Instead of letting the user decide the slant/bias, the search engine company did it for them, based on geography and search tendancies, with the goal of inflaming politics and causing wars.
But seriously, is editing reality based on already exisiting biases really a good idea?
I'm thinking it will make biased people more biased.:(

Section 3, paragraph 11, about a third of the way down, "Don't be evil."
Hmmm... dont see that section...
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
Nope... Nothing about evil.
Maybe you are thinking about the yet to be released Apache_JEDI license ?
Interestingly enough, in New Zealand (which was among the leading broadband nations in the early days of broadband deployment) most consumers till have a 3 gig limit (@ $39.95).
You can pay more (59$ for a 10 gig limit). Over that and you will pay a lot and will get overage charges ($149.95 for 50 gig with Excess Usage 2c/ MB)
The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris in 1784.
Read the details in his essay, "An Economical Project."
He came up with the idea to save money, as you would not need to burn candles in the dark if you got up when it became light.
I ordered this cd a few weeks ago and installed it last night. It asks for a serial number before the install works.
Itis my understanding that they have blocked the major hacked keys that were available on the web warez sites etc, so you need a (sp2 enabled) valid key
A quick search I did came up with very different numbers.
Eclipse - 45% JBuilder - 16% IDEA IntelliJ - 10% netbeans was well below, at around 6-8%, hard to tell from the graph. all others combined (including netbeans) make up less than 30%
As I was searching for some info about JBuilder, I stumbled across this juicy bit that I had not seen before.
Borland announces JBuilder Roadmap; future will be Eclipse-based
The jist of the story is that in the first half of 2006, JBuilder will ship a new version, code-named "Peloton", which will be completely Eclipse-based !!!
below is much of the article text in case it gets swamped.
Borland has announced their technical roadmap for JBuilder. Later this year Borland will ship JBuilder 2006 which will add shared code and shared debugging features. In the first half of 2006, JBuilder will ship a new version, code-named "Peloton", which will be completely Eclipse-based and add better dependency analysis features.
The shared code and debugging will allow developers in different locations to participate in shared coding and debugging, as though they were sitting down together in the same room.
The Eclipse news follows up from their February announcement of joining the Eclipse board and their intention to re-build their entire application life cycle management product suite on top of Eclipse. Borland sees Eclipse as an integration framework upon which they will be building JBuilder as well as their other products. By leveraging Eclipse, they can realize the cost savings of not having to worry about maintaining IDE functionality, and integration with other Borland tools, as well as gaining a larger audiece via Eclipse and benefitting from the large ecosystem of Eclipse tools.
According to Rob Cheng, director of developer solutions at Borland, the major new addition planned for Peloton will be a dependency analysis feature. It will be able to understand the dependencies between different artifacts in the project, such as the link between JSP's and struts controllers, EJB's and the persistence tier, without the user needing to configure these explicitly or switch views. Debugging will be improved - stepping into different tiers will be easier without end users needing to manually set additional breakpoints.
Code-name Peloton comes from a cycling metaphor, which is used to describe a group of cyclists who can ride faster together than they could individually, reflecting Borland's emphasis on team collabortation features in JBuilder.
Borland has not announced any pricing information, but they are looking into offering a separate 'distribution' of JBuilder on Eclipse all integrated to make it easy for corporate clients to deploy.
Borland chose Eclipse over Netbeans after watching industry momentum and listening to customers who think Eclipse will be their next major platform.
When asked about what their differentiators for JBuilder-Eclipse over Websphere Studio will be, Borland responded that WS Studio is focused on Websphere, whereas JBuilder supports multiple application server platforms.
Luis De La Rosa in his 2005 predictions suggested that Eclipse will become the Java community's answer to Visual Studio.NET, as a de facto IDE; this being a good thing for the Java community, as Eclipse will help build a market/ecosystem for development tools much like Visual Basic, which is the real goal that Sun wants to reach: 10 million developers using Java.
Borland's decision to join IBM in basing their IDE on Eclipse is certainly bringing us closer to that prediction! What do you think?
Not only do I expect moderators to actually read posts and only moderate on ones that they know something about, I also expect that big bugs like this would be caught by soe type of QA process, and corrected.
I can not be the only one to have seen this issue.
Going one step further, I would assume that the meta-moderate function would work like this:
Randomly select multiple post moderations from each topic.
Present multiple copies of each post moderation to a number of different meta-moderators.
Because multiple people are meta-moderating, this eliminates or reduces bias.
To ensure there are enough meta-moderators to make this work, add an actual reward (mod points or something) for meta-moderating correctly.
If your meta-mod marks are wacko (statistically different than the norm) you get no reward or even lose mod points.
If the meta-moderation review shows that the moderation is wrong for a post, the incorrect mod gets removed.
As a moderator, if you mark wrong mods (singnificantly incorrect) enough times, you start losing points or the ability to mod.
The key to getting the posts judged significantly is that many people need to be involved in moderating the same post...
for this to happen, we need to drastically increase the # of meta-moderations.
Why would you say that makes sense for a US firm, other than the fact that many US children celebrate it? It is quite commonly celebrated elsewhere though, so that can't explain it either.
Halloween is "NOT" from the US.
According to wikipedia, Halloween derives from Hallowe'en, an old contraction, still retained in Scotland, of "All Hallow's Eve," so called as it is the day before the Catholic All Saints holy day, which used to be called "All Hallows," derived from All Hallowed Souls.
In Ireland, the name was Hallow Eve and this name is still used by some older people. Halloween was formerly also sometimes called All Saints' Eve.
The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, until it was appropriated by Christian missionaries (along with Christmas and Easter, two other traditional northern European pagan holidays) and given a Christian reinterpretation.
Halloween is also known as the Day of the Dead, and it is a day of celebration for Wiccans and other modern pagan traditions, though the holiday has lost its religious connotations among the populace at large.
Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the pookah, a mischievous spirit.
Also, I have been seeing lots of posts that seem like obvious responses to threads, but the wrong threads, they are then marked incorrectly as offtopic.
I suspect the slashdot article ids are getting messed up somehow and people's replys are getting stuck under the wrong parent.

