Its a safe bet that if your mouse is moving then you aren't reading that area, you are unlikely to be in the small group of people who move their mouse along where their eyes are.
If you copy from that area, they can then assume you probably did read it and it was important.
So basically, they can start ruling out parts of the page that the reader doesn't care about. This isn't as good as the user telling them what they care about, but its still more useful than nothing at all. Given enough time and embed it in the google analytics scripts and you'll end up with a very large amount of data you can use to figure out someones specific patterns when viewing a page.
Its only negative because you're misinterpreting the data, and they know it. If they didn't realize it at the start, they would have realized it just a few seconds into even thinking about an actual implementation.
Its not a negative correlation, its that you're reading the input value incorrectly;)
Right Google? You're going to continue pretending you care about security and privacy and make absolutely sure this isn't on by default.... RIGHT GOOGLE?
What? No I didn't really think so, but fortunately, I'm sure someone else will make sure webkit is safe and chromium can be ignored if it isn't.
Just for reference, filesystems exist due to the need to manage the data and track where it is on disk. You may not realize it or not, but by the time your computers processor switches from real to protected or long mode, it has essentially created an in memory file system so it knows where everything is laid out in ram.
Actually, the more I read your post, I don't really think you understand why all those interfaces exist. The major reason is simple: Standardized interfaces mean reduced cost and complexity with better interoperability. I for one will put up with the SATA and southbridge if it means I can move the drives from a broken mobo to a new mobo. What you're proposing is likely to leave me in a spot with a cheaper and only marginally faster machine that I can't do anything with when it breaks. I loose the data and the machine. Not exactly my ideal outcome.
Something tells me by your post that you don't really need to worry about eliminating women from your sex life, I'm pretty sure they do that naturally do to instinct when you get too close.
Creepy is just as effective at eliminating women from your sex life as anything science can produce.
As a developer who wants to 'make games' for a profit/hobby I don't really care if they pull this crap, its helpful to me.
I don't have a budget, I do it for fun. I'm a programmer, not a graphic artist or sound engineer, no way I can compete with EA on a quality level across the board.
This however gives me a nice easy way people will want to give me a try. $5 for my little game forever, or $5 in nickle and diming so you can play Maddan 2011 for 45 seconds.
People won't be nearly as impressed by my game, but they might still buy it.
EA and THQ want to recreate the profit margins of arcades with none of the effort that went into making an arcade like building it and giving people someplace to play games together. Now they want you to pay for the equipment, they want you to pay for the energy, they want you to pay for the game, then to top it off, they want you to pay per play.
People only have so much money, you won't get more, only less. People aren't going to spend more on games just because you find a new way to rip them off, theres only so much blood in the turnip! They'll just stop paying when they realize how the quality keeps getting lower and they keep getting less and less and paying the same or more.
Let me give you a hint EA and THQ. You've been down this road.
You lost and got hurt pretty badly last time, and now you're doing it again? Welp, good for you, thanks for helping me out.
What? You mean people look down on being nickle and dimed for something?
Really? I never would have guessed people would consider this shady.
'Microtransaction' is just a new name for the same old thing. Its just a way to take your money while tricking you into thinking you aren't spending much money.
Its not a slippery slope and never was, its just a fucking scam praying on peoples propensity to spend a little bit of money way too many times because they don't realize what they are doing.
People have been trying to rip other people off with this scam for thousands of years. The only difference is the primary target is children who generally don't know better and easily fall into the scam.
You miss my point. My point is not that Dragon sucks. Its the best thing on the market, hands down. It works way better than just about any alternative, including some that use its own engine as well!
My point is that medical transcription is generally not using your everyday dictionary. Its a bunch reports with people who learned English as a second or third language using medical terms that are long and complex and generally pronounced and spelled in their latin names, not english. Most people who do transcription for doctors have to get used to hearing a doctor to be really proficient at transciption, but they can replay it enough times to get it right. They also ignore the doctors who do their reports sitting at home, with the TV blasting and the little kids running around screaming their lungs out, all of which you hear on the report.
Go ahead, try talking to Dragon about Doxycycline or dextromethorphan, see how well that works out for you. THAT is what these transcriptions are made of, long medical terms describing the proceedures.
Also keep in mind, the transcriptions listen too and type this stuff in using all sorts of shortcut macros and at 2x the speed or more because they have nice domain specific knowledge. They also know enough to catch obvious mistakes in the reports and report them to the doctor that their MAY be an error to have the report reviewed.
You aren't transcribing an every day email in an ideal setting, its a medical report in what is in most cases anything but an ideal situation.
Shame you spent $500, since I'm betting you could have bought a commercial app with the feature already in it and more for less.
I understand you're supporting OSS, but sometimes thats just stupid and a silly way to try and stick it to the man.
