The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab reports results from a search for e oscillations, using a data sample corresponding to 5.66×1020 protons on target. An excess of 20.9±14.0 events is observed in the energy range 475EQE1250MeV, which, when constrained by the observed events, has a probability for consistency with the background-only hypothesis of 0.5%. On the other hand, fitting for e oscillations, the best-fit point has a 2 probability of 8.7%. The data are consistent with e oscillations in the 0.1 to 1.0eV2 m2 range and with the evidence for antineutrino oscillations from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Yeah, well, no fine...
So why not do the same with all online media? Phone conversations: Real-time filtering of copyrighted material, trade marks and naughty words, and while we are at it, do the same with Radio, Television, Books and Newspapers... Yeah, that will work very well indeed.
Aristotle, 250 BC, "The Aim of Man": "Even supposing the chief good to be eventually the aim for the individual as for the state, that of the state is evidently of greater and more fundamental importance both to attain and to preserve. The securing of one individual's good is cause for rejoicing, but to secure the good of a nation or of a city-state is nobler and more divine."
That impact crater is dwarfed by some other structures on earth:
The Bushveld complex in South Africa is several hundred kilometers across, but it is so old (> 2 billion years = half the age of the earth) that it is not clear how it formed. Either a gigantic volcano, or a gigantic metor impact could have caused it.
I thought Java died years ago already, since it was pummelled by just about every other interpreter - Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Java Script, VB... those are all better in some respect and far more popular.
It is funny that you mention MS as an alternative. MS has been in sharp decline for several years and recovery is not in sight yet. Just look at their stock price.
Well, obviously the LSE wanted a real-time system and Accenture and Microsoft used.NET, which was a total failure on their part. You cannot do real-time with.NET - Idjits...
Then on top of being dog slow, it fell over, costing the LSE a ton of money. So they probably implemented it with an Access DB and Exchange mail server as well.
So, MS touted this as a major win and then fell on their asses.

I am finding more and more that ordinary folks use Skype for their business and private calls. It works fine for a one or two person Mom and Pop Shop. So ordinary folks are getting very open towards VoIP in general.
In my humble experience, 3 out of 3 pieces of Sony kit I bought were pieces of shit and ended up in a landfill.
I have bought other pices of junk kit from other manufacturers too, but they did not have the overblown price and brand name and not 3 from the same brand were bad either.
So I don't buy Sony kit anymore. Nuff sed.

The effect is clear. If you want to distribute or watch movies online, use a torrent or a low rate codec.
It would have been cool for the granny at home on Skype crowd if it had a built-in camera. So I bought granny a netbook.
This is exactly what the FSF has been arguing against for so many years. It is hard not to gloat about it.
Every program evolves until it can send email. Can Firefox do that yet?

Doesn't Penguin paperback books hold a patent on advertising inside novels?
I made thousands of dollars from removing crapware on Limewire infested machines. Now what am I gonna do? Sniff...

Even worse, TFA doesn't state whether it is US or British Galons. Getting 70 miles per British gallon is old hat.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but you won't live long enough to wear out your SSD.
What could be more odd or special than a text browser?
$100 million? I knew that the dollar was devalueing but dropping to such a low level is really scary.
Damn, now what will astronauts eat when they get there?

Rice.
The USA is the world's largest producer of rice.
Hmm, or you could use Abiword, OOo or god forbid, Google Wordly for $0.00. Tough decision...
MS hasn't invented anything new in the previous 10 years either. Whatever they got, was always purchased from someone else.
