It is both increased demand and shorter supply. In particular, the growing middle class in both India and China are eating more meat.
Also add this to your list "Per-capita consumption of food in US is 5 times higher than in India and approx 4 times than in China". So, putting 20% corn into producing ethanol is tantamount to the total corn consumption of middle class in India. I guess the cause of global rising in food prices is more than clear.
Believe me or not. Whatever your way of thinking is, you'll always find someone who thinks the same way. And you always try to match your behavior with the other person to the maximum and see how similar they are. So, if you see many nerd-leftist around you because you yourself are. Try to find some nerd who is a not a good person and ask him how does he feel about the nerds.
Ooops forgot to put brs.

Well, I was a Teaching Assistant of 'Concurrent Algorithms'. There used to be 30 students for that class. For a given assignment there used to be 30 different solutions and many used to be wrong.
It is difficult to find out errors in these kind of algorithms. There has been some papers published in big conferences and it was found that some mathematical proofs were wrong because they could not think of some scenarios where it can fail.
I use different technique to control spam. I'm using it for the last two years and I'm able to classify 40% of the mails which I receive as spams with 98% accuracy!! Here is the link
I basically prioritize my mails instead of classifying them as spams. Very low priority are generally spams, which can be deleted very quickly. It should work for 90% of the mail users on web.
It was not sold because it was a 100$ laptop. If it was some 99$ or 199$ laptop, govt. of India would have been interested to purchase it. After all, party funds come from these purchases. They gave the crappiest reason for not purchasing the laptop i.e. it would be just another object to play. The real reason should have been that they don't have sufficient number of trained teachers. In my opinion, it doesn't take good amount of time to train teachers. The easiest way to spread literacy is definitely through computers and government of India doesnt want to do it. They will lose their cheap vote banks. They need baraks, bofors, missiles, nuclear energy, nuclear bombs etc. Even those things which can be done in India is imported from outside for 10 times the charge, because it brings value to the ruling parties. Well I'm from India.
Given that robot can be made to sense anything..it can sense the damage of it's own with the best possible mechanism. Try damaging the processor(s) of that robot and see what will it do ?
The search data released by AOL could be great for research purpose. Even a stupid person will never release such kind of data. This seems very strategic.
If you analyze the search data you'll know that video market is growing rapidly. Search engines are surely driven by porn market. It explains why google was fighting for that data. It could have bought down their revenue. As search engines are useful for the development of internet, user data is useful for the development of future product because you know in advance who are the potential customers for the new product.
Cognitivists and weak AI theorists, for instance, suggest that phenomenal consciousness and intelligence(the experience of what it's like to be X - X being you, for instance) are not algorithmic processes and thus cannot be simulated or reproduced by a computer.
They have only suggested, they haven't proved it. It's a big deal to prove or disprove these kind of things.
I remember my professor telling us in the class that anything which can be expressed/solved by any turing machine is an algorithm. Those equations seems different than the description of a turing machine[ To Me:( ]. I would say that it's a great finding. He was able to describe some natural phenomenon from a set of turing equations. It implies that we can simulate the whole world[or a part] on a computer.
Their main goal is making everything searchable. Going into Digital Music Sales would mean nothing for them. Unlike microsoft, which pokes its nose everywhere google has well defined goals. Or perhaps they have something great to work on. It's always a surprise.
I'd love to use a tablet pc. I'm waiting for the prices to go down.
Another way to create awareness among chinese

Send spam to Chinese people. These people should not be deprived of any knowledge about their government. For the first time spam could be used for good purpose.
Now we started off with nanocars. In future we'll have nano weapons of mass destruction(NWMD). Nano race, nano computers, nano world wars etc. Good luck for your future.

No. They are some of the brightest students of my country. Moreover, assignments used to be very very tough.

It works practically. Try using it.

It's really cool.
hail piracy
This is going to be something nice.
Is it available ??
This is a nice Excuse for everything. Duke researcher who did this is an Indian.
