I'm a 4th year comp-sci major and I completely agree with parent. The C/C++/Java/C# skills that I picked up are largely a side effect than the main result and that's perfectly fine. Learning the languages was basically left to me to do on my own, if you missed the hint tough luck. Co-op/internships semesters are what give you real world experience as part of the education, any respectable uni/college will have have career services to help with that even.
False, most of the time you are sending packets to the server which then delivers the message to the other party. The exception is thing like file transfers where sometimes the end parties connect directly.
ICQ has exactly this scheme you can either expose your IP and let people connect to you directly or have everything piped through the server and thus only remain an ICQ number.
Well you could track the swarm size, especially if you're running the tracker. There's got to be some correlation there, actually does anyone know of any studies or references on this?
Yes a stock Q6600 runs at 2.4GHz. Intel's "SpeedStep" (all Core 2 chips support it) allows CPU's clock multiplier to be changed dynamically to optimize power consumption and heat production.
The multiplier on the Q6600 can be set between 6 and 9 and the default FBS speed is 266MHz... 9.0 * 266MHz = 2.4GHz 6.0 * 266MHz = 1.6GHz
When the system is not under load (like when they ran the diagnostic util) the multiplier will be at 6.0, but when it was crunching numbers I'd imagine it was full throttle.
I highly doubt that they'd nerf the CPU clock to help with heat. A Q6600 will easily OC to 3.0GHz and will survive 100% load with the stock cooler, I tested it my self.
I hate to tell you, but if you don't like learning you might be in the wrong industry. You don't have to learn it if it's such a bother for you, your criticism is akin to criticizing an academic for writing yet another paper on the subject which you have to read.
If you're such a smart ass then fork Mono or Java and fix it.
I don't know how relevant the argument for space constraints is anymore when it comes to modern mobile devices. Seems to me like an outdated (and convenient) piece rhetoric to be thrown around. A few megabytes seem trivial when you're talking about multi-GB storage capacities.

And I thought they burnt it???

Well, the expectation is that they'd find the password in 1/2 of that time.
...professors and/or students working on Defense dept, Energy department, or CIA/NSA research...
If it really is that important then they should be encrypting the messages perhaps.
Or a meteor hits the data centre, that'd be bad too!
...and OOXML.
...and PDF. So what's your point anyway?
My thoughts exactly. Mod parent up!
Dense? You mean like a black hole? Haha! I get it, I get it.
Why would they have accelerated graphics? Take a look at that linked screenshot.
Kind of like .NET?
Hey, it's open source.
Maybe you're thinking of Freemasons?

Extreme publishing! Shit I hope it doesn't catch on.
Then simply add some suspensefully dangerous music in the background and you have the next generation of thriller movies!

"Real IQ tests should be culture independent."
Fixed that for you.

What I'm curious about is how many Yahoo engineers and other employees will bail (or get the boot) if this deal goes through?
did he actually mean price or indeed cost?

That's only my perception though.
Marijuana is also, technically, illegal here but the way people treat the issue is also very misleading.
So people working in advertising will start lying about their job title, etc... Wow...
