The problem with computers and "feeling fast" though is that it tends to wear off.

Either they've been hacked again, or they're really onto it now. The page is now blank with the text: "We'll be back soon."

It's actually a lot more like the travelling salesman problem, for which there are no algorithms (well, some heuristical algorithms).

Wow, isn't a democracy with such a powerful lobby grand?

"I am thhe emerging media strategist" That's funny, I wonder who is emerging, him or the media. ;)

A similar argument actually goes for experiments that are somehow affected by computer networks. If scientists use grid-computing, cloud-computing, or just the plain regular Internet, there is no way to accurately reproduce results for dist

If this was truly an AI approach then the reprogramming would not be necessary. Reprogramming Deep Blue is like replacing Kasparov with Anand, halfway through the match.

The circumstances of that match are still very very shady. Deep Blue prepared for the match using full knowledge of every game Kasparov ever played. Kasparov was not granted access to any game that Deep Blue ever played. During the match

That doesn't make him plural though ;) (The article appears to show only his personal view, not that of others)

tabs and spaces are different things to the Python interpreter. If you really want to, you can mix them in your code. But you cannot mix tabs and spaces on the same indent level.

I would think that if the prices are not set in the contract, and the prices are subsequently raised each year, then you're changing the terms of the contract. IANAL, but I would think that that entitles you to get out of the contract.

The introduction is a nice piece of trivia. However, it bears almost no relation to the message that the story is supposed to convey. ("Legal support f-ed up reading a contract" versus "being careful about designing a UI")

I don't know about the US, but over here in the Netherlands any service must respond to a request to remove your records. They must comply, or provide a very good reason why your comments/submissions must remain. (In discussions comments ca

I wonder how many people are going to use this as an excuse to be a bastard.

The CEO took it in stride, amazing. The reporter on the other hand did not seem to realise how good a job he had just done.

You mean the "Getting Things Done" chord that's been singing around the Web for almost a decade?

If I look at how I try to target these keys (on my MacBook Pro), I hit the top ridge of the keyboard, and then hit the top of the function key. The vertical size of these keys doesn't matter much then. Same for the loose keyboard, I hit the

I don't know, but any half-decent front wheel (hub, spokes, inner and outer tire) will already set you back at least $50. And there are lots of different other parts on a bike. Even in the Netherlands where we have a mass market for cheap b

This already exists in the Netherlands, called the "OV-fiets" (public transport bicycle). You take a subscription (€10 a year), and then using a card you can rent a bicycle at almost any railstation for a little less than €3 for 18 hours. Y

The claim for having the busiest bicycle street of the west is frankly ridiculous. The guy must never have been to the Netherlands. I myself live in Utrecht, and we have streets that see more than 2000 bicycles at 8:30am, let alone at 11am

The only interesting bit from this article is that there seems to be only one shareholder of Fusion Garage, while it was previously suggested there were more. The rest of the article is mostly hear-say and conjecture.

Makes me wonder how Google got that subnet though. They really weren't around when those A-nets were being handed out.

It's not in the settings, it's the "draft" tick box at the bottom of the textbox.
