Or they will will have Union sponsored adds, explaining how these budget cuts, will reduce books, or teachers... Not the Second Assistant to the Administrator Assistant to the Assistant Principal. Or cuts to Guidance Counselors who are basically the dumbest people in the world, who cannot figure out basic concepts like filling out a schedule, or the fact that there is are Middle Ground of colleges between Harvard Level schools and The Local Community Colleges.
Well your grade are not straight A, you have only maintained a B+ average grade, You should look into community college, or vocational schooling. As those B+ grade will not get you into Harvard, thus you will not succeed in life.
Perhaps they should had closed the CS department if their faculty is trolling Slashdot all the time. Why aren't you trying to get grants, or teaching undergrads?
I am of the opinion that if Global Warming was given to the public properly at first, we would be much further along in curving our green house gas emission. When you go to the alarmist view, you do get a lot of followers very quickly (that is why they do it), however you get opponents who will block progress too, because your views are too out there. A more gentile approach. There is Global Warming, it is caused by human interference, it will change our weather patterns, best solution is to work to reduce our carbon admission. Then we could have started decades ago really looking at our Carbon Admissions, and see what we can easily reduce (low hanging fruit), study new technologies to help it out even further. I am willing the Oil companies would be more willing to help make their product produce less carbon, if you weren't calling them the Devil and blaming them squarely for all of our Environmental problems. This wouldn't get the Army of Econuts, pushing green everything, because they think the world is going to end, but foster a well organized solution to the problem to be solved.
Don't worry about it, it is modern Liberalism. If there is a hint of conservativism then it must be wrong, and there are only two reasons why someone would post something conservative. 1. They are an idiot 2. They are just trolling to get people angry.
The idea that their viewpoint may be wrong, or too extreme is too much for them to handle. As they judge intelligence on their ability to say everyone is wrong.
It comes down to this simple fact. Americans eat too much meat. I am not advocating Vegetarianism, But we really normally only need 2 servings of meat (or other high protean) a day. We tend to have closer to 6 servings. Breakfast: A Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich. That is your two servings already. Lunch: A Ham Sandwich (thats Three, Four depending on the size of the sandwitch) Dinner: Steak Mash Potatoes and Green beans. (Most steaks we eat may be 2 more servings so that brings us up to 6 servings) Plus the Cheese and Wheat and other stuff we eat adds more protean.
The install process. 1. Copy Files to their location 2. Link any new libraries needed. 3. Set permissions in the file 4. Configure any background applications. 4. a. Run said background application
When you install a program, it will set the permissions the developer thinks is reasonable for proper execution of the program. Perhaps you should read those install scrips a little more carefully.
You do realize that an MBA is a Masters Degree in Business Administration. And depending on the track you get different areas of study. A lot of the area of study is very close to Computer Science. MBA is about running a business at peak efficiency. Computer Science is running software at peak efficiency. A lot of the concepts are very similar. The MBA from an accredited school is a rigorous academic process. Also after Enron many if not most MBA programs have put a renewed effort in teaching ethics. And most studies that show most of the stuff you complain about those evil MBA's (Where a lot of those evil MBA's are either not MBA's they do not have the degree but have just advanced in careers without it, or the Full time MBA right after taking Undergrad in Business with no real life experience. You find the MBA who get their degrees threw night classes, or weekend programs are a much different breed of MBA)
Being that an MBA focuses on Administrative skills their productivity isn't measured in simple number of units, however in the ability to increase the number of units, or increase the quality of the numbers of units made, or get those numbers of units made for less.
When you are taking all your time to find the enemy of all of life problems, then you are not spending time solving them.
Oh thats ok, it will just install those files and do a chmod 666/777 on the files that needs to be updated, during the install process. You are perfectly safe, it will be able to update itself without the root password just fine. The other option is when you install it, it runs daemon process as root that will check for updates and install itself.
Oh by the way because you installed it as root, any security flaw in the daemon process could effect you computer... Good for you.
Yes, lets get Firefox to work and look just like chrome. I mean it isn't like chrome is freely available for many different platforms, and running of an open compliant based engine.
The reason why I don't care for Firefox lately, and IE. Is because they are just copying what chrome is doing. If that is the case they are just copying chrome, I might as well use chrome, and that is what I do.
