they're starting to have success with automatic clustering of concepts, so that pages can match even if none of the words in your query actually appear on the page.
I think what they mean is that they are working on search algorithms that will implement this. Not that they have already made it publicly available. They want it to work first, and be released second. The problem the you have cropping up most likely occurs with pages that put info in the metadata, and hence don't show up in the page itself.
Google's redundancy theory works on a meta level, as well, according to Hoelzle. One literal meltdown -- a fire at a datacenter in an undisclosed location -- brought out six fire trucks but didn't crash the system.
Gee.. I wish our/.ing could do this. On the other hand, they have a level of redundancy and up time many businesses would kill for.
For what it's worth, if you want the best picture quality in an HDTV get a tube, they're big and heavy but they can actually do 1080i.
Na, DLPs are better. And they can do 720p. CRTs still have problems getting to the higher dimmensions (about 50"). I have seen beautiful full res DLPs at 60.
When George Lucas red did the original trilogy onto DVD he used something similar to what you are asking for. It found (or was pointed out to it) the dirt spots and it went a few frames forwards and backwards to see what should be there and interpolated the pixels.
Can you clarrify which part apple "does all the time" and provide links to Confabulator and Watson? I found Audion, but there were a few too many possibilities for the othe two.
It says "appear modeled after". The tobaco lawsuits were run by the State Attorney Generals, these are still run by the Consumer's Attorneys. Just because they are using the same legal strategy does not mean the Consumer's Attorneys are working for the states.
Who decides who gets funded in publicly financed campaigns? The people already in office. Unless you want everyone who decides to run to get several million dollars in advertising. At which point the elections would make the California Gubernatorial process look serious.
You've hit one of the nails on the head. How can the FCC regulate servers out of their jurisdiction? They can't. About the only thing they can do (at best), is go after the groups in the US that are renting those servers.
Although, something tells me that if someone outside the US starts campaigning for/against one politician it may cause an upset. I think it was one of the UKs newspapers that encouraged Uk Citizens to write letters to people in Ohio? And all the backlash that caused (including their web server getting defaced). Oooh, that's another one that's going to be interesing. Political Internet Espionage and Sabatoge. How much is it worth to have the homepage of a candidate up vs. a DDoS?
In short, because Apple doesn't (usually) try to drive out a competitor (that charges money) providing a similar product. And they provide fully documented APIs so that their products do not have a leg up on their competitors. They also don't intentionally break competitors apps while theirs amazingly work perfectly (either through manipulating security updates or file formats).
The only time Apple has ever broken apps from reverse compatability was from OS9 to OSX. And they warned everyone about that ahead of time and provided info on what the programmers would have to do.
Personally, (after having used Intel, AMD and Apple), I'd say the best Flops and Mips as a generic measure. Unfortunately, that still doesn't come close due to all the other problems that can come up. So, say a couple of benchmarks on programs that do testing of those two. Say, distributed.net for the mips (or something similar) and MPEG2 Encoding (at a specific setting) for the flops using, oh say, Tsunami MPEG. And add in LameMP3 encoder for a combination of the two? And PovRAY for something else?
There's no one real benchmark for testing raw cpu power as it mostly deals with what you are doing. It's mainly a matter of benchmarking it with whatever application you are going to be using it for.
The number of times i've BSOD'd XP. I've lost count. But it's definitely fewer than on 2k and 98. Of course, I've also crashed Dos, Linux, Macs and a standalone DVD player once. Come to think of it, the only OS I haven't crashed is Sun's Solaris and OSX. Course, I haven't had much time on them yet
The only thing 'unique' about the BBC's taxation mechanism is that, for the most part, it is socially unjust - ie, the tax is the same no matter what a household's level of income is.
Be carefull about this. Otherwise this could be applied to other things. Use the rail? Lets see, you make twice as much as the next guy, so we are going to charge you twice as much. Car taxes, lets see, you and him both drive the same car, yet you make twice as much, so lets tax you twice as much. See the problem?
On a slightly different note, I personally would favor an absolutely flat tax for income (with no deductions (aka loopholes) at all. That way everyone pays the same proportional amount. Also, you don't have to worry about the tax brackets moving with inflation.
Consumers' attorneys across the nation have begun to target the alcoholic beverage industry, filing lawsuits that claim that some leading brewers and distillers are using slick advertising to sell products to underage drinkers.
It's regular people who are sueing, not the DAs. The feds and the states lawyers have nothing to do with this.
It is a Kerosene derivative, but it also has some other things in it as well. Even pure kerosene isn't something you want on your skin or that you want unwittingly dumped on the ground.
What's wrong with dumping the excess fuel before landing?
Jet fuel is somewhat hazardous to your health. Think along the lines of dumping gasoline on the ground. It also burns on contact with skin (as in it stings the skin like an acid, I don't mean that it burns chemically).
The only time I have heard of anyone dumping their fuel on purpose is when they were about to make an emergency/crash landing (without landing gear cause it was stuck, or because of some other problem).
And honestly, removing this "feature" might improve accuracy and security. Make the face recognition more fuzzy, and depend on muscle memory to make people hold the camera in a generally similar position every time they take the picture. That might be kindof hard to forge, and it might *help* the process.
I was thinking along these lines as well. Hold the camera in your left and at an upward angle vs some other and make sure that you only need to get approximately the same direction to make it work. Making it harder for the people you don't want to access the system is a good thing and it would only slightly inconvienience the people whith legitimate access. This seems like it is along the same lines of using higher key lengths in encryption.
Oh yeah, looks like it's time for you to change your password.
Revelations, 16-17: It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads, so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast's name or the number that stood for its name.

In the UK they have used this type of technology at sporting events to identify trouble shooters (guys that generally start riots at more than one game). They then re-verify those identified manually. Works pretty well whith people walking in a hallway into a stadium. And on tens of thousands of people as well.
Considering that most camera phones are 1 MP, How accurate could this possibly be ?
Depends on how close the camera is to your face. Say in the photo your face takes up the entire image, and that we are dealing with a square photo (1000x1000 pixels) Your entire head is about 8 inches tall (quick estimation here) so that's over 100 DPI. That's pretty good, all things considered. It's not photo quality, but it will provide a pretty good photo. As most programs work off of the location of your cheeks, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and other parts that do not move, all it needs to do is establish thee reference points in 3D space. One of the problems is getting past the parts that change (facial hair and face expression). That is where the hardparts come in.
Omron claims that the camera need not be held in the same position each time, and that the sensor will detect the owner regardless of the location of the user's face in the frame.
Given the current state of computers, I wonder how they can do this. If I take a picture of my face from the front right as a reference, and the next time from the front left, how will it stil recognize me? Same goes for a number of different angles. I'd also think that haircuts, glasses and a few other things could mess this up.
Be interesting to see how well it works in the field instead of in the lab. Anyone here have access to Akibahara for when this is released?
Is that this will be going on for at least 2 years. And then it will be down to 5. The only thing that is going to knock some of these artists out is some for of accident to their person or a sever server failure..... Uh... Shall Slashdot Slashdot those Slashdot wants to lose at update time?

To your point, Film runs at 24 frames per second, not 26. At least in the USA anyway.
Also, you can paralelize the operation using more than one scanner which they probably are doing.
For what it's worth, if you want the best picture quality in an HDTV get a tube, they're big and heavy but they can actually do 1080i.
