There is a difference between "never been shown to" and "shown to never".

Interestingly, if you remove "rund" it changes from "only 50 yards" to "just 50 meters".

If memory serves Opera was the first browser that had tabs but they were also in Firefox by the time Chrome released.

As someone who was in one of the best low-sec/0.0 pvp corps for several years, I completely agree with you. Theres no other game that quite matches the feeling of dancing around each other until someone manages to pin an important enough target down long enough that both sides have to commit to the fight. PVP between small to medium sized gangs in EVE is the best PVP I've ever participated in.

You indent line A with tabs. You use tabs to line the start of line B up with the start of line A (indentation) and then use spaces to move it the rest of the way to where you want it (alignment).

Comments that take legitimate concerns with the merits of a particular study and dismiss them as misogyny don't add anything to the discussion either.

I run MATLAB on Ubuntu 14.04 every day and have never had any of the issues you're describing. Are you sure there isn't something else going on there?

It almost killed me when mine broke earlier this year and I found out they don't make them anymore. Best mouse I've ever used, and its corpse still has a place of honor at the top of the pile of old hardware in my closet.

Join a PvP corp, fly cheap ships, do just enough missions/exploration/pirating/trading/mining/whatever to keep yourself in ammo, and have a blast shooting people. EVE only turns into Spreadsheets in Space if you make it that way.

I agree that the title could be read both ways, but as someone who works with CV, I knew immediately what it meant. CV outside of a few specific applications on controlled images is only just starting to work at all.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to be disagreeable, just pointing out that this is a very active area of research still, and there is always room for improvement. I work mostly with segmentation and shape analysis instead of registration, but I am involved with a project on multi-modal image fusion, which is even harder (and more interesting).

>The trick with overlaying follow-up scans is called image fusion and is easy and can be done by one-click applications

Just wanted to point out that image fusion is far from easy. The brain is easier than most areas of the body because the skull provides a good basis for performing a registration, but even then the brain has some small room to shift and you can't get a perfect alignment with only rigid transformations, especially when you're dealing with tumors.

For most other parts of the body you have complications like organs shifting around, gas passing through the digestive system, patients being in slightly different orientations, etc. In these cases you most definitely need to use some kind of deformable registration, which is far from a solved problem, especially when you have things like tumors changing shape/size or even appearing from nowhere from one scan to the next.

The issue is when people (seemingly) randomly switch between he/she and his/hers, even within a single context. Then you end up with something like:

"If your child is in the kitchen, make sure she doesn't touch the hot stove. If he does, however, ..."

Even when the switch isn't that abrupt, if someone is switching between he and she every few paragraphs, it can become very distracting. Using singular they solves this problem.

This is also one of its major drawbacks, though, because the features it "discovers" are often not easily interpretable. Sure, you can get good classification performance, which is sometimes good enough.

I work with a lot of scientists, though, who don't just want performance, but insight. This is where neural networks and related techniques still fall short compared to more "traditional" methods.