I remember back in the good old days when Linux wasn't configured to automatically start in X. So I did what I have done a hundred times before, edit the inittab file. However for some reason that day I was thinking that init level 6 was the init level to Start X in... Well at least I had a bootable CD. # mount/dev/hda1 -t ext2/mnt # vi/mnt/etc/inittab (changed it to 5) # umount/mnt # sync; sync; sync; reboot
Not always. Helping minimize developers time can help improve run time speed. If I am writing in a low level langue and I need to do a sort, and I am pressed for time, I just may do a bubble sort as it is the the easiest one to code and test. Using a higher level languages List.sort() feature will use a more efficient sort.
In a perfect world C would be faster, as every thing can be optimized. However real world gets in the way we have deadlines and need to find ways to get the code out. Higher level languages gives us Medium-Fast implementations that when combined may give us a net faster speed then without. As we may not have the time to know of or give an optimal code.
The 64 bit migration first was on the Server Side, Linux is a Server OS. So Linux, Solaris, etc... Had been ported to 64bit a while ago. But now standard PC's are now 64 bit. So we are now pushing towards the Desktop move to 64 bit code. While migrating to 64 bit on the servers wasn't seamless. However most Server Side code was more 64 bit ready then Desktop code. As the migration to 64 bit is one part, the second part is moving to Multi-cores. Servers had been using Parallel processors for a while now. Multi-Core is new to the Desktop. So a lot of old Apps are being redesigned to run more parallel.
Migration to 64 bit roughly is a recompile away in C. However you are compiling on a newer Compiler so your code may need some altering (usually for the better). But going from a single CPU to multi-core use. That requires redesign on how your program works.
FORTRAN PROGRAM HELLOWORLD
WRITE *, "HELLO WORLD" END
vs.
C++/C #include int main (char argc, char** argv) {
printf("HELLO WORLD");
return 0; }
When you write FORTRAN code it only really works in fortran. When you write C code it work most of the time in C++. Although C++ is designed to program it differently. So if you see Real C++ code you know you are not in C. However C++ has a lot of back wards compatibility to C. And a lot of the details still match C.
I would expect that a lot of companies are probably working on importing their legacy systems to work for the new 64 bit systems. Now that most PC's are out with more then 4 gigs of RAM. Many OS's are going towards 64 bit OS's and a lot of those old 32 bit systems programmed in C for performance, needs to be upgraded. A lot of those programs that seemed to run fine in windows 3.1 are finally stop working in windows 7 64 bit.
I am not saying C coding is just for legacy systems, but a good amount of legacy systems are written in C, and most of those C written programs are fairly optimized for their platform they were designed to run, and we are starting to switch to 64 bit and multi-core architecture.
Yes lets fire everyone who has made a mistake. Everybody needs to be perfect an never make a mistake, any mistakes will cause termination, and then a stigma will be attached to you so you can never work again. Who cares that that mistake taught you an important lesson and you will never make the same mistake again, who cares about your previous years of excellent service. You made a mistake and now you are fired, doomed to live off of the streets as an outcast, your crime, emailing the company not the individual. While most people would be shocked at first after the dust clears most would be laughing at it, the guy who did it would be the butt of some jokes for a while, however no real damage, unless the employees are litigious bastards. I really hate it when ever there is a mistake people go, well that guy is going to get fired for doing it. You never made a mistake in your career before? Now those mistakes that were made, how many of them was something that anyone could have made, due to improper management, or insufficient safeguards and poor infrastructure. It is like firing the person for crashing the company car that day they used it, because the breaks failed because the company never maintained the car.
This looks like normal business to me. For most businesses they don't see patents so negativity. For the most part if they know about the patent before hand they normally work to either buy it, or purchase a license to use it. Now they could fight it (to invalidate the patent), but that usually happened after they asked for it and they said no. You are looking at the Patent Case between Apple and Samsung or Google and Oracle, but those are more the exception then the case. I am willing to be that Apple and Samsung Google and Oracle agree and share patents and license them to each other for a lot more cases then the ones they fight over.
I remember taking some classes where taking a test, I felt like I was on Fire, Every Question was Easy, only to realize I was completly wrong, and I got my grade back in a big surprise. Also there are tests where you are struggling, you know your missing some detail, and you are stressing and reworking to find the missing piece, so when you get your grade back you kinda know that you were going to get that.
I would expect the brain works much differently for each case.

Could that mean we can jail almost all the Vegans out there, who give us a hard time, for those who actually eat meat.
