  1. Re:What's the problem? on FOIA Request Shows Which Printer Companies Cooperated With US Government · · Score: 1

    I work at Xerox and it's not a secret, they'll tell you outright that they are there.

  2. Bose had something like this on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 2

    I worked for Bose back in 2005 and they were researching something like this. They were partnering with GM at the time but I think it fell out because the system was too heavy. There's a video floating around on YouTube of a car jumping over a bump using the Bose system.

  3. Re:Can you get false positives? on Software Finds Plagiarism In Research · · Score: 1

    Dice's coefficient is another important one. You can use it to across words, sentences, and paragraphs to determine a similarity measure.

  4. Re:Can you get false positives? on Software Finds Plagiarism In Research · · Score: 1

    I just saw a presentation that described the two basic formulas that these programs use. The important one is to measure Damerau–Levenshtein distance. This can be combined with fuzzy string searching or other algorithms to determine a percentage.

  5. Posts are really late on Ted Stevens and Sean O'Keefe In Plane Crash · · Score: 1, Informative

    Has anyone noticed that stories on Slashdot are showing up well after everyone has heard them from every other source? Why bother reporting it if you're going to report it the day after everyone has heard it.

  6. Airports will still charge on US McDonald's Wi-Fi Going Free In January · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that they will still charge for Wi-Fi at places where a monopoly can be guaranteed like airports.

  7. Yahoo doesn't do their own searches on Mozilla Exec Urges Switch From Google To Bing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure if it was worth including Yahoo as an alternate since they are going to be powered by Bing eventually. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8174763.stm
