There is a additional security hole here that I'd love to see a solution to-- how to hide your patterns of access. The NSA is every bit as interested in who is access what data, when and where, as it is in the contents of the data. If a person of interested has accessed an encrypted file, then other people who access that same file are also very interesting. The actual contents of the file may just be icing on the cake.
I believe that. The older programmers that I know have a better sence of what is neccessary, what works, and what doesn't need to be done. The young guys out code them by number of lines, the old coders write much more code that survies for years and doesn't need to be rewritten six monthes from now.
"Think of it as a wine cellar for ads, "
I love that phrase. I'm going to paraphrase it everytime I want to bull-shit someone.
Think of your cooking as a wine celler for garbage.
3D may be invevitable and unwise to resist, but that doesn't mean film makers should embrace it now. Let's face it, it took 30 years for the movies to really transition from B&W to color. Many great B&W movies were made after the color debut. For decades it made economic sense to stick with B&W.
Likewise, until 3D cameras become cheap and convinient, it may be better for most filmmakers to skip it. In the long run 3D may win. But, if you want to make a film, it's better to make it with the tools at hand, then go the extra mile and expense to make it in 3D.
How many movies really would benifit from 3D? Sure, the summer blockbusters will. And probably animated kids fare. How about a Romantic Comedy? A drama?
I predict it will be a long time before a 3D film wins Oscar for best pic.
What ethical line is that? People paying different prices for goods based on how much they want them, is fundamental to capitalism, to supply and demand.
There are ethical problems if you gouge; charge thousands of dollars to someone for a bottle of water when they are dehydrated and near death.
How else should prices be set? Cost plus some socially approved mark up? What if you find that your goods are continually resold on e-Bay for a much greater price?

That experiement has already be done. Read about Milgram's "Small World Experiement." It's the experiement that originated the phrase "Six Degrees of Separation." Milgram did a rigours version of "write a name and city on a post card and ask a random person to help deliver it."

The article is about Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails is not just a langauge. It is a lanaguage and a web framework. Frameworks very much affect your scalability.
The capital 'S' in Service means they are using their definition and not the dictionary.
At the beginning of the EULA you see that Service menas "Google's products, software, services and web sites"
So basically they are telling you that the data you get directly from Google may not be the raw unfiltered reality. And that makes sense. Google for anything if you want to see a filtered and modified view, although in this case it's a summary.
On Fox, average crap earns over 10 million viewers. American Idol, for example, has over 24 million viewers. Recently Fox averaged 11.2 million viewers per show.
So, when a great show like Dollhouse has less than five million viewers, its time will be limited. Why would Fox be patient with it when they can quickly churn out another shock show that will probably get double the ratings?
The real lesson is 'Don't put quality on Fox' They are not in the business of selling quality.
Yes. It is strange that people consider it normal for their show to be interrupted by attempts to sell crap. The internet shows us a better way-- attempts to sell us crap should happen on a banner down the side the show, or be integrated into the show, or as a pop-up over the show, or at the beginning of the show, or the end, or your show should be broken up into segments each with their own ads that force you to click 'next' before moving on, or via a voice over, or....
Thanks Internet!
Why don't you just print in say 80% blakc? If you have a color printer, you'd have to turn off the printers ability to help out with ink from the color cartridge. But, other than that, this should be the same thing
Mod the parent up! Humans are bad multi-taskers. To be personally productive, to get into the flow, you need to focus on your task witout distraction. Lockups, UI delays and glitchiness knock you out of the flow.
Any time a computer does what you want, when you want it, reducing the amount you have to wait, (Switching between apps, starting a new task, switching between documents or web pages), then that computer will make you a more productive thinker.
Is this kind of test still relevent? All formats sound great at 192kbps and 192kbps seams to be the new default.
Yes there are challenging passages that do not sound the same as a CD at 256kbps. But, I didn't say "sound the same" I said sound great. When you consider that most digitial audio is listened though less than stellar speakers hooked up to less than steller equipment, played in a less than stellar room, any format at 192kbps is great. The endoder is moot.
The unfortunate truth is that a little name recognition increases a movies growth by an order of magnitudue. It doesn't matter how good the movie is.
If you make a good movie with unknown actors, directors and writers? Then you have a tough row to how.
If you make a medicore move with big names? Then you have a cash cow.
Of course the truth is a little less cycnical than I hint at. Many independant movies are utter crap. Big names get to choose their movies. Unknown actors have to take whatever is offered to them. So, in theory, a movie with a big name attached has a better shot at begin good.
Making something self-cleaning by coating it with titanium dioxide seams to pop up every couple of years. There was an effort to make self cleaning kitchen tiles and self cleaning house siding.
These wonderful technologies run into two problems.
One, they only come in one color-- white.
Two, they only work in UV light. So the shady bits can get very dirty-- dirty enough to block the UV and halt the self cleaning trick.
What's the point of having a self cleaning garmet if you have to tumble it for hours under UV light?
People act according to their perceptions and not according to reality. Since Vista only matters when people act to buy it, for Vista, perception is more important than reality.
If a tree falls in the woods and there is nobody there to hear it, does it matter if it makes a sound?
If a decent product sits on the shelf because everyone hears that it's a dud, does it matter if it's decent?
In a large project link Linux where many developers merge code from many sources, picking your license isn't a simple decision. For exmaple, GNU contrubutes the complier and Command Line Tools. Suppose future versions of that software are release in GPL3. Could the rest of Linux resonably stay on GPL V2?
Yes, you could fork the code, but now you've doubled your maintenace and integration time, time which is probably better spent elsewhere.
You could also release a verion of Linux that's both GPLV2 and GPLV3. That would be very sad.
When you say "'Intelligent' cars, a technology that's only exists as a protoype, are only as good has hybrid cars, a technology that exists today." it sounds so much less sensational.

Your questions are their questions. This is a research project and not a production service. They are collecting data to find the answers.
Why on earth would a web site that's closing up do anything to make their customers happy? They will meet their legal obligations and do nothing more.
It's not like they are afraid of losing customers.
