   There are several approaches. I'm not sure what this software uses, machine translation of the site suggests samples. Pitch shifting samples is one way to do it. A singer is recorded singing a syllable and that is shifted up or down by

   There is a far more complete list of BSOD STOP codes, including links to relevant MSDN articles, at http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html The Maximum PC article seems to be a reasonable troubleshooting guide from the brief l

   This is a great idea! You could apply genetic algorithms to the process. Pick the most popular and productive computers and re-image from these, eventually identifying the optimal configuration. Popularity of a shared resource could have no

   What a great way to extend the usefulness of an obsolete foundry! I'm guessing that they're using hydroponics and carefully regulating the mineral supply to achieve the desired potassium levels.

   Slate ( https://www.useslate.com/ ) is a relatively new product that does just that. Even the built in features like cell naming are little known and little used by many spreadsheet creators, leading to avoidable mistakes.

   Yes, this really clarifies how this may be misplaced paranoia. While I won't ever completely discount extreme paranoia when it comes to government spy agencies, I think this is a distraction from more relevant issues. "On Saturday

   That's very true. I'm thinking more of the about.com type of results (which would also qualify for your description of a well funded competitor). Perhaps I was too disparaging of Google's changes, overall they're increas

    I hope she has something bigger, better, and more exciting to move on to. She's well-respected due to her role in shaping Metafilter to what it is today.

    I just commented on HN yesterday on the success of Metafilter's model of charging a gatekeeper fee for posting. Maybe a one time fee is enough to keep spam at bay but not enough to pay moderators. The bigger issue seems to be Google&#x

    I've seen this model successfully used on a variety of small and medium sized communities, Metafilter likely the largest example. While it doesn't seem to generate runaway fortunes, it allows online communities to survive the onsl

    I agree. Lap and sector times, RPM, ERS status, and current gear all seem more useful and are all featured more heavily on the Ferrari screen mentioned elsewhere in this thread, sample screens from McLaren Electronics, and the older LED dis

    Collateral damage from a poorly designed worm would be one thing I'd worry about. We've seen multiple vector attacks, I could imagine one gaining a foothold within the network and another component of the attack interfering with m

    So in a moment of Sunday night serendipity, I liked the video enough to follow the link to Will's consultancy site and then his personal site[1], where I was intrigued enough with the interface to click through a few items. Seeing the

    This benchmark [1] shows little difference between DDR2 and DDR3 running on enthusiast hardware. DDR3 runs at a lower voltage which is supposed to result in some power savings, especially critical in most server applications, but their benc

    I think one would leave the source alone and encourage the copyright holder on the GPL'd code to bring a civil suit for violating the terms of the license rather than trying to enforce personally enforce the GPL.

    I was wondering that as well. It wouldn't be too hard to pull individual frames out of synced movies, script panotools to assemble stitched frames into spherical or other panoramas, and then reassemble into movies. I've seen comme

    I'm curious about this as well so I did some searching. Fay[1], a subset of Haskell that compiles to JavaScript, seems to be the primary choice. There are DOM and jquery bindings for it and this blog post[2] looks like a great introduc

    Anyone interested in this event or feeling inclined to speculate on the cause, mechanisms, and outcomes of the disappearance of Flight 370 should read a couple of the most recent threads on the topic over at airliners.net[1]. Their forums a

    Sounds like another fun bit of code golf if some of the more aggressive compression algorithms aren't already picking up on the bit level changes (I believe they do).

    If the only thing you’re doing is coming up with a single number, then you’re doing arithmetic, not visualization. ... And I think that the goal of visualization is not finding elaborate ways to encode information. I try to encode as lit

    Awesome! Your journey is quite inspirational as well. There's some weirdness remembering locations I search for before I sign up and across the boundary when it asks me for a signup but works great once I've logged in.
