They're burning through a lot of money but being cautious with ads. It's understandable that they don't want to smother the user with ads; they have to find the intersection of what the users will tolerate and profit. With all the traffic, though, I'm sure they'll find a way rather than just disappear.
"We believe that there are subtle, short- and long-range word or even word string repetitions that exist in human texts, but not in many classes of computer-generated texts that can be used to discriminate based on meaning."
I always get the same feeling that I would get if asked to leave my printed resume on the doorstep after hours.
Really, all I'm asking for is an email confirmation back, showing that they got it. As for them purposefully "misplacing" the submission, that can happen in any circumstance, online app or not.
This is the route I am trying to go. Unlike most Slashdotters (I'm guessing), I don't have a natural antipathy toward Walmart. I go there to buy groceries, some cookware, things like that. For more durable goods, I do try to spend a little more (at other places), and "get my money's worth." But if a family is poor, Walmart is a good place to go to stretch a dollar.
I was once stuck in traffic, my $400 car behind a $40,000 SUV. The bumper sticker on the SUV read "Wal-Mart: Your Source for Cheap Plastic Crap." What a condescending, sneering attitude.
A lot of Manhattan probably already does [vote Democrat].
You need to get your sarcasm detector repaired.
...politicians who are making decisions that have direct, tangible effects on their lives...
I voted for George W. Bush in 2000, and shortly thereafter received a tax break in the form of a check in my mailbox. So I guess that was in my interest. I made very little money at the time. Now I make a lot more (relatively speaking - I'm still strictly middle class) thanks to his disastrous economic policies, and have never gotten another check. However, things are still working out for me. Unfortunately, I can't vote for him again.
Americans will only start caring when they lose some coastal cities.
You mean like new Orleans?
I think that New Orleans has been under sea level for some time, even during the global cooling of the 1950s to 1980s. It was local corruption in large part that destroyed the city.
meanwhile millions of people on this planet are still dying of things like diarrhea.
That's not a technological issue. It's geo-political, socio-economic, but not technological.

Here is something from the Internet! It's hilarious:
Couch gag, the family runs in but Mr. Hanky from South park has
replaced their couch! They sit on him anyways and it goes "spuish")
Homer:Man Marge, I really have to go to the bathroom so badly!
Marge: Then go!
Homer: But then I'll miss Christina Aguilera;s new video "What a Girl
Wants"!
Marge: This is your problem Homer, YOU figure it out!
(Homers sits on couch and you hear a "pppppppppplllllllllllt" sound)
Homer:Ahhhhhhhhh!! Why didn;t I think of that before Marge?
Marge: Homer, you pooped your pants!
Homer:This is great, it's like being a baby!!
{One week later}
(Homers is sitting on the couch, but there is poop all around him and
flys are buzzing. Marge left Homer and took the kids. The phone rings)
Homer:HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY, IT'S THE POOP MONSTA
TALKING TO YA!!
Smithers:Simpson! You have to come to work today!
Homer: Uh oh, oh no! What am I gonna do, I can;t get my poop all over
the work station
Smithers: That's YOUR problem Simpson!
(Homer hangs up)
Homer:What am I gonna do?
(He sees a big box of "Huggies" that were obviously diapers intended
for maggie. Homer squeezes into one and walks out the door. Homer
gets out of the car at work and everybody is stairing at him wearing
just a diaper. He takes a seat at his work consel)
Homer: Oh no! I have to take a wiz! Oh wait, I'm wearing a diaper!
(An expression of relief crosses his face as he urinates. Zip to a few
hours later, homer is inline at the cafeteria but his diaper is totally
loaded with poop, about to explode)
Lenny:Homah! That is totally disgusting! You should see the nurse!
Homer:WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHO Cares!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a baby
again!!
(Homer's diaper completely explodes, soaking everything and everybody
in the cafeteria with poop and he is naked.)
Homer: D'oh!
Mr. Burns: Smithers, why does this soup taste so much better than
usual? Hmmmmmmmmm, this is great!
(Everybody in the lunch room is enjoying their meal now that it is
soaked in homer's poop)
Carl: Ya know homer, you could make serioius money off of that!
Homer:Ya think.....?
(Homer looks thought ful and they cut to a commercial)
(We come back to see Homer standing at a stand outside of his house
that says "Poop BUrgers, three dollars")
Customer1:Will ya gimme a cheese poop burger and a poop shake?
Homer: Just a second!
(Homer reaches into his pants to get a handful of poop, and throws it
on the grill. He gets another handful and throws it into the blender
and poors milk on it, and turns the blender on. He takes the grilled
poop and puts it on a bun, and poors the poop shake into a glass)
Homer: That'll be 5 dollars!
Customer1:Wow, what a deal!
(Customer1 takes shake and burger, drains the shake and eats the
burger. Homer's poop is all around his mouth.)
Customer1: Oooh yeah, that hits the spot!
(Kent Brockman pulls up in van)
Brockman: This is Kent Brockman reporting live from the newest craze in
Springfield, POOP BURGER!
(Everybody in line cheers at seeing themselves on TV)
Brockman: Mr. Simpson, what is your secret ingredient that makes your
feeces so much more tastey than the average man or beasts?
Homer: Well Kent, you could say the secret ingredient is SALT.
Brockman: I see, very well, I must be going. But could you give a
large poop fries to go?
Homers:CEEEEEEEEEEEERTAINALY!!!!
(Homer pulls down his pants and poops into a grate that has square
slots, making the poop come out in fry shape, they then drop into the
deep frier and Homer dumps them into a box and gives them to Brockman)
Homer: Have a nice poopy day!

