Not too surprised about this news. Somewhat similar in essence is the case with fruits and vegetables. In past I have come across couple of seedfull black grapes in a whole big bunch of seedless grapes.
You can crack the various personailty test with some practice, especially the written one and even face to face. It is not so difficult to impersonate an expected personality, atleast for hardened ones amongst us.
In my personal experience I have found that true personality comes to surface easily when you approach towards extreme moods - happiness, joy, frustration, bugged and so on. The usual personality testing can't detect true personality easily. One of the reasons being the own biases of the judges, resulting from the theoritical knowledge and/or their own personalities.
You could project a very healthy and positive personality, but if that's only a mere projection, your inner vibrations will effect/influence the people around you in unpleasant ways anyways.
I guess it is more than an year now, when I was trying out some service (possibly search related) at hotmail.com and they had an option about giving some feedback to them. At that point no search engine provided a search facility that dealt with a simpleton querry like - "Where is TajMahal?" and gave more precise answers to this querry rather than loads of results. I had filled in that feedback form, if hotmail search engine could provide such kind of features in (then) near future, it could put it differently ahead of other search engines. No feedback came from them. Well, it couldn't have been expected either as the been-filled-up form mentioned not to expect feedbacks.
feels happy that as a user of search engines I felt a need for improvement there that voila! somebody has even taken steps towards that.
Yup! To give work to this company, P2P s/w have to change their hashing techniques, rather have two hashes for same file. One computed the usual way and another like -
consider one file as composition of many subfiles cat-ted together. based on initial file size compute the order in which you would be computing hashes of these considered subfiles. put together these hashes in some predetermined order (either the order in which you processed subfiles or the order in which these were present in original file) and compute the hash of these hashes. this is second level hash.
each file in P2P network contains now 2 hashes. 2nd hash will aid to confirm the genuineness of P2P file.
second level hashing can incorporate some more parameters to make it more fine for fine-ish friends of ours.;)
I had long since suspected that there was something foul in latest elections in India, where electronic voting machines were extensively used. the way congress won the elections, it was unexpected to everyone, even to congress.
many years back (quite likely before internet era), had read a small article about some inventions of a local indian simpleton where he had demonstrated to some newspaper person, his stove running on water. principles were similar. as per the article water was decomposed and generated hydrogen was used as the fuel.
didn't hear much about that later. the beaurocracy in indian setup is good enough to kill local talents.
I wonder, will authorities like to deactivate the chip even after the tenure is over? May be they want to monitor and blackmail him later, when he goes on to selling secrets..:-)
As a side thought, I was wondering if these electronic chips implanted in his body --
- can damage the tissus around? afterall chips are made of certain material foreign to body.
- can the OS or other software running on these chips can be infected by electronic viruses transmitted over wireless? and then have funny/dangerous repurcussions arising out of that.
what do fellow slashdotters think?
The idea could be extended to show the icon with different levels of grey to indicate how long the user has been registered on the sytem (when was user created)
or
how long the user has been in the current session
and could be other interesting possibilities.
since we don't want to apply different scales of grey on entire icon, we would need an icon revolution;) where icon is organised into hair and rest-of-it . longer the user been in session / older the user is on system, the hair part of icon will be applied with grey factor (some people.. ooopss. icon might have colored hair as well)..
hope to see this in coming edition of kde/gnome and of course if some MS dude is reading this post, in next service pack of windows too.
"Researchers using lab techniques can create a weird relationship between pairs of tiny particles. After that, the fate of one particle instantly affects the other; if one particle is made to take on a certain set of properties, the other immediately takes on identical or opposite properties, no matter how far away it is and without any apparent physical connection to the first particle."
----
Can it always be told beforehand (whether true for all cases) if the other will take identical or opposite properties? Is is controllable/determinable by us what properties the other will take?
If A&B entangled and later C entangles with either of them, will it be considered that all three are entangled with each other? and if any property of A changes it will cause some change in properties of B and C to maintain the harmony b/w A,B&C to a state that was? (ought to be?) before the property of A changed?
On the wondering scifi side, does all the discussion here, seem to point that parallel universes are possible?? One of the Futurama episodes deals with lots of weird parallel universe stuff (entire universe in a box stuff).
I don't understand rather can't (no background on quantum physics) - how can *same thing* happen *instanteously* to two entangled-in-past particles at opposite sides of the universe. Something happened to one, this information has to transfer in some way to other, even if it happens at the speed of millions times speed of light (is is possible that anything travels faster than light does??) it can't be instantaneous!
Looking at the amazing possibillities of trying out many possible solutions at once with quantum physics, I guess it will find good usage with genetic algorithms.

if the company goes bust, it's old employees who worked on that source, will become available too. pay them a slightly bigger slice and attract them to your cause and benefit.
why only kitchen, you can get them in bathroom too.
looking at the Figure1 in the pdf posted arxiv.org , it looked quite familiar to what i have often observed in bathroom, while trying to fill an empty bucket with water, tap being around 0.7 meter atop the bucket base, regulated to yield a continuous little flow. next time i visit there, i need to confirm this. If it is then it indicates antibubbles can be formed without any detergents stuff. or might it be that municipal corporation is supply water with detergents so that citizens can save on soaps etc..:-)
Another way could be to inject liquid inside trapped air in liquid, using some fine syringe. with expertise multiple small liquid droplets can be created inside the trapped air volume by having a syringe filled with alternate columns of liquid and gas, like --
pistonend-[liquid-air-liquid-air-liquid]-needleend
may be this technique helps getting stabler anti-bubbles easily and earlier and might be for longer lifetime? since during antibubble formation the disturbation/movement in the system is much smaller compared to pouring technique.
I was wondering if Dr. dorbole also considered observing fusion of two/more antibubbles? it should look like reverse process of cell-division.
two small cells fusing together to form a bigger cell [considering inner trapped volume of liquid akin to cell nucleus]
have had it working fine for almost five years now, having survived a few falls (not at the lens end) on ground. as a hobbyist i found reasonably affordable as well as with no auto features, to spoil the fun of taking the pictures, saving the temptations. a picture looks more amazing and beautiful when it is a result of your control on various settings. later on managed to get 70-210mm lens for it (Vivitar make, Nikon label was costing almost as much as the 35mm FM-10 bought initially). That also has given amazing results, except that over the years, there is surtle problem in getting sharpness towards the endpoints of range 70-210.

Oh boy! so this kind of plastic going to provide skins for terminator-II or terminator-III ?

just try searching for slackware isos on eMule, eDonkey etc. Couple of weeks back I saw the isos for disk 1 and disk 2 floating there :-)
earlier it used to be - U C what U want 2 C now it will be - U C what U R shown ;)
