Seriously. Assuming that scanning methods continue apace with other technology, wouldn't a simple hardcopy in easily scanable format be the best longterm storage. Maybe we should be looking at more durable forms of paper with smaller print, more fire-resistant and technology that will scan this data fast. Like a scroll.
Why does long term data storage HAVE to be electronic or digital in nature?
It's really time for someone to create a new system for exchanging online communications.
Honestly, I'm just tired of spending my time with spam. I would like to track down people that have wasted literally hundreds of hours of my time and beat the shit out of them. How about the death penalty for hardcore spammers?
In my experience, event the most plain face can light up in motion. Is it a coincidence that it's called "emotion"? Although it's extremely cool that there's software to check this. I want the 2.0 version... An upscale "Am I hot or Not" website where you can upload your potential date's picture and get a score card.
It's become so pathetic that every score on this page can be predicted based upon how far left the post is. A post about Romney being a business man and tech-savvy gets a Troll score and a stupid post about Al Gore inventing the internet gets a 5?
At some point slashdot is going to become just another crap-fest of left-wing circle jerks where people with other opinions are unwelcome regardless. So much for the party of tolerance.
I don't think "trick" is the proper term to use here. How about "ability". The brain has the ABILITY to interpret tools as an extension of the body in order to use them more precisely and smoothly. This is like saying speech is the brain tricking the vocal chords into vibrating at the proper frequency. There's no trick to it. It's a skill.
And as for scientific studies... this one falls squarely into the "common sense" category.
I liked compusa, and they were the only shop anywhere close to me... I shopped there almost exclusively. Mostly because they had almost anything I ever needed in the computer department. The people were nice, friendly and fairly knowledgeable. And if I hated when they tried to push the extended warranties, well, I've only ever bought one and I ended up using it on a digital camera, so I lucked out.
Fry's is about 45 minutes away. More than twice as far. I'm not excited about the extra commute.
And how sucky for the employees that are learning that they're going to be out of a job just before Christmas.
I've had Comcast for quite a few years now. And honestly, I always hear the comcast-bashing and I expect to see proof of this every time I contact them...
But I'm constantly surprised. They always seem on-time. I can call and talk with someone when I need to. My service has been down twice in 4 years (briefly)... and I work from home on the web so I would know if my internet even hiccups for a moment. I would drop Comcast like a dead rat the second another company comes along and offers me a more comprehensive service, but that hasn't happened.
All this crap I constantly hear and never see... all these people complaining... I am forced to conclude that with Comcast's HUGE customer base, this is starting to sound like the invariable squeaky wheel drowning out the other million smooth running wheels.
This is what the intelligent scientists have been saying for years. There's never been any real successful scientific movement based upon Fetal Stem Cell research, but as soon as you point that out, you're branded by the Leftist Zealots.
The fact that we've integrated a robot into another species strikes me as the most amazing scientific project I've heard of in years. We need to push this to it's limit. Like mammals for example.
Since Linux is more functional and useful, the computer obviously received much more use with this OS than it would have with Vista. That warranty assumes that since Vista is installed, the computer won't be used much and thus, there's less likelihood that the case will break...
Along the same lines... If the RIAA accused someone of piracy and that person had a wireless network, would they be allowed to search all their neighbor's PCs in order to see if someone else took those files using the wireless connection?
Even proof of a crime doesn't automatically authorize a broad net of searches like this.
I didn't notice anything in the article that would indicate that they only took into account drive being replaced due to failure. It seems like this would be common sense, but I'd like some verification that only drive-failures were being included in this "replacement" study.
This whole topic is pathetic and so biased that the mind simply boggles.

How exactly does anyone interpret my quote "CSS.... a really important component of good site design." as wanting to abandon it?

I remember when Flash was the "thing" and everyone went whacky making website completely flash based and how that came crashing down. Now flash is used as an important component of websites.
CSS feels the same way to me. Everyone's on the CSS bandwagon. But ultimately it's going to be no more than a really important component of good site design.
CSS limits design.
Holding on to antiquated spelling is ridiculous. I think it's mandatory to rethink our language and rethink how we spell words based upon the sound rather than some obscure "i before e" philosophy.
Words should be spelled like they sound!
People who are against this are probably the reason why we haven't moved to the metric system in the US.

Isn't it about time to just isolate china for all this activity? Can't we just start banning whole ranges of IP addresses the way ISP's do?

I also find it fascinating that this is being heralded as some sort of break-through when it's almost a step backward from using adult stem cells.

There's simply no reason to believe anything you do online is hidden from anyone.

soooo.... as we slowly understand the human brain more and more, wouldn't our own memory slowly start to fall under this law?...

I still can't watch a meteor shower because of that damn book!
