It's not like the MegaFarms actually use grass to feed the cows. Given how they grow chickens, I'm surprised that cows aren't moved indoors with artificial light.
But what about those people just watching the video to watch who is watching the video while watching the video... or something like that.
I can't wait until the MPAA / TV broadcasters get a hold of this. They'll be sending out letters for people who watch a snippet of a TV show on Youtube.
How hard would it be to write a "Usenet""Online Forum" thingy? "EVERYONE" uses webmail however some of us still prefer thunderbird or other real mail clients.
Take.. http://forum.xbmc.org/ for example. You'd still need to register on the web and login to usenet with your password. All of the separate forum groups would be a separate group (does usenet support spaces, if not change them to an underscore).
It would require a separate server process, but for large dedicated forums it shouldn't be too hard.
And it couldn't before? Any trojan could go and change your settings for any website that you're currently logged into. It's not like this is something new with facebook.
Heck, the fundamental way they work is the entire idea behind GreaseMonkey & UserScripts (for Chrome/Opera)
You have to drag them from their website to your toolbar. Go to facebook, click on them. The javascript scrapes the website and either validates the settings (reclaim) or just sets everything to 'friends only' (save face).
I've tested both and they seem to work just fine.
I bet facebook releases a change in the html to break the scraper soon though.
Sadly this is the new norm, because HDTV sized displays are the new in thing, that seems to be about where companies have stopped packing pixels.
My 17" dell laptop is running at 1920x1200, and it's about perfect as far as DPI goes. The 21" monitor next to it only does 1680x1050. I've seen LCDs as large as 24" that only do 1920x1200. Come on, have all the manufacturers just given up at "1080P"?
You mean GUID partition Table. It is part of the EFI standard, however you can use a GUID partition with BIOS. Linux and FreeBSD are the only 2 OSs that can Boot from a BIOS/GUID setup.
Windows can boot from a GUID partition table, but only on an EFI motherboard and those aren't exactly falling from the sky right now.
Personally all of my disks are on GUID because my main OSes are Linux/MacOS X, other than my OpenSolaris server which just uses ZFS on the devices.
2) A series is not out on DVD yet in my country. So how about releasing games and vids simultaniously everwhere?!
I've never understood that in a world economy why content owners think they can keep things secret from another portion of the world. While it usually doesn't happen to the US, I can think of a few instances where I've watched the DVDRip before it even came to theaters in the US.
When I saw Taken show up on a list of new releases I grabbed it and watched it. Months later I started seeing ads for it, it was released here almost a full year after it first came out. Same goes for most British made movies.
If I lived outside the US, I'd never wait for movies to come out.
If that is all you want AutoZone/AdvanceAuto will usually reset the lights and read the codes for free. They'll try and sell you the part to fix it, but they don't force you to buy it.
I use VCDS on my VW because when I'm diagnosing a problem on my car, I don't want to simultaneously diagnosing my tools.
It takes time and money to reverse stuff. There have been a few open source projects, but all stalled or weren't kept up to date. I see there's a new VW project on SF.
And as far as development goes, don't ask what a CANapelicense and hard ware cost.
1) The name. MySpace. FaceBook. LinkedIn. Diaspora. Orkut. Which two don't belong? 2) They don't have a product. All they did was raise capital. The least they should have done would be to make a mockup or a working website.
All they really need, from me, to be a success is an easy way to upload photos, a way to tag people in photos and a way to share photos with people not on diaspora.
The "$100 Walmart Gift Cards" have been around as long as I can remember. They fall under the same category as the "Free iPods" thing that went around the internet in 2003-2005.*
Facebook is now a popular website, so of course advertisers are going to target them. If you really want to see how targeted they can make ads, go create your own on facebook. I'm using it to recruit for our Rugby team. I can target gender, age, interests, geographical area (and radius), etc.
*My first 'nice' camera was a Canon SD 550 that I got for free, I got one for my girlfriend at the time. I got 8 iPods for free (used one and sold off the rest). My parents have a MacMini I got for free. My main TV is a 37" 720p Samsung I got for free. I've gotten the $100 Walmart gift cards before.
