From TFA: "I think geeks are intelligent enough to be wary of the idea that an attractive woman is interested in them," he said. "They aren't as drawn to beauty as they are to intelligence, and wouldn't just accept a ditz."
Yea, we prefer ugly gold-diggers.
It takes the right kind of girl to love a nerd
Now that's the understatement of the year.
For a modern girl who is far from ditzy, the geek could be the mate who brings security and a load of eclectic interests to the relationship
"Hey babe, wanna see my collection of Linux distros?! I keep them in a rack made from an old 80s Mac case..."
translation memory is only as good as the translator whose work is being reused
The same is true of machine translation software programming.
Besides, professional human translators are still superior to machines.
Which is why in TM programs, less than 100% matches have to be approved...
In a perfect TM database building environment, each translations would be proofread and approved by a couple of other qualified people before being added to the software memory.
I'm a translator, and I'll be impressed by machine translations the day a computer can translate a joke so that it's also funny in the target language.
IMO, the future of written document translation lies in translation memory software, which records pairs of syntactic units as documents are translated, for future reference.
If such pairs come up in a future translation, the software can auto-replace those syntactic units within a specified tolerance, which in turn accelerates the translation process.
The 12th step was stamped top secret by the government authorities who don't want people to know to protect their brains from mind control satellites with the help of tinfoil hats.

I use Firefox and I can use Google Maps without any problem.
I think the grandparent had it right... the havoc (pirated files) is already there in the mind of the *AA, so they're trying to wreck it.
Since your eyes are so sensitive, I would advise you to avoid watching the media tomorrow, as some of them may report on the [NSFW]
Staying away from your downtown core area is also advised.
if the PS3 can run Linux, and if someone writes a Xbox 360 emulator, we'll be able to compare which console really is better...
I think. ^_^

You don't have fair-use in Europe...
So what happens if you *are* taking a photo of a copyrighted object in a public space? The police arrests you?
yea but you can take photographs of stuff that's outside without having to ask permission...
I would think that this new google thing would be allowed, but then again, google is a for-profit endeavor, so...

I was going to have my dad buy an iMac in the next month to replace his Compaq laptop, but now I don't know what the heck I'll advise him to do.
How's about a Walmart Linux laptop instead?
we can create computer zombies who'll seek out those brains in order to eat them!
I would say the public is entitled to at least have access to the user's, maintenance and other available technical manual(s).
As most of us know, electronic devices have +/- tolerances that could very much affect the outcome of a police measurement.
For example, I remember reading in a tech manual that radar speedmeter readings can vary by as much as +/- 5%.
It's not much, but it could make the difference between no fine, or a smaller and a bigger fine.
Consoles, similar to Macs, have one fixed configuration
So why arent Apples dominating the personal computer gaming industry?
That's a lotta current in square waves being fed into coils. Mucho RF interference
How fast do you need to go to produce EMPs with this car?
Of course, by those standards, most Americans must be addicted to work, sex, and TV as well
And coffee.

Mr. Ferren has been a leader in movie effects, working on such films as "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier..."
It would figure that he would pick a business partner that looks like Spock's brother
as AC pointed it out, he did lose an eye.
:P.
And to the moderator who modded me down, WTF?! It does look similar
Ok, well maybe except for the big holes in the hull.
reminds me of the one that Steve Austin crashed in the Six Million Dollar Man tv program intro...
Dyhadration, maybe, but didnt they have fishing gear aboard?
I mean, you re going on a seafaring expedition, cant you fish some extra food along the way?
