What is it then? Is it because it's an ad supported way for google to deliver ads to more people? I hope google dies. I do not want to see an ad supported future for the internet.
So what instead? Pay to visit sites? Or are you expecting sites to run on fairy dust?
My understanding is that the jump to 3.0 is simply that they no longer want to have the second digit even means stable and odd means unstable versioning any more. So rather than going to 2.7.0 and having everyone assume it's unstable or skipping 2.7.0 and going straight to 2.8.0 just to maintain an old and unused version system, they have went with 3.0.
The article says that the USA as a whole has a lower use of secured AP. So unless there are huge numbers of unsecured APs in the rural areas of America, the large cities (with their secured APs according to this theory) will swamp the results, yet that doesn't seem to have happened.
Therefore I think population density isn't the major factor, and this is bore out by the fact that Sweden and Norway (countries with low density) can come higher than higher density countries.
The densities for the larger European countries are ordered: Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Germany. While those countries were high on the list, it cannot be all there is too it as Spain comes top.
I can't believe I had to look so far for this, what is slashdot coming to?? People seem to be more interested in discussing TFA. Anyway, shouldn't it be: In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the diesel, then you get the women... Because everyone knows how much women love the sweet sweet sugar diesel.
There is a rotating tower in Glasgow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Tower. From day one it had problems with the bearings (not surprisingly), how is this building any different?
Quite simply, the vast majority of them see the reward outweighing the negative side. If they want to do that, good for them.
I would love to be a naïve as you. The reality is that each of these victims are drug addicts, they walk the street each and every night because they have little other choice. They need to pay for these drugs. They can either steal for the money or prostitute themselves.
The only way you are going to stop these women from working the streets is to either pay for there drugs or get them off of them. This is evident from the fact that they continue to work when they know there are 5 women dead and 2 missing.
Please choose the answer which is the square root of 3:
sqrt(2) sqrt(3) 1.73205080756887729352
The correct choice is of course option 2. This is trivial for a computer to work out. It requires parsing the question to find out what's being asked (like any captcha) then passing the question to a symbolic mathematical package (maple. mathmatica, maxima) and selecting the correct choice from the output (like any captcha)
What you are suggesting is pretty much the first problem computer ai was able to solve.
A better question would be to ask something that is hard for a computer ai to solve like.... enter the correct combination of moves to win this chess match... how many people are in this picture...
They also have a uk street map. However the usabily of their map is lower than that of google and yahoo. I'd like also to point out streetmap.co.uk which uses the offical OS maps. It has easily the highest quality (not to mention it looks identical to any OS map you'd buy in a shop) but presumablity is the most up to date and accurate.
I couldn't even begin to imagine the torment of trying to write a well formated Mathematics or Phyics document in word. LaTeX deals with quoting references and citations easily and nothing can touch it when it comes to the formatting equations.
Can you imagine doing
Type "x=" from the keyboard
Choose a fraction from the template.
Select parentheses from the template.
Type "-b" from the keyboard.
Select "plus or minus" from the palette.
Select a radical from the palette.
Type "b" from the keyboard.
Select the superscript from the palette.
Type a "2".
Tab to come down a level, and type "-4ac".
Tab 3 times to move to the denominator, and type "2a".
Instead of $$x=\frac{\left( -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}\right)}{2a}$$ Madness! Madness I say!
In my experience, the time spent in developing the math is less than the time spent in the user interface anyway, so I don't see too much problem in developing the math in C++, if you choose a good set of libraries.
No offensive, but if the maths your doing is easier than writing a ui then you are either doing very simple maths or very complicated user interfaces!
Seriously, if you're implementing an algorithm to solve a 2nd order differential equation using the finite element method or using the shooting method it is hard. Interpreted languages like MATLAB don't exist because people don't want to write user interfaces they exist because the maths is difficult and complicated.
Well., I dont know about matlab. If you were using python, you could have built a prototype first using python., then start optimizing it by converting the bottlneck modules to C++/C.
Yes you can do this, I believe you can even call MATLAB routines from within this code. The question is, is worth it. Unless you really have multiple ways of using the same code in different ways (say an ode solver) then you just end up with one big function written in C++ and the trival code to call this function in MATLAB. If on the other hand you are writing something like a ODE solver that can be used in many different ways you might find this is exactly the way to go. Let MATLAB be the glue.
Bizarrly they even allow paedophilia and pædophilia which are both correct spelling of the word. In fact paedophilia is probably the more common spelling in the UK. So basically it's wrong to want to know anything about paedophilia if you're American.
I wonder which is worse; Linux taking over the world with a reliance on proprietary drivers and software, or Windows continuing to reign with Trusted Computing and DRM just because Linux (the most viable FOSS alternative at this point) is too hard to install because it can't bundle the drivers. I would like to see FOSS improve and succeed; the moment FOSS software matches the ease of use and features of OS X will be the moment that I switch permanently to whatever FOSS distribution is easiest to use. But sabotaging improvements just because of ideological reasons doesn't work. The GNU movement needs to be incremental, not radical.
Both outcomes are the same. In both cases free software has lost and proprietary software is in control. The goal of the fsf is to create a free operating system if that means that you (or even the majority) of people can't use it... so be it. But the people who believe that free software is important will continue to use it on the hardware that supports it. If that means not using NVIDIA or new ATI cards fine. Those companies are the ones that lose out not me there will always be hardware that can run free software and I and many others will buy from them.
Because in a few years no one is going to release code under "GPL2 or any later version". They are going to release it as "GPL3 or any later version". That's when the fun really starts.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep, as opposed to unofficially which basically means he dreamt it.
Officially jail broken? So Amazon have jail broken it?

Sweden and Norway come in the top ten of the chart in tfa, yet both have population densities much lower than the USA.
I have to say I'm disappointed by this. I much prefer the simple interface of the spatial view.
Where was that file I was looking at earlier? Open folder, there is is exactly where it was the last time I was in this folder.
Oh well another simple interface lost to the bells and whistles brigade.
Except that's dealer price not consumer price (from your link!), Amazon are making a loss of 11p on each sale. They confirmed it on the forums
How people say it doesn't figure into the equation.
It sure as hell does when we're talking about speech recognition, or have you forgotten that part of the discussion?
Tea drinks of the world unite! I can't stand coffee, I can't even stand the smell of the stuff. So my favourite way to coffee is to put it in the bin.

Seems reasonable to me. RMS sold emacs tapes for $150 and that was in the early '80s so I can't see a problem with someone charging $94.37 for a DVD.
