Let's say you have free text, and you annotate it with inline xml tags.
If you had to build an Information System where you could search a set of documents based on annotations, the only feasible way is to have these documents in some kind of repository, with tags indexed.
An xml database for example.
It would be easy to include author information into these annotated xml tags (in an attribute for example), and also to make a search function available where multiple users could search the repository based on these annotations.
Hey, it's just a classic 3-tier server-client system with an xml database on the data layer.
I'm pretty sure this setup is common in A LOT of current applications, prior to the patent filing date, so yes this would be an incredible broad patent!!!
Sure, most hackers don't have a personal cluster at their disposal to really test the limits of their BigData, web-scale and - insert buzzword here - deployment. There are however a some free 'cloud' alternatives (PaaS) (OpenShift by Red-Hat for example: http://openshift.redhat.com/ that give you the opportunity to play around a bit.
I registered for a couple of free online Stanford classes that were supposed to start yesterday (Machine learning, NLP, game theory). All were delayed for an indefinite time (couple of days to couple of weeks, no exact number was given). Might this be the reason?
the tenure of the article is much different from the title.
The Author is actually refuting what Eric Schmidt is saying. The recession DID hit Silicon valley.
Maybe not Google or Apple, but I know people that saw their salary cut by a good margin and houses devaluate in San Jose by around 20-30% in 2007/2008.
Sure, it's not the all-out crash, but on a 1 million $ house, that's still 200-300k.
And that's for those who were lucky to still be employed.
It's not because of a recession that some people and companies can't thrive (plunging stock markets are a candy store for short sellers). My company (senior software developer speaking) had a record-breaking year in 2011 for example. But I'm sure that's not the norm.
I live 60 km (37 miles) from work. I've had my car (a small efficient Diesel) for over 2 yrs (75.000 km / 46.600 miles) and I didn't have to change my tires yet. The profile on them says I still got a good 20k to go. How are you gonna tax this unless you charge 500$/tire?
We are ALREADY severely taxed on our car usage, it's called FUEL.
have you seen the pictures of the FoxConn factory in China?
They have housing buildings for their workers, where they can sleep 8 ppl per room
They also have "suicide nets" around the building so ppl wouldn't jump off
You want that in the US?
> cheating has declined about 70 percent, says James Mason
And how do they know the absolute number of ppl that cheated? both now and in the past?
I think what he really wanted to say was: "we're catching 70% less ppl cheating after this system has been implemented and known to the public".
I hope they are less liberal in interpreting the stats coming out of these cheat tests than in communicating to the press.
> If you've ever sat through a class where philosophers have sat there talking themselves in circles about how an object can't both be is-a and has-a at the same time, you (if you're like me) feel like leaping up and just telling them to fucking encode whatever paradox they're trying to create in a object hierarchy, and be done with it.
You mean an ontology, well defined in description logic?
By following the rules of the Film Actor's Guild(F.A.G.), the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the fag way. One day you'll all look at the world us actors created and say, "wow, good going, fag. You really made the world a better place, didntcha, fag?"
yeah exactly!
And how hard is it to get an operator job in a call-center?
If someone really wants information low-paid operators have access too, how about getting a job there and have access to whatever you like?
Or Bellsouths way of calculating the E911 Document's worth of $80,000 when the same information could be found in a technical catalog available to the public for a couple of bucks.

I went to the history page, but there is no "remove all Web History" button or menu-item. Am I screwed already? did they remove the option?

What about people who don't live on campus, but just attend a college close to home?

If anything, it's a success story for MySQL.

the form clearly says you must be in the US to get the chrome pc. they are in France. FAIL!
This sounds like an easy way to copy installed proprietary software?

If it contains some compression you better send it to the math department instead of the art department.
Just e-mail me your research and I'll write it up in a nice scientific paper.
