Isn't it easy for some attacker to pretend they are somewhere else on the network? Also, chances are the behavior-based algorithms would need ten to twenty years of tuning before they are reliable (also with respect to real attacker pretending)
Looks like a project that is easy to spend a lot of money on, but with little accountability.
I was just quoting. (But about your comment, if there were only 15,160 galaxies altogether, or two more than in the sample, surely the chance of error would be smaller)
"According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe." (http://www.physics.org/facts/sand-galaxies.asp)
"This study uses 15158 spiral galaxies with redshifts 0.085 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey." (http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.2815)
You wrote, "Health insurance is so expensive because we simply refuse to let people die in peace."--- Where you get that from?
I thought it's so expensive because it's a rip-off / blackmail industry. And regulated on top of that. Then, in the US add a little bit of racism to the reasons
Surely as thousands of surveys are published each day, some of their results will fall outside of the stated confidence interval. Some of them will simply be quite wrong, useless, and/or misleading, without the individual publisher having any fault at all.
I found the WSJ article is just a rant, with cheap attacks on the messengers (tells stories about net-neutrality proponents which are supposed to be evil communists, etc). Doesn't really discuss the issues, nor contain much information.

Sounds like the lawyers didn't do a good job explaining Sony's fault

Nice to hear the phrase "renewable sources" being used.
"The authors incorrectly assumed that every human has a facebook account." -> On top of which, some people have more than one.
This didn't seem to do that good of a job, but was 2 years ago.

Happy measuring!

Maybe he has in mind a different categorization: One data centre for each of the "common use cases" at http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#common-use-cases
Why would one amazon/s3 be enough for everybody else :-)

The amounts that were spent do not necessarily equal the costs.
Who knows spending 1% may have had the same effect.

Amazon may be right with respect to music files people presently own.
But in the future, music files may be sold with clauses addressing "cloud players".
nobody wants to work anymore, everyone just wants to get paid
"Employer Facebook Password Requests Suspended" should be "Employee Facebook Password Requests Suspended", no?

"Writing printer and scanner drivers" would be a one-time effort, no ?
Someone was bored, and had some time to waste.

Just start small, with "failing tests" for each new bug. Bug fixed, test passes. Keep expanding the test coverage.
Related occured to me about surveys and their margin of error.

Thanks for going to the effort of searching through the article for any kind of useful information.
I also came up with nothing, and called it "just a rant".

With "closed source" you would have so much less of a chance to track down a back door. You wouldn't even have the file histories. - S
I think reading the papers through the Internet, in a library, or from your own print-out is enough.
I would suggest Alan Turing would feel the same.
(How would you feel about your own writing being auctioned, but easily available otherwise?)

Neutrino walks into a bar. Bartender says "We don't serve neutrino's here!"
Neutrino says, "Just passing through."
I've been working on loggingit.com for close to two years now.
It's really simple to keep track of stuff.

-- hardly any other similar web app seems to care about that.
Give it a try!

Remember the "openxml" standardization travesty.
Professionals exploit the rules, and the people playing fair are cheated.
I suspect the thing about wikipedia is that none of the cheaters actually get onto the board.
With society / elections it is different. Maybe because spending money on campaigns has an effect?
