I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up "money laundering" in a dictionary.

Would it really have been too difficult to type out the words "Real Time" Search, instead of "RT" in the title? Don't assume that your audience knows every acronym that you do.
Comment: Steve Job's mobile platform strategy (Score 1) 483
I think it is hyperbole to say that "Steve Jobs is betting his mobile platform on the demise of Flash". Steve may not like Flash, but if Flash continues to exist it does not spell death for the iPhone/iPad. Those iDevices will continue to exist perfectly fine on their own regardless of whether Flash exists or not.

It's significantly better than "really quite good". It is EXCELLENT. It's very quick, and the searches it executes can be VERY customizable. Let's say you wanted to fly from NYC to LAX, only on United, with exactly 1 stop, and that stop MUST be in Chicago. ITA can perform that exact search for you. It's really quite amazing how well it works.

The race portion of the Canadian Grand Prix was on Fox that weekend. Fox does 4 races during the middle of the season.
It was actually quite an interesting race, too bad you missed it.

When I first read the summary, I thought that the 3 google executives were the ones who DID THE BULLYING. The Title certainly doesn't make it clear either.

bleedingpegasus sends word that the US Air Force will be grabbing up 2,200 new PlayStation 3 consoles for research into supercomputing. They already have a cluster made from 336 of the old-style (non-Slim) consoles, which they've used for a variety of purposes, including "processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and 'neuromorphic computing.'" According to the Justification Review Document (DOC), "Once the hardware configuration is implemented, software code will be developed in-house for cluster implementation utilizing a Linux-based operating software."
