Is it an active thing? Does it learn and adapt to your pull style as you grow as a marksman? A lot of my range time is spent trying to smooth out my trigger pull. As I get better, does the gun recognize this change in pull style? Does it al

The coursera Machine Learning course references an algorithm that can separate speech from noise, which a fairly high degree of accuracy. May be worth looking into. Noise removal tools like audacity tend to introduce "watery" or "bubbly" ef

Well, the movie was fairly popular, and did raise a lot of awareness for people not directly involved in the farming or GM production dialogues. That, or because it's easier to dismiss someone's argument by discrediting their words.

I do this with movies sometimes. I don't always feel like watching things in my crappy local theater, so I'll buy a ticket online, and then torrent the film. Still illegal, but.. my conscience is at least clear.

I have literally no idea what you're arguing against, or where you came up with any of your arguments. I did not mention people not reading, nor people not reading varied things, nor compensation, nor self publishing. So confrontational, ge

I read a pretty interesting article, in Delta's Sky mag of all places, about GrooveShark and similar services. Companies that are successfully flourishing in spite of piracy seem to have a common thread among them; they view piracy as the c

Along a very similar vein, in an interview with Forbes, HBO basically expressed the view that watching things on the internet is a temporary phenomenon. It shows how out of touch a lot of these people are. Wanting content fast is "unreasona

Source for the C02 being previously higher? I don't have the figures handy, but on my recent read through of Muller's take on the subject, I thought C02 was currently at its highest. I think the specific chart referenced was a NASA one, if

I like 'em, too. What terrible ordeal that we must push the shift bar while typing. Honestly, I've always found them to be more human readable than CamelCase.

How do you handle that sort of thing? Is there a cut-off or something? I've never done any web development, but I can see how this would be a hairy situation.

I think the problem is that the "old" people just don't understand the bills. Call it Counter-terrorism, or anti-child-porn and you've got people signing because having a " nay" on a loosely languaged bill probably means fodder for attack a