I'm sure you'll now tell me how no other app would do it or that its well worth it to have the OSS app, that you'll have to spend another $500 to maybe get another feature you want.
Pretty much anyone will add you custom features (Microsoft included) if you make it worth their effort, this isn't exactly impressive, you just over paid in exchange for having the source... which you've already learned you don't want to modify. I'm sure everyone else appreciates the feature... maybe, probably not since it probably would have been added already if it was a popular request.
You are most certainly free to make silly decisions.
It merely says at some point "there's no point looking for why here" and that ends science.
Wow, you clearly don't understand religion at all.
Every time science answers a question "why's that, then?" god gets a little slimmer.
Everytime science answers one question, several more result from the answer, I hardly think that goes for proving your point.
And this is an attempt to kill science once and for all.
Wait, what? So its impossible to disagree with certain things without disagree with everything related to it? Thats just retarded.
I'm not for teaching 'creationism' as it is clearly silly as it stands, but you really don't have any idea what religion is, and you're confusing the two as if they are one and the same.
You're being as retarded as the idiots trying to push creationism in a science class. You're both being pig headed, ignorant, close minded fucks.
None of those traits are conducive to good science OR religion and only result in a jihad against the other.
Or everything will be the exact same, because if you were able to travel in time, you would, and you'd be there the first 'time' through anyway. Nothing would be different other than your observation point. Maybe.
EVERYTHING in the universe is interconnected. Once you fully grasp that, time travel and treating time as the 4th dimension really isn't that hard to grasp.
2. effect without cause (because you exist prior to your parents giving birth to you).
You would still have an effect due to a cause. It may be a strange route, but the cause is still you killing your grandfather, regardless of how the timeline plays out. It causes a problem from the logic perspective obviously, but it doesn't magically become different because its hard to wrap your head around.
Work is a 4 letter word, sadly everyone things 'making games is fun'.
Its not for most people, its a job. Too many kids start doing game related course and study to get into the career thinking it'll be this awesome amount of fun, then are completely destroyed when they realize its actually work where they have deadlines and jobs to do just like everyone else.
They are not there to promote one type of business over another.
They are there to educate and prepare our children for the real world.
Your child, having used Windows in school, has a skill that will be useful at pretty much any business in the known world.
Should your child be brought up on Linux, they'd have a skill thats useful if they are a sysadmin, or happen to work for google or redhat, outside of that, its practical value to someone who isn't a computer geek is less than 0.
Fortunately, people like you with such ignorant view points aren't making such policy decisions.
Yes and expecting to get all the features of a $500 device for $200 with no trade-off makes you a rather retarded fuckwad.
People buying netbooks every year are retarded as well considering they haven't exactly changed much since they came out other than a Windows upgrade. The performance today is barely different than when introduced.
So... no one is talking about missing a version, their talking about releasing minor, petty changes as 'new versions' in order to keep up with IE.
In other words. IE releases say 15 new features between 8 and 9. Chrome will be releasing with one new feature in 7, and one in 8 and one in 9, so they can catch up.
Either way, considering its only a couple years old, the version number jumps are ridiculous.
Its just Google pulling a Win95 and trying to confuse version numbers even more.
Yea, and all of Words files are forward, backward, and cross-platform compatible... to an extent.
Its impossible to have a file made with a new feature or new system work in the old software.
You and the blender team have a fucked up idea of what forward and backward compatibility mean.
Forward compatibility is common and usually not that hard. Backwards compatibility is entirely different.
If he said he had to redo his particle effects and other things between versions that should be a clear sign to you that the statement you quoted is entirely untrue.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd prefer the whalers just shot the morons that get in their way.
I'm sorry, I don't think you fully understand the point of a weapon, especially in this case.
A quick painless death isn't the goal, preferably no death and enough pain to stop them from being a problem is what you want.
Its supposed to hurt, cause thats way better than death.

You are most certainly free to make silly decisions.
It still can't be commercialized.
You breaking your phone open is not illegal. Thats what this changed.
You still aren't allowed to distribute any software to do so to other people.
Wow, you clearly don't understand religion at all.

Yes, other people just whine far less.
The game industry is in no way unique.
Work is a 4 letter word, sadly everyone things 'making games is fun'.
Its not for most people, its a job. Too many kids start doing game related course and study to get into the career thinking it'll be this awesome amount of fun, then are completely destroyed when they realize its actually work where they have deadlines and jobs to do just like everyone else.
So you ran a massive bloated pile of crap on an old machine and it performed poorly?
No freaking way? Who would have thought that?
I think you should probably recheck your sources, my FreeBSD 8.0 machines seem to have no problem with this particular nic.
Schools aren't there to promote your agenda.

Wait for sale at BestBuy.
During Sale, go buy $200 nettop.
Or if you don't want the accessories like monitors and keyboards, just pick any random computer store to go buy the parts for an atom PC for $200.
Its not like $200 is a hard target to hit.
