Do we need a new internet? Yes, absolutely. My wife informs me that "the internet is down" probably two or three times a week on average.
This happened to you as well?? Eerie. My mom called me to tell me that "the internet has stopped working".
Of course from experience I know that "the internet has stopped working" == "I cannot get to Google". And later I found that yes she was running Firefox, but it came up without any windows open (this is on a Mac, to think I gave my parents a Mac to ease my tech support load..)
Belkin pitch themselves are a premium brand, but their products are actually the cheapest and crappyest on the market.
They're a ripoff. I needed a network cable, and found a nicely packaged Belkin one at PC world: a 10 meter "snagless" cable cost 40 pounds! I left the store screaming and ordered a 5 meter standard cable on Amazon for 2.88...
I was looking for a wallet for my SD cards, but couldn't find one anywhere (I have an Eee with a couple of extra cards (one for backup, one for Slax, etc.)).
I ended up using a couple of sleeves of a coin album page: they're the right size, and protect the cards ok.
Absolutely. Is "Tufte" now mentioned whenever
we see a graph? Tufte is all about high quality
visualizations, not about Excel chartjunk.
This is like saying "in the best tradition of
Beethoven, listen to Britney Spears' new single"
> There are over 85 million GSM subscribers in the US, more than any country in Western Europe.
Now there's a good argument. 85 million is more than any country in Western Europe, because there are no countries in Western Europe with that many people. You probably think the US has the biggest broadband uptake in the world as well? Percentages, anyone?
Go to: http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/search.html/
and select "Protein Database" from the drop down list,
and enter "random" as the keyword.
Next, the "find similar shape" links do full 3D feature vector matching against a database
of 16900 protein molecule models, in a fraction of a second.
But apparently this new method is "1500 faster than anything previously developed"?
Maybe the authors never checked the current 3D shape matching literature?
One thing I'd love to know is this: do handheld GPS receivers interfere with the ones in the plane?
I've been asked to turn off my Garmin receiver several times already during landing, and it's tricky to argue with a stewardess about why I think that such a small receiver (!) shouldn't be a problem...

do a search on "content based image retrieval", and maybe "survey",
and find dozens, if not hundreds, similar systems

true, the Princeton engine has been online since
November 2001. There have been several papers
about it since then.
The shape matching method that Purdue uses is
different though, based on skeletons. This'll
only work well for objects that have a "natural"
skeleton.
Are there any commercial apps like that out there?
Some hidden program that "phones home" every few minutes or so, sending useful info like IP address, does keyboard capture, etc.?
Or activates the microphone and sends the sound?
