My local community college has some access to scholarly journals. My vo-tech high school had a limited selection as well. One thing I can say for sure is the selection and the search mechanic were pure shit. A broad search returned full articles that weren't even remotely relevant. A search that was even slightly refined would only turn up abstracts and citations. My school boasted having access to EBSCOhost(apparently the Google of scholarly journals) but I found it to be the least helpful of our resources.
Maybe tuition at some fancy 4 year schools pays for more journals, but the selection at my local community college wasnt great.
I think AMD is a bit lost on this one or atleast they dont understand the point of benchmarking
AMD's largest complaint is that SM2012 doesn't represent the market well enough, employing high-end workloads that the regular consumer doesn't care about
As far as i know benchmarking is about pushing the tech to its limits to see what it can do or at least how it does against a standard heavy load. Your average user whose surfing the web, checking email, playing/streaming media or playing games probably isnt going to stress new hardware all that much. Aside from gaming, hardware from 5 years ago is still up to that task.
I think they are pissy because they dont stand up well to the competition.
A mother's relationship with her biological child starts with the very moment that child comes from her body. The erratic emotional state of a mother(crazy love or crazy hatred) helps build that bond from the start. Breastfeeding for the very first time, and time again after that. According to the women i've shared this story with, these are crucial moments in the bonding process. Obviously adoptive parents arent going to get this start. Thats not to say they wont love the child, but this is part of that special nurturing that they miss out on.
How can you criticize a woman for doing something like this? She wants to have her own child by any means necessary that's her decision to make. There has been and always will be a different sense of nurturing from the womb onward. My mother is a mother of 4 but a mom to 14+(and this number grows.) She will show love and kindness to any child that comes into her life, but with her 4 boys there's something special. Im sure this is true of any caring mother. It takes a special kind of caring and compassionate person to be an adoptive parent. I applaud these people and I am thankful that they exist in the world, but as a man there will be nothing more special to me than to hold my baby that came from the connection i share with my partner. I know she will feel the same.
How about you focus your misdirected anger at the men and women of the world who choose to spread their legs without thinking of the consequences. Why should they go about their activities with the idea that "meh, someone will adopt this baby." I understand that not every woman has a choice. Some are forced into screwed up situations and they would rather adopt than abort, but these cases are outnumbered by the idiots who engage in senseless acts of procreation.
the kid is 15. Another few years and this wouldnt have been newsworthy. It's good to see young people taking initiative though. Not only did he have the business sense to do something, but it was obviously something someone else thought could be worthwhile enough to purchase. kudos indeed. I certainly wasnt thinking like this 8 years ago.
When I took programming courses in high school syntax errors were part of the learning process. Intermixing logical statements and watching things go wrong was also part of that process.
You do not learn to write by cutting and pasting paragraphs from a novel.
i dunno if a simplistic approach is really the best way to keep uni students in the game. As soon as things get tougher they're going to head for the hills
I wouldnt leave it up to $_megacorp to decide what is best for my kid unless I vetted their content first. Stuff from websites like NickJR, CatroonNetwork, PBS, Disney and the like all offer kids content that i find appropriate for my 5 year old niece, and its stuff that she is interested in.
If you have any sort of programming knowledge there are a few resources on the web that detail writing simple web crawlers in $lang_du_jeur. Create your own solution that grabs content from sites you approve of and organizes them on an intuitive and kid-friendly web page. Personally, I find this to be a bit too much work, because there are simpler methods to get content for kids
I set up a special firefox install for my niece using Firefox Portable, a carefully configured whitelist add-on, and of course AdBlock Plus I set up bookmarks that link to the flash-game pages of her favorite sites and put them in their own toolbar. This last one is a bit iffy, but i bookmarked youtube searches for her favorite music artists like "hannah montana lyrics" I havent done any research yet, but i also wanna look into creating an image overlay for the youtube video so it'll play audio but she wont see video. Something like Stylish or a Greasemonkey userscript should accomplish that with ease. The setup is easy for her to use. She only has the occasional problem when a site changes its layout and she cant figure out how to start a game.
My guess is that you were the one in 7 billion teenager that was immune to raging hormones. Take a look at daytime TV and its quite apparent that having kids isnt the hard part. Raising them is where the trouble begins
I have never been overly paranoid about purchasing things online, but I made my first online purchase with a bank-drawn giftcard. I've done the same thing since. I think some banks even offer disposable card numbers for primary accounts.
I visit my bank to purchase a gift card and they will register it to my name and address. I set a pin I have never used for another account, and im good to go.
A company like Samsung actually has an advantage over Apple since they make both screens and semiconductors. So they really do have lower costs than Apple, and should be able to settle for lower margins as well. The prices should come down.
Thats not actually the case. Synergy doesnt necessarily come easy for corporations that have a hand in everything. Samsung may make both led screens and soc, but if its more profitable for another company to purchase those soc you can bet thats what Samsung will do.
This was discussed a few months back when Samsung was producing chips for Apple. Ya, Samsung makes their own tablets and phones. Apple can afford to pay for more units, so they get the contract....not Samsung's own division. Its what keeps corps like that afloat. Otherwise its hard to have a hand in everything.
I know that the script kiddie running the application on his PC is just as guilty as the author of the tool, but wouldnt it be wiser to to find the one(dev or dev team) who commands the horde(script kiddie collective)?
An arrest is an arrest i guess. As long as law enforcement has something they'll run with it.
People need to start patenting dumb software ideas; not just the great ones.
How many $obnoxious_sound or $picOfTheDay apps do we really need? Some dumb schmuck needs to claim those ideas and put a limit on entrants to that cesspool.
Im not sure what happened to it or why they stopped developing it, but Google Wave was an awesome tool for doing just this. It was on the net, so it was cross compatible. It handled a wide array of file formats. It was searchable and it had a collaboration element that held on to revisions quite nicely. The API was open so others could develop their own solutions. Its a shame it went the way of the buggy
I thought teenagers the world over left voice communication in the dust for the much more trendy sms/mms. With a home networking setup, cheap webcam and some programming sense it wouldnt take much to set up an interactive door bell.
1. Visitor rings doorbell.
2. Webcam takes a snapshot and sends mms to cell phone
3. ???
4. profit!

