They, of course, they mean anything critical of U.S. government or U.S. policy. By insurgent, they mean Democrat... It doesn't matter anyway, Democrats will win. Democrats will destroy Republicans this fall. We won. And we will keep winning. So shut your racist face.
The Internet has made innovation much easier. You just have to be willing to do the appropriate reading. There is clearly alot of innovation going on behind the scenes by ordinary people but no one knows about most of it and it makes it seem as if innovation is in decline. If technical journals made it easier for ordinary people to get published it might alleviate the situation somewhat.
Languages such as PHP will always be more popular than languages such as Ruby, not because the former is any easier to learn or better designed, but because almost purely becuase PHP is much more like a natural human language, with all its flaws, than a language like Ruby. Most of the time you are scripting, you are hacking strings together and it doesn't really help if they are objects are not. I imagine that given the choice between a highly structured language and one that is at its core, hacked together, people will always choose the latter. It wasn't until the Europeans discovered Sanskrit in the 18th century until European languages had any formal grammar. If I were going to pick a "Highlander" for scripting languages, it would be JavaScript because it's highly structured and also very functional.
Even if you work with a very narrow scope and manage to keep your work well hidden from the public, there's usually going to be some prior art if your work has any value at all. Good innovation, however, is driven by the limitations of current technology. As long as your work builds upon what's been done in a meaningful way, your ideas should be patentable. Usually, this happens in corporations and academia because they're the only ones that have been working in the field long enough to know the limits of current technology, but it can definitely happen with small time innovators as well if they read alot technical literature on a particular subject.
Yeah I'm sure that Firefox performance will pick up once recursion has been optimized for. It's just a shame to see so many fanboy mods upset their favorite browser didn't do as well as Chrome on a real world benchmark.
Chrome is currently faster than Firefox at most things even when Tracemonkey is enabled. I mostly work with browser based math/finance apps, and one of the most intensive things that can be done is a numerical integral. No other browser even comes close to Chrome in terms of speed. The only drawback is that it isn't cross platform yet. From what I hear, Tracemonkey is working really well on different processors so it will be an interesting match up. Try pasting this code into JavaScript Shell from Chrome and Firefox for a comparison.
Math.precision=function (x, eps) { var dec = Math.pow(10, Math.floor(Math.log(1 / eps) * Math.LOG10E)); return Math.round(dec * x) / dec; };function asr(f, a, b, eps) { var c = (a + b) / 2; var h = (b - a) / 6; var fa = f(a); var fb = f(b); var fc = f(c); return Math.precision(recursive_asr(f, a, b, c, eps, h * (fa + fb + 4 * fc), fa, fb, fc), eps); };function recursive_asr(f, a, b, c, eps, sum, fa, fb, fc) { var cl = (a + c) / 2; var cr = (c + b) / 2; var h = (c - a) / 6; var fcr = f(cr); var fcl = f(cl); var left = (fa + 4 * fcl + fc) * h; var right = (fc + 4 * fcr + fb) * h; if (Math.abs(left + right - sum) <= 15 * eps) { return left + right + (left + right - sum) / 15; } return recursive_asr(f, a, c, cl, eps / 2, left, fa, fc, fcl) + recursive_asr(f, c, b, cr, eps / 2, right, fc, fb, fcr); };asr(Math.sin,0,100,1e-15);
I hope they aren't restricting it to just newspapers. I've saved tons of interesting web articles from official news websites that have mysteriously disappeared over the years. They're not even in the Google cache. Hopefully, most of them will be in the Google News archive.
Don't buy into the propaganda about Iran getting nuclear weapons. It's just part of the hype for the Iran war. Iran abandoned its weaponization program several years ago and is member of the NPT. Furthermore, nuclear weapons are forbidden on religious grounds. India, like Isreal, is not a member of the NPT has made nuclear weapons and tested them without provocation. You can expect Iran to produce significant amounts nuclear power in the near future, but they will not produce any nuclear weapons. The U.S. is in fact rewarding nonparticipation in international institutions in some countries and punishing compliance in others simply because they represents they threat to its control over the world order.
His future on U.S. tech policy is likely to be different from his past record. At this point, he recognizes the libertarian stripes on the U.S. tech tiger.
Some people are are her making fun of her tech record, but this undermines the seriousness of the issue. Her lack of knowledge on technology issues is cause for a major concern because we don't want someone who thinks like Ted Stevens ruling over the U.S. Senate.
While we may not agree with all of the legislation Joe Biden has been a part of, at least he is well informed and knows what he is doing. Less regulation is not necessarily always a good thing. Look at what deregulation did to the banking sector. The last thing we want is Republicans to do to the technology sector what they did to the banking sector.

Your memories go away when you die, but you will always have experienced them. What you have experienced over the course of your life is referred to qualia. The color red is an example. Even when you die, the you will have experienced the color red. Certain philosophers have argued that they don't actually exist based on the fact that our experiences and memories correlate with neural activity. Nothing in this article indicates that this.
To summarize the article, researchers have determined that the neurons which are fired when an event is experienced are the same neurons that are fired when it is remembered. That's all it says. It does not say that our experiences and memories don't independently exist, just that they correlate with neural activity.
Picasa is not creepy at all. It's one of the few products from Google pack that I use on a regular basis. It's nice being able to see all the pictures on your computer from one place. It occasionally sometimes takes a really long time to start up though.
The real reason they probably went with WebKit as opposed to Gecko is because Gecko doesn't work very well on mobile platforms. Google probably wants to compete with Apple's iPhone and it makes sense to have integrated platform for web applications that works exectly the same mobile phones as on desktop PCs.
Essentially you're a member whether you like it or not and if you don't want to pay for the carpet bombing civilians an entirely different set of rules are applied to you unless you can find another club that will stand up to the ruling club.
Democracy doesn't make things okay. Hitler came to power through entirely democratic means. And my point is not that government doesn't provide any services, but rather that most of it's resources are spent sheerly on maintaining its hold on power.

Listen fucker, we are going kill you this fall.

That's a laugh. America has one of the worst human rights records of any country.

It's like always close to an order of magnitude off.
It only archives about 10 percent of smaller sites like college news portals. The Google news archive is usually better, but it's still hit or miss.

As far as speed goes, it's not even close. Chrome has JavaScript VM that leaves IE in the dust.
Webkit actually works great on mobile platforms. Android and the iPhone both use it.

Unfortunately, there's no way to leave the club. As I stated, it effectively exerts its hegemonic policies over much of the world
