The data we have from ice cores goes back at least 250,000 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_core), what you're talking about is satellite mapping of the sea ice extent. For the record, the ice in Greenland is at least 110,000 year old (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet), so, uh.... go peddle your FUD somewhere else coward.
Interesting observation, in an environment where people are trained to use firearms, the weapons are strictly controlled, why not enforce the same good sense in a civilian context?
You mean clouds?, the effect you're referring to is highly dependent on the size of the water droplets. So high levels of water vapour do not necessarily entail high levels of solar reflectance but it does directly entail a positive feedback effect on global temperatures. If you've got references to back-up your assertions, by all means, provide them. But I suspect that anyone using the phrase "Global Warming Alarmists" whilst arguing a point related to climate science has little actual interest in the Science.
The only thing Apple is pissed about is the fact that Amazon is using the App Store to market Android apps. It's specifically mentioned in item 23 of the lawsuit . This is how monopolies are maintained with the blessing of the state, through the use and abuse of stupid patents.
That's exactly what I was thinking, unless AOL is doing something ' amazing ', it's very much likely that the requirements of their DB infrastructure are similar to that of everyone else. The way everyone else solves these problems is through a marraige of well-designed infrastructure and reactive software systems, asfaik. That said, it still sounds uber cool and the ultimate DB toy/tool.
It is perverse, no doubt about that, but there is a logic to it, everything is about knowledge, complex interlinked systems like the global economy are constantly changing and as a result so is the information we have about it. Any trader with the ability to take this raw data and convert it into knowledge about the future value of a stock can make money. It's not simply taking money from someone, it's exploiting the fact that they haven't recognised the true value of the stock. That's the theory anyway.
The real insanity starts when you try to nail down the true value of a stock based on responses to millisecond changes in the markets. No human could ever function like this, so algorithms are encoded with our flawed theories of how to recognise the "true value" of a stock. Assuming the markets behave (or, in more recent terms, consistently increase in value), it's all good, but as soon as the markets start to behave irrationally, these algorithms go apeshit, exacerbated by the fact that there's thousands of these systems all following their own crazy formula, in real time, with real money, now that is perverse.
wow, buddy, you just made a ton of sense with that comment. If it was possible to rate the comment, "god-like in its apprehension of the problem", that's what you'd be getting.
insect sex is notoriously violent, insects do not use sex as a bonding mechanism so there's no pleasure, in the sense we know, associated with it. Many different species have developed various strategies to work around this, such as scrapers on the end of the males penis to remove rivals sperm. I kid you not, god help me, I'm after a bottle of wine and can't be bothered finding the link.
add the ip address and/or hostname of all the hosts you use to access your servers into/etc/hosts.allow. If denyhosts picks up 3 failed logins from a single ip address, that address is added to/etc/hosts.deny, if this happens to be your machine (and you're having a bad day entering your password), you could get locked out of your system.
The levels of Methane on Mars are much higher than expected http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars#Methane . If bacertia could easily survive under the soil in the red planet, than that could explain the source of methane.
slashdot seems the perfect place to ask this question, I'd a like a solution requiring the use of measuring tapes, callipers, several badgers and a laser interferometer
"random crashes on a Vista machine are not a feature and is probably a hardware issue"
How comes this is an issue with vista?, xp and linux work perfectly and in case you haven't noticed, I'm not alone with these kind of issues, I've never had to resort to lies when describing the complete and utter failure of Microsoft to produce something of value, ask yourself this fanboy, how a bunch of volunteers prodcued an operating system that is superior in performance in every way to vista?
sorry buddy, but random crashes on a vista machine are a feature not a bug. I've been using linux for the last 6 years and not once have I had an unexplained crash. I started a new job in a developer environment which is exclusively windows and within the first week my vista machine had to be wiped and reinstalled to solve the problem of repeated and unexplained crashes. Colleagues have had their machines simply reboot for no reason, and the performance of the machine is painful. I can unzip the same file faster in a virtual box linux guest than I can in the vista host, pardon my language, but it's a f**king joke that vista is being pushed as a "replacement"
be careful before committing to a large scale neural network project. Aside from the intuition that the brain is a massively interconnected network, no one is really sure what aspect of neural network functionality is necessary for intelligence. My advice to you is to spend time coming to terms with the abstract nature of intelligence rather than coding up elaborate projects. This link is a philosophical discussion on directed behaviour which I found quite interesting (if a bit vague, which is the mark of philosophy).
Also, as you become familiar with the literature, you will see many examples of algorithms which claim to model certain aspects of intelligence. These algorithms work because they have a reliable and unambiguous artificial environment from which they draw their sensory information. The problem with practical artificial intelligence is that the real world is extremely ambiguous and noisy (in the signal sense). Therefore the problem is not creating an algorithm which can emulate intelligent behaviour but solving the problem of taking the empirical information of the sensory input and producing from that data a reliable abstract representation which is easily processed by the AI algorithms (whatever they may be, neural networks, genetic programming, decision trees etc)
Good luck.
it's not about how many cores you have but how efficiently they can be used. If your CUDA application is any way memory intensive you're going to experience a serious drop in performance. A read from the local cache is 100 times faster than a read from the main ram memory. This cache is only 16kb. I spend most of my time figuring out how to minimise data transfers. That said, CUDA is probably the only platform that offers a realistic means for a single machine to tackle problems requiring gargantuan computing resources.

In 2003, Republicans controlled the house and the senate, I cannot find evidence for your claim that Democrats blocked regulatory legislation which would have prevented the US housing crash. http://uspolitics.about.com/b/2008/09/18/republican-congress-talked-about-financial-reform-but-did-nothing.htm In fact, given the disdain Republicans have for any form of governmental regulation, I find your claim doubtful

Apparently in this universe, sanity prevails, Glen Beck still has his own TV show though, so lets not get carried away :P
Ah!, well said, I've got an Archos A70 and I'm very pleased with it. Not as polished as the iPad for sure but certainly excellent value for money.

It's good to see these trolls taking a hit for once, it always seems like they've got the upper hand, especially with the dysfunctional patent system.

this is a perfect application for an evolutionary algorithm,

perhaps today is the day Satan goes to work in a snow plow?, seriously though, is anyone else a little surprised at this?
an amazing achievement, hopefully a preview of better things to come and a brighter future for us all
