I agree. Office 2007 really is good. Many features in Word and Excel that I never knew about, but now use all the time, were introduced through the ribbon. Excel can now open enormous text files without hanging. The whole suite is very slick.
The summary is not misleading in that he was sentenced to death. Only after outrage and a petition was it reversed as a "technical mistake".
What exactly is your point? That things aren't so bad there after all? "Sheesh"...He was almost killed for downloading a document about women's rights! People make such a big deal over nothing don't they. It's good that you don't overreact though.
It's by Brown and Lowe at UBC comp sci department. Now what I couldn't figure out is how the Photosynth software differs. It adds a nice morphing effect, but what challenges did it overcome? The methodology looks very similar.
I never understood the motivation behind that. Why would they fly a missile into the Pentagon? The twin towers fell. That would have been plenty to justify our war on terror.
Here is my take on it without the personal attacks:
The health of the environment must be sacrificed for some people to scrape by day to day. They work damn hard at miserable jobs just to give their children bread on the table. Life isn't easy and he resents people who want to teach lessons and force him to piss his daughter's college fund into the gas tank.
He is saying that if you don't care about the cost of oil then you are either wealthy, insensitive or just naive--mistakenly thinking that this robotic reduction of difficult problems is intelligent thought. It's easy to say that you don't want oil refineries built when you ride a schoolbus for free.
I'm so glad they don't use quicktime. My 3ghz machine can't play TV shows in iTunes without the sound going out of sync. Last time I used quicktime I couldn't figure out how to make the movie fullscreen either.
This is insanity. How do you even get an interview for these positions at "software consulting company" without having the degree on your resume? You can send your resume out all day long but if you don't have CSBS on it no one is biting.
In past postings many on slashdot claimed that the BluRay name would hurt its sales since people would immediately know that HD-DVD stands for high def but no one will know what BluRay means. It puzzles me that HD-DVD hasn't caught on since the players are actually affordable and no one can tell a difference in video quality between HD-DVD and BluRay. I was ready to buy an HD-DVD player due to the price alone until I heard this news.
It's true that if you have no comparison you might mistake an SD channel for HD; probably not the other way around though. If you can flip between the two I think it's obvious which is HD.
I come from the US. We have heard of ploughs and snowtires and chains. Ploughed roads can still be icy and slick. Chains are a pain in the ass especially when freeways are dry while other side streets are covered in snow.
4wd does help on ice. Four-wheel-low and the extra clearance of a jeep has gotten me out of my own driveway several times.
I do some programming on my windows machine and although it has 3 gigs of RAM the computer will constantly fail on me. XP gets to the point where it won't open new dialog boxes until I close another window. The box never crashes but it becomes unuseable after a few days.
Obviously you can blame this on the particular applications...If I take it easy on the machine it will stay up for weeks.
When people say that their machine never crashes what have we learned? Nada.
If you want a wii yourself it doesn't really seem fair to make your kids share the cost with you. If you want to teach them a lesson have them buy their own sneakers or clothing. They might learn to appreciate the cost of living that way. Saving a wii and watching dad play on it doesn't seem as useful a life lesson.
I just paid 100 bucks to get my xbox 360 repaired for malfunctioning video (no picture or distorted with blue bands). The warranty doesn't extend for me because the red lights aren't showing. I've never had a console malfunction before and I'll avoid future xbox's as long as they don't kill sony this generation.
And where does it say for sure that 1) this company is in the US or that the forum is based in the US? And, again, as I pointed out, how does the OP know that even if it's not in the comments, that permission wasn't obtained elsewhere, in email, for example?
There is so much complaining about cell carriers, I feel that anyone who is happy with theirs must speak up for the sake of balance and perspective.
I signed on with Cingular maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I make phone calls and text messages with my phone and I've never had a problem with the company. I'm on my third phone and they've all worked very well and have nice interfaces (I admit the verizon interfaces look like sh*t though).
Whenever I've called with a problem customer service has been pretty helpful. I've never had a billing issue though I don't change my damn plan every other month either. I even broke my phone halfway through my contract due to my own fault (threw it against the wall), and they gave me a new one as long as I renewed.
What the F should I be doing with my phone? Somehow everyone here hates their cell carrier, but I've completely missed out on this bitchfest...and it would be great to join. You might complain about how expensive ringtones are, but how pathetic is it to even _want_ a custom ringtone ?! I wish that no one could even turn the ringer ON. (I can upload my own ringtones to the phone for free, btw). I might complain about how much they charge to send pictures (I can download those off the phone for free too), but it doesn't come up since I don't feel the need to constantly verify to my friends that I'm still ugly. Unfortunately coverage has actually improved quite a bit, so I can't complain about that as much either.
If you place the coin heads up before flipping it, I believe the odds are slightly higher that it will land heads up. See "Physics of coin flipping" on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_flipping.
The killer for me was that Gimp constantly crashed...perhaps due to a plugin, but I'm not sure. I use windows, and I've used Gimp successfully on other windows machines. The crashes are so consistent that I can't open a.jpg. At this point I didn't feel it was worth the trouble to debug it or even reinstall.
I run into the fairplay restrictions every time I want to put the songs on a CD for my car stereo which can play mp3's...and hooking up my iPod through FM or audio jack is no substitute either.
I could burn and rip back to mp3, but it's a hassle. This is trivial inside iTunes for songs from "iTunes plus", but the selection really stinks there
I recently took a trip to England, France and Italy and it changed my opinion completely about beer. Americans have excellent taste in beer! We actually keep more obscure stuff on tap. I can get Belgian beers at the local tavern. The English drink Guinness ICE COLD and that's as good as it gets!
The paper is published on Efros's website; I don't think neural nets were used, but I only glanced at a it a while ago.
A program called 'gist' summarizes all of the images in the database and based on similar summaries they narrow down to a couple hundred images. Then they pick one image and look for a cut line slightly surrounding the missing area which minimizes some criterion. You don't see the seam because they fill in more than just what was missing.
Just read a couple papers that came out of the Broad Inst.: GSEA (2005 PNAS) and the connectivity map (2006 Science). Didn't find any detailed info on the methods used in the Pinnacle Project, however.
For a class project I've been trying different test statistics with GSEA and the lack of power of the K-S statistic currently used seems evident. With slight modifications I can find more relevant (to cancer anyway) "enriched" sets at very low FDR. Sometimes too many sets are significant! At least the K-S stat doesn't have that problem:)

Sheesh.
Reading through the references in the Photosynth siggraph paper I saw that they briefly mentioned this paper as being similar:

Maybe someone who knows more can enlighten me.

Not my words mind you...

This joke was stolen from another post further down in the discussion.

Watch the video. Their 3d models let you distinguish individual leaves on trees.

Interesting. I checked out the tuition for University of Toronto and it's about 20k per year. Pretty steep.

No diversion tactics in the argument please.
