I can't say that I tried them all... but one link near the bottom was rather interesting. Thymine in particular is worthy of checking out. AIFF format.

Regardless of whether or not the changes have degraded the service Google provides, unless Google (quickly) addresses this problem to the (at least superficial) satisfaction of people, it will hurt Google.
"I cruise at 120 on a mechanical keyboard, so for intense typing, I still fall back to my standard keyboard. But for most of the non-coding time in front of the computer, the Stealth is great."
If you code at a higher speed than you type at, then there is something drastically wrong with the code you are writing.
It may be that one cannot tamper with the codes without leaving behind evidence of this tampering... but it seems that there may be the potential here for either physical or electro-magnetic interference to destroy signals completely.
I hope that some kind of redundancy is built in... possibly leading to messages taking multiple physical routes simultaneously.
Google does... but it is overkill. Using robots.txt to prevent deep linking also prevents Google from seeing any information in the blocked directories. People who want to prevent deep linking probably would like Google to read their entire site, but force all links to the highest level page.
1) Will the algorithm be made public? Should it be? Though it would appease the privacy-folk, it may also undermine the usefulness to some degree.
2) Some things I think the algorithm should consider (this is a mathematician speaking... it may be that some of these things are not appropriate to collect... although I suspect that insurance agencies have access to them all):
previous flights
age/sex/nationality
recent credit history
insurance policies
police record
payment method
passenger group (family, friends, alone, etc.)
It seems that you didn't bother to read the article.
A substantial part of the R&D budget goes to weather prediction. More specifically, the design and use of sophisticated sensors to feed a neural net. Doesn't matter?
The actual design (hull+sail) follows principles of GAs. Of course, because precise computer modeling is not currently possible, the fitness function is evaluated through actual test runs. It seems that a significant amount of database mining is also involved here. Doesn't matter?
Granted the article at wired does not really go into detail (or even necessarily mention) these things, but that is why you *think* while you read. Accurate forecasting tools and efficient optimizing techniques seem like things that will matter in the future.
And geeky? I think that spending massive amounts of money for relatively minor progress qualifies.
In online chess, there is now a distinction made between whether a person or a program is playing. Perhaps RTS games could mimic this, building some kind of interface to let people develop AI.
Granted, this would take most of the RT out of RTS, but a lot of people are more interested in build orders and tactics than point and click.
One would hope that the RTS games would be designed so that evolutionary strategies tend to domninate static ones.
Perhaps I am missing something here, but on the second page, it says:
"NCEM's One-Ångstrom Microscope (OÅM) has achieved the country's highest resolution-better than 0.8 angstrom"
Then, three paragraphs later, they are suddenly locating columns of silicon atoms with 1/100 angstrom precision.
Does this imply that there is some mechanical resolution in the microscope at the 1/100 angstrom level? Is this possible?
It seems that the article does not mention the advantages to having research be centrally located. Granted this is more about a theory than an implementation, but I think that the ability to search through the actual *text* of many different areas of science could be useful.
See http://www.eaaa.net/ut_conversion.htm for translation in the US. Those mathematically inclined should be able to use the table and common sense to translate to any time zone.
So 13:30 UT = 09:30 EDT.

AlltheWeb.com must be soaking this up with glee.
