I'm serious, where is the talent in discussing OSS these days...
C++/STL/BOOST (graph and multi-index libraries and lambda)
If the competions gave these as options, there really wouldn't be a competition. It would be a battle of who can figure which routines to use in which order... Or in other words it would be a slaughtering of people using any other language by people using the C++/STL/BOOST combo.
I'm serious whats up with british people and their need to make and have dossiers? I mean look blair did it, the idiot who lost his phone did it... dossier this dossier that, if you call me names i'm going to make a dossier on you and present it somewhere of little importance:)
yes correct, and in-fact it can be taken one step further:
assume the system is able to determine symmetric groups. that is groups that have totally (or near totally) different voting directions, an example would be the honest group and the spammers group.
if say the spammers vote something up, instead of the honest group ignoring their rating, they can use the symmetric properties between their group and the spammer's group to re-enforce their vote (aka the credence) of the file in question - in this case rate it down even further.
If the right restrictions were put in place such as the fact that the symmetric effect will only effect files that have a negative credence and not files that have a positive credence, then various forms of collusion can be over come.
A lie can always be turned into a truth and a truth into a lie...

When uploading JPEGs created in GIMP, the site returns:
"could not upload JPEG, please use proper JPEG format"
So I re-save the image with MS-paintbrush still the same error... Not very happy, not very happy at all...
Might not be as useful as first thought...

I'm sorry but I don't need some remote sensor device using wi-fi telling me that it is raining hail stones, the pain from the fractures to my cranium will be more than enough.

Its an American software maker that is providing the software solutions for such large scale filtering.
To be honest, the company has stated that they do not have an clients representing the Iranian government.
This leads one to conclude that the software is either being used illegally or a 3rd party is interfacing between the company and the country.
regardless, filtering of the internet for Iranians will be here for sometime yet, though through experience i have seen that those that want to circumvent the system, easily can. and there aren't many that want to but can't:)
