How long until someone (i.e. everyone) figures out how to fool the algorithm and exploit the system so that their blog posts show up every single day on the front page of the "Boxxet"? Unique word count has got to be the most naive algorithm out there. Remember in the nineties when every web page had a list of three thousand keywords at the very bottom of the page to fool the search engines of the time?
All "Ajax" means is that Javascript now works. I used to accomplish the same tasks (i.e. asynchronously send/receive bits of data, dynamically update tables without refreshing the whole page) using hidden frames and javascript submits back in 1999. Javascript now has built-in functions to do this so it's less of a hack, but I don't think that it merits a whole new buzzword.
Then again, I guess it's something for new startups to tout and investors to latch on to, so maybe it's more of a business/marketing buzzword than a software/technology buzzword.
My first thought was "How can you track clicks with a ping?". After RTFA, it's not literally a ping to some server, it's a request to a URI, most probably an HTTP request that will contain request parameters indicating what link was clicked.
Second of all, this is not any more of a privacy intrusion than previously existed. It was always possible to track clicks within a single website via cookies, and clicks on external links (i.e. banner ads) by using a redirect first. If the author of the website wants to track what you're doing, he's already got the means, and he's had them for years.
The funny thing is, even people that know basic probability theory do things in poker that they would never do in other games. Like chasing a flush draw when the opponent bets the pot. In roulette, you wouldn't bet on the numbers if they only paid even money, instead of 36-to-1. But even people who understand that idea make the equivalent terrible bets in poker all the time. Oh well, more money for me:) .
Not to mention that 'effect' can be used as a verb. Oh, and 'affect' can be used as a noun. Grandparent had good intentions, but needs to look at a dictionary.
Although I loved Knight Rider as a child, I just can't watch it any more because my suspension of disbelief can't hold up to it any more. First, it's obvious that no AI can be as good as KITT. But even if you choose to accept that, then the next question is, why did they think the best use for such amazing AI software is to shove it in a car so some vigilante can fight crime? Or why didn't they at least make copies of it for a thousand other uses?
Also, whenever I see David Hasselhoff now, I just think, "really, really, really, really bad German pop star".
Um, what? Following the link, there's no definition that matches "The belief that everyone is out to get you". I suspected that immediately, because "get you" is slang and wouldn't be used in a definition. The actual webster's definitions have the words "delusions" and "irrational" in them. So, your post is a bunch of crap.
For this context, 32 is plenty large. Large is relative. If you ask me how many grains of rice I ate last night, 100 would be a small number. If you ask the average slashdotter how many women he's dated, 1 is a huge number.
15 million lines of code / 600,000 sheets = 25 lines per page? And you're saying the job wasn't even complete at 600,000 pages, so supposedly there were even fewer lines per page?
Either your font size was ridiculous or you need to check your math.
You really think they'll make you calculate the hash key? I know Google engineers are smart but I didn't know they expect that much from their customers.
Slashdot Mirror
EMF? You're unbelievable!
It's an inbox, since he'll probably be getting viruses this way.
It's an "Inbox" now!

More like "Yes, but will it run Linus?".
Speaking of Avenue Q's musical stylings, this is the funniest thing I've seen in a while: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-444698155 4735098778&q=internet+is+for+porn
What would really be funny is to see if you could run your 2400 baud modem over the VOIP connection to Sydney :) .
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

... stands for "Keep it simple, silly", or "Keep it simple, stupid". There are other variations on the acronym but the general idea is the same.

Sorry, sometimes my puns just stink.
Doh! Sorry again.
"If you were using Linux, you'd be done by now"
and even more absurdist segueways to carry
is that pronounced seg-way-ways? Reminds me of the "ATM Machine" joke...

Huh? Oracle? Cisco? Apple? Have you driven around Silicon Valley?

Using Moore's Law and assuming today's fastest notebook is roughly 3GHz:
3 000 000 000 * ((1/2)^((2005 - 1508) / 1.5)) = 5.44313816 × 10-91 Hz
...he'd be prosecuted in the exact same manor.
:P .
I don't see how the building in which he's tried is relevant

You call 45 atoms a lump of sugar? Try sweetening your coffee with that.
