Many of you are claiming it's free advertisement, but consider the following variation where I made a complete photocopy of a book without the author's or publisher's permission, but in return advertised it to people.
By showing only a portion or sample of the work may sound fine and dandy, but if anyone can do this without permission, I can easily see this being abused. Google's setting a very risky precedent.
If I make a service called "Krunk4Ever Print", does that entitle me to the right to take any copyrighted text and digitize it into my library without permission? Though I may not be as big as Google, what gives Google the right to do it and not any small company or individual?
I'm assuming the fuel cell would be in conjunction with an AC adapter.
Fuel cell can't replace batteries. Even in fuel cell powered cars, there's going to be a battery in there no matter what. The one thing fuel cells can't do that lithium, nicad, or nimh batteries can is that they can be recharged with a conventional AC outlet. Also, by supporting AC outlets, I can conserve battery power and even recharge it as I use it.
what i'm more curious is who will actually get to hire him. by now, he should be receiving tons of job offers. a list of those companies would be interesting too. ranging from security firms to it departments to software developing companies...
i've actually tried that for several support lines when hitting 0 failed. sometimes it worked, other times it thought because of no response, they'd say 'goodbye'.

when i know i can find the info online, i won't bother. i need some help that an automated system can't provide or wastes too much time trying to get it to recgonize what i'm saying.
another winner i thought was:
Useless Specs: Digital Zoom
definitely the most useless spec i can't think of at the moment. it tricks unsuspecting buyers into believing their digicam has more 'zoom' than it really has.
not sure if you missed the or of the 1st step in my original comment, but if you want a new tab, CTRL+T opens a new tab and puts your cursor onto the location bar already, so you only need to hit the ENTER and not CTRL+ENTER in the last step.
What I found great about exchange servers is the fact they have this awesome Outlook Web Access component. No other software I've even seen comes close. Is there by any other chance, that a similar program exists?

