Seach engine crawlers will pick up the huge banner and your cached version will look like shit despite that nicfty code that's supposed to limit it to IE. I'm just saying...

The articles that are semi-protected are mostly huge writeups that are more or less complete by now, it's not like they would be edited much anyway, it would be a different thing if the page about George W Bush was to be semi-protected as a stub, i.e. when it needed a huge flow of information to be made. A good reason for unprotecting a page would be if huge discoveries had been made about it and it needed much input, like if someone proved Jesus was a hoax.
It's also a good thing to have to keep the vandals out, it's been rampant since the John Siegenthaler controversy.
Has anyone else noticed that their accounts are falling behind when it comes to upgrades? I discovered the auto-save feature yesterday by accident when I was peeking over one of my friends' shoulder, I asked him how long it had been there. "A month, maybe", he replied.
How come I haven't seen that feature yet? Even my dummy accounts get upgrades.
As stated in the above post, the search was recovered from the hard drive. It'd be more like finding the receipt of a checkout instead of scanning the checkout history.
This does catch on, we've had this in Sweden for a little more than a year now, even before iTunes opened over here we had network providers selling music to cell phones.
What's bugging me is that it does seem to work, I just don't get why, some phones don't even have a normal headphone connector, thus no connection to a real speaker. But still the music gets bought, just to be listened to through loudspeakers designed to reproduce no bass at all, I pity them.
Google's got a similar way of using unorthodox methods of sending data. If you're in the AdSense program and want to get your first payment via electronic wire they won't contact you bank to verify your account, but try to deposit a small sum of money, then ask the user to verify the exact amount.
Naturally this won't have any other good uses as it would be the most expensive way to send data ever, just imagine every few bytes costing you a cent. I wouldn't complain about recievng that data, though...
One of the major things that influence the treatment of an illness, especially in psychology is the patient and doctor's belief that the treatment will actually work. Now wouldn't this study just perpetuate the positive effects of socializing over the internet by making patients think it's a part of the treatment that will work?
Let's compare it to the products it's supposed to replace, here's why I'm not using a PDA:
The calendar - I don't want to power up my PDA, flip through tiny menus with a stylus, it should be easy to access and I don't want to go several hundred dollars back if I lose it. On the other hand there's the synchronization, if I only got it to sync with my iPod and Nokia, that is.
mp3 player - No PDA holds 20 GB of music, nor are they pretty to look at or light enough to hang around your neck when you decide to hit the running track.
Cell phone - Too big.
Portable browser - fine, but the cell phones are getting closer, my latest cell phone isn't even restricted to WAP sites, unlike my last one...

Oh hey, it works just like filesharing giving artists increased publicity and sales, no surprise there.
"Holywood" - is that some sort of nasty pun aiming at a profitable male porn star or just a typo?

...Yes, and in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four "The Party" invented the airplane.
this is the page I meant to post

The article concerned is naturally Jordanhill railway station (link to current version)
Are they also trying to pass the Turing test?
Bodström is the goddamn incarnation of Big Brother, one more term and he'll make telescreens mandatory.
Nah, just link [[anyone]] to an article that contain the words "not you".

That part about the falling bullet got me thinking: If the myths actually contributed to new knowledge/discoveries, how seriously would they be taken?
Would the scientific community base future research on an entertainment program?
Would Jamie and Adam have to write a scientific publication without their crazy narrator and a really stiff academic style to be taken seriously?
Finally I can get that exchange rates widget I've been waiting for.
That's so disappointing, I bet they did it on purpose so they wouldn't end up like the .cx TLD.
Even better, fill in the number of a competitor.

What exacty goes into base? As I've understood it everything is supposed to go into Google base, right?
Could wikipedia be imported to Google base?

It added that the Blizzard could get away with using The Warden because information about it was buried in licence agreements that few people read.
"Warden" instead of "the warden" is a grey zone, but it's definitely not "the Blizzard"

Sounds good to me.
I know one chronic illness it doesn't do anything good for - MMORPG addictions.
This'll totally screw it up for the cartoons who use the light bulb as a symbol for an idea, I hope you feel guilty...

Trying to kill off P2P is like squeezing a blob of jelly, it just pours out between your fingers and reassembles after a while...
