Linux has only one bug. Obviously my method is flawed. It only works appropriately when you actually apply the same protocol on a control, that is actual commercial buggy code. And to make the comparisons they want to windows, they should actually run windows code. (For all I know they could have done this, but the article seems to focus a lot on a comparison between linux and windows, and they didn't even test windows.)
ACS isn't suing Google over their service, it's over the use of the word "Scholar".
I am aware of that, but I was (hopefully) providing some insight into why this field can be so quick to sue. Google is stepping into a hornets nest and this just the beginning.
Scientific citations are big business with players deep in the trenches. Thomsonisi sells the citation indexes, I believe (and endnote). ACS controls vast citation and manuscript papers. I hope Google is able to open up the field a bit, but it is going to take some court battles, I'm sure.
It is possible, of course, that they will only release a subset of the music (like radio). Much like some bands distribute songs (usually low quality) from their websites. Creating a P2P service that allows trading of these so-called free songs that introduce people to music might be what they are thinking, although that is speculation.
Van der Waals forces do occur in CO2, although I'm not sure how they differ from water (although they are probably similar in magnitude). Hydrogen bonds are probably the basis for the difference not VDW forces.
Linux is missing an opportunity. Instead of writing software that insists that passwords be uncrackable, they should be innovating new technologies that make machines insensitive to dictionary attacks, or new technologies like the one described here that does away with the need for having passwords everywhere. Hmm, maybe Bill has some innovation in him afterall....
I agree, I got a cube on ebay and got zelda and metroid prime with it. I loved the new zelda (good story awesome graphics) and thought metroid prime had awesome graphics, but found the FPS interface to be tedious and the game to be generally boring (very little story/just more levels/creatures). (Sorry) I'm surprised it has such a following. If they had given it a zelda interface, I would have enjoyed the game much more. (In the game's defense, I have a hard time with a lot of FPS games. Loved the Doom and quake series, found most after that to be challenging with a mouse and tedious on a console).
Is there a good resource for hardware/software RAID support on linux? Tech support is always a challenge and we have a number of 3ware 8way and 12way powered by 250gb drives. We often have lots of mysterious drops on the array that require reboots or even rebuilding the array. Royal pain in the ass.
When the capsule - which blazed into the atmosphere at 11 kilometres per second - decelerated by three times the force of gravity (3 Gs), the sensors should have made contact with a spring."It's like smashing on the brakes in your car - you feel yourself being pushed forward," says NASA spokesperson Don Savage.
Doesn't that mean that the parachutes should have deployed on take off? heh....
+5 Informative? This is total FUD, no proof, just a statement that everybody probably suspects already. (I don't necessarily disagree with the statement, more that the mods found it informative. It is jus as bad as the spin you hear on Fox or CNN every night.)
For an open source site, Y=you really should have references UCSC's annotated genome browser and tools and the genome browser. Incredible array of annotations, and completely in the public domain.
While I agree that desktop machines are far less expensive if you by commodity pc components, I take issue with Mac's being twice the price. This is particularly true in the laptop world. A quick search on dell suggests that an Inspiron 8600 with a 15.4" screen costs $2,500+ (2 GHz, 80gb, 512MB, high end video, DVD R/W, 802.11g, etc). A search on the apple store tells me that I can get a 17" Powerbook (bigger screen) for $2,500 with a discount or $2,799 full price (1.8GHz, 512MG, 80gb, DVD R/W, 802.11g, etc). Basically the same price, and the 17" screen is huge. The 15.4" version (costs 2,300 w/discount and 2,500 regular price).
I realize that these are apples and oranges (no pun intended) and Dell isn't the cheapest, but still, you will be very happy with a 15.4" powerbook.

BUT, a movie quote does come to mind:
some dude: I could beat you in a fair fight.
capt sparrow: That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?

Hmm, I think doctors/physicians are probably pretty good (and appropriate) at estimating body counts.
What scares me, is that if we are this wrong about things we can see, how wrong are we about things we can't? (Like primordial earth)
Did anyone else read that as "analenema"?
Why bother? Someone will just photoshop it anyway. (BTW - the pics are really cool, but, they too, look photoshopped.)
No offense but, I think that programming in Perl is a sloppy lazy programming habit.

You are correct, I meant the annotation database.

Sorry, desktops maybe but not with laptops.
See subject...
Hmm, where many of those support class for Office X or Mac/MS office 2004?