Dont do anything to piss off a vengeful hacker collective.
Lemme draw some parallels to home burglary. Your opportune thief is going to look at one or 2 attack vectors. If he cannot get in he'll move on. Contrast this with a professional burglar. He'll watch a target for days, weeks or months all while taking precious notes about weaknesses in security like a time of day where the property is unguarded or maybe a fault in your automated garage door. He's determined to get inside for something and eventually he will. It's far better to be shrugged off by the opportune thief than grab the attention of the professional burglar.
Truth be told, you're going to forget something or there will be an attack vector you simply cannot do anything about. There's no such thing as 100% secure. I'd rather be a target for a script kiddie whose exploiting known and patched holes than piss off a group of dedicated hackers who do their own pentests and wont give up til they've found something to bring you down.
That's not cut and dry though because it depends on the personalities of people within the group.
If you have a bunch of motivated and intelligent people, each can voice his or her opinion on what they can bring to the table to get the project done. Another situation with a mixed bag of motivation and lazy would net you a few people(or maybe one) taking on leadership roles. A third group consists of a bunch of lazy morons, so no work gets done at all.
When I was in high school we had a comprehensive Office 2003 textbook that covered MOUS objectives for each of the core office applications. That textbook was published by Thompson Course Technologies. Im not sure if they have been bought out or changed in that time, but I found a Cengage textbook that covers the material for 2010. The book I studied from explained a particular concept, applied that concept, and reviewed that concept. Every few concepts was followed by a test. My instructor followed the method provided by the book, and it worked well.
Use a similar approach with programming. Find a suitable starting language and find a book that follows the concept-tutorial method. To make things a bit more challenging in this area my instructor gave us custom projects that went outside the scope of the objective text, but still relied on lessons we had learned
I looked into a job that wanted a bachelors, A+, Net+ and a MS cert + 5 years of experience. I've got my Associates' so i thought i'd be under qualified, but I got the interview anyway.
The job amounted to what was basically a chop shop. Strip the PC of its useful components and package them for resale OR take the mixed bag of parts and put a PC together. A PC hobbyist out of high school could do this work. I ended up not taking the job because it just sounded a bit too fishy. The parts and PCs were resold through personal ebay and craigslist accounts and it doesnt strike me as something on the up n up.

There were actually times when I had better luck getting full-text articles fro Google Scholar

They crashed.....so theres only room for a rise now right? Never lose hope [/sarcasm]

but I read the headline as "Japan customizes virus creation" which, itself, is entirely possible aswell.

Trouble having a kid? I lol'd

I guess I am missing the point. I was under the impression that they modified their tools to suit the needs of a particular attack
