Can someone help me? I want to take the sin of a right angle in Excel. Can someone tell me where the pi key on the keyboard is, so I can type in pi/2 radians?
wait... so you're asking us to give you a better explanation for why you have a problem with being fingerprinted?
Yes. Why is this strange? My explanation makes people look at me like a tin-foil hat guy. I want a better, i.e. more palatable, way of explaining this.
I recently was asked why I had refused to allow myself to be fingerprinted by the state, considering it was "voluntary" but carried with it some negative consequences. My answer primarily was "they have no right to do so, and I'm not willing to participate in a system I have a legitamite moral problem with." Everyone else in the cconversation had been fingerprinted already and couldn't understand what the big deal was.
So, can someone offer a better explaination than "I stand at the top of a slippery slope" with regards to fingerprinting?
craigslist is notoriously easygoing and their terms (you can run searches but not mirror the whole damn thing) seem reasonable, so I think the way Oodle could have avoided the ban is by not pissing Craig off
Craig's gone man, sold out, walked away. I believe it was to these people.
Ballmer would explain why you are wrong as "cache cache cache cache cache." The bottom line is the Cell's smaller processors have a very small memory cache, and a hard time accessing the RAM. So, not quite true. Also, keep in mind that the PS3 specs remove three of the smaller Cell processors (one because the manufacture was too difficult to make reliable, and *2* for internal OS stuff).
This only applys to a newly auctioned off part of the spectrum. So in other words, it's business as usual if you don't purchase that spectrum space. My guess would be this is to try to artifically charge the cell-phone companies more (in terms of lost revenue), so that some other type of company can outbid them in the auction.
No, what you are describing is content based tiering (which is evil). I meant tiering, just on the consumer side. For instance, I would love to have a guaranteed connection of X, with an up to Y ( Y > X ) connection speed when bandwidth was available, assuming it was cheaper than just Y bandwidth. That is, have a tier 1 connection of X, and a tier 2 connection of Y-X. As long I can use my VOIP and some small webbrowsing on the side.
I read the Ars article, and tried to get through the AT&T study (going to try again after more coffee). As I read this research: If companies are allowed to drop "unimportant" packets to the sidelines, while only guaranteeing 1/3 of the packets as fast delivery as otherwise necessary, they only need 50% of the bandwidth.
Assuming that my analysis is correct:
No shit. Airlines recently announced that if customers are willing to extend travel times by flying around the world on empty seats to get where they are going, they can cut the number of planes in the sky by XX%.
Who cares. Over the backbone of the internet, there should be enough bandwidth.
The want to fuck me. Who cares if someone else's packets get dropped. My packets are obviously higher priority to me. If John Doe down the street really needs tons of packets, let him pay more. I don't think anyone opposes tiering on the consumer side.
... and I don't know know much about no fancy "content". But I gotta say, I like all the blog entries because they give me more headlines to skim and respond to instinctively.
2) I'm a regular user of Opera...The user can define how often the page preview updates--I have mine set to every 30 minutes.
I love Opera too. If you right-click on any page there is a "Reload Every..." submenu on the context menu. I have 8 tabs in the background, updating at different rates depending on their content (active eBay bids every 20 minutes until close to the end, then every 5 seconds. News every 10 minutes. TV listings every 30 minutes (what a surprise), etc.)
I notice that they're looking at "$65,500 for the hardware".
Yes, but they are comparing it to $74,000 for Oracle's hardware. The part that worried me is that "all benchmark runs were extensively optimized by the Sun performance team, with the help of performance experts from the databases represented." And they said they spent 6 months optimizing it. My goal is to find the sweet spot that combines: Money, Performance, and Development (and Code Maintance) costs. If it's possible to get great performance out of something by making the code hard to develop and maintain, that's worth a lot less to me.
In the past they've shown that they can be trusted not to abuse their survellince for their own sexual gratification. After all this is based on a British program.
No, if they knew 50 million people were going to purchase, that is, the demand was totally inelastic, they would charge far more. They simply solved for the maximum of the function: PeopleWhoWillBuyAtPrice ( X ) * X
They want honest answers, so BS is a bad idea. But pure honesty is also bad. For instance, if you read Slashdot first thing, be honest about that, but lie about your motivation (I like reading Slashdot more than doing my job. Example: The first thing I do when arriving to work is to get coffee and read Slashdot online for 15 minutes. I find that the variety of technical news helps set me in the proper frame of mind for the rest of the day. Also, it allows me time when my staff knows that I am available for them to come in with various problems at the begining of the day without interupting my schedule.
My degree is math, and I am employeed as a computer programmer. I don't design the interfaces, I don't want to, and I'm not skilled at it. I talk to the users (or get my boss to), have the artists draw screenshots of the user interface, and then implement the UI and all the rest of the program (okay, typically, I'm working on the back-end while they work on the front-end). Changing button text from "Ok" to "Cancel" or rearranging forms is something I do when I'm tired after lunch or stuck on a technical question.
Now, most web developers are really designers, if that's what you're going for. (Yes, many web developers are programmers. I've worked as one with other developers who are more into layout. If you're one I'm not talking about you.)
He actually was listing all possible causes: social, economic, innate, etc. and saying that all of them have to be examined. He also was talking about the people at the very top of the math/science academic later, which are predominatly male.
And, there has been research that shows men have more variation in intelligence (but lower average intelligence), meaning that at any given point, the ends of the bell curve should be prodominately male. I think that was the research he wanted to continue, to see if more than one study found that.

Vice City and San Andreas were exclusive, for a period, for the PlayStation.
He just wanted to remind people that the PS3 wasn't getting an exclusive period on Madden or GTA. Both of which (I think) it had before.
And thought, first my girlfriend, now firefox. I'll see a doctor about it, just stop complaining. You're just giving me performance anxiety.
Psychic gently asked to knock it the fuck off and let somebody else win something for a change.
Which is why I make all my bets through intermediares.

I for one welcome our horny police overlords.

I wish I knew what I changed so I could tell you. I do know that Preferences->Advanced->History lets you set up the default page.

I actually trust the cable company more than a phone company

Assuming that my analysis is correct:
For me, the automatic reloading seems tied to the URL. That is http://slashdot.org/ always reloads at the same rate, but http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?yada.yada does not inherit that option.

I'm sure he intended the domain to include 0, so that the answer is ln (2).
