What could possibly go wrong? Amazon must have some high aspirations for improving their "AI". More likely, people with more money than sense would discard their own judgement in favor of the whims of a non-sentient corporation and end up sending more money to Big Pharma and further their own demise. Hmm, now that I think of it, that might not be all bad...
Yeah, I thought DynDns was for small-timers trying to avoid paying for static IPs to provide services. Paypal? Hopefully now they will consider paying someone who knows what they're doing to set up actual distributed DNS for themselves. They really should be able to afford it.
Pandora pissed me off with the ads and skip limits (even if you pay), and it was terrible at matching music for my taste (pretty much just matched mainstream genres, from what I could tell). Tried Rhapsody, crappy catalog. Amazon Prime music also had a crappy catalog last time I checked. Admittedly, I haven't tried Spotify, and well... fuck Apple. I was impressed with Google Play music when I found it to be the best at associating artists I like with artists I haven't heard of. But I'm a musician and am generally looking for progressive jazz or world music, so I realize my criteria may not be the norm. I gladly pay 9.99/mo. to listen to anything I want whenever I want and easily (and gladly) buy a song or album when I find something I want to own. The only limitation I've come across so far is Prince's music, but I know he kept his stuff locked down and I respect that. I wish Google pushed their streaming service more, cause I think it kicks the crap out of the others. All I seem to hear about is Pandora, Spotify, and crApple.
This is exactly why my windows machines are not allowed to connect to the Internet. Otherwise they start to think they have a mind of their own, and I have to send them to the basement... indefinitely.
Mod up! That's what I'm talkin about! REAL music can never be replaced by machines because it's about creating an experience in the moment between the creator and the listener. There's a magic that happens when musicians create a kind of feedback loop between each other and an engaged audience -- an interaction that is distinctly human. Machines simply can't simulate that, at least not this side of the singularity.
There will be people who will always crave this. I could imagine a disturbing time when all popular music is electronic and kids grow up without learning that they can actually create music in the moment (wait.. are we there already?), but then one day someone "discovers" this weird feeling they get when they start tapping on a log or a desk or a glass or something, and then they have the "innovative" idea of doing that with other people. They'll never want to stop.
Valve will need to release a kick-ass flagship title (HL3 perhaps?) when or soon after the Steambox is released that is popular enough to get the Steambox into enough living rooms that larger studios will find it worth while to develop for. They probably should release it as a Steambox exclusive at first, too. If they can do that, they'll have a chance at really getting it off the ground and competing with the other consoles. One can hope (if one is of the orientation) that this would result in some additional momentum for Steam on Linux in general and, by extension, Linux on the desktop.
That's what immediately occured to me. I'm pretty sure our brain does important things with the information it gets about temperature (and everything else for that matter). If the brain's perception of body temperature is decoupled from actual body temp, I would think results might be a little unpredictable.
Yeah, I don't know what they're talkin about with this "comet". They already figured out where that glass came from. There's obviously no other possible explanation: It was made by the extreme heat from the rocket thrusters of some sort of spacecraft... or possibly a nuclear explosion caused by the aliens.. But that's it. Those are the only two possible explanations.
Amazing... This is symptomatic of the underlying issue: Too many politicians don't actually believe in the system they are actively participating in. They're in it for their own agenda, will of the people be damned. Any politician in favor of tactics like the Hastert rule needs to be fired for insubordination, as it undermines the whole point of democracy.
I realize this may sound a little naive. I guess it's the idealist coming out. I just don't understand how they justify stuff like this to rational people. Perhaps there aren't enough of us left, and they don't have to.
Actually, more votes were cast for democrats for the House of Representatives in the last election as well. The only reason the Republicans were able to "win" the majority was due to their manipulation of re-districting, aka gerrymandering. Thems is some cheatin bastards.
AWS is an infrastructure. While the benefits of AWS may be a good fit for your application, it takes considerable knowledge/experience to manage it. If all you know is the terminology, you're looking for a professional (or a team of them) to manage this stuff for you. And if your current host can't figure out what's causing your 503s, you definitely need a new one. You need someone to help you evaluate the best solution for your needs and help you implement it. It could be with AWS or it could be elsewhere. While it might be best to hire someone in-house for this, that can be expensive, so a hosting company that can also provide guidance and high end technical support may be what you're looking for. I've heard good things about Rackspace and their managed services, but for a more boutique experience and personal attention, you might check out these guys.
Well, I for one (I think there are probably others) still think Firefox kicks ass in spite of many of the complaints folks have had and would like to use Firefox on android more. Some UI improvements just might make that more likely.

Actually, there have been some studies indicating placebos work regardless of whether the person knows it's a placebo.

This ought to lay everyone's concerns to rest:

Obviously, this guy is just disgruntled. Nothing to see here..

As an american, I completely agree with you.

I believe Softlayer bought The Planet. Fixed it up significantly, too, IMO.

I'm sure it has something to do with DRM, but I really wish they'd both move to html 5.