and why are they calling this broth "beer"? marketing fluff
but can this blender make a good margarita?
One of my websites has "Preview not available" instead of a thumbnail. How do I fix this?

- Their templating engines are much more robust (seperate html from php code)
- Over 40,000 members
- Valid XHTML & CSS Code (CubeCart claims they are the ONLY cart with this feature)
- Simple integration for 2Checkout, Authorize.net, WorldPay, PayPal, NOCHEX, E-Gold and other secure payment companies! (almost 30 supported gateways)
- free to use, low cost to remove their copyright footer
the only limitation is that it is not OSS if you want to see an example site, try http://www.roastyourowncoffee.co.nz/this is the main "other" reason, and is quite plausable...
if you patent it, others cant then unethically sue you for *their* undeserved patent.

A quick search I did came up with very different numbers.
Eclipse - 45%
JBuilder - 16%
IDEA IntelliJ - 10%
netbeans was well below, at around 6-8%, hard to tell from the graph.
all others combined (including netbeans) make up less than 30%
In the light of the recent news that JBuilder is merging code with eclipse, I think netbeans is quite doomed !

wow, I was going to say "are you smoking crack?" but then I realized that would not be nice.
We all fond our tools that we love, and I guess Eclipse does it for you.
Personally, JBuilder seems far suprior to me, espessially their swing GUI designer and the mobile (for phones and palms) support.
Also, I find their database widget support second to none.
toad does more than oracle now
v er.htm
their mysql admin tool rocks
http://www.toadsoft.com/toadmysql/toad_mysql.htm
they also have a sqlserver version now too
http://www.toadsoft.com/toadsqlserver/toad_sqlser
If you use mysql, oracle or sqlserver you are missing out if you have not tried toad.
yes it is a troll. google the text
it was pasted from a post in google groups
