I know googles mission is to index all the information out there - and they're on the right track. This is probably a step in the right direction, but IMHO it's too early.
I'd much rather have them to spend time presenting the currently indexed information. It's almost impossible to find information on any piece of hardware these days without having to walk through dozens of pages trying to sell that piece of hardware.
Google, MSN, and Yahoo! will now no longer index any such links
Not quite. What happens is, that the link wont add anything to the site in question. As you probably all know, most search engines rank pages by incoming links - it's not just google. By adding this tag, the incoming link wont count.
I think this is a great idea. It will probably break the w3c compliance, but hey - anything to piss off a spammer.
I wonder if the ISP's will continue selling solutions where the PC is connected directly to the internet. We've all seen the tests. It takes less than 5 minutes for a Windows PC to be taken over (or 0wned as they say). But - a simple router with NAT helps immensly. Would it help if the ISP's were forced to only sell internet access with at least a router?
Quote from the whitepaper: When compressing JPEG files, StuffIt removes the existing lossless compression component and replaces it with a more efficient algorithm.
So - what they have done is developed a more efficient lossyless compression. But - the lossyless compression has never been the force of JGEG. The advantage of JPEG has always been the lossy compression of photos where they take advantage of how humans view an image. This is not in competition with JPEG - more with LZW compressed TIFF.
Their search engine was actually pretty good (it's down right now due to excessive traffic).
It shows details about the torrent like what files are inside, the speed of the tracker etc. Quite useful.
I finished university just before everything had to be object oriented, so I have my base in procedural languages. Granted, I can see a lot of advantages in OO, but why does everything has to be OO these days? Both Gambas and Visual Basic are now OO languages. If I wanted OO I'd chose Java or C++. But what if I don't want OO?

I have two gmail accounts. One is myl33tusername@gmail - the other is firstname.lastname@gmail. Guess what - the latter is now swamped with spam. Granted, gmail properly files them all in the spam folder, but it shows that the spammers are already firing off massive dictionary attacks on gmail.

This could be very useful when you need to postprocess an image - like apply a segmentation algorithm.
Several segmentation algorithms exists. Ususally, they look at the color/brightness of an area and uses that to do the segmentation. Adding knowledge of spatial position to an image will help segmentation immensly. I'm not sure that 3 small flashes is enough. The examples provided are not exceptional - the same results could be obtained without that special camera. Nevertheless, the idea is good.
Hack once, use everywhere.
Seriously - all the sites that I would trust a single-sign-on thingy already have that. I use the same password at all those less important places. (I'll probably get bashed to hell for this, but I'm sure most of you do the same)
I once attended a lecture by one of the designers from AMD. He said, that the clock speed of the processor was a key selling point. In reality, all the development that went into making processors operate at a higher clock cycle could be spent in much better ways, making better and more efficient processors. But - alas - efficiency doesn't sell. High numbers on a package does.
Anyway, does any of you actually have a specific need for high frequency processors? Most of the projects I've been working on always had other bottle necks, preventing me from utilizing the CPU completly.
You rock dude!
When I used google desktop search to remove everything related to "firefox" it didn't find that folder, because it's hidden.
This is written from firefox 1.0. Thanks again:)
I installed 1.0 on my Compaq laptop, and I'm a bit dissapointed. Firefox starts, but then immediately freezes. The problem is not there in 0.9.1.
Anyone else has this problem? I can't convince the folks here at work to switch away from IE if my firefox doesn't work.
I reckon it's some old extensions/profiles/what-have-we, but I've uninstalled firefox completely (and used google desktop search to remove all files that has the words "firefox" or "mozilla" in them) and still - if I install 1.0 again, the same problem appears. It launches fine, but when I try to do anything, it freezes.
Actually, you're more correct than you think. Not only do you have to be outside - you have to be really outside, since the best view would be from Saturn.
You can't see it from Earth due to the planets positions
You can't win the "war" on drugs in Columbia.
As long as there's a market, there will be farmers producing drugs. Not only do the farmers get more money from growing drugs, if they refuse, they will be forced to do it.
Spraying, yanking or what have we will not make a difference.
(This is where I'd place a political rant, but there's been enough political BS on slashdot already. Besides, you all know the drill)
The site is gone, but I read the text from Googles cache.
I don't find it interesting though. What's next, comparing PS2 to Xbox by hammering them with a brick and see how much damage is made?
"The patent is ridiculously broad. It's purely McKool Smith trying to make money"
Actually, I don't want to waste my breath calling McKool Smith names. The big perpetrator here is the patent system and the patent offices who allows these general patents.

Microsofts new "google killer" gives you about a million more hits than google does in a regular web search.
In other news, Al Gore sued Microsoft for infringing his IP on creating the internet.
Sounds a lot like the theory of The Global Village from 1962