You just have to read ALL the fine print and make sure you follow the rules/directions to the letter. Cancel any offers you set up (or use a disposable credit card number like I did).
is an idiomatic expression the purpose of which is to divert the audience from the truth or an item of significance. For example, in mystery fiction, an innocent party may be purposefully cast as highly suspicious through emphasis or descriptive techniques; attention is drawn away from the true guilty party. --- How is this any different than my bank forcing me to get an 'authorization code' via Text every time I login with a computer that doesn't have their cookie set?
Looks like the house of cards is starting to crumble. I know it's stupid, but maybe if they kept it simple like back in the day.... (Although I love the API for batch uploading photos)
Explain the practical uses of Ricin for the lay person. He created enough ricin to kill 9 people (500mg is lethal dosage according to Wiki). There's some hope it can be used for Cancer, but right now it just seem like it's really good at killing people.
I have a standard ATX case with 4-in-3 adapter from Newegg. I didn't get the more expensive ones with trays because I didn't need to hot swap.
I have 2x1TB drives in ZFS mirror for boot. 5x1.5TB drives in RaidZ as a tank and 2x200GB drives in mirror with a virtual block device for Xen Debian and Windows 7.
OpenSolaris is amazingly simple to use, if you're just doing your home network.
At the most basic level: zpool create tank c5t0d0s0 c5t1d0s0 zfs sharenfs=on tank zfs sharesmb=on tank zfs shareiscsi=on tank
Now your new drives are all shared over NFS, SMB and iSCSI.
I keep looking for the old school full height 'desktops' at a bargain store or so. Search newegg. 3.5" external works just as well as internal.
This has 11 3.5" bays and 3 x 5.25" bays. With a 4 in 3 linked above you could have 15 hard drives in a case for $100. Or if you care about hot swappability This one has 20 hot swap bays (at 3x the cost).
If you want more performance, get some SSDs to work as the ZFS "cache".
8.0 and OpenSolaris both support booting from ZFS. (Using the latest Grub, which the OpenSolaris contributed the ZFS.mod).
Having lost one of my mirrored boot drives and replacing it without a hiccup was nothing short of amazing. ZFS is very easy to use from the command line.
After fighting with Xen on Linux (and the billion different config instructions.). I finally just installed it in OpenSolaris and was done with it. (It's as simple as an 'apt-get' in debian). My home server is a quad core CPU with 8GB of ram running Windows7 (PVM) and Debian64 (DomU) in Xen.
I like my linux machines, but I love my OpenSolaris server.
Except in America every child is special and deserves to go to college, and no matter what system you list above, nearly everyone somehow ends up in college.
You'd have more lawsuits than you knew what to do with if you told some parent that his or her child wasn't smart enough to become an engineer. Or should become an automechanic*. Kids don't even play sports to 'win' any more. They don't keep score. Everyone gets a participation ribbon. Can't hurt anyones feelings.
Even if you showed absolutely no aptitude for anything requiring college, your counselor and parents still suggested it and you came out with some useless degree and a huge amount of debt.
The other problem with the way America does it is, just as you ran into a problem with it, 'smart' people can't take "dumb" trades. I was top of my class. I took all the AP courses I could Junior year and was off to a local community college for 1/2 of my senior, and despite all this I was never allowed to take "welding" class because it was a trade.
I like cars, I'd like to restore some old cars and the only limiting thing is I don't know how to weld. I work full time so taking courses locally would both cost money and take time I don't have.
* There is nothing wrong with being an automechanic. Some people kick ass at it and SHOULD go to a trade school straight out of high school, but for some reason this is looked down upon.

Photos of Iran from before the Islamic revolution of 1979. It's happened before and it could happen again.
Every male in your family tree has had sex at least once, so the odds look good for you.
Or use the last half of your data set as blind data. Train the model on 1900-1990 and see if it can predict 1990-2000.
How far can you predict? 1%, 10%, 50%?
If you want to really see how good it is feed it stock market data and see how well it predicts that.

PCMCIA? Modern phones are small enough you could easily fit one into a dual PCMCIA slot.

It's like Judo. You don't have to spin it as strong as the other shaft, just as fast (accounting for friction losses).
Although I can see some 'unintended accelerations' if that electric motor fails somehow, I'd still want a clutch.
