Slashdot Mirror

I attended two school districts in my high school career. One was poor. One was not.

Poor

Not

Note the various statistics, but pay close attention to the SAT and PSSA section at the bottom.

I have circumstantial evidence. What have you to defend your statements?

Uh, no, the Google Cache is here, you linked to the original.

Uhm... wait... a Google Press Release isn't in the Google Cache yet... who would have figured?

Unfortunately, many patents issued these days fail the "high school kid" test. I'm sure they know exactly where they are going when they type in markhammil.geocities.com. While in theory a patent should be non-obvious... Can you say, 1-click shopping?

The site you reference is out of date, as methods of doing business have been declared patentable, as have mathematical formulas and many medical treatments. Again, 1-click shopping springs to mind. The Patent office has declared that it will accept patents on integer numbers. Apparently floating point numbers are not precise enough for the protection of the law. And while I can't think of a patent on a new revolutionary way to do CPR, there is a thriving industry on patenting drugs and devices for medical purposes.

Furthermore, as friends in law school have told me an this site repeats, only about 1% of patents are ever litigated, and as such only about a thousand patents per year are thrown out. That's out of 20,000 or so that are filed. Which means that the average patent has a 99.5% chance of holding as true.

Remember, Bezos' Bozo* one-click patent held up in court.

*I'm sure he's never heard that one before. Well, consider it a form of punishment Mr. We-must-have-business-process-patents.

Not so...it..splatters a lot of birds

VERY VERY few birds run into windmills. no more or less than any other man made object. This is bunk.

Myth: Wind farms pose a serious threat to birds.

Fact: Any tall structure presents a risk to birds, but the threat from wind turbines is not only very small, it is also one of the most intensively studied of all risks to birds. To put this risk into perspective, US bird experts Curry and Kerlinger have estimated that 100 million bird deaths a year can be attributed to domestic cats, compared to an estimated 5 to 10 thousand killed by turbines - meaning cats' risk to birds is at least 10,000 times greater than that posed by wind turbines in the US. The Exxon Valdez oil spill alone is estimated to have killed up to 500,000 birds. New research at operational Australian wind farms indicates that risk to birds may be even less than first expected, and well below the predicted levels from models that were run as part of the approvals process. The research found not a single mortality for rare or significant bird species

(Original link, only use if mine is down and YOU are going to mirror.)

reg.exe is the command line version of regedit. Other than registry permissions, you can do anything you want with reg.exe that you can with regedit.

You can switch your shell from explorer to cmd (or command, for win9x), but you still have the GUI, and you still have to use it for many tasks.

It's true that a GUI window manager is permanently in the Windows background. But that's a nitpicking detail. I've worked with cmd.exe as my login shell for awhile now and I can attest to the fact that it's not necessary to resort to GUI clicking. I even operate Winamp straight from the command line, with a program I wrote that calls the Windows API function SendMessage().

For just as Mr. Kerry has a record as a naval officer that is universally praised, he has a record as an antiwar activist that is widely despised. A leading voice in the notorious appeasement group Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW ), which frequently demonstrated under communist banners even as American servicemen were under fire, Mr. Kerry should now be called upon to defend that record, or to apologize for it. What does Mr. Kerry say now about having defamed American servicemen before Congress in 1971? About participating in "Hanoi" Jane Fonda-financed stunts and protests? About North Vietnamese Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap's 1985 assertion that without the antiwar efforts of such organizations as VVAW , Hanoi would have surrendered? And what does he have to say about the tens of thousands of executions, the torture and the re-education camps that the North Vietnamese inflicted on South Vietnam after the American withdrawal?

You'll need OpenOffice or (ewww) MSOffice to read it. Alternatively, there's a Google cache, but it isn't very interesting without the images.

Well, where do i sign up for that? I mean, it's not like it wasn't bad enough the first time. Let's analyze the psychoanalytic value of VR treatment for PTSD patients in a more C-esque manner:

The idea is that the patient has repressed or supressed emotions from the traumatic event. In order for them to be cured, they must fully experience these emotions. One way of bringing out the repressed/supressed emotions is to have the patient relive the event.

Until they deal with the repressed/supressed emotions, they will have symptoms which the mind creates as a distraction to prevent the emotions from surfacing.

I think we all experience something like this at some level. Take a look at this:

These ideas don't get enough attention and its suprising how few people understand them. And I can vouch for it working myself.

I think we all experience something like a mild form of PTSD. Basically, we repress or supress emotions on a regular basis. It's very important for us to actually experience these emotions fully, otherwise we may exhibit symptoms which try to distract us from these repressed/supressed emtions.

