I completely agree with you. I just moved and installed a 802.11b wireless network in my house. It IS useful when I want to sit upstairs on the couch and surf or in the backyard. However, I still did run a RJ-45 cable into my room because I use my other computer to backup large files and wireless just does not cut it. Although I don't notice it while using Torrent, for big file transfers over the network the good ol' cable does the job best.
I just moved to a new highschool for my senior year and signed up for a java class. I was pleased when I found out that the computers in the lab have Firefox (and OpenOffice) on them. I guess word is spreading, even though most CS type teachers are probably nerds too...
Although, you learned English already knowing French a very similar language. French (or what I know of it) was very easy to pick up for me because it is very similar to English in a lot of ways. However, if I knew only arabic languages, it would be a lot more difficult.

I agree with you, these people are commiting a common fallacy.
Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
The band Radiohead used to 'leak' their music onto the internet before their CDs officially came out. This created hype for their CD and got people interested. It's pretty hard to know if it was Newsweek or Jobs behind the leak. Obviously he took a picture for a major magazine holding the thing, so he's not too worried about it. Just a thought.
I was just thinking, do they do a good job of sterilizing these probes they are sending there? We could be introducing certain bacterias (not sure about them surviving) to the planet. Just wondering..
You're completely right. I just got my laptop yesterday (first experience with wireless) and right when my computer booted up it told me there was a wireless network I could connect to. Now, I knew this was unlikely since I turned my routers access point off, but sure enough someone who lives near me has an open wireless network. I took (minimal) security measures when I put my wireless network up , but it's still a lot more than these people... Free internet!
I have no idea if this fits into the machine learning category, but it's something I've noticed and wanted for awhile. Sometimes when I am reading long texts online I can't read the thing in one sitting, so it'd be nice if I could set a 'bookmark' within the page so that once I revisited the site it would scroll down to where I was previously. To be more machine learning, the browser could remember where I was on the site and bring me to it automatically. This would be a nice feature.
I was using Mozilla yesterday to try and access a site (which was down). When it didn't work, my little brother told me to "use the real internet" (he meant IE) to try and access it. This just kind of shows how some people think that IE is the only thing out there...

there might be a reason why those people are at Stanford.
And it's definitely not their webdesign skills.
You're acting like porn in your car is a bad thing.. You must not be from around here.
That is right-wing? I must be very far out of the loop.

Who are these MIT guys anyways and what do they know about anything? Ha!

It takes a lot more effort to make a post complaining about it than to just find it yourself... IMO.

I know a lot of people have said this is just in time for Doom III, but I think this'll be good for Duke Nukem Forever [In Production].

Mine was a joke too. Joke's on you.
My budget only allows that to be grams...
No, that's probably just cause the link was posted on Slashdot.

You'd have to mic the other teams dugout so when they start cheering you know something noteworthy happened.
