Does anybody remember the HP touchscreen computer (from back in the Lisa days) which bombed miserably because people couldn't hold their arms up for hours on end? The thing about a mouse or trackball is that a little motion produces a lot of motion of the cursor - without fatigue.
You're confusing the word "metadata" with the HTML tag . In this case (the semantic web) metadata would be in RDF. More clues here. What TFA is proposing is to semantically process and index websites content, rather than have the websites (or a third party) tag the content with RDF. What both of them are lacking is any kind of a universal ontology (or even standardized specialty ontologies).
It's not my argument (I think it's Dawkins). Think about the evolutionary populations. Think tribes. Everyone you knew was some sort of relative. What's good for the tribe is what's good for your genes. Evloution is the differential selection of populations, not individuals. Granted, that doesn't apply today, but I'd argue that we're no longer evolving, just homogenizing.
OK, just to give the atheistic, evolutionary response: altruism is a form of kin selection. If I act altruistically regarding my kin, my genes, through them, still make it into the next generation.
Actually, the quote is "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money", and ironically it's from Everett Dirksen, late Republican (back when Republicans could be moderates) Senator from Illinois.
Blagojevich is the Democratic haircut who was elected after Republican George Ryan self-destructed. For those of you who don't live here, Ryan was convicted on multiple corruption charges and is currently out on bond, pending appeal. Blagojevich recently defeated Judy Baar Topinka, a reactionary Republican hack, for a second term.
Illinois is a strange state. Politics is definetley a contact/blood sport here.
In the rush to complete the project, there was simply no time to change the design."
I know I've heard something like this before. Where could it have been? Where could it have been?
Ah, never mind, I'm sure they'll get it right in rev 2.
They should teach about the Holocaust and also about the denial; impart only information or content; Let the student decide what he wants to believe.
This is not a troll, but a (sadly) funny and insightful comment on the current state of science teaching in the U.S. - it's almost literally a quote from the President of the U.S..
We already have schools ignoring real science to avoid offending radical Christians.
This is an excellent point. In the U.S., we allow Christian radicals to bully our school systems both positively (forcing "Intelligent Design" into science classrooms) and/or negatively (removing evolution from the curriculum).
Breaking News: Animal control was able to tame the wild shaven ape aka "the ballmosapien", by using it's natural mating call "developers, developers, developers!".
"sapien"? In reference to Steve Ballmer? Surely you jest!
Yeah, but "Ballmer Erectus" is just So Wrong (TM) on so many levels...

I was always told that the revolution would not be televised.
How many Library of Congress' is that?
"Intel CEO promises to deliver magical new uber processor within five years".
Stop me if you've heard this one before...
It's called a "normal lens". On a 35mm camera, a 50 to 55mm lens gives a perspective that is equivalent to the view with the unaided eye.
Would you care to explain the Flying Elvi???
That's the funniest product ever. Now if they could just come up with something to keep AOLers away from the keyboard.
That's the one. I remember it came with an app that gave you an HP-12C calculator onscreen where you touched the calculator keys on the screen.
OK, what happens when my cat walks across it?

Finland != Denmark.
What about my old?
Yeah, I took a date to it too. Our 29th wedding anniversary is on Sunday.
I do the same. I'd love to have an editor that allowed you to drag and drop URLs around the way files can be moved in explorer/konqueror.
Indeed that is exactly what I meant. GP's parser needs work.
I guess if your "beliefs" include Holocaust denial, then you're excactly the person who needs a history lesson.