I know how much you guys like **Beatles Beatles
From TFA:
George Harrison was "the quiet Beatle". But it was Harrison who first made
his mark after the Beatles disbanded by scoring a No. 1 hit single with "My Sweet Lord,"
in 1970 (the success of the single was somewhat marred by a 1976 court ruling that found
Harrison guilty of "subconscious plagiarism" of The Chiffons' charming ditty "He's So Fine").
Even if his self-deprecating and retiring personality made it hard for him to be heard above his
charismatic bandmates, few will deny that Harrison - as a guitarist and as a songwriter -
was an important voice for the Beatles.
And what falsehoods would those be? Oh, I know 99% of/. believe that "Bush lied about WMDs." But that's just not the case. Even assuming that Saddam had decommissioned his WMD collection (of which there is little evidence), and not shipped them off to Syria (of which there is someevidence), then we are still stuck with the matter of whether that's a "lie" or not. I submit that at worse, it's a mistake, a misconception.
Keep in mind, I hope the WMD are gone, and gone for good, not just to Syria. But the question remains, Saddam did have and use them - where are they now? Maybe he used up his stockpile.
I'm sure you have other examples of "lies" though, so feel free to vent.
Slashdot Mirror
I agree, you brain-dead moron.
See? You probably thought I just insulted you! :)
Your Tube, Whose Dime?
They're burning through a lot of money but being cautious with ads. It's understandable that they don't want to smother the user with ads; they have to find the intersection of what the users will tolerate and profit. With all the traffic, though, I'm sure they'll find a way rather than just disappear.
I agree with your assessment. And I don't really see what is so "ballsy" and piercing about Colbert's act. It seemed pretty standard, to me.
RESULTS: FAKE
Yep, it works!
I think my favorite series of the genre was Steve Jackson's Sorcery! . They had georgous art, and the puzzles, plot, and writing were quite good.
Really, all I'm asking for is an email confirmation back, showing that they got it. As for them purposefully "misplacing" the submission, that can happen in any circumstance, online app or not.
I was once stuck in traffic, my $400 car behind a $40,000 SUV. The bumper sticker on the SUV read "Wal-Mart: Your Source for Cheap Plastic Crap." What a condescending, sneering attitude.
What is the "general fund?"
Here's a little bit about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling#1970s_ Awareness
How?
Sarcasm is a tricky thing when dealing with text on the internets.
What long term effects (that are appalling) do you thing will arise from tax cuts?
You need to get your sarcasm detector repaired.
I voted for George W. Bush in 2000, and shortly thereafter received a tax break in the form of a check in my mailbox. So I guess that was in my interest. I made very little money at the time. Now I make a lot more (relatively speaking - I'm still strictly middle class) thanks to his disastrous economic policies, and have never gotten another check. However, things are still working out for me. Unfortunately, I can't vote for him again.
I think that New Orleans has been under sea level for some time, even during the global cooling of the 1950s to 1980s. It was local corruption in large part that destroyed the city.
Yes, then Manhattan will finally start voting Democrat.
That's not a technological issue. It's geo-political, socio-economic, but not technological.

I know how much you guys like **Beatles Beatles From TFA:
George Harrison was "the quiet Beatle". But it was Harrison who first made his mark after the Beatles disbanded by scoring a No. 1 hit single with "My Sweet Lord," in 1970 (the success of the single was somewhat marred by a 1976 court ruling that found Harrison guilty of "subconscious plagiarism" of The Chiffons' charming ditty "He's So Fine"). Even if his self-deprecating and retiring personality made it hard for him to be heard above his charismatic bandmates, few will deny that Harrison - as a guitarist and as a songwriter - was an important voice for the Beatles.

All right, you sniveling little geeks, I'll show you Trolling. God forbid that /. users would ever read a diverging opinion.
And what falsehoods would those be? Oh, I know 99% of /. believe that "Bush lied about WMDs." But that's just not the case. Even assuming that Saddam had decommissioned his WMD collection (of which there is little evidence), and not shipped them off to Syria (of which there is some evidence), then we are still stuck with the matter of whether that's a "lie" or not. I submit that at worse, it's a mistake, a misconception.
Keep in mind, I hope the WMD are gone, and gone for good, not just to Syria. But the question remains, Saddam did have and use them - where are they now? Maybe he used up his stockpile.
I'm sure you have other examples of "lies" though, so feel free to vent.
