Plain and simple. If they standardized tabs with a quantity of space chars in all their editors then it is very, very good news. That's the only way to have consistency across all viewers/editors.
Hmm? You mean that you didn't get the info from a well-vulgarized, to-the-point article with many picture examples? It looked like noise to you?
While I don't have the exact same idea than the author on the subject I understood what he meant clearly in a few minutes, and he didn't try to give me any bullshit or go around extrapolating the meaning of the Universe from it. That's precious info "not" turned into noise.
Since you are a network guy, I guess you could go take a look at those cables in the sea that keep getting cut every few months. I bet the original contractor just put a rock on them so they remain at the bottom but they are all in a tangled-mess and one gets loose from time to time.
The 2D version is "too provocative in its anti-authoritarian message" and draws "attention to the sensitive issue of forced evictions" but the 3D and IMAX versions are ok? And censors realized it one week after they approved the movie and a lot of people already watched it? I'm puzzled. Instead could that be a not-too-harsh message to the USA and the world after last week Google affair?
The thing is, in 2D you realize how crappy the storyline is and are forced to focus on cheezy black&white ethics to discuss it in disgust with friends !:)
Of course, I saw the film in 3D so I don't even remember what it was all about. I think the Blue Man Group made an appearance at some point, and it was about flying mountains, dragons, borderline strange inter-species sex and Americans going back in a sequel to get some proper ass-kicking done?
The fade-in is nice. Not so much because it's a fade-in (which is just visually more pleasant than an instant-display), but because you can visit www.google.com and get a very clean page (google logo, search field, and currently a Haiti relief notice), and just type away (as focus is set to the search field) and be done with it. This is very much like how google.com -was- in the very early days.
Call me paranoid, but the sole reason I see for this change is to hide the "You are logged in as user X" message as much as possible.
Now that Youtube and Gmail (and other services?) accounts are inter-linked and that they ALL provide a "Keep me Signed-In" option which is convenient on a per-site basis, most people are now "signed-in" when doing search queries without realizing it.
Of course, one can argue that you are always "signed-in" in some way and that Google can already provide law enforcers, other businesses and shady influential persons your complete search history unless you go in very big hops to hide your online identity, but that's another story!
I'm glad a lot of research is finally gearing more towards the path of having a small initial program, then feeding it data and letting it grow into it's own intelligence.
This idea is the holy grail of AI since the early ages. The project described is one amongst thousands done, and you'll likely see news about such projects pop every couple of months here on Slashdot.
The problem is that such a project has yet to produce interesting results. The reason why the most successful AI projects you hear about are human-organized databases and expert-systems, or human-trained neural networks for instance, is because they are the only ones that produce useful results.
Also, consider that we are not talking about "pixel-ants" that only have very few possible inputs and outputs, but we are talking about a system that understand and do something meaningful with natural language, something a normal human being doesn't completely grasps until he is at least a teenager, with the constant help of parents, friends, teachers, television etc. all along these years.
That doesn't work. I came to the same conclusion years ago, so I tried it out. It's not that you can't find a girlfriend by doing what you mention, it's that you can't find a girl you'd want to be your girlfriend. I'm a nerd. I don't want a girl who wants to go outside and hang out at club events all the time. I want a girl that wants to sit down and write a nerdy paper with me on something completely inconsequential, and who finds it funny.
I want a girl who shares my interests, I don't want to change my interests just so I can find a girl.
Huhhh... knowing what it is being a geek the last thing I want is a girl geeky like me! I want a hot girl that understands me. That's different, and totally possible.
Is it actually cheaper to upload all the e-mails in a burst instead of using a webmail system where only the mail the receiver wants to receive would be opened? Wouldn't work if they want to read offline I guess but the concern mentioned is bandwidth not connectivity.
Any mail experts comment?
If you read the article you notice that mails sent there are pre-filtered so everything is critical to read and contains no spam.
So yes, uploading all mails neatly packaged together ONCE takes way less bandwidth than a webmail interface, even if it's a very lightweight one (think about it, Hotmail or Gmail probably transfers the same amount of data than 20 or more email messages just to display their fancy interface).
I'm eager to see how this trial's decisions will impact the trial against the LHC physicists team in a few months for causing rapid gravitational earth implosion. At 9M$ for a few km of earth, this could get quite expensive!
The license agreement says you are only allowed to use their BBQ sauce on Microsoft approved pizzas. And before you know, these pizzas will be degraded.
I'd say any pizza with BBQ sauce on it is already pretty much degraded!

Marge clearly showed her tits, please move on to other types of porn.

Do you remember being a kid and told we'd never know what colors the dinosaurs were?
I remember being told that we could in theory breed dinosaurs in test tubes by extracting blood from mosquitoes preserved in amber ...

He finds it surprising that people actually look at government websites?
I find it surprising too! :)
Redundancy turns precious information to noise.

American media cover daily struggle in life 24/24, and Americans tune in.
Daily struggle at 4.

Proprietary software is like pedophilia, sodomy, card counting, or dog fighting. It's sick, immoral, and it harms society as a whole.
But all that stuff ... pedophilia, sodomy, card counting ... can still do this with Open PC, right?

They should have just made the camera control like the same as what was used in Neverwinter Nights.
Give me top-down isometric view, 6 characters and real clerics, and get off my lawn!
Sorry but those magnets clearly weren't used in a normal fashion, warranty void!
I have no clue about how this game work, but judging by the video the big vessels clearly should have gone into Ludicrous Speed mode!
First as noted, FireFox does not really take advantage of multiple Cpu core's and there's no official 64 bit version.
Ahh nostalgia ... who would have thought back then that in 2010 a web browser would ever have the need to take advantage of multiple cores!
But now it's too late, my plan worked perfectly five years ago!!
