For web surfing I right-click and use 'send to'. I use the 'from' (me) and 'subject' to set appropriate filters on Thunderbird. This is then sent to various archive folders in the Thunderbird client and I archive occasionally. Also, highly searchable... sometimes write a small blurb in the body.
I stick to Endnote for papers. Is a little more time consuming but it is better in the long term.,
This has been shitting me of for some time and I'm not an organised person. The important stuff I still use Endnote for. It is the only one that is freely available for me.
After saying that, I *have to* stop using Thunderbird because the Uni I work for is in bed with Microsoft. Must now use Outlook.
I'm willing to bet that they're all over it. And have even considered the possibility of a lot more than your 'average' figures given that a significant event may increase this data deluge. There is a lot at stake with this experiment (series of). A lot of future funding is dependent on how well this project has been managed, down to the smallest (pun originally not intended) detail.
While I mostly agree with you, i'm not sure that anyone would consider 'discarding non-interesting stuff'. Although this is probably semantics given the quality of some of the other statements.
I'd love to write some algorithms to help search/sort this stuff, to sort via probability of interest?
We had an older SGI supercomputer that, as most do, run pretty much flat out with clients crunching numbers, some clients having jobs running for the last 2 years.
One, pretty normal, day I'd requested a root window and was cleaning up some temporary program directories and had typed:
rm -rf
when the telephone rang. It was a client that was unable to connect to the machine from their office. So, to sort things out, I then typed:
cd/etc
and hit the enter key.
It was a while before I was allowed to have another root terminal.
I don't know much about the rest of the world but here in Australia we get slammed with account fees. A fee for this and a fee for that. I'm getting really fuck9ng sick and tired of it. The banks would only pass this cost off to us and manage to roll it into their quarterly profits. For an example, a major bank here (not stupid enough to name names) will charge you 60 cents for logging onto your account via Internet to check your balance - WTF??!!!
I believe, dear sir, that that was nothing short of a cheap shot.
Perhaps a lot of./'ers are 'US citizens' but I believe that most (probably the same proportion as any other country) have something unbiased to contribute. For examples, please read some of the above comments with more care.
Very interesting... currently reading your papers (will take a while). I noticed similar things... the old scaling issue. My phone app worked well for about 10 phones on one floor of the university building I work in but realised pretty quickly the problems of identifying a path from source to dest for a large network. Wouldn't be an issue if I could get our cluster to track users, but I don't want to do this. I want the phone app to do this... all the obvious problems with this.
He would probably have been looking for a decent job over the holidays. Better than flipping burgers over a hot oven. Give the kid a break. This industry thrives on people like him. Don't squash him under your sizable boot.
I began working on some software about this about 18 months ago. I worked on it for about 2 months (in spare time) and found that it was possible but would require trust and 'goodwill'. Something that I dropped because of this.
Anyhow, it worked in this way. Phones with bluetooth have about a ten metre range. A phone will maintain a list of those phones within its range (running the listening software). Then, just as 'router man' developed the router to route packets of data, the phone could route sms (or text) messages. Those people with bluetooth constantly turned on and with the right software installed could sms people where a direct line could be established from source to destination. Each phone could act as both a client and router. Battery time was vastly decreased.
The big problems I ran into was having to write new reversible walk algorithm for unstructured, deformable meshes. I know this is possible but, damn it, just am not that smart.
I'd love to get coding on this again. In a large city this could work very well, well enough for voice communication. I know that people do love to do stuff for the greater good, but whenever I get on the torrent network, I see at most 5 million people worldwide. You need more than this in each nation. You could also hijack other bluetooth networks, but.....
After Martin Bryant murdered 35 people in a killing spree in Australia, John Howard (PM) bought back all guns and then promptly outlawed them. This kind of event has not happened since.
when Martin Bryant went on a killing spree and murdered 35 people, John Howard (PM) immediately called an end of the right of the general public to own guns (in my view, the only good thing he did). The massacre brought about one very good thing, the government bought back all (read almost all) guns and outlawed them.
I know that America has it in the constitution the "right to bear arms" (or something to that effect), but surely as more of these events happen, guns should be removed from society. Yes, I understand that some people *need* guns, dangerous animals and all, and that some crims will still possess them, but eventually all will be removed... reducing the frequency of these events.
Sorry, I'm new to mac.... what is so crummy about the Finder in Tiger? I've had some difficulties using it, but always penned it as user error. What was good about previous implementations?
When I first broke the monitor/DVI barrier, I used a Matrox Triple Head 2 Go. Very Useful. Make sure you have a video card good enough to support 5700x1400 pixels (I run three 23" Apple monitors of one video card - 30" of the other)
That made me feel sad.... very sad. I know that it is a never ending battle against management with little computer knowledge. It's hard to battle ignorance.
But fight you must... don't let the dark side of the force win.
You're probably right. My new house is currently sucking all of our funds. Don't get to spend the amount I used to on toys anymore.. [insert sniff here]
Back to the ray-tracing/ferrari argument, ferraris wouldn't excite you when you spend all your time flying fighter jets. I probably wouldn't waste processor time with real-time ray-tracing algorithms when I can use more interesting volume rendering techniques on our 512 processor Opteron cluster.
However, what would excite me with a PS3, is if you attach some sensors to it, and it reads my mood and plays appropriate music when I get home. Or it tantilises me with some awesome game.. "C'mon... you know you want to..." The home entertainment machine with some simple, old AI attached.... then I'll definately get one.
Yawn!!!! Really, how long is the crap going to keep appearing in the/. headlines?
It's getting old... very old. We get it! It has a little grunt. Who keeps posting all of this totally amazing crap? Is it some Sony PR agent who's using/. for advertising... saying "Here you go you geeks, by the way, buy lots of these and tell everybody what else you can get it to do. Eventually somebody will do something extremely cool, like getting it to launch itself into orbit. Then everybody else will want to get there hands on a PS3 as well. I'll get a bigger bonus."
I frequently download/upload large datasets to/from our supercomputer regularly from home (I can't quite escape work - I rather enjoy it). So, they are telling me that this is most likely an illegal process? How DRM assuming of them.

Bravo! I was extremely happy to read this. The advantages, for both consumer and manufacturer, will be plentiful.
I know this will never be read, but just want to go on the record.
yep ... that'll teach yah.

Actually not sure how it's related. That happens a lot here.
But I'm not sure how you got moderated as a troll for asking.

Can we get news worthy stuff please.
I have two 30" screens. Fell in love. Get used to it though. Am now looking at getting a Matrox triple head 2 Go. That way I can have more!!
I use my quad core for producing 8d scientific visualisations .... to double that work output on my desktop would be quite welcome.
