No resources are freed for any future generations of database contaminants to breed on by filtering. And, the notion of evolution would also require changes to the contaminants, which don't really happen. So by all means, filter. It will leave harder-to-detect contaminants there, but they won't become more numerous.
Netflix calculates the score shown on the leaderboard from a set of rating predictions submitted by a team. The team does not, and will not, know the correct answers. For testing their algorithms, the teams use another dataset. The two datasets, part of the package made available to the competitors, are known as "qualifying" and "probe".
In the Finnish language version of Excel, all the function names (to be used in spreadsheet formulas) are in Finnish. It's horrible! To search for help or examples from Internet one has to use a table to translate the function names.
That is funny, in Finnish medical drug law there's pretty much an opposite clause: When a patient is buying a prescribed drug, brand A, the drug store must offer a cheaper substitute drug, brand B, if such exists.
Perhaps a better version of your analogy would be this:
A metal pole is used to transfer information from one end to the other. A guy on one end is shaking the bar, and pushing and pulling it. This is detected by the guy in the other end. Life goes past smoothly, and this technique of information transfer is perfected. Then, suddenly, some smart asshole comes in and shows these guys that they can also twist the pole, essentially giving a new channel on which to transfer information.
For simulation, Monte Carlo and such statistical sampling this would be perfect. There is already random error - sampling error - so adding a lesser source of error - computational error - while reducing the first would make sense if the computations can be sped up.
I don't think the principal elements of dreams has to be visual imagery. If I recall a dream, I cannot always remember actually seeing anything. Sometimes it's more like objects and concepts. That dreams would merely replace sensory input is probably a misconception.
Color, by the way. (But once it was black and white and some things in color, as in Nethack)
Given the exponential growth of computer processing power, in about 300 years it will only take one year to do the calculation. If we start now we get the result a couple of years early!
Or you can go to the delphion patent server and append &page=0 to the end of the url to see the whole patent for which only the first page is supposed to be visible to non-paying customers. Hacking?
If children are instructed less to stay away from situations where they are in reach of sexual predators, these environments actually become safer. The logic is that the appetite of the predators is more likely to stay constant than to scale with the number of children at risk.
I don't buy this explanation. Say you accelerate a missile, you will have a considerable duration of acceleration, imposing a force upon the MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) components. Yet they survive it.
Me and my geeky friends once spent a full week programming bots that fought each other... in rock, paper and scissors. It was interesting that the best bots were actually doing things very much related to data compression. They were guessing the opponent's next move based on the previous moves. Markov chains and such. Think if you had the dictionary in front of you. It might be possible to guess which word comes next, based on the previous ones.
At a time there was a bot that beat all the other bots. Well, an analysis of the.class file turned out that it was actually loading the other bots'.class files and simulating them.:-)
Pink noise is actually pretty much the most pleasing type of noise, as most natural noises have a similar spectral envelope. I used it successfully to mask the nocturnal voice(s) of a mad flatmate.
Someone can sue Amazon for other infringements. But they won't if Amazon can strike back with a bunch of patents the other company might be infringing. Or they will, and Amazon will use its patents to negotiate itself a more favorable deal.
I was about to buy something from them because it was so cheap, but got suspicious because they had no feedback, were selling quite a number of expensive items - audio equipment and expensive wristwatches - , the auctions all looked different and photos were quite obviously not by the same person. But others did buy from him and after some time, the "Money cashed, no product, no replies to e-mails" negative feedback started to roll in.

Turn the picture around and re-scan, that way you effectively have the light coming from different angles by each scan. No need to modify the scanner.

Try CCleaner. Some of my friends recommended it. One of them noticed a speedup after running it.
yes
Ha! Another Nethack player!

It is, looking at the polygonal edges of the fin on the back.

To my experience, Opera is faster. But I tend to use Firefox for Greasemonkey and Gmail-compatibility.

I have used numbers from them in lottery for half a year now. In one branch of the universe, I have already won. In this one, unfortunately not...

Next time, remember to remove the lens cover. All your images are black!

I liked best the picture of a koala with a text "Bear in mind".
