I too had been gaining weight until I finally read a book on the Atkins diet and for the past two years I have lost literally all of that extra weight. I bring in raw chicken breasts to work and leave them in the fridge. When it's lunchtime I pop one of them (I put them in sandwich bags so they can be easily separated) in the microwave and my hunger is satisfied and I'm done. Easy and convenient and cheap.
I had been drinking sugared Mountain Dew and eating pasta. But I did learn that sugared Dew, potatoes, pasta, bread and rice have one thing in common: they turn to sugar in your body. Then you get an insulin spike to deal with the sugar spike and when the insulin spike has dealt with the excess sugar by turning it into fat, you're hungry again!
If you eat protein--such as chicken breasts--it does NOT turn to sugar because it takes a long time to digest. You therefore do not get the insulin spike and do not get hungry!
So, over the past 18 months, I have been forced to cut three new belt holes in my old belt. Can you say: high-school weight?
This is a classic example of secrecy being used not for national security but to avoid embarrassment. There are likely thousands of these types of secrets that cost money to keep but that are for no reason at all. Ass clowns.
I have faced this type of requirement too. Either create a schema that has read-only rights or strictly filter out keywords and other troublesome things such as --, TRUNC, DELETE, etc. Good luck!
Despite their admittedly menacing effect on water intakes and on ship navigation, the invasive Zebra Mussels have also famously cleaned all the water in the Great Lakes. The water clarity that is found there would not have been so without the zebs.
NASA wants me to lie in bed?
I learned to do that in college: "Yes, I'll love you tomorrow." / "No, there are no other girls in my life but you..." / "Of course I'll respect you tomorrow..."
When I was much younger, I built a lot of Heathkit electronics. Then, I started building my own circuit boards with these blanks you could buy from Radio Shack. You draw your connections on the board's copper with a dark marker. Then, you put it in the acid bath and it burned away all the coppper you did not cover. It was a blast wiring up an op amp and other stuff. Just start reading, dude.
This is just a travesty. That we put our democracy in the hands of for-profit, Republican-supporting companies like Diebold is beyond belief. The fact that they are required to make ATM machines better is a sign of how out of touch Americans are with our voting process. ATMs are more robust because people demand it. People DON'T (yet) demand the same amount of robustness in their voting machines because they are UNAWARE of how crappy the machines are. That really stems from our politicians who WANT to keep the sorry state of the voting machines secret.
Though I agree with your underlying point, that science and math are growing subjects where the beliefs of yesterday can be superceded by today's findings--in any case it's better than the state of Biblical Science, which stopped developing thousands of years ago. You take your pick...
While I say "Hooray" for your valedictorian, it hardly adds up to more than anecdotal evidence. So, do you recommend a belief in intelligent designs to your children? If you have none, would you? Would you teach them to also persist in believing in the Tooth Fairy, Ester Bunney etc? I think not. Just so you can prove a point, is not enough justification for stunting the learning of your own flesh and blood. I just question the sanity of people who would teach their children the earth is only 6,000 years old. Why would you so willfully lie to your children?
Ah, what? Generally, we see Intelligent Design balanced against EVOLUTION. Can you explain how you took that to refer to homosexuality?
Do you need to go back on your lithium? Is there something you feel the need to discuss with all of us?
Medicines, for example, are proven safe and efficacious using tests performed with the Scientific Method. Such tests can be replicated and when enough have, we trust the results. That is the scientific method and the basis of our society. Teaching children that anything but the viewpoint that has the greatest amount of scientific proof--and that would Evolution by Natural Selection--is teaching them to ignore the findings of the Scientific Method. Teaching your kids to distrust Evolution would be teaching them to distrust the findings of the Scientific Method.
I, for one, would not want to patronize one of your brilliant children who became a doctor and who does not believe in the Scientific Method. And believing in the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunney has just as much experimental proof in support of it as does "Intelligent Design". So, if you teach your children to believe in anything but Evolution, you are teaching them bad information and, yes, it constitutes child abuse.
It's child abuse only slightly less than the Christian Scientist or 7th-Day Adventist parent who denies their child medical attention of anything but the most modern sort. It's child abuse to teach your children to believe something that is not supported by the experimental evidence.
The principle of Evolution by Natural Selection has more confirmatory evidence than any other scientific principle. It is rock solid.
Isn't it ironic that a whole generation of religious folks are doing nothing more than routing their kids into a backwater. Suspicion of science just means their children will distrust science and math and be shuttled, therefore, into a legion of burger flippers. Teaching your kids that Intelligent Design is the right answer is as close to child abuse as I can imagine.
Yes, Yes, and it does... (Buried Lede?)

