Does this mean that if I walk into a movie store to buy a movie, I'll need to provide ID which will then be recorded along with the serial number of the movie I purchased?
Rather than a standard, allowing people to use partial hierarchies might be enough for a sophisticated algorithm to figure out when tags mean approximately the same thing (given a large set of data).
For example, given the example of Windows Vista from the article, tags indicating partial hierarchies might look like "software/windows vista" or "windows/vista". The first tag could be interpreted as: both the tags "software" and "windows vista", and that the tag "windows vista" is a sub-tag of "software".
I've heard rumors of software that is capable of analyzing tags for large collections of objects to determine which tags are related and even make guesses as to when different tags mean the same thing. Allowing users to also say that one tag is a sub-tag of another might be enough to create full tag hierarchies and improve the ability to guess when two tags mean the same thing.
If you have a cast of 9 in an action flick, SOMEONE'S going to die!
Then why do I see complaints over Wash (and Book) getting killed? Why complain about something that is inevitable? Unless, of course, you thought it inconceivable that Joss would kill a main character.
If you thought of the movie as a springboard for more TV shows, then you might expect none of the main characters to die. Even when Book died, it was possible that the rest might survive. But once Wash died and the others didn't look to be in good shape, it was unclear who would survive, and quite possible that none of them would survive. Once Wash is dead, why stop there?
the whole proposition seems like a very little bang for a very lot of buck
Only if you don't care so much about the movie so much as potential future TV shows.
I'm one of those that protested that loudest that killing Wash was a stupid, stupid move
I though that killing Wash and Book was a great move. At the end I actually thought the good guys might fail, that Joss might kill them all off (my friend, who I saw it with, thought they would send the message, but still all die). I can't remember the last time I actually believed a movie might end with the good guys failing and dying (of course, this belief was helped by previously having seen everything else Joss has made).
If Wash and Book hadn't died, the ending wouldn't have been nearly as good because I never would have doubted that they would succeed.
When I first read the CalDAV spec (http://ietf.webdav.org/caldav), I wondered if the same idea (using WebDAV as the underlying protocol) could be used for storing email (instead of IMAP/POP), contact lists, etc.
I'm not too familar with WinFS, but would this give most of the benefits of WinFS but in a more modular and interoperable way?

1.35 million people and $175 billion in revenue, that's a little over $1000 per person.
no wonder so many so many dot-coms are going under:)
In that case maybe your better off with something like webDAV -- especially if MS word can do the versioning.
one advantage of a union
on
IT Unions?

Having a union would probably help everyone who wants to write code on their own time without using company resources and not have their company claim ownership of it.
I'd imagine that union contracts would probably allow employees to retain ownership of anything they produce that isn't connected to their job.
What we need is ad filtering software that automatically fetches the url specified in the ad.
It doesn't display the ad (or even fetch it)... it just fetches the url.
That way everyone is happy. The user doesn't see the ad. The website gets paid for the advertising. And the advertiser thinks that people are clicking on their ads.
If their research involves sexually explicit material are they allowed to publish their work on the web, so that researchers outside of Virgina can access it?
Expand the current system which allows.com.org and.net to allow any 3 letter top level domain (except a few reserved for special use e.g..edu.mil.gov).
Of course this might cost amazon.com a bit of money if it has to register amazon.*** for around 17000 different TLDs:)

If they were volunteers, they wouldn't need the chip.
Does this mean that we are one step closer to being able to put a chip in someone's brain to make them more altruistic?
A couple of your concerns (Privacy and Reliability) could be dealt with if you had the ability to host the application on your own server.

The evidence isn't conclusive; but then, neither was the evidence that Deckard was a replicant.

Would google be able to index my memory? As well as being able to search for things, I'd be curious of the PageRank of various memories.
Has anyone trademarked MemoryRank yet?

According to snort and logcheck.sh my server (with DSL connection) gets hit 1 or 2 times a day by people trying to access my samba shares.
