Collect data from users in the field in nearly invaluable way to make improvements to ANYTHING.
There's also the "improvement' of adjusting feature lists into pricing tiers. Collecting live data is a pretty good way to get the timely feedback needed to maximize profit sooner.
A very significant portion of remaining IE6/7 users are enterprise users not allowed to change their browser, due to internal apps not being certified. Cutting support like that will only cut traffic to the sites and piss off their users, the users wont be able to do anything about it. Heck, even Microsoft wants IE6/7 to die. About the only hope to kill of this IE6/7 user base is that corporations keep adopting Windows 7 - a project that include testing and updating for compatibility all around.
IANA{IT} person, but would it be possible to run IE6/7 on a virtual/guest OS machine and then have an IPv6 wrapper around the guest OS? Corporate wouldn't then have to lose their IE6/7 "compatibility." Or do they do this already?
Good riddance. Applications' menu bars (not in Chrome) shouldn't need 33% of the monitor vertical space.
It is kind of funny...how yesterday's long monitors (just to see a single entire document page or print preview page) are today's widescreens. It also makes perfect sense to have side menus.
Common sense ideas like yours won't be possible until moderate Republicans take back the party.
Sarcasm, or no? It was Republicans who advocated, passed, and then underfunded No Child Left Behind. The Democratic party is seeing fit to run with it though.
As I see it, every few years there are renewed pushes to get kids interested in the sciences to little apparent effect. US culture idolizes sports and entertainment while mocking geeks and scientists. Those who are qualified to work in science and reject the big incomes of finance cannot find corresponding work because foreigners are sought after to fill the positions.
Sorry, but the US is currently fscked in many ways.
I have refused to buy Seagate since I became uncomfortable with their apparent lack-to-slow response to their user forum about reports of HDD bricking. Granted, there were several manufacturing sites and firmware versions about. Quality control issues AFAICT. I own one of the affected drives (I *think* so, since there are conflicting reports) but am afraid of using it for anything critical. Since then I've needed to buy ~10 TB in HDD -- all Samsung drives in fact, and they have given me zero problems thus far. In the past, I've not had problems with WD, but that was back in the day with 80 GB IDE HDD. Anyway, I fear what market consolidation will bring.
Thank goodness a university has finally decided to teach a curriculum based on what its professors like, instead of adhering to silly concerns about what might be useful in the real world. Students can rest assured that they'll get a first class CS education, and--sorry, what was that? Jobs? You want to get a job? What the fuck do you think this is, DeVry?
Now go finish your LISP homework!
IANACS (computer scientist) but wanted to comment on your jobs training comment. The language that's being tossed around in my little corner of my university has to do with "training the next generation of workers." That's always bothered me a bit because it suggests we may be starting to pick up one of the community colleges' role. Perhaps it's based on realities of current and future funding, as our state seems to be planning to link part of its higher educational funding to performance outcomes. Anyway, CMU's stance seemed bold, but it is consistent with their being an academic institution.
If she doesn't want something dated and enjoys Torchwood, I think I would start with Doctor Who circa 2005. There are Torchwood tie-ins that will become apparent.
I noticed that other day that Chrome had the Aviary image editor which looked roughly like a lightweight (I mean size-wise) GIMP. It's interesting to be able to have the real GIMP inside a browser now. This could spark an apps-vs.-extensions war and corresponding pissing match^W^W debate.
I'd say base-12 makes more sense.

Natural selection's fingerprint identified on fruit fly evolution
Researchers at the University of Rochester have produced compelling evidence of how the hand of natural selection caused one species of fruit fly to split into two more than 2 million years ago. The study, appearing in today's issue of Nature, answers one of evolutionary biologists' most basic questions--how do species divide--by looking at the very DNA responsible for the division. Understanding why certain genes evolve the way they do during speciation can shed light on some of the least understood aspects of evolution.
I run a cluster with eth0 and eth1 defined. If I swap out a network card on a machine, a new eth2 gets created, rendering that machine unreachable over the network. To fix this, I edit/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules manually.
Udev doesn't seem intelligent enough to figure out how to do the substitution automatically.
The cell phone system is supposed to assign you to the cell that reads the strongest signal. I read somewhere that the software is programmed to know what the neighboring cells are surrounding the cell your phone is in. (That article had to do with law enforcement using tower lists to track your location history.) In doing so, the software is able to anticipate and facilitate tracking your phone crossing cell boundaries. Theoretically, this should be possible from the air just as it is from the Earth's surface.
My speculation is that while the software should be able to accommodate the condition of tracking ~100 phones moving at several times faster than an automobile, it would be necessary to update tower neighbor lists more frequently. The towers and phones would have to "ping" each other more frequently to check whether the phone has crossed a boundary, thereby causing a greater power expenditure for everyone.
Bottom line: power costs money. And it would be costly for cell phone companies to increasing the sampling rate of all their towers on account of a relatively smaller number of air users as compared to land users. This is where micro-cell towers will play a role.
It was possible to use the flip side of 5.25" floppies by notching the other edge of the disk. Specialized cutters were sold for making square notches, but round-hole paper punchers worked too. Manufacturers certified, of course, only the original side of the disk, but I never had a problem using the flip side.
Good! Maybe one the shit blows up they can replace the 50 year old hardware that's been causing brownouts in California since the early 80s.
No doubt they will extort the government into providing taxpayer-paid "bailout funds" because they don't want to risk reducing their profit in the short term, even though they will probably pull in extra profits as the nubmer of electric vehicles increases.
Our campus allows you to register a phone number and an email address, but messages sent to phones belonging to non-first-tier resellers such as Virgin Mobile etc., don't get through. I'm not sure who's to blame.
A government mandated EBS would apparently fix this problem as well as limit the broadcast to phones just in the vicinity of the emergency.

Assuming no tampering, that is. As has been said elsewhere, GPS goes well beyond "tracking mileage."

I'm waiting for them to come up with a self-replicating drone. We could call them replicators. Um...maybe that's not such a good idea.
should probably become the norm, not only after a fraud attempt is noticed/reported.

Virgin Mobile has two Android phones which get you unlimited data for $25/month. It's far and away the cheapest smart phone data plan in the US.
Yes, plan. And it will currently cost 8 months' worth of plan just to purchase the phone.
then in the extreme limit you would have publicly funded, private, religious education.

My comment: Natural selection is scientific fact. Evolution by natural selection is the theory.

In fact, ReBoot is already taken. It had great CGI animation at the time -- sort of rigid movements and not a whole lot of textures.

No, especially since it's small compared to the cost of gasoline used to storm chase after the thing :)
