Machine translation was first attempted in the 1950s.
Interestingly, I've noticed that a lot of people use Google to translate their texts, and then send those to me for proofreading.
In these people's minds, they are saving time and money, when in fact they most often are wasting both.
Thing is, Google is more like a translation memory, matching pairs of syntagms that are already translated.
What makes people stupid is they don't know how to use this tool, mainly because they can't determine if the matching syntagm pairs regurgitated by Google are good translations.
It works for ordinary people browsing foreign sites, but for professional purposes, it's mostly useless.
All you basically need is a solar water heater array, some tubes, a pump and a secondary water tank.
The sun pre-heats your water, stores it in a water tank that feeds your main water tank.
You'll save on your energy bills whether your water heater works on gas or electricity, and it'll pay for itself quicker than any other renewable energy rig out there.
It even works in cold weather if you get a properly insulated solar box.
It's also against the law - the contents of the hard drive belong to the estate.
If it's pirated pr0n (or other pirated media), the estate definitely does not own it and can be deleted.
If it's self-made pr0n, sure, the estate would own it, but how awkward would that be? (Or not awkward, you never know)
If I was in the position of the password cracker and I found some self-made pr0n, I would at least put it all in one folder and label it accordingly, so that the estate can delete it all in one go if it's too unpalatable to them.
because chances are that if they are more advanced than us, they will exploit us in some way.
And if we are more advanced than them, we will exploit them.
I think it's more likely that, in an evolutionary time-frame, we'll colonize our solar system (and beyond), and extra-terrestrial humans will evolve in different directions and become the "aliens".
People will not pay whatever the beer industry charges.
I remember reading a Newfoundland drug enforcement police officer's comment once to the effect that beer and spirits stores profits were up whenever the police managed to put a big dent in the illegal drug market.
If they want "smaller" delays they need to keep the "bigger" ones off the damn plane. I can't stand flying with fat people
Or they could sort flights according to passenger size.
Imagine the savings the airlines would get if they packed fatties in cargo planes (like an Antonov An-225) and kids and midgets in smaller private-sized jets!
On Dell Canada's website, comparing the Ubuntu laptops with the Windows ones, on average you get better specs and in some cases, more components if you get a Windows one.
In the case of the Ubuntu Inspiron 1525N, it's 100$ more expensive than the Windows Vista Inspiron 1525.
I called Dell Canada and the customer rep was at a loss to explain it.

No, silly, the article is wrong. Humans were responsible for the little ice age, not the sun!
Humans did burn a lot of whale oil at the time...

there is someone arguing it wasn't illegal:
Why didnt he use 7-eleven defense? They're pennies for everybody!

Your next mission is to go knock over a dustbin, in Shaftsbury
I installed Hardy Heron on my windows box this weekend, however my wife's been too busy to sit at the computer yet.
I would've loved to describe her reaction to you guys in this thread... maybe in the next one!
Unobtainium still hasn't been found
On Saturday they handed over information on everyone
Including information on the police, the lawyers, the judges, the politicians and their favourite prosties...

So I guess that moon weed is some good stuff huh?
Just imagine the potency of moon shrooms!
Coffeemakers don't suck!
No, but vacuum baggers do... and if it has the attachment for mason jars, I bet you could out-gas your beans pretty easily.
I'll try it with my next batch.
In that case, here's a link to the actual coffee shop that runs the Javabot
the questions to Vyas about bias, Skewz and Blewz, didn't rhyme...

You'd better make sure that we're properly dead before you start ol' Ripbeak!
with all those UFO hoax photos then... /I want to disbelieve
If they can't have a freezer, couldn't they bring real ice cream (and other freezer kept foods) and keep it outside in the shade?
But eventually, the Transparent Society would be replaced by the TMI Society, and the goggles will still do nothing.
a family of rats with a side order of cockroaches, please?
Spell of Silence on all the trolls!
RIP, Gary.
...is how to prevent rubbernecking.
It cause jams in BOTH directions.
