1) Because having a teacher explaining things to you can be a lot easier then trying to absorb it from a book
2) The internet is great, but some of the information is damn inaccurate. You would presume a university to make sure that what it teaches is correct and up-to-date. (Caveat emptor)
3) While a manager can grill applicants to see if they really know everything what they need to know, it's a whole lot more efficient to have "RHCE" or "MSCE" etc. in your resume.
So did he just admit to a felony? I mean, it would be in no way legal for him to do it. Target for the RIAA? Or can anybody go to the police and press charges?
I would love a nice open source FPS, but why do they all look like Quake 1? Have you seen recent shooters? I don't want the whole "a million shades of brown" anymore.
I've visited the US several times for a month at a time. This was both pre- and post-"9/11". However I stopped going once the draconian identification measures got introduced at the border.
Now you might be a member of the crowd that goes "If you're innocent then you've got nothing to hide" but I'm more of a guy in the "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" crowd.
I mean I don't even get a shopping card from our local supermarket because I don't think it's necessary for them to have my personal information...
I'm not a criminal, and I don't want to be treated as such. It would be would be debatable if they kept personal information for say a year or so and you could trust them to delete your information afterward.
In reference to this article I would like to direct readers to the movie "The man in the white suit" to learn more about the dangers of creating nanotech clothing.
So.. setting up a SYN cookie handshake takes up memory on the server. And by calculating the correct response to a SYN cookie challange they defeat the handshake, opening the port on the server, and then they set a new connection from a new forged IP address. This takes up memory and connections on the server machine, leaving connections to time out.
Ok ftp supports reading chunks of data from files, i.e. byte range n-m.
However it doesn't support (I strongly suspect) _writing_ chunks. Sure you can say, 'REST n' and start writing but I think the file would be truncated.
This means, encrypted images like Truecrypt containers are out,s ince you'd be writing the entire file over and over again.
All nice and dandy, but please remember that the rest of us filthy foreigners who are coming for a friendly visit aren't directly guilty of anything in particular either. We'd like to keep our private stuff private as well..
So please protect the data and privacy of us non-Americans as well.
I warned people about the same BS with Bioshock. You don't want to pay $50 to just hire a game, because anything that stops you from using what you buy is hiring.
I've white listed a number of sites on adblock for a while that I felt like supporting. However it meant white listing well known ad servers, so that meant I was seeing them on other sites as well. I've tried surfing without any ad blocking for a while, but that's not a workable solution. I'd be reading some article on a site with a BLINK BLINK FLASH MOVE MOVE ad besides it. It doesn't make for an easy read.
Never mind the sites that *shouts* SUDDENLY ADD SOUND to a page while you're quietly trying to read an article at work.
In the end, I've gone back to just adblocking the hell out of everything, I've tried, and some sites are good with it, but the majority of other sites ruin it for those that try to play nice.
We need, Google to start a competitor to Paypal, so I can donate some small amounts of money to the sites I like. (I don't use Paypal, because they're a bunch of crooks)
Say what you will, but look back at the development of the nuclear bomb. At that time they didn't know if a nuclear blast would burn up the atmosphere. But they exploded it just the same.
Sure, the LHC doesn't many things that don't occur in nature on a daily basis. But think of stupid mundane items for us, things like plastics. They don't occur in nature. There are thousands of things that we invent here that never occur in nature by itself.
Who is to say that we won't create something that annihilates us? And looking at the atom bomb, do we really want to trust that they wouldn't put our existence in jeopardy? Is it that funny, to want to err on the side of caution, no matter how stupendously small the chances are of something going wrong?
It's not a clone, i.e. they did not see the original and thought "Hey, we can make something like that".
It's a byte-perfect copy of many of the elements in the game, sound and graphics. So it really is a copyright violation.
It's simply re-skinning some elements and publishing it as your own. Like taking Windows, make the default background red, and selling it as your own operating system.
Undoubtably I'll be modded down to flamebait, but as a non-US citizen I get pretty tired of the US trying to be the 'policeman of the world' and at the same time pull these underhanded tricks.
Another example I came upon today is how the White House was planning to overthrow the democratically chosen Hamas party, because it didn't stroke with their plans.
What happened with "With great power comes great responsibility"? The US is just acting as the schoolyard bully.
Note that I understand that "The US" != "all US citizens", but please, you're the only ones that can do something about this. So please do so.

:) The 'lot of Larries' is not a bug.. It's multiplayer LSL. Those are other players.
While uninteresting for worms, this is probably a nice way for pirates to hack Windows 7..
I'm not sure if they have cracked it already or not, since I'm still on XP.

I thought Asperger's was usually linked to anti-social techies, but working in the IT business is damn stressful.
How can this every be correct?
So what do we learn here?
A memory parity error _might_ lead to data corruption, system crash or an application error.
And I'm saying might because I don't think that chance is even that great.
So to preserve our data, it just locks up the entire system thereby throwing everything out the window.
It's like preventing your house from catching fire by detonating a nuke in it. It's just plain stupid.
It would be nice if this were to be ported to Windows XP and take away the only reason why I would ever consider Vista/7
So did he just admit to a felony? I mean, it would be in no way legal for him to do it. Target for the RIAA? Or can anybody go to the police and press charges?
Too little, too late?
Can anything stop the Warcraft juggernaut?
Hmm sounds like a mission plot right there.
I would love a nice open source FPS, but why do they all look like Quake 1? Have you seen recent shooters? I don't want the whole "a million shades of brown" anymore.
It looks pretty awesome.
Maybe I can use one with an USB cam to implement some cheap security cameras.
I can put a daemon on there to only start emailing images on movement. :)

Do people still visit that country?

Slavery only affected African-Americans... So if we follow the 'logic' of this student association, there was no need to abolish that at all...
Einstein said.. there are two things that are infinite: the universe and stupidity.. and I'm not too sure about the first...

So we're skipping this one as well?

Do I have this correct?
Ok ftp supports reading chunks of data from files, i.e. byte range n-m.

This means, encrypted images like Truecrypt containers are out,s ince you'd be writing the entire file over and over again.
So you'll have to stay with single files.
Pfff.. any so called meme timeline that does not have zombo.com can not be taken as authoritative.
All nice and dandy, but please remember that the rest of us filthy foreigners who are coming for a friendly visit aren't directly guilty of anything in particular either. We'd like to keep our private stuff private as well..

Here ya go.. an extremely enlarged view of the icecube images used in both flashes

You can look hard you can see the gamma is a little different between them, but how are they not the same image?
Are you willing to tell me that these are images made by two different persons that just happen to make it look exactly the same?
