I'm sure your code is spiffy great and all to you, but ultimately it is useless to everyone else. You have almost no comments. Here is the only real comment:
WHY STEPSIZES WHEN NOQNT ?
The other comments are various FIXME's. Utterly useless. There is no README nothing. Job security? I mean really, why have you bothered to release it?

Too bad that source code has some serious license problems.
OK, so what about It's raining? It's a kind of construction called a Dummy it. That is, the it has no meaning whatsoever (you're far from the first to be puzzled by it) and is used strictly as a placeholder, like the dummy hand in bridge, or the zero on 101. Why do anything that bizarre? Well, see, English Syntax has this Rule that says -- in ponderous and self-enforcing tones -- Thou Shalt Have A Subject In Every Finite Sentence. And thou must, indeed.
I've looked at DICT previously. Too bad it's defunct. To me the most useful first step would be a system that can integrate all of the many different dictionaries already in existence. Maybe with some kind of fallback to webster.com or something more appropriate.
Of course if all this work is only available through some server and not an iso that I can download then I'll pay no attention to it. All too often it has happened that these so called public databases disappear on the people who worked on them.
My how narrow minded. Which would you rather have, any one of the various variants you listed or shopi-ngu he ikimasu? My japanese is really bad but you get the point. The point which I will explicitely state for all you ACs is that the goal is not to translate poetry, but first to be able to translate well enough that you can understand what is trying to be conveyed.
You've heard the joke haven't you about the golfer that goes to [insert some foreign contry here] and gets a hooker the first night he is there. This guy is so excited about having his first taste of [insert approprate ethnic reference here] that he jumps on the hooker and starts giving it his all. The hooker starts screaming [insert foreign sounding gibberish here]. This only encourages the guy, he's thinking that she's saying something that means he's great. So anyway, the next day he goes golfing with his business partner that he flew over to meet. During the game his foreign bussiness partner makes a hole in one. So he decides to use the new word he learned last night from the hooker. His business partner turns to him and says "what do you mean, wrong hole?"
So why don't we make a dockapp button with the label "I'm bored." When a user hits it, a menu of the current distributed projects that could use his neurons would be listed.
/. needs to change the two minute between posts thing to an exponentially decresing time span. That way you can spit out a couple of posts but not ten really quick.
Besides the inherently short attention span of most 12 year olds this will be a non-issue as long as you ensure that there is no direct feedback loop.
Trolling on/. most likely results from the very short amount of time it takes to see people responding to your crap. Most scipt-kiddie like behaviour is similar, when you start a DOS attack the results of your mischief is immediate. This translation service on the other hand will probably prove to be quite boring and thus only those with dedication will be able to commit to doing a translation instead of watching The Simpsons.
The tools aren't quite up to snuff but what would be ideal is to reencode the tiffs using the lossless (integer wavelet transform) probably specifying no color transform. (It only really talks about rgb2yuv). Since it is lossless there is no concerns over data. jp2k was designed for random spatial access with automagic support for viewing the image at lower resolutions that are powers of two. (eg. 256 pixels to 512 to 1024 etc....)
Its possible that you could utilize one of the source available versions from jpeg.org like jasper as a backend. You can specify cmd line options to get reduced resolution versions from the encoded files. This has the benefit that you'll never have to decode the data for the higher resolutions if you don't need it.
I suggest moving it to a development site, such as advogato.
Are you serious? I've looked at advogato and that site is weak.They barely have any replies to the few articles that they post. And sure some of the comments are good but the net gain from reading all the comments is a tiny pimple. I wish there was a good site for this purpose but unless you're like arstechnica with Hannibal you're screwed. The basic fact is that you need someone really knowledgeable about the topic.
Give me a fscking break. The FCC is already waaaay toooo busy cracking down on all those l33t overclockers who run with their case off due to heat issues.
Yes yes yes. They should also put on every exam, "What is the definition of a scientist." I have feeling most people would fail. Especially those who insist it should be implemented in Java.

Man that's a crappy example. You've never heard of the electric motor? Too quick to post perhaps?
Also, your example also exemplifies why you need to understand the tools you use. What if you were in the midst of a storm, standing in pools of water sawing 2x4's to secure bits of your house. If you understood the tool you would know that water is not compatible with its use.
One day all we'll have are people who only know how to plug doohickeys together.

Unfortunately, sometimes progress in the "correct" direction can only be made when you disregard what came before you. e.g., the Earth is the center of the universe.
Personally I feel that string theory is an obstacle to progress.
And probability based speech recognition algorithms have to get thrown the fuck out.
It's a dead-end method.
I used to do this too. Never sign anything. Wait for them to really hound you.Then talk. Makes it easier to negotiate when they know you won't just go "ok where do I x".
I saw if they threaten you tell them that you wrote a virus that targets the companies competitors. Tell them that if they take your code you will go to their competitors and report the existence of said virus whose sole purpose is to eliminate the competition, kinda like Windows Update.
Latex is like C, you can write a program with everything in main(). Or you can do logical math markup using the \newcommand operator. Or more complicated,
"In reality, as shoreline erodes humans and other creatures tend to move inland before their homes fall into the sea."
This is utterly false, for humans anyway. The shoreline is mostly owned by rich people. Since shoreline property by definition is also extremely valuable, the owners of said land do everything in their power to prevent such loss of land, regardless of the consequences in many cases.
I assume you mean "after years of learning through feedback" or something similar. If you're currently evolving then that would make you that chair guy from the HHGTG radio show.
That's the way evolution works. And it's not the only case. Somewhere in my hazy brain I seem to recall a theory about carrier pigeons having the equivalent of a compass in their noggin.
But still its not a design flaw, merely further proof that evolution does not do prediction, e.g., for space travel, but is merely a random mutation survival of the fittest method.

Take a look at a websom example. Here you can differentiate pruning from the garden variety fairly easily.
This would allow you to easily make the choice between obviously different usages of the word anchor.