Read all this for one such application of this idea:

There is: AnkhSVN.

VS.NET plugin. (project page, with downloads, normally here but currently blown away by the load. Maybe grab it from the Google cache of the page but that too seems to be overloaded. Oh well. You could always use TortoiseSVN instead.)

There was an old VC++ plugin "Subway" but it sucks.

Probably the best known such case concerning a noncommercial station involved WXPN-FM, a Philadelphia station licensed to the University of Pennsylvania. In December, 1975, WXPN-FM was fined two thousand dollars for the broadcast of obscene material in connection with a live, weekly, call-in program, "The Vegetable Report." Notice to Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 57 F.C.C. 2d 782 (1975). During the shows in question, callers carried on sexually explicit conversations with the disc jockeys that included the words "fuck," "piss," and "titties" and discussed "beating off" and "blow jobs." During one call, a three-year old boy was asked if he could say "fuck" and the mother of the boy was told that she should let her son "screw" her so he wouldn't turn out to be a rapist.

Slowaris 10?

How about Solaris 11?

You are pretty uninformed, no offense. :)

These games were already ported to the Xbox and/or GC for America - that is why there is controversy. These ports won't be released in Europe because Sony paid money to ensure that.

And the Xbox has done pretty okay in Europe. Almost a million more sold than the GC. Why you would think it would sell like it does in Asia is beyond me - are Europe's tastes generally closer to America (where Xbox is currently #2), or Japan?

This is truly a terrible thing. Just the other day I saw a recipe on how to make vanilla coke.

Lots of crappy solutions for both the Xbox and the PS2, but no solutions crappy or otherwise for the Cube.

Incorrect. (This is a Google cache link)

It is true, though, that the size issue has slowed down progress in the Gamecube piracy scene. I just don't think that that particular benefit nullifies the costs in data capacity and capital involved. I agree with the Slashdotters who say that Nintendo went with the small discs because its parent company is an optical disc manufacturer. This is the only reasoning that makes any real sense to me.

Rob

There are rich text editors (Google cache) that are compatible with both browsers.

I would agree that sites such as TeacherReviews and Slashdot have a slightly more unique standpoint legally, but I don't think TeacherReviews should have been taken down.

The site clearly stated that the postings were only the opinions of the students posting them, and not those of the site itself, in its legal disclaimer (Google cache). If any libel is to be brought forward, it would be against the student who posted the comment, not the site. Dylan should, theoretically, be in the clear.

However, since he does run a site that could have a slight effect on a professor's career (not that the review boards should be reading this site anyway...) he should also find some way to moderate the reviews. It might not have to be exactly what Slashdot uses, but at the very least give the [registered] users a "Trash this review" button or an Amazon-esque "Was this review helpful?" button. Self-feedback is a powerful thing, as long as it has accountability. To that end, I also think that you should have to be a registered user to post a review or moderate someone else's review, but should have the option of hiding your identity when others read the review you have posted, in case the professor is the petty type who would adjust grades or other opportunities for something like that. You don't have to tell the professor who you are, but the site administrator knows.

But, of course, IANAL.

Yeah drive imaging is great, I just migrated my web server. All with just dd and ssh.

~And this was October 2003

All the IP addresses are 127.0.0.1, and the domain names are a collection of spammers, popup sites, banner dealers, etc., most of whom you'd rather not talk to. (Of course, that works better if you've got a web server that rejects everything, or sends back blank 1x1 GIFs.)

The equivalent for .com is obviously much bigger - I think there are ~35 million names (maybe that includes .net). But that's still about 5GB of highly compressible data - probably about 1GB if you sort it appropriately first. That's about the size of a Linux distribution - use BitTorrent. That's about 3 hours on a T1 line, and most of the people who need it are ISPs anyway (so it's about 10 minutes on a T3.) Probably doesn't change by more than 20% a month, or 1% a day.

According to an October 2002 study, 98% of queries to the F Root Server (and therefore probably to the other root servers) are unnecessary. Either they're duplicates (75%) or they're for bogus TLDs (.localhost, .elvis, .corp, etc.) or they're in-addr.arpa queries for RFC1918 addresses, or they're some other bogus query, and they should have been served out of cache or handled by some ISP's DNS instead of bothering the roots. Maybe the A Root has some important functions, but they aren't what it spends its time on. And 50% of the queries come from about 220 servers - they should either be caching responses, or be shuffled off to some server that handles them (I guess anycast will help with this...) as well as cleaning up their act if they're broken, which some of them are.
