As placing microphones on every building in London or Paris to measure noise was not practical, data on the amount of traffic carried by roads and the noise levels was fed into computers to generate a model of noise levels across the city.
Who says noise comes only from traffic?
You would be right if IRC-originated info was searched along everything else; I suspect IRC search will be available in a seperate tab alla "Groups" or "Directory".
With the importance of Google in our every day lives steadily increasing, I don't dare to think of what might happen if Google et all stops being our good friend at some distant point. Centralized repositories are just not the way to go, we need a distributed, user-base owned, search engine. Maybe in the next Matrix moovie...
Even if these numbers are too large, this still makes you think about how inefficient our cars are.
Actually I've been wondering how can all these tons of oil can even exist underground. The whole process under which oil is generated, makes the picture impossible IMHO.
It's just a conspiracy I say. Bring in the hydrogen.
What they are teaching them, as with any material used in education, has some distanse from production projects.
Try throwing in LDAP servers, SMS/GPRS gateways with PHP or.NET and you'll see what I mean. BTW, this guy has his students playing with raw SQL and the like, while production developers use OO abstraction layers for persistense like Hibernate, JDO or EJBs as they see fit.
These students are using Java like they would be using PHP in a small website project...
...as SUN's stuff usually feature Apache code inside (including the current J2EE RI and Application Server). It's only logical for SUN to push development of the complete application server to Apache, as it has been doing with many other code bases of it's products. Using an open source group to develop stuff reduces costs (SUN is not the only one doing this, see IBM with the Eclipse/Websphere studio for another example).
The benefit is for everyone as we gain access to more OS code. Then again, SCO may claim it owns certain Apache code fragments...
The support for anything other than United Statesian English is pretty bad.
Actually, I've been using the Greek spellchecking and autocomplete features since the betas and they beat MS Office out of the water as far as my native language goes...
... I mean, business 101 says "our directive is to provide services that cover needs".
It's about time for commercial entities to wake up from their arrogant, profit-oriented view of running a business and observe what's going on in the global society, especially on the IT industry.
The reactions though, will determine if that is indeed a good move... I hope ppl will support their model.
...respect to all interested parties, it's a shame to see all this brain power waisted for unimportant things such as stealing your ISP or enforcing such a rule.
It's my darn account and I should be able to do whatever with it.
Things are not that absolute. People use GNU/Linux (or any other piece of OSS) for far greater reasons than price.
I mean, if you are using OSS just for the price tag, you miss most of the point. OSS is one of the greatest social phenomena since democracy and that's where a number of people find motivation to learn, use and promote it.
Just ask an OSS developer;-)

Yes, it frightening; any human invention can be used for either good or bad, but 99% of the time humans proove they are unprepared for their own workings.
IMHO, we lost control of everything when commercialization of research took over as the motive.
Research should be guided (regulated?) by the public but applying this (if ever possible) seems impossible. Please don't flame about regulate, I think people should have an opinion and vote when their quality of life is at stake.

Last time I heard viruses used mutate.

Oil will stand aside for other power tech when interests of enough big players become established.
Right now the situation is (as a sysadmin would say) "working, so why bother changing".
Anyone care to talk on who's interests are not there yet?
I'm in Athens, Greece and exploring the Apple website has persuaded me that both discounts are unavailable for me. Apple should offer both globally...
Does frequent include searches using sourceid=mozilla-search?
Anyway, someone please capture/mirror the counter for us to check it out, before we ./ google to get our own (or rather, spend our bandwidth trying).

you click the torrent link in your browser, which sees the torrent MIME type and calls torrent to handle it...

game, food and condom testing. I think I will look for a generic "consumer goods tester" position... sould proove pretty cost effective BTW.
They'll never notice that you've taken them out.
I dont think so. Checking for valid euro notes will probably include the existance of an operational RFID.
Anyway, should protest against this... anyone knows of any efforts against this?
I don't want any of my buying history recorded but it wont be long since cash will look suspicious...
