An agent employed by a state to obtain secret information
The information collected is not even remotely secret. It consists of radio waves that are leaving China's airspace. In what way are they possibly collecting information that the Chinese aren't already giving away?
Not quite. The military has people who do collection. The NSA tells the military what they want, and processes the collected material.
I really don't see the point to calling overt collection of material over international waters *spying*. Eavesdropping perhaps, surveillance yes, spying no.
spy : to watch secretly usually for hostile purposes
There was nothing secret about their operations. They were in international waters in a plane with US military markings. What they were engaged in was surveillance: close watch kept over someone or something
I'll take you up on point number 2, and both agree and disagree. Yes, the average student at the average school would miss out on your peer group. But where many of us work, we would have already have a tremendous peer group that could help out. Where you say that you have learned more from working with your fellow students, most of us say we have learned more from working with our fellow employees.
This is big news to continuing education more than to other university students in my view.
The essence of Perl is really context sensitivity, not just to syntactic context, but also to semantic, pragmatic, and cultural context.
This is a really big part of Perl for myself. After learning a certain amount of the language, I was able to start guessing at how perl would work, and it would usually work that way. Where the more designed languages seem to have just mandated the way things are done, Perl tries to interpret as many ways as a user might think of doing them. This is not an easy task, and once accomplished can yield some very ugly, bad code.
It goes something like this: I say, "I wonder what would happen if I tried xxx." Perl will do it the way I want. C doesn't work that way. Java will surely have deprecated the useful way of doing it because it wasn't supported on a common architecture like the Timex Indiglo.
Having been in the military, college, work, etc.. for the last 13 years I've travelled to a lot of places. I have found people again through their "worthless" sites that have been indexed.
I've been looking for cycle-buffer.el for quite some time. There are several references to the author, and I could probably write to him about it, or someone else. But, I've been playing a game for over a year now trying to find it. Every couple weeks I take another look. Still no luck though.
But this might a reduced importance of the monetary policy the Federal Reserve would welcome. Since this would require money be backed by something (and the major countries aren't poor for gold) it would have the effect of reigning in politicians.
Just look up Alan Greenspan's opinion on the gold standard, its quite informative.
I seriously be interested in seeing a "correct" usage of that predates today's common usage.
Where did my extra words go?

If I didn't have a supercomputer in my home, I certainly wouldn't admit that I didn't. Furthermore I definitely wouldn't question the purchase of such a tremendous platform for Conway's life. Its ok if you aren't worried about being cool, but you're taking it too far to scoff at a purchase that every American takes very seriously.
The only time I think a company might have a case for "inevitable disclosure" would be for very high up employees with access to strategic plans or for engineering personel working on not yet released projects
Add sales to that. What I noticed from the article was that most of the examples were about sales positions. Even if a salesman doesn't take confidential information when they go to a new company, they will still be using a valuable relationship with clients. This relationship was developed while the first company paid for it. This is roughly theft of the contact list, whether its written down, or not.
This is all a little different from a sysadmin going to a different company and being barred from inevitable disclosure of unix skills.
Yea, purchasing a computer will begin to look like buying a plane ticket. You'll get a $35 tickect across the state, and pay $30 in taxes and airport fees.
Well it does say all computers sold with an operating system. That, and I'd bet most people still connect by modem.
What I'm thinking is that if they want to legislate inclusion of censorware because its too complicated for people to possibly install, then they need to legislate the inclusion of other things. In fact, PC sellers should include everything the buyer might ever need on the computer because it would be too difficult to install.
And when I go to fill out my taxes, they should be done for me when I pick up the forms because that is too complicated.
As long as we can just pass laws and make solutions, if I buy a car (I bought a Saturn) then I should be provided with a car that would fill all my possible needs. Choosing the right one is too complicated for me.
Hmm. We could pass a law that all medicine should work, and be applied successfully.
I think I can speak for many people who have not purchased a VCR since the advent of DVD. Of course mine doesn't blink 12:00 because its unplugged, and in the corner of my room.

I heard they got rid of Clippy to clear room under the salary cap for Zippy. I like emacs and all, but if Zippy leaves it will be a tough call.

There is a big difference between satire and flamebait.
These 24 crewmen are uniformed members of our military flying in international airspace. They are not spies, and should be treated accordingly.

/. should lzip all the comments to make sure they get all important comments backed up safely.
Trick question. If you are travelling the speed of light everything would be lit up already.

The chicken
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As woodchuck would chuck as much would as a wouldchuck could chuck, of course.
42?
no

Yes, and herbal tea can hardly be described as standard tea.

Naw, if NASA really wanted to screw with the SETI@Home crowd they could plant some false positives.

It can be a good thing, because not much gets done, and this remains one of the more free states.

Damn, this is easy.
Give us your domain so we can blackhole you now, and you can take that to your management.
