She might be the biggest Wikileaks loser. It could cost her the presidency. As embarrassing as the comments about royalty, tyrants, and French presidents, they aren't going to cause as much trouble long term.
So, who will control the breeding? I suppose we will continue as we already do, but every time I read a story like this, I want the good guys to be in charge.
Many times, the little label your parents attached to you is the least valuable bit of data in the database. Demographics, credit card or ss#, even home address are more valuable. I don't care who I'm robbing, I just care if he's got lots of money and leaves his house unguarded.
Has nothing to do with your privacy settings. It has everything to do with clicking on an ad that only a member of a targeted group can see. If you can click on the ad, you must be a member of the target group.
Maybe he does but an ohmmeter making a beepy sound works better on a video than a voltmeter showing a goose egg. Going to all that trouble without that satisfying beep would have been a waster of a beautiful Jersey day. He demonstrated an idea, but I'm not sure he proved anything. His smelting seemed a bit problematic, too. At best he proved continuity, but even there, I havve problem. I could only see the red probe. Where was the other? This was art not reality, as long as the audiance gets the comcept it doesn't have to really work.
That was the sad part. He meter was set to measure ohms, so he was simply measuring the continuity of his "battery". If he was actually stranded in the wildernss of New Jersey with nothing but an ohmmeter, he could have made his beeping sound without all that smelting and bowing and tuber gathering.
That is a good question. Half of us only have two digit IQ's. Of the rest, most didn't study data mining in college, or their minds just don't work that way. That is not a character flaw. In fact, the word would be a nicer place if everyone could be so naive.
Don't post anything you wouldn't want all your friends to know. Remember that you have friends you don't know about, the one's who pay FB to be your "secret friends". Isn't it nice to have so many friends?
Facebook wouldn't be worth much if it was private. With all the Zuck stuff in the news lately, you would think people would know that. What do they think he sells?
I read the article, but I'm okay, I read it before slashdot picked up on it. The writer of the article is a professional writer, but he claims he makes more money trading books. In fact, if he really works 80 hours per week trading books, I'm not sure how he writes. I don't feel sorry for him, but he has a right to make a living. In fact, this article gives him a good chance of spending more time writing and less time trading books. It's getting a lot of exposure. I'll bet a lot of folks are thinking about buying a scanner now. That will harm his scanning business. But, editors will read his article and consider buying more words from him. Isn't that what he really wants?
Oh, the college kid can do the same thing if he wants. Young people with low living expenses and flexible schedules have advantages, too.
The asymmetry described in this article is backwards from the norm. And the man is scanning on the merchants turf. Those are the only reasons he should feel uncomfortable. Normally, the merchant has better information and sets prices that will keep the business going between two constraints, he has to make a profit, but he doesn't want to charge so much that people shop around. The merchant already knows what he can get from amazon or abe. It's the customer who is supposed to be in the weaker position. What we have here is a competitor, not a customer. He is buying simply to stock his own store that happens to sell on the internet instead of a shopping center. The information is balanced and that makes life harder for the merchant, who, in many cases is also buying and selling on the internet.
Libraries might be different. They have the technology, but their normal business isn't selling books. The book sales happen only a few times a year and they may not find it worthwhile to borrow and reprogram the scanners used for their primary purpose of loaning books. Even so, the guy with the scanner is willing to pay the price, it isn't the library that is getting cheated. The only person legitimately feeling cheated is the browser who finds the collection has been picked over before he got there.
I guess all the "i showered" "I dressed" "I got in the car" "I drove to work/school" ect... tales of peoples' day just arent *that* exciting
The day you didn't tweet "i showered" was the day I didn't come in. the day you didn't tweet "I dressed" was the day I brought my camera. No all responses are verbal.
This is an example of someone measuring something that is easy to measure and then making statements about something that they haven't measured. They did measure how long the volley was, but if a response wasn't made within twitter, it didn't count. Since so many tweets send you to the senders blog, a lot of responses probably get made in the comment thread. Or, maybe most people use twitter to make announcements, not conversations. So the methodology described in article doesn't measure a lot of valid uses. It only measure one use, short messages that can be replied to in an asynchronous manner with other short messages. When something get interesting, it's taken to a blog or email, someplace where the length isn't so limited. A lot of tweets simple are links to someplace else. I don't have a problem with the length limit. It is the defining feature of twitter. But, after the announcement is made, it only works for really simple conversations. Maybe someone should analyze how many tweets contain links? Maybe someone should click on those links and see if they discover real people having real conversations? Analytics can't do that. I takes people to conduct that sort of study. I RTFA and it appeared to be done by people who only wanted to draw conclusions based on metrics that they could program the system to measure automatically.
Please don't ban me or kill my karma. I just read the article. I could not find the line about most twits not being able to engage in meaningful whatever. That was the thing in the summary I disagreed with. They should only conclude that if measuring of response rate is a good proxy for meaningful use. The overall tone of the article made it seem they were evaluating the effectiveness of a messaging system, whereas twitter, as i understand it, is an announcement system. I don't tweet because I don't have a sense a humor that would allow me to be called a twit. I do facebook, and my status doesn't always get a response on FB. But, I'll bump into someone in real life or receive an email, and it's clear they've been reading my status.
Print runs are a lot bigger than back in Alexandria's day. The authors themselves probably have plenty of spare copies of even good books. If the Bodlean burned, they could just sent out a general request that all authors or their publishers send another copy.
Dude, get your units right. You can't express miles of shelf space in libraries of congress. The international unit of length is the football field. Not to be confused with the football field as an unit of area.
If just one of the third parties adopted as its #1 plank to convert our voting to some sort of preferential system, and all the others through there support behind it, I'd vote for them no matter what the #2, 3, etc planks. This is easily the biggest problem our country. We have career military, beaurocrats, and diplomats who can keep those departments rolling along under any leadership.
Or, if sneakiness is the best strategy, a preferential voting thingy can be embedded in a bill to do away with the Electoral College. The only argument for keeping that relic around is tradition. This would be one way of putting it to good use.

Poor baby, I noticed this ignored post. Posted on Monday, now it's Wednesday. So I'm replying. Does it make you feel better?

You can make multiple instances of the real thing with only one real tank. Just drive it back and fourth awhile.
I dunno, wouldn't a flying tank be scarier? I mean, it's so improbable, a real surprise.
"can pick out the pop of a bubblegum bubble in the middle of a basketball game"
whatever that means. I think it means the author is more interested in sounding clever than making sense. Don't you just hate that?
Do the players really chew while playing? And why would anyone want to hear it?
Yeah, it's the acceleration that does it, not the speed. Freshman physics for engineers.
But they were married. When married people do it, it's not interesting.
I'm glad I'm not the only one, identical twins, hooking up, in space! Wow!

Lucky you, she must not have every unauthorized biography and "reference" book.

Is that a hundred yards or a hundred meters?
