so, with your theory, we take 2^n spiders, put them 2 by 2, and let nature take it's course.
We repeat with the remaining spiders until we have one huge spider left !!!
Your speech-to-text system isn't the only problem.
The system must be able to recognize the specialized vocabulary you're using.
I don't know what your working on (bacteria, virii, gene sequences, proteins, clinical trials, medication,...) but a lot of the words you're using won't even be in a regular dictionary.
I find this a very odd comment.
Usually, it is not the IT staff that decides that users should be restrained at using their pc, it's a business guideline in general.
Also, in our company, ppl can install software on their computers. Guess who's mail server got black-listed because some Project Manager clicked the wrong link and turned his computer into a spam server?
Sure, some users are very tech-savy. As tech-savy or even more than the IT crowd itself. I'm sure you count yourself as one of these (and it may very well be true), but not all users are in your case.
Last week, a user came in, because she got a e-mail telling her to click a link because "a virus was found on her computer". Oh noes !!!! I have a virus, better click the link !!! That's how stupid the users are. Not all of them, but you only need one to click the link to have important customers of yours finding your mails going directly into their SPAM folder for the next couple of weeks.
And I'm not talking about dumb users. These are all PhD's I'm talking about.
Isn't google thinking of moving some data centers to colder places to save on cooling expenses?
However, you have to keep the temperature above freezing point, otherwise you'll have condensation and humidity problem.
I agree, your post was about ridiculous high fees for a broadband internet connection.
6k$/month for 2 mbit is indeed ridiculous, especially for a trade free country/city that wants to attract more business.
My goal wasn't to bash Dubai just for the heck of it, I can only applaud the incredible progress they have made in just a couple of decades.
The movie Syriana has some nice quotes about middle eastern countries that just thrive on their oil, and Dubai is actually debunking those.
However, the nice artificial islands are in sharp contrast with the reality of how all these got made.
I just checked Facebook and MySpace and both already have advertising on their pages (probably somewhat based on your profile).
What's the difference with adding advertisement on those popular profiles? they already have advertisements on them!
That Tom dude on MySpace is gonna make a ton, though:-)
Forget about the "reasoning". The agreement is about creating standard ontologies in different fields (contexts).
Personally, I think it will be very difficult because first they will have to gather experts in all those fields (may it be biomedicine or business processes) and define a way to express all this knowledge. Of course, OWL is the ontological language to use, but they will need a serious bunch of guidelines to keep the model consistent.
There must be tons of alternative endings.
Makes me think of those adventure books where every paragraph you decide yourself which turn the story is taking.
I've been a user of a forum about running for a long time (runnersworld.com).
Suddenly they changed the software, and responses to a topic where suddenly sequential and not threaded (tabbed), which caused a vast majority to emigrate to another board that had a much better overview of the posts, and who replied to who.
Maybe censorship is not the only pointer.
In the documentary "some kind of monster", Lars was explaining that he wasn't against the whole file-sharing thing per se.
What the lawsuit was about, was that someone leaked their album (or a song, don't remember) out of the recording studio before it came out AND distributed it through file-sharing.
But suddenly, the story grew over their heads, and it became this big Metallica Vs. Napster thing, when it was really about Napster (or ppl through the Napster p2p network) distributing a song that they didn't release yet.
This doesn't seem to be the moonwalk patent, but a patent to fly someone around stage.
You don't need special shoes to do the moonwalk.
Nice patent nevertheless;-)
about the posts with "their - there" mistakes and such.
I admit most ppl posting here or reading slashdot are probably college material.
But that doesn't mean they all have English as their mothertongue (Dutch-French here;-)).
Not only US citizens post on these boards.

oh no, I totally understood this GITS reference. You totally shattered my state of denial about being a nerd.
more like a hip hop star, apparently he was doing the "Up In Smoke"-tour.
Must be a snoop dogg ancestor.
sure, that's what they said they've found. I wonder what happened with the other 30 kilo ;-)

Or maybe one was female and the other was male ?
I'm deeply sorry for the your/you're mistake ;-)

> It does have an oil industry and the people who live here are justified in using it to improve their living environment, are they not?
yes, but not at the cost of Chinese and Indian slave labor. http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/11/dark_side_of_du.html

what about Yahoo! a couple of years ago? isn't that a "US-owned" company?

oh no's, I was wrong, this is a patent for the special move of 'leaning forward' without falling. used in smooth criminal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_Criminal
