Has the 2014 competition, including test images and validation images.
Browsing the images, and the 200 or so categories, "artichoke", "strainer", "bowl", "person", "wine bottle"... the challenge is a bit strange: A drawing of a person isn't a "person" category, but a bottle of boyle's cream soda is a "wine bottle".
And why is "artichoke" something we need to identify in photographs?

Not legal advice, but why not get your roomie to sign a piece of paper, an agreement between you and him that you have no knowledge of his Internet activities and he is soley responsible for them, and he is paying you because you are the account holder for billing purposes but in all other ways it is his responsibility for his access?
Just imagine if he was looking a kiddie porn... Having that agreement in place ahead of time would really be a Good Thing.
It's probably safe to assume they would correlate frequency of metaphor use and the specific metaphors used to identify individuals as a source of a given message. I think they did something similar with the unibomber, odd phrases helped to show the messages were from a single source.
All of the structures are related. Graphene is the one atom thick sheet stuff. Nanotubes are the sheets rolled into... tubes. Buckyballs are the sheets in a ball. Each has its its purpose: Graphene is a great conductor and really strong in two dimensions, Nanotubes are also great transmitters of heat and electricity in one dimension, and buckyballs can in theory be used for medicines, abrasives, or little tiny bearings. http://cnx.org/content/m14355/latest/
all of this is relatively new, but having a way to make graphene inexpensively and reliably in any lab (the whole scotch tape pencil method) allows researches all over the world to make some and study it. As for being a "fad", as TFA states, the scientists aren't promising the next big thing, but are tempering excitement with caution.
Um... you don't think he was hiding out by himself with, ya know, no documents, records, phones, or other intel that we might have snagged?
That and the messages "you can't hide anywhere" and "we will come and get you, alone, and without the help of the country you are in" are pretty powerful.
Pretty big gamble by members of the anonymous crowd: if the giant massive preplanned SHOW OUR STRENGTH RAR! sit-in ends up being 12 fat guys, 3 furries, and a couple of abhumans that finally left their parent's basement, the anon-movement will take a giant credibility hit. Kinda like when the brought down Amazon.com for a couple minutes... really showed 'em then!
And think about post calculus math: Linear algebra... gotta know what those array things are and how to deal with them; probability and statistics are also very useful in programming. Sure, a code warrior may not need to know differential equations or vector calc to design a UI, but advanced code design and the "science" part require math. Oh, and the secret of calculus? Calc 1: figuring out the instantaneous rate of change of an equation and the minimums and maximums. Calc 2: the area under a curve. Calc 3: the volume of a curved object.
You'll soon be able to buy astronaut ice cream with a chinese space program theme. That and watch them go to the moon, then mars, all while NASA rocket scientists are driving cabs and eating government cheese.
Sure, just assume that 90% of the lawsuits brought by patent trolls lose at final judgment. You can't work backwards from that factoid and conclude that 90% of software patents are crap.
After several levels of filtering, only then is a case decided. And at each level, if the software patent i strong, the process ends.
Demand letter gets reviewed. Strong patent? Settle.
Initial lawsuit gets filed. Semi-strong patent? Cost-risk analyze defending the lawsuit and license if the numbers don't work.
Lawsuit continues. Weak but possible bad judgment? Settle.
So only the patents that the defendant looks at and decides that the risk of losing the suit, cost of the suit, _and_ the strength of the asserted patent are such that it makes sense to risk a final judgment are these 90% losses representative. Hardly a basis for a universal declaration that all software patents are weak and unenforceable.
Sure, folks may have a beef with the concept of software patents, but that is a separate issue.
I seem to recall various mass market paperback sci-fi novels from the mid 60s to 70s having mail-away cards for book clubs, ads for other books in the series, and the occasional cigarette or booze ad. So the precedent is there.
Vampires, Pirates and Aliens is apparently an ABC (Australia) cartoon based on a series of books. Dunno how many *boom* Headshots! there are per episode, but probably not that many.

The claim from TFMSNBCA is "The pulsar discovery, announced today on the journal Science's website, marks the first time Einstein @ Home has had a hit.". And later " The first and most famous BOINC project is SETI @ Home, which has been sifting through Arecibo data for the past 11 years, looking for signals from alien civilizations. (None has been found yet, even though more than 5 million users have been looking.)".
No idea how you combine those two into "The claim that this is the first discovery to be made through distributed computing".
Just keep a list of passwords and such in your safe/safety deposit box, along with account numbers and all that other info. Sure, your folks are going to be able to look at your pr0n collection after yer dead, but at least they will have a list of your bank accounts and such. Otherwise that computer will just end up on ebay as is, right?
No, you bookmark the pizza place, have your username/password/credit card in the browser, and your order saved as a quick order. Three clicks and pizza is on the way. Speed dial... ha!

Right, but watch out for Amazon vine http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/06/29/2119224/Could-Amazon-Reviews-Be-Corrupt
that would have made sense if the symbol for pi actually had stayed in the comment. oh well
I, too, want some numbers.
how bout ? maybe e if you're feeling frisky.

Yes, making graphene with pencils and scotch tape would have gotten you a nobel prize if you woulda thought of it a few years ago. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2010/press.html
Graphene ribbons respond very well to changes in voltage making them very nifty (possibly) for transistors. Great flow when you want it in a controllable way. The main issue being that they don't have a very good "off" state. So you get a nice curve of voltage v. current flowing across them, except for the middle part around 0V. That's what everyone is working on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene#Graphene_transistors http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/graphene-transistors-cant-be-turned-off-wont-replace-silicon-in-processors-20110124/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_evolution_in_public_education kinda rolls the clock back a few centuries.
