No, I don't think webinar's geek word... it sounds disturbingly like a... BUZZWORD!
Disown it!
And seriously, what does mondegreen have to do with geek either -- nor is it in any way a new word. This seems like a another sockpuppet article designed to generate traffic for a website.
If you're looking at the EU, learn spanish, italian, german, french, or russian.
Italian is only spoken in Italy and a tiny part of Switzerland. Spanish only in Spain, and Spain is more of a Second World country. Neither will get you very far anywhere outside of those respective countries. It's not like the in the Americas -- people don't speak Spanish much in the EU -- other than tourist Spanish anyway... There are more Poles than Spaniards, you'd be better off learning that than Spanish.
French is widely spoken. German is widely spoken (in fact, it has the highest number of native speakers of all languages in Europe)(though not always welcome). Russian is rarely spoken outside of Kaliningrad and Karlovy Vary, but is widely understood (though rarely very welcome.)
To hell with the poor! Intelligent people, not idiot slugs, got us where we are today.
I agree. And in the UK specifically, that was true up to about the 1960s. Since then the poor have been getting more power, more say, more pandering, and there's more of them. Actually none of them are even genuinely, technically, poor any more. But since the late 60s the UK has been in steady decline. Now we have the fattest, drunkenest and most violent children in Europe, if not the World. That's what happens when you let the poor run a country. Lowest common denominator politics.
Personally I'm tired of infotainment. And I'm absolutely sick and tired of pandering to retarded parents.
Not everything in this World should be an opportunity for sheeple to dump their sticky, spoiled offspring in the way of others. If you and your kids are too stupid to understand the importance of something, to treat it with the appropriate respect it deserves, then do us all a favor and fuck right off.
As a young child growing up reading Jules Verne and Darwin and war comic books I'd have been delighted to visit Bletchley Park. I didn't need touch screens, a play area, things to make noises, or a giant enigma machine that plays musical notes when I jump on it.
I recently had the occasion to visit the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Galleries in Glasgow -- I've not been there since the 1970s. My memory of it was of reverential stillness as I browsed the collections all arranged in logical scientific manner. However, now it's a brash braindead creche. The exhibits are hard to see because there's sticky child's fingers all over them, there's vandalism everywhere. It's loud, it's dumb, it's cheap, and it's tacky.
Now, obviously it's being sold as a success because there's more visitors. However, in my opinion it's a failure because it's clear that few visitors are understanding anything they are seeing, and those that do can only gleam a small amount of their potential because of the selfish sheeple majority.
Incidentally if you do find yourself in Glasgow (do try not to) and want to see a museum, then the Hunterian in the University is still a pleasant experience.
AVG also now has annoying nagging pop-ups, it's been around for a month or so. So that leaves Avast. How much hassle is the manual registration? I'm using AVG now, and the pop-ups are far too much. This debacle with DDOSing site is proof of a disturbing change of management and I want that software off my machine for good. There WILL be a next time with these assholes in charge.
Seriously, you'd thing that companies would learn from Real Player. If you get too greedy you end up with no customers.
While it's good that there's new and innovative uses for Open Source, the last thing the world needs is another fucking Twitter.
Twitter is the singular most overhyped (and seemingly overstretched) and in-your-face viral spamming thing since Ron Paul and Facebook. Soooo much sock puppetry.
It's just another dumb passing fad, and if you're not ZOMG 14 you'll probably never use it. Presumably some retard media giant will overpay for it, and then no-one will ever use it again -- just like all the others. The sooner the better please.
The directors of Twitter are just another bunch of jerks who should be first against the wall come the revolution.
This is excellent! Any chance to see more of Walter Ruttmann's excellent cinematography is greatly appreciated.
For those that haven't, check out "Berlin: Die Symphonie der Großstadt" It's public domain and widely available in pieces on YouTube. (though obviously at shitty YouTube quality). It's an amazing movie for its time, incredible shots in it.
This is absolutely ridiculous. He didn't actually sell his vote, he just put it up for sale.
That is totally true. This is thoughtcrime. No actual crime was committed. We do not know if he actually intended to complete the transaction, or simply highlight the fact that lobbyists buy votes all the time.
I don't see how any web developer (with a conscience) could commit themselves to silverlight when it means locking out so many users.
Fixed that for you. Sadly there are those who will use Silverlight regardless of the hassle it causes users. MLB.com is one example. In their retarded drive to drm their (free) video content on their site, they use Silverlight. Despite being a paying MLB.TV subscriber, I cannot get any of their video to work on Firefox whatsoever on my windows box, I have to use IE -- it is the ONLY site I use IE for. And nothing at all will play it on my G4 iMac. Not Safari, not Firefox -- nothing.
If you are developer that works for a company that doesn't give flying fuck, about its customers choices then you'll cheerfully use Silverlight. And it's these developers that are the real enemy, they are the ones "only obeying orders". They need to be condemned more. They can stop this -- but they are cowards, and just as unethical as the suits they work for.
wooden instruments sound better the more you play them, something to do with the wood settling.
Is that actually true though? And indeed how would you even measure it? I've heard this many times, and it sort of sounds true -- but is there actually any evidence for it?
it has come to our attention that the planet, namely the EARTH, which we purchased from you some millennia ago, may now be faulty. It appears to emit a high pitched screeching noise as it turns around its star. We are not sure at this point if it's perhaps an intermittent fault, however Benji can hear it every time he's out in his spaceship.
We understand that the planet is still covered by warranty, thus we would be grateful if you could send some engineers around to have a look at it. Mornings suit us best.
The long tail theory is completely sound. The problem is that "search" fails.
As anyone who has ever tried to promote something on the web knows, it's an uphill struggle. There's a massive inertia curve -- especially if you have a niche subject. If you can't go to a high traffic site and find potential customers, or use the synergy of a similar site, then you're going to have to spend a massive amount of money promoting your site using old World media -- newspaper ads, flyers, word of mouth etc.
Adsense isn't worth the money unless you are a marketing expert and are prepared to lose money finding the right combination. And as much as Google improved search in 1997, they've not improved it ever since. In fact they've killed the competition stone dead. There's still room for MASSIVE improvement in search. Google seriously needs real competition.
Black hat SEO link farms dominate all sorts of obscure search terms, so how do you compete with that?
If search was better, if there is a way for a niche audience to get together, then the long tail model works just fine.

However, if you use the word "mashup" you're probably a jerk.

64 Commodores ought to be enough for anyone.
...is this just more sock puppetry for Twitter -- the singular most annoying website on the planet, and the next biggest has-been.
Can we at least let one day go by without an article directly or indirectly about this POS?

No, you need Tom Cruise. Surely Scientologists would pay for SETI. It's the easiest way to contact a space DC-8.
If only... no one act would improve more the quality of everyone's browsing experience.

Dear Magrathea Customer Support,

The average UK child these days is grossly obese, so quite a lot I'd imagine.
and thereby, most surely, are a target market.
