They're not asking for a photography judge here, they're asking for you to pick the best image of the storefront in question. If the storefront isn't there, then you choose "None of the Above" and move on to the next one.
I did nine 3-cent HITs in about 5 or 6 minutes, so that's about 3.25/hour. The lag for me was in waiting for the images to download and clicking on the "Accept HIT" button repeatedly.
There is an API, maybe if someone made a page that just displays the images and sends in the result when you click on the image instead of having to click twice for each HIT, you could go faster and make much more money.
Are you kidding? The Google Maps API has been hugely succesful for Google. Check out Google-Maps-API Google Group and notice how many bugs have been reported and fixed, how many hundreds of mashups have been created. They've gone through 23 (or so) revisions to the client-side JavaScript since June when the API started floating around.
What other huge commercial organization has done something similar to this? I would say that it's very unlikely that Google will cut off this source of development help.
Check out http://www.mapki.com/ for more development information. There's tons of helpful documentation there.
Isn't that an oxymoron by now? Every single "this was tested by a neutral 3rd party" review you hear about has a corresponding "that neutral 3rd party wasn't neutral at all" story to dupe. Even if there are "neutral 3rd parties" out there, will anyone trust them enough for AMD to be successful in this marketing campaign?
I was just at a meeting at a meeting at a major healthcare company, and number two on the list of priorities for the next 3 years was diabetes detection/prevention. The budget was in the billions.
You're not squeezing hard enough. I can see the individual molecules (they're very colorful!) moving around when I squeeze my eyes hard enough for long enough...
As long as you have SSE3, you can run natively. Depending on your motherboard's chipset and your PCI peripherals, you should be able to go out of the box.
The eID program (for undergrads) at GE comes highly recommended. I've spent the last 3 summers working for the GE Healthcare company working on Java for their upcoming Java-based patient monitor.
Had I been working on a Bachelor of SCIENCE degree instead of a BA, I could have moved on to the Edison Engineering program, a *very* prestigous post-undergrad internship program that pays you (VERY well) while you get to travel (if you want), earn 2-4 credits for a masters degree (or PhD if you already have a masters).
If you want more information (all of this stuff isn't on GE.com for some reason), please e-mail me at: my slashdot user name @gmail.com.
Indeed, most of the people running this either have Intel chipsets to run it natively (one person posted some screenshots from their computer that was running a VIA chipset) or are emulating a generic chipset (via VMware).
Audio device support has been spotty (according to reports in the forums, but someone hooked up a Sony USB audio card and it worked flawlessly), along with NIC supprt (it seems 3Com and Intel chips are supported natively) and hardware GUI acceleration.
Apple Legal has surely known about this site and others like it for ages. They have been working on this since at least the beginning of July. If Apple's legal department hasn't tried to strike them down yet, why would they now?
There are several people who are running it natively on their systems. It turns out most people with Intel chipsets can just boot the Dev DVD (after hacking the rosetta core) normally.
Google is just licensing the satellite image data from DigitalGlobe and other vendors. It's the same data that Microsoft, TerraServer, NASA, etc. have and is publicly available for everyone with a stamp. My library even has CDs full of (outdated) full-res satellite images of the world.
Asking Google to censor it just means that the "terrorists" will just go to Microsoft's new beta map.
Is it just me or is a "hacking" culture growing out of the internet? People are getting fed up with the limitations put on them by business' slowness, so they push the limits of current technology to meet their needs.
Is this because people's needs are growing faster than industry's ability to provide them?
But it's still vastly different. In one case information is benefiting the human population of society, while in your example the information is benefiting the corporation.
Sure, they *might* save some paper, but why would they print less if they could print more (targeted) ads?
I think the key is that there's a very big difference between the information that "wants to be free" like algorithms, software, Cisco vulnerabilities, etc. and information like your globally-unqiue database key (SSN in the US). In one case there's you have information that has no particular relevance to any one person, but could benefit society as a whole in some way. The other case is information that identifies one person and doesn't necessarily help society in any way.
At least for the slashdot comparison, the submitter is comparing apples to oranges.

I want to start a new VoIP host, what's the number to call to get tapped? I want to make sure I'm complying with the laws.
Maybe if we all started our own VoIP provider and called to make sure it's okay, they'd get the point...

Doubt it.
I was going to check it on my TI-84+ Silver Graphite Platinum edition, but I got distracted by the pretty movies of the Matrix...

These guys will be making a LOT of money.
At $50 though, 5,500 people won't be rushing the doors for an astronomy textbook.

I paid ASCAP for the graphical representation of the sound, so it's ok.
...the sounds of the 48" dual lawyer-guns on Battleship RIAA rotating to their new target.
What good are our fair use rights if the RIAA keeps blank media out of our hands?
Imagine a world where you have to go to the "ghetto" to pick up your black-market, vintage 32x Imation CD-Rs...
To clarify:
You get video, it just depends on if your Quartz graphics layer is accelerated. There have been only a few video cards that have acheived this.
Sound/Network: Only a couple brand of chips have worked natively. Read the forums associated with these sites for hardware compatibility.
As long as you have SSE3, you can run natively. Depending on your motherboard's chipset and your PCI peripherals, you should be able to go out of the box.
Search the pirate bay for a 386 and vmware. There's a torrent out there. It decompresses to about 6GB.

Here's the HIFAR reactor's website, with information:

They have a convenient "how to get to ANSTO" page here (so terrorists can just side step the whole Google earth lookup thing):

So go do something about it! Stop complaining about the people who are complaining. Don't tell US what to do, go do it yourself!
OSS philosophy here...
Cisco will have to stop making routers. They send my copywritten movies across the internet, don't they?
