Not necessarily. Take the "San Marzano" tomato: the common and most appreciated variety is currently threatened by a virus. There's another one, of the same type, that has the resistance, but it is not as.. delicious. We could just carry the gene of the resistance across and eat your cake too, but nooooo! It would be playing God! Billions would die! Kittens would cry!
I understand there are risks in some of the GM techniques, but such a wide and blanket prohibition makes no sense.
GMO != Monsanto. There's a lot of free and publicly available research on GM, but as long as most of people will consider it evil a-priori, only evil companies will take advantage of it.
I have heard this argument a million times and it still does not convince me. What makes GM particularly threatening compared to crop artificially selected via shotgun approaches, e.g. crossbreading?
And the madness is that from the activist POV there's no distinction between a single gene flip and a full fledged injection from other species! As long as it's made in a lab, then it's "potentially harmful".
Hmmm.. nowhere in the linked article it says anything about exporting power to France, and it states that renewables are 32.3% of electricity generation (which is *not* power), not half.
"In conclusion, the Panel considers that the information available for MON 863 addresses the outstanding questions raised by the Member States and considers that MON 863 will not have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed use."
While I am not at all fan of Monsanto, I have to say that in the past research on GM crops has been highly polarized and there has been a lot of poor science from both sides. Let's wait and see how this study classifies.
VJ is expensive?? Is one of the cheapest type of face recognition algorithms out there! I implemented my own for my ML class in 2004 and it was running on 60fps on a supercheap laptop.
I don't think this is the point. The manned planes are already being replaced by UAVs (the F-22 is probably going to be the last major air-superiority aircraft), and in the near future the F-15 and F-16 can be "cheaply" replaced by F-35. Too bad for such beautiful baby, but when you have a robot that can sustain 15g there's simply no game.
Regardless of the fact you're a math student or not, I recommend Motion Mountain, the free physics book. It covers pretty much anything (up to the most recent stuff) and it is beautifully written.
1. you are partially wrong: here's the compression http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/iostreams/doc/classes/gzip.html and URL fetching is coming with the network lib (http://cpp-netlib.blogspot.com/) which aims to be included in the next release. 2. I had to many troubles with dynamically typed languages. I would (IMHO!) not take that as a plus. 3. There's no silver bulled with respect to reference counting. Each techniques has pro and cons.
And I do write web services (or services used by web app.) all the time using facebook's thrift, and CPU is critical for us. Hell, I would not even use java for it!
But as usual it depends a lot on what you need.
P.s. Adobe wrote also a speed critical image library which is now part of boost (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/gil/doc/index.html)
Apparently there is no real alternative to Vista on PCs, and this is why it is likely that it will become a success. But I can't stop wondering what it would happen if Apple makes its OS available to any intel machine. This is probably a good moment for them..

In Soviet Russia... maybe. This Russia? Unlikely.

What part of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_breeding#Classical_plant_breeding you don't understand?

This. A million times.

No, and Germany cannot either. That's why they are bringing back online old and super-polluting coal plants.
Do you have any evidence to back this up? Again, I am not a fan of either monsanto or gm, I just want to know what's real.
That's the reason why it was accepted:

Also note that a lot of "user info" has always been available through feeds.
Hey, anyone cares about EVIDENCE? The title of the article is totally misleading.
There's also last.fm fingerprint library which is open source: svn://svn.audioscrobbler.net/recommendation/MusicID/lastfm_fplib

What about "songs are mostly played in alphabetical order"? :)

Well, if it's for C++, why not using boost::thread instead?

+1. Modern C++ is way different from the old day paradigms. Just look at the boost library.
You still can do local functions using the lambda library in boost.
