Our ability to focus our attention comes from our ability to suppress competing thoughts. While we are dreaming or in the morning, we are blocking out less thoughts and worries. One theory is that our conscious mind arises from conflicting patterns in our subconscious - so it makes a lot of sense that the majority of solutions to a problem are suppressed in conscious thoughts.
I imagine that taking a break from a problem helps - not because you are thinking about the problem - but because when you return to the problem you don't have so many competing thoughts blocking your thinking. (The same theory can be used to explain the top-of-the-tongue effect.)
Forget moving pictures for ads, and forget just having animation on the front page: a news paper would only need a front page -- with a button for flipping pages.
SOA is basically programming for managers. It pushes the level of reuse up to a management level.
Mark my words, SOA is only valuable if you can identify the business value in each of your components. SOA is not for software architects alone to create - it must be made hand in hand with your business analysts and executives. Otherwise, its just a software play. And like many of you have pointed out, another layer of software is no silver bullet.
SOA can be applied to a human bank teller service as well as it can be applied to an information service: Modularizing any company, weather through software interfaces or business unit interfaces, makes it more agile. Supposedly, if done right, SOA can bring about a very profitable merge between software and the business.
It appears that it is an integer rounding error. Notice how the MS lines line up exactly in the y direction, the x direction, or are exactly 45 degrees -- whereas Google lines are at the correct angle.
The nanowires are incredibly fine, only 3-5 nanometers in width (20,000 times finer than a human hair), but quite durable and more than a thousand times long as they are wide.
In other words, the length of these wires is 20 times finer than a human hair. They sure do work to make these numbers sound exciting!
The advantage is that opening up the underlying data actually promotes buyer lock-in. If they integrate, they are happier, and make the seller happier by locking in more.
At the end of the episode, after he has resolved the problems facing "Enterprise", he will warp through time and space and reappear as George in Seinfeld and attempt to get the series started again.

There are already existing technologies that create the illusion of 3D without fog, mirrors, or any moving parts.
Bug Eye already holds a patent on a display that:
Uses standard LCD screens
Causes the illusion of 3D with no eye-ware, and
Can be adapted for full surround 3D
The only way to do true holography is with (realtime) holograms. With everything else, you have to make some sacrifices.
Computers also inherit billions of years of biological evolution - in the form of our brains. Computer intelligence is an emergent phenomena that will be vastly accelerated by human goal directed selection rather then random natural selection.
The real question is: what is the definition of intelligence? For every advance in computer intelligence (chess playing (ie planning ahead), weather predicting (predicting the future)) we have had to narrow the definition of intelligence.
Eventually as computers continue to advance, I think we'll have to "narrow" humans right out of the definition of intelligence.

Would this be legal? Would publishing the banned list break China's national security?
Actually, since we seem to have access to both searches, it wouldn't be too hard for one of us to do an independent study of the censorship patterns.

Be careful with your arguments, or ID people will believe you are wrong:
not based on direct observation
ID is based on direct observation, it's just not testable.
The Bible is literature, not history
The Bible does, in fact, contain historically accurate events.

It is more likely the number of folds in the brain that predict intelligence, since folds imply a more complex wiring pattern.
This study would probably find a correlation between number of folds and brain size.

I agree. I would never beat a mechanic with a hammer.

Thank you- Your post made me laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes.
It looks like Google has registered froogle.com, so clearly a French version of Google is in the works ... ?

Right. Here you go :)
