If you're interested in a cheaper Mac, not necessarily a laptop, have a look at the iMac. G5 processor, just like the PowerMac, starting at around $1200. The correct term I believe is "badass".
So SA will be using Bayes on a list of scores from various heuristics, with one of the heuristics a Bayesian word filter applied to the body text? I wonder if this will end up being more effective than just using a Bayesian word filter on the entire email (headers+body).
Just in case anyone thought "oh, SA includes Bayesian filtering now" - yes and no. Its usage of Bayes may end up being more effective than Graham's, or (more likely, I think) less effective, but it's not equivalent. SA is using Bayes on a set of scores from different heuristics. Graham is talking about using Bayes on a lower level - on text tokens from the message.
You know, five years ago "the Web" meant HTML documents moderated or mediated by HTTP. "The Web" now means the publicly accessible Internet, so I think we're not only going to keep the word "Web services," I think inasmuch as it becomes popular, it's going to change the meaning of the word "Web" away from narrower protocol-driven definition and toward the larger public Internet definition.
You know, there's a perfectly good word for "the publicly accessible Internet": the Net. The Web is a bunch of html pages hyperlinked together. The Net is that plus everything else. It's nice to be able to express oneself with precision, and if "the Web" becomes a blanket phrase for the entire net, we'll lose a little.
Techies generally aren't gasbags. If he's been involved in the nuts and bolts for 20 years, then it's safe to assume he has a clue (and if he won't talk about it, it's safe to assume he has some funding).
This is the same brilliant logic Umberto Eco parodied in 'Foucault's Pendulum'. "He must know the secret. And if he doesn't reveal the secret, that means he's really deep into it."
Does Corbis own the rights to all reproductions of the art, or only the specific reproductions they have? If I take a picture of [artwork Corbis has], can I post it/sell it/put it in a book, or do I have to pay them?
I see you've mastered the First Law of Technical Papers: if you're writing about something fairly math-heavy, your equations sure as hell better make pretty pictures.
Of course I'm serious. If you don't think that's true, how can you in good conscience support them? Or are you one of those people who thinks pirating is your god given right?
You can dump crap data onto freenet all you want, but the data will never propigate itself as long as noone is requesting it. If you're trying to DOS by adding random data, why not flood the system with requests for that data? Distributed, of course, so it gets copied to a bunch of different nodes. Freenet doesn't seem to be any more vulnerable than the web, but that's not saying much at this point.
Requiring people to have java on their machines is an uncessary burden. Before they can even install your software, they have to go out and find yet another piece of software. Or you have to bundle it with your program, which increases your distribution costs and makes you dependent on a third party product that you can't exercise much control over.
Hmm...sounds like something I've heard of before...oh yeah: MFC. You're right, no one should need anything more then good ol' ANSI C and the Windows API. Heh.

Yeah, I'm sure inexpensive mass production of this stuff is right around the corner.

you're so full of shit. she's a great actress. have you seen eternal sunshine?
The lists he's talking about are (I'm guessing) actually S-expressions, which can express anything XML can.
You can't outsource core decision-making.
I stand corrected.

Yeah. Looks like he's been around for a while, too.
dude, it's not an album. stop pretending you're not a geek.

He didn't say anything about supporting them.

I like driving. I take long car trips just for the sheer pleasure of it. If this freedom is taken away from me I will be very very unhappy.
Can you say "single point of failure"? Good! I knew you could!
Rocks?
Yeah. Hell, I liked (parts of) the movie. The Harkonnens should be just that decadent and twisted.
Ok. But if the HGP is going to make the same information (obtained separately) freely available, what's Celera's value add?
Anybody have any idea? I think it hasn't been officially announced yet, but is there a consensus on when it's likely to be?
The interesting part is that out of 2017 comments, no comment got moderated to higher than 3.
ka-CHING.
Much harder than generating lots of useless mental activity.