I always thought because the XBox used DirectX support, it made it easier to port games to and from PCs (using Windows).
Is that changing in XBox360? or has there always been high discrepancies between XBox's DirectX and Window's DirectX?
And what does Nintendo do that makes it easier for them to port (noting that he didn't criticize them). I'm pretty sure Nintendo uses their own proprietary graphics engine too. Speaking of that, HAS ANY GAME CONSOLE ever made it easy to port games to and from their console?
The only problem is that when the calculation is done, the universe's dimensionality is not four as one may expect (three axes of space and one of time), but twenty-six. More precisely, bosonic string theories are 26-dimensional, while superstring and M-theories turn out to involve 10 or 11 dimensions.
if you don't view it as a deal, it doesn't seem that harsh. think of it as disciplinary action. i mean if i break one of the school rules (nothing to do with the legal system), i'll be punished either by detention, writing standards, community service, or some other sort of disciplinary action within the school system; and community services is definitely a valid disciplinary action they can choose to use.
what these kids committed was NOT a felony, but it did BREAK school rules/policies. It may be true that the IT dept was stupid, but if the school grading system was left wide open, you are still NOT ALLOWED to go into it to change your grades and IF YOU DO GET CAUGHT, you should be liable for your actions.
That's be cause Chinese/Mandarin technically doesn't have much grammar. There is no sense of conjugation. Present tense, past tense, future tense, etc all use the same word (character). To denote the time frame, you add today, yesterday, tomorrow, etc.
Grammar in Chinese I've gotta say is incredibily easy. The hardest partof Chinese like you said is the actual pronunciation since tons of words sound alike and the writing of the Chinese characters.
When you're dealing with a language with a complex grammar such as English, grammar becomes a lot harder. I took Spanish back in high school. The hardest part wasn't the vocabulary for me, but was the actual remember of how to conjugate the verbs in different situations. Spanish doesn't have that many "special" cases, but English has A LOT.
Being more serious, how do you think humans learn the rudiments of language? It's pattern analysis, i.e. precisely the technique this algorithm tries to replicate. It is true that the algorithm won't then progress onto the next stage, which is using that rudimentary grasp of the language to be taught its finer points, but if you genuinely doubt the capacity of this method to produce an understanding of language you are contesting the experiences of every human on the planet.
there's one flaw in your analysis is that humans learn language/grammar faster when their young and it becomes a lot harder when they get older. There's many different speculations on why that happens from children starting from a clean slate to children learn languages better as their brain develops. I mean pattern analysis would definitely be an advantage for grown ups, no? Why are children's pattern analysis better in this case if what you saying is true.
From what I've seen, to actually learn grammar and a foreign language, there's 2 requirements. One is you must have a passion for it. 2nd is that you must be constantly practicing. I've noticed if you attend classes but never use it in your real life, you'll never learn it. Find a group of people who are also learning and try communicating only with that language and you'll see how much faster you'll pick up. It also helps to have a friend who's fluent in the language to correct you (though it might not be that good for your pride). What I've noticed is that grammar nazis are the best for learning a new grammar. They pick on EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE YOU MAKE, so you'd think twice before making the same mistake again.
At college, I've actually seen flyers asking for help in english and in return they'll help you with the language they're fluent in, be in french, german, chinese, japanese, etc. So those people would meet maybe 3x a week and spend an hour in each language each time, which I thought was a really neat idea. Here you're helping a foreigner with english and there they are helping you with a foreign language you want to learn.
You bring up several interesting points, but if I recalled correctly, the time limit doesnt count till your started watching and most people, no matter how long you've rented a movie, usually watch it only once.
their pricing structure should've been better to compete with the current rental schemas.
This disc format allowed the consumer to make an intitial movie purchase for as low as $4.49, which allowed one to watch the movie as many times as they wanted within a 48 viewing period. In order to watch the film again after that time, the viewer had to reactivate the viewing period with the DIVX computer. In other words, the player was tied in to the phone line and the consumer had to punch in his credit card number to a main-frame computer in Virginia in order to view his movie.
it's basically DRM with another renting schema that fell through. i thought it was actually pretty neat, but i guess because of the physical disc barrier, it wasn't well received. if they can make home theater pcs download these DRMed movies and give them an expiration of 48hours or 1 week or something, I think that'll be totally awesome!
how they are doing that? i have no idea. does the drug make your body believe it's already gotten the rest? or does it actually have the results of resting?
i mean what i'm trying to say is they could either be slowing down the aging process, or they can be extending the aging process, which isn't clear from the article.
might also explain the infertility since it's harder for old people to have babies.
what i'm curious about is will we be younger longer or older longer? assuming the average lifespan of a human mean is 70, 50% more is 105. but honestly, age 70-105 isn't age that'll benefit society much. they've past their working age and can really only offer their wisdom at this point.
i would rather prefer it extended our youth or extended our life equally at different parts. meaning i can technically feel like 50 at the age of 75 (50% increase again).
Slashdot Mirror
would be if they had a video showing the virtusphere in action and what the user was seeing simultaneously side by side.

Here's the program info.
Here's the keep until screen.
Here's the show details screen.
Oh yeah, Bah! Bah, I say!
then it'll truly be apples and oranges.

just wanted to say AVG isn't FREE for everyone.

yep, with programs such as WinHoldem, it makes cheating a lot easier!
it even has a link for Detection Avoidance advice.
from this article: , one poker bot feature is Team Mode: Flick on Team mode and you can collude with other humans running WinHoldEm at the table.
i prefer the firefox keyword, so it's just:

is this in anyway related to the string theory?

Could there be any other answer other than the process of aging being slowed down?
i dunno. they were able to administer a drug called CX717 and restore someone who hasn't slept for 30-36 hours back up to 84% performace.
how they are doing that? i have no idea. does the drug make your body believe it's already gotten the rest? or does it actually have the results of resting?
i mean what i'm trying to say is they could either be slowing down the aging process, or they can be extending the aging process, which isn't clear from the article.

i would rather prefer it extended our youth or extended our life equally at different parts. meaning i can technically feel like 50 at the age of 75 (50% increase again).
would i really want to extend my life being old?
i always thought that was what the mute button did. or did you want it specifically for browser stuff only?
