I attend Portsmouth University and while almost every department (even Computer Science) is filled with Windows Boxes two departments are different. The Creative Arts department (encompasses graphical and musical arts) is filled with Macs while the Electrical Engineering Department is full of Unix boxes.
I've heard pretty much the same story about the Macs in creative departments around most Universities.
There is no article, just a Youtube video? Thus upsetting a sum total of 5% of the people that would normally read the article while the other 95% don't even notice.
Considering the target audience, those examples are just about right. I find that it's far easier to learn something when I can apply it to an everyday situation or at least something I am familiar with. If the rest of the examples are as good as those then the book seems very good. I find it odd that your post was modded Funny rather than Informative.
Talk about a vague story, I bet half the comments on Slashdot in the last 24 hours have more to them than that story did. Lets not go overboard now, this is/. we're talking about here!
Wow, that makes me... what's the opposite of dying a little inside? Not sure, could be any of the following.
- Living a little inside
- Living a little outside
- Living a lot inside
- Living a lot outside
- Dying a little outside
- Dying a lot outside
- Dying a lot inside
It all depends on what you want to reverse...
I think it's great that people are fighting back against the RIAA. I completely support what the RIAA are meant to stand for (I.E. the anti-piracy thing) but their attitude, methods and motives are terrible.
I mean at least who on Slashdot cares? Unless you have Apple stock, I don't think any Slashdotter is salivating.
Slashdot is a news site, a geek news site at that. This is news, it's also geek news so it most certainly belongs here. However, aside from those of us that have shares in Apple, who would care? Well, anybody following the progress of the iPhone would care.
In addition it's logical to assume that it's possible for some pages to use Javascript to block the ads themselves, figure out where they're placing the ads and stick them in a tag and hey presto, no ads!
To the person with the "clever" moral compass comment, just because the US is performing reconnaissance doesn't make them the bad guy. Or are you saying that all through both world wars and the cold war the US was morally wrong to perform flyovers?
I believe he is commenting on the fact that though the US and indeed, just about any country, portrays themselves as "the good guys" to their citizens, these same countries would perform spy operations on the enemy country, maybe even in times of peace. I don't really think he said or meant (though he might have) that they are the goodies, just that the contrast between the two isn't quite as clear cut as it's made out to be.
I sadly do not know a lot of about the Cold War but I'd say that as long as such flyovers do not raise tensions or create annoyance, they are a good idea as they provide proof that the country being flown over is not preparing something big.
Point 4 I can attest to personally, the Apple Higher Ed store is linked to from their online store, this is the UK one. I got a discount of about 18% - 20%, I can't remember exactly what it was but it was a bit better than getting it VAT fee!
I think what they meant to say was exponentially. Logarithmic growth means it is slowing down really fast. The Richter scale is logarithmic and quakes get more powerful as you add numbers, doesn't that mean you can say something grows at a logarithmic rate to say it's growing faster and faster?
First off, I am Christian and do not care for Sony.
The game is art. There should be no legal repercussions for Sony choosing to tell a story a certain way. If you do not like it, do not buy it. Protest if you want, so others know you do not like it. But, every adult should be free to choose for themselves if shooting in a church is inappropriate in a game. I also am a Christian but I'm pretty Neutral on the matter of Sony. I agree with the following comment
The Bishop of Manchester called the game 'highly irresponsible' due to the history of gun crime in the city. But feel that there is no harm in using a Church building in a game, for a start, it is just a Building and secondly, if the game isn't saying that Christianity promotes gun crime then I fail to see how it's a problem for the Church.
So if I send (and pay for) mail to joe blow and his mail server is down- how are you going to deliver the mail to him and still call it 'guaranteed delivery'? I believe that they're looking at one of the following for this particular problem
1) You won't think of this
2) Magic
3) Hopefully you've already forgotten
I'm not amazingly clued up about the exact mechanics of email and ISPs, how will this affect things such as GMail which are provided by someone other than me? I'm guessing they'll get charged and then forward the charge onto me?
This will stop piracy about as well as burying a goat's head in your back yard to ward off evil spirits!! I was told that a goats head stops Depression but it may or may not stop spirits, to stop piracy I beleive you are looking for 2/3rds of an African Elephants left tusk, 1 cucumber and a kilogram of horseraddish. Take these and place them in a box then bury that in your garden. If you don't have a garden, well, I cannot help you.
I run a PHP server on my Mac and use that to test my pages. None of my normal pages need anything else. When I do have to use live data I ensure that what I am doing is non-critical, if it is I'll duplicate the data I need and run it in a seperate area.
These things always nag at me and whenever I mention them, people just look at me funny (unless they also have some idea of what code does). Reading these put a smile on my face and made a great start to my day so I'm pretty happy about it to be honest:)
I concur, look for a new company as his current one appears to be a little slow at grasping the concept of being honest and true to it's customers, I can't imagine it's much better to it's employees.

Oh man, that was great. Not at all too subtle. I tip my hat to your sir (or maam) and only wish that I had mod points to give you.
I wish I had mod points, that's the funniest thing I've read all day.
