They don't have too much data, they have insufficient affordable storage.
or insufficient affordable "cpu time". Performing tasks like "Multiple sequence alignment", Finding "Motifs in sequences" and even running a "Basic Local Alignment Search Tool" means using probabilistic models which requires a lot of computation.
You mean 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The idea is very nice. Give people the ability to answer their doorbell from wherever they are.
The proposed implementation of this idea might be an overkill but the by idea itself is still rather innovative.
It basically takes an existing concept of an Intercom and enhances it to become easier to install at home and to be able to reach you wherever you are by establishing a connection to a device you already own.
Completely agree beside of one exception:
I guess Israel's academia is no better than its military or (most of) its politicians
The Academia in Israel is actually considered to be one of the last remaining "Strongholds of the left wing" (I guess it only applies to the Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa universities) and are regularly attacked by the Israeli media because of it.
This is a brilliant idea. It is even field proven in the area's past
Unless of course you are saying I should run DOSBox on Linux on Javascript... which of course is just as mad and cool...
Hehe, true. Yet it does sound like an impending performance trouble. I would have started off with Ally-Cat It wouldn't demand much and it was my first PC game ever
Thanx, it looks very polished and comes bundled with some cool stuff like Commander Keen 4, demo version of X-COM: UFO Defense.
Will try it out on my MacBook.
uuencode / uudecode for the win, right?
uuencode / uudecode are indeed FTW in this case. I can already imagine Firefox Add-ons that make automated use of those and provide you with an FTP-styled Front-End GUI.
Just thinking about all those classic DOS apps that will never see the light of day otherwise
It might make you happy to know that you can already enjoy old classic DOS games on your machine by using DOSBox.
how do you get anything INTO this machine to make it do anything useful?
Well, you could try using copy/paste to echo Base-64 encoded data into a file and then base64 -d it back to binary form on the emulator.
Something is happening that is new, but we can't describe how or why it is new."
Reminds me of "Winter 2008's smash hit" (literally). Conficker.B worm featured a mysterious payload hashing which turned out to be the first known "production" use of MD6
"In 1999, a new virus, Win32/Crypto, was discovered... Today, in 2011, variants of Win32/Alureon are bringing this old-school technique back to life..."
Now I understand.
As a tribute to the 1999 Win32/Crypto, the summery of this article has been formulated like the virus-hoax chain-mails of that era.
They'll have to come up with some alternate gestures
A good alternative might be having the area below the screen become touch-sensitive. Then you can just have a Home-icon drawn there and tap on it (rather then press) to get Home, double tap to open the Task-manager and etc. This might not trigger any Buttonophobia among Apple's upper management. It would be nice if additionally, this area would accept single finger swipe gestures and a two finger pinch gesture that are configurable.
On their What's new in iOS 4.3 page (You need an Apple ID to view link) they wrote:
Test Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad - This beta release contains a preview of new Multi-Touch gestures for iPad. You can use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen; swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar; and swipe left or right between apps. We are providing this preview before releasing them to the public to understand how these gestures work with your apps. Test them and give us your feedback on the Apple Developer Forums.
I attempted a 4-finger-pinch on an iPod-Touch-4th-Gen development device with the latest 4.3 iOS Beta. Beside of being a very uncomfortable thing to perform on a small screen, I didn't notice anything else happening.
I am usually very critical of GMO tech but even I have to say this is cool.
With great GMO tech, comes great responsibility.
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