Now come on! What sort of a lede is that? Just a tease and no candy? What does Wireshark 1.0 DO for pete's sake?
The Stealth Nighthawk fighter could not be controlled by a human, it is so aerodynamically unstable. But with the help of some good software, that plane flies. The same is true of the B-2 Batwing bomber, it only flies because a computer stabilizes it.
There will be controllable vanes (for the atmosphere) and thrusters (for space) to control the car's behavior. The wobble would be predictable and all the traffic would be required to avoid it, in the same way power boats are required to steer around sailboat.
Can you imagine a more interesting article? Who's going to be the first to write a novel based on that premise! Micro Black holes! Strangelets! What in the hell have those physicists been smoking!
This is better than the current state. Who cares if it interferes with current broadcast TV. Who the hell cares what is on Broadcast TV, anyway? And in general TV rots the brain. This is a much better use of the spectrum than for broadcasting re-runs of "Night Court" or "Frasier".
Once you get in the business world, those non-intensive financial types are babies. They will need to come to you to really understand their numbers. Don't fear them--get your knowledge learned and you will be fine.
This is great news. Yet another example of Microsoft's arrogance harming the company. We can only hope they keep blasting away at their feet like this.
I agree. However, in some unusual queries, you have query terms that are conditional with all kinds of subcases and you would end up keeping track of 16 parameters and it just becomes a pain in the ass to use a PreparedStatement.
Over the Christmas holidays, when work is always slow, I have a long habit of putting on my hacker hat and seeing what our vulnerabilities are. I think every developer owes it to their sanity to do this regularly. You will find so many opportunities for SQL Injection--no matter how careful your developers are--and Cross-Site Scripting and just a bunch of other holes.
You do not want to be in a conference room some day explaining to your boss's boss why your program allowed a hacker to gain access to the company's systems through your app. This is a no-brainer.
I am probably one of the few slashdot readers who has worked as a foreign correspondent for a newspaper. I worked for Nevski Novosti in St. Petersburg Russia for a year. Doing good journalism takes time to develop sources and money to support said process. In the quarterly-profit world of corporate media, there is no time for delayed gratification. Therefore, we get endless stories about Britney and other celeb trash news.
Having taken several dozen stabs at this problem, I think you need first of all to have an architecture that can seek to actually combine two different and complimentary "thought" processes. The brain is effective because it uses memories to offer feedback to itself, in real time. The UI interface is an annoying distraction from the idea: what does it mean to be a conscious entity, taking in simultaneous pattern streams of information from the senses, using those senses to reply with related things.
Somehow, how that sensory information rattles around in side that memory and flood of ideas and connotations feeding back into the mind somehow makes this consciousness.
We usually think of a conscious person seeing themselves, or hearing themselves. But a deaf blind person is still conscious, getting a pattern stream of information from their fingertips, letting the mind make it's own interior imaginary representation of the world.
All that is the challenge. There are a trillion other things that could be said.

Ha ha. No, I meant more like: V1 -- detect outline V2 -- detect details within outline from V1 V4 -- further refinement IT -- etc.

Sounds to me that you really agree. What kind of AI algorithms were you referring to?
