From the question: As far as I can tell, SMTP traffic is at most 2-5% of net traffic.
From the response: Your figures for the percentage of bandwidth which is spam are far too low. Others have put the numbers much higher. NewsFactor cites studies putting the figure somewhere between 17 and 38%. See http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/19803.htm l.
From the article cited: Two recent studies put spam's percentage of e-mail volume at either 17 percent or 38 percent.
Obviously there's some confusion here between the percentage of email that is spam and the percentage of bandwidth that is email/spam.
I know I'll get flamed for this...sigh
What kind of impact will this have? It's a Java port of a 15+ year old game!
I'm sure students will have fun reading through the code, but there have definitely been better games out there since this came out.
Watch--next we're getting the code for Pong opened up!
That wasn't layman's terms. That was just a little exposition. No chance in hell a layman is going to understand this, so we might as well just leave it at:
Not every solution is for every problem. This isn't for huge data warehousing systems. My impression is that this is for smaller databases where there is a lot of interactions with fewer objects.
This was compared to an Oracle db running in RAM. Who would spend the money for an Oracle db (and an Oracle admin) for a database small enough to fit in RAM?
This isn't all that bad, as long as Google stops after he put in the trademark mention. That's just being legally consistent. If I had a trademark on something, I'd want people to respect it too.
Btw, I didn't know "googling" also applied to internet searches in general. I don't refer to a Yahoo! search as googling. (Well, at least not any more, since Yahoo! quit (publicly) using the Google engine.)
Even though I don't know the biology behind it, I do know that a common cause for hiccuping is eating too fast. A drink of water always cures that for me. Is there a fishy explanation for that, too?
Unfortunately, natural languages have almost nothing in common with computer languages. Computer languages are for the most part 1:1 codes - the same command means the same thing in whatever context it appears in a particular language. Natural languages are not codes; an idiom means different things in different contexts.

Have you ever read All You Zombies, by Robert Heinlein? I'd be careful with the blanket statements there:) I know where I come from, what about all you zombies?

This is WAY cool, man!

Did you really expect competence?
When are they going to switch all of them to monkeys typing randomly?
Hey, it worked for Shakepeare
I thought college students made all the coin they could ever need with those webcams.
Does this new breakthrough have DMCA implications?
(Yeah, I know, but I thought it needed to be said.)
Again, I say, "Is this news?"

I personally have not yet met a single evolutionist who _understands_ the creationist position.
Forget that, I haven't met many evolutionists who understand evolution.

You haven't used Perl much, have you?
from the how-are-the-tshirts dept.
So, how were the tshirts?
Umm.. They just mention Kazaa.
Isn't it silly how media outlets need to find a single party for each side of an issue?
(RIAA vs Kazaa, not RIAA vs all those file-sharing networks)
Slashdot mentioned it earlier.
So why post it again?
