I still waiting for some kind of phone etc that isn't crippled in that way. I just don't have a mobile phone now. The operators are creaming way too much off the top and giving so little back.
I have a 10 meg line for a tenner a month to my house and can do pretty much whatever I want with it. The fact that operators charge 5p or what ever to send a 160 byte SMS message, or if I Pay 25 a month for 24 months I can send 500 or 1000 just sucks. It needs to be £5 for a month and including internet access. Some providers charge 60p per meg if you fetch more than the limit per month
Does software like ESX and others (Xen etc) perform this in memory already for running VMs? I.e. if you have 2 Windows VMs it will only store one copy of the libs etc in the hosts memory ?
Also, is there easy way to get multiple machines running 'as one' to pool resources for running a vm setup? Does openmosix do that?
I read this when it was posted, but suddenly in the last day I've started chuckling to myself about this. Awesome phrase, and would be a great name for a rock band. Lol.
Complex printed media material, such as a newspaper, often involve columns of body text, headlines, graphic images, multiple font sizes, comprising multiple articles and logical elements in close proximity to each other, on a single page. Attempts to utilize optical character recognition in such situations are typically inadequate resulting in a wide range of multiple errors, including, for example, the inability to properly associate text from multiple columns as being from the same article, mis-associating text areas without an associated headline or those articles which cross page boundaries, and classifying large headline fonts as a graphic image.
the link in the article points to Parallel, Side-Effect Based DNS Pre-Caching and not Segmenting Printed Media Pages Into Articles ??
Anyway take a scanned page of a magzine or newspaper - what kind of algorithms and checks would need to be done to split these articles as they mention - how would you go about it?
Can anyone see anyway they could apply their 'google magic' to do this in any kind of efficient way?, other than the obvious methods of font size, type, justification, upper/lower / bold etc ?
OK ! - I have a GC sitting here doing nothing since I got my Wii back in 06 or whenever - Putting Linux on the GC could be very nice - how do I go about it? Does it need to be chipped etc? Can I get a 'live cd' and burn it to a 8cm disc?
I totally agree. "It's not working" is usually followed by a bunch of questions like "In what way is it not working" , "What is not working", "it looks working to me" Turn it on and say - "there it's working" etc
Almost impossible to communicate the power of the tiny midge to people unaccustomed to them, but suffice to say currently there is no real effective defence against them.
The wheel of computing - I 've seen this idea referred to here many a time - but when I google the term or similar like 'wheel of reinvention' etc I can't find any definitive article with examples.
I was explaining this to a colleague the other day in terms of how graphics processors keep chopping and changing what they do integrated, not integrated, now we are using the GPU as a massive co-processor, and give it time and it will be rolled back into the main CPU.
Anyway can someone point to a researched article on this phenomenon, I cant even find anything on wiki, or is it just a slashdot thing?
Seems to be a bit dodgy to control, screen keeps jumping, too many buttons at the side. Looking at this shows just *how* much polish Apple put into the Ipad.
If this is the contender/alternative to the iPad then I think Apple have nothing to worry about what so ever.
I'm not even an Apple fan-boi and I don't have any Apple equipment, but the iPad is very appealing for a lot of uses.

Why is every story tagged story? The answer is in your question...
Don't you mean Wharrgarbl?

Can the speed be adjusted like ISO 100-400 etc?
Yes
That's the funniest post I've read all week - cheers :)

analysis and conclusions
I just installed Opera 10.5 and it's decently good enough for me to continue using it .
Go compare! Go compare! If in doubt shout it out, Go compare!
What is this 'Google' you speak of? I've never heard of them.
I think that as caused by the BSOD. ( the Bleu Steak Of Death )
As Austin Powers, international man of mystery would say.

Isn't that a type of Matrox Video Card?

But unfortunately they are still waiting for it to compile, so although willing, are currently unable.
OMGItsPedobear. Just the kind of name for a Wii laptop developer.
Please, no. Either A) Use those browsers or B) request those browsers to be more like Opera.

I don't get this. How will it run faster or slower? doesn't it run at a constant rate.?

I See what you did there.
That whole video just seems a bit suck.
