What is the source of images in the MS COCO dataset? Was it manually photographed for the very purpose of creating a dataset through some group of people? or crawled the web? or some image hosting site?
Anybody know?
Thanks

Actually I was searching for a RTE which has the below features :
change tracking.
Easy Copy from MS Word
Copy from word feature is available in most of the RTE's in the market but none of them are perfect, I like to have the feature as in sharepoint blog where you can create a blog post in word then add it in sharepoint.
Is there a alternative or set of tools/steps I can use to achieve this,
Thanks.
Get in touch with Native Documents. They've been working on a web-based RTE with exactly the features you describe.
Disclosure: I have an interest in this.
Can someone explain to me the aggregation technology behind sites like SideReel?
For example http://www.sidereel.com/the_nine_lives_of_chloe_king/season-1/episode-3/links/9080517
Did they make a spider that automatically fetch the embed links from video owners website like Hulu? Or did they submit all the video links manually?
I'm planning to build a smaller version of video aggregator. Should I use a CMS system like Drupal or code everything from scratch? Any recommendations? I prefer minimal coding because I already have another major component that requires a lot of time.
Thank you all!
Does anyone know of any decent examples of using the royalty free yahoo maps functionality?
I can find lots of examples on google but in order to use google within an intranet they insist on your paying approximately £7k a year.
Any links greatly appreciated, ideally i'm thinking JQUERY plugin .js script and a sample ASP.NET page.
I'd like to display placeholders based on long and lat data in our database, on mouse-over the placeholders (or pins) i'd display additional information from the database, images, links etc
many thanks in advance

I found just the thing at -> http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/maps/examples.html
I am working on a website completely designed in Flex (flash).Can you please help suggesting whether search engines (like google/bing) can index flash content or not.If not then how do the websites made entirely in flash make themselves available on these search engines.
Thanks for your help.
If I recall correctly, Google does index Flash nowadays. Here's an article on how to make Flash pages available to Google. The Adobe SWF searchability FAQ also has useful information.
The article points towards a tool called swf2html which can be downloaded from Adobe (after registering) and extracts a HTML page from the text and links in the SWF. This allows you to view the SWF the way search engines see it, and optimize accordingly.
Google's a good place to start. Several links regarding how Google indexes flash content from this search.
I am developing a website in ASP.NET 3.5 which involves a large number of videos. I am using XML to save the links of the files. Currently, I am facing space issues due to large number of videos. Please suggest how to overcome the problem.
If the number of videos is very large, you will need to move to a more effective storage mechanism than a simple XML file. I'd suggest a database engine (Firebird would likely be suitable for your needs).
Larger hard drive or place them on something like You Tube and embed the videos. Not much choice unless you can use a different comprssion codec and reduce the quality which would in turn reduce the size.
