I like what Greplin is trying to do , but I wont sign up for an account. I am uncomfortable authorizing one service to access so many of my accounts. Edit: Greplin doesn't request usernames or passwords. I updated my comment accordingly.

I received a few complaints when I posted the results of round #1 and it hit the homepage. You might want to change the title to something ambiguous about who won.

Sorry about that. If I post the scores again, I'll do so w/o giving away anything in the title.

Thank you for the offer. I did some more research and I found a few good resources for normal Jeopardy games. I have less of an itch to scratch right now, so I think I will just hack on my main project tonight.

You should add the "rel=nofollow" attribute to the links that you show on your website. You can damage your search engine rankings with spammy outbound links.

I whole-heartedly agree. You don't need to do anything yourself, except for releasing the data. Please don't, under any circumstances, delete the dataset. Edit: Regarding your original question, I think that a torrent would be much more use

I didn't think of it until now. I assumed that the official IBM site would have a way of tracking Watson's progress.

Does anyone want to create a community site for the contest? I am looking for another Django developer who can participate in an all-night code sprint. The site would: 1. Show an online score board. 2. Track Watson's performance (like shkb

You can only see the browse page when you are logged in. Most people glancing at the page probably didn't create accounts - I plan on playing around with the service and I still haven't created an account.

Use it however you want. However, don't post a comment if you aren't willing to explain why you disagree with a well thought-out post.

I see the same now, but there was originally a slideshow and site tour. Here is a summary: 1. You start a story and invite a few friends 2. Your friends take turns writing small sections of the story, in a predetermined order. 3. Other user

I think Tycho would agree. If the comment improved the discussion, it couldn't have been "bad for the world."

Perhaps you were being sarcastic and trying to illustrate situations in which someone downvoting is useful. :) If not: Just because you have the freedom to do as you like, that does not mean that your decision is automatically correct. Th

If you have a wordpress blog, you can try out Disqus and it will keep your comments even if you disable it. I used Intense Debate for my Wordpress blog. After some annoyances, I disabled it and switched back to Wordpress' own comments. I'll

This looks interesting. I wonder if it will have any influence on NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month.) Link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/ On a slightly different note, I did NaNoWriMo this year with a friend. I would have loved a way to

How are you doing eye detection? Edit: I asked the same question on Twitter. Kilian response is below: "Python-opencv and HAAR cascades, first I detect faces, then I detect eyes. :)" ( http://twitter.com/?status=@kilianvalkhof%20&in_rep

Sometimes people let obvious duties slide when they are busy, overwhelmed with work, or enthralled with something new and exciting. Thank you for the reminder.

The article is interesting, but it is also an example of sensationalist journalism. All spacecraft and even regular aircraft use computers to make critical flight decisions faster than humans can. That is not artificial intelligence, and ne

Yeah, having already looked at the site I decided to post a description even though I obviously wasn't going to vote up. Is even that discouraged?
