I think in middle school they tried to teach Logo programming, so that may have been my true programming first experience. And of course, I'll throw JavaScipt in there during the web's early heydays.
Learned BASIC at summer camp on a TRS-80 Model 1, then my father got a Model 3, then I eventually got a TI-99/4A. In high school they had BASIC classes, but I learned C on the PDP-11/70 running Unix from friends at school. My first C program was very BASIC-like. Once I got a PC, I started dealing with 8086 Assembly (and totally doing frame setup wrong). Learned Pascal to take the Computer Science AP class. In college, I ended up having to take the low-level intro to programming class, despite my AP scores, because they added "two weeks of FORTRAN" at the end of the class. I got to skip the Data Structures due to AP, but ended up taking classes in 8086 Assembly, Ada, 68K Assembly, SQL and Scheme. Started learning C++ on my own around this time, too. On my first job, learned just enough AMD 29K assembly before they cancelled the project. Learned Java while taking classes for my masters program. After that, learned Perl for scripting a source control server. I've picked up a little bit of python at my current job.
They could save 1mm by going to 2.5mm jacks. Those are reasonably standard and would require only a small (and inexpensive!) adapter for older headphones. My Bose noise-canceling headset uses a 2.5mm plug/jack into the actual headphones (cable is removable).
I suspect the loss of this jack may be somewhat related to improving water resistance; those 3.5mm jacks are deep and have lots of potential for leaking.
I was on a recent college tour with my son. UMass, RIT, Purdue and Penn State all have these centers. They make it very convenient to pick up from and return items to Amazon. They also support textbook rentals. Purdue claims to have had the first Amazon center. Just Google "Amazon @".
i am in one of those strange places where I make a decent living, but ended up with a lot of debt (mostly due to divorce) and have to deal with a mortgage and my children going off to school.
1. Pay off debt - credit cards, mortgages, other loans. 2. Put aside money for college for the children. 3. Donate money to some very specific, local, causes. My wife has a community theater group she wants to support, and I'd want to support the local Boy Scout troops, and some other groups. 4. Travel: spent more time working when I was younger than traveling. I'd like to see more of the world. And not just in one-week chunks. 5. Figure out what I really like and then do it. I've been a software engineer for a long time, but it doesn't really satisfy me as much as it used to.
They completely changed the formatting from the UGLYNESS that it was (actual tab characters and indented braces) to a much more sane formatting (closer to the Linux Kernel).
So, why doesn't this apply to all civil lawsuits? This is how it works in many countries thus their courts aren't tied up as bad as ours (i.e. American). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loser_pays
Canada has GST and HST, both of which as sales taxes. A read of the article says that a subtotal is calculate, tax is then added, and then depending on the method of payment, the amount is rounded as necessary; only for cash transactions.
The books will not be "off by several hundred dollars" because the rounding will go down 50% of the time, and up 50% of the time, averaging out to a net zero loss/gain. POS (Point-Of-Sale) software can be updated to make note of how rounding is done for each transaction, and this can be tallied at the end of the day.
The pricing supposedly includes the subsidy. So, when your 2 years is up, the subsidy is paid for, so your phone bill should drop, right? No, they encourage you to upgrade again. If you don't, in effect, you are continuing to pay off the subsidy.
There is a sweet spot in this plan for me. I have 4 smart phones, plus a messaging phone, which gives the following: 4GB -> $260 + tax 6GB -> $260 + tax 10GB -> $270 + tax Why would I pick 4GB if 6GB is the same price?
If I were to have have 5 lines, so the price of 5 smart phones is: 4GB -> $270 + tax 6GB -> $265 + tax 10GB -> $270 + tax Still, why would I pick 4 GB if 10 GB is the same price?
This is not much of a discount for me... unless my other lines had 2GB plans and/or I was tethering and/or I had a 3G iPad. Tethering seems to be included, however.
I didn't have any email addresses under my "About". Facebook didn't change my email addresses, it added the @facebook.com one to my About page. I was able to hide it, but you won't be able to get rid of it.
You can easily spoof FB messages to people using an unsecured SMTP server. I tried sending myself a message from my wife (not knowing my wife's FB or email passwords), and it worked; it looked as though the message were from her! Since there's no email headers to evaluate, you can't tell where it really came from. There is a little icon indicating that it is "Unable to confirm X as the sender." But it still shows up with her FB profile picture and full name (which I didn't provide in the email).
I miss Car Wars. I had lots of fun playing that after school and playing the cheesy computer game based on it (which came with a mini-toolkit in the box - no more swag like that in games any more!).
SJG stopped publishing supplements and revised the system. Unfortunately, they over-simplified it and effective killed it.
I've always liked TiVo products - I've bought a number of them over the years (my mom loves it!). I was one of those who "won" a Series 1 way back when; their system screwed up an awarded almost everyone who entered a free TiVo.
But TiVo as a company has always worried me; their stock has generally been week; and they haven't really innovated much beyond the original DVR.
OK, it's cool that they have a 4-tuner model, but how many times do I really have that many conflicts? Especially with today's cable networks rebroadcasting shows after 3 hours for the west coast?
Strictly-speaking, I don't believe so. There's no way to negotiate the compression method. In the case of the server sending data, the client is able to indicate acceptable compression algorithms (via Accept-type headers) before the server sends the data (with Content-Encoding headers indicating compression). With the client sending data first, there's no way for the server to tell the client what is acceptable.
SSL does have support for compression, but there are no compression methods defined other than NULL.
It's apparently an issue with the client-sent data - that is the data that is analyzed. BEAST has no control over the server-sent data, so whatever the server does, short of closing the connection, has no effect.
Based on what is known about this attack, there are a number of ways it can be thwarted without the need for TLS v1.1/v1.2.
1. Google's solution: by randomly sizing the TLS records, this adds randomness to the known plaintext through more frequent padding.
2. OpenSSL's solution of refreshing the IV by adding an empty TLS record - but some MS products have issues with this.
3. TLS v1 permits up to 255 bytes of padding. Most implementations add the minimum amount (up to 7 for 3/DES and 15 for AES). Using a random amount of padding adds randomness to the known plaintext, in a manner similar to, but different than, Google's solution.
4. Use HTTP/1.0. The suspected attack vector requires a long-term TLS connection that is reused by the browser. HTTP/1.0 allows one request per connection. Each connection will use different key material. This means that BEAST's JavaScript request will have different keys than the user's request. This is easily configurable on the server, and requires no changes to the client (unlike solutions 1-3).
The trade-off is that all these options slow down the connection to some degree.
Does a "text file" only exist on secondary storage? What about session cookies - those without an expiration date that are generally not written to a file on disk. Do they count? No "text file" is created, so they wouldn't fall under this law?
It's a bit vague.

Ok, it's UPenn, not Penn State. But this has apparently been around for a while at other schools:

The $0.61 fee is per-line, so with my 5-line family plan, it's an extra $3.05!

Your best bet for speed is likely to be eSATA.
Have you looked into something like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock
The cost becomes noise when you consider how many drives you will end up needing, and per TB, will be cheaper than USB solutions.
I don't know how your data is organized, but if possible, you may want to back it up by project/directory/etc.
There are also online backup systems that can do what you want, but it'll take an extremely long time...

I currently pay $220 + tax:
400 minutes = $60 + 4x lines ($10) = $100
Unlimited messaging = $30
Data: 2x 2GB ($25) + 2x 200GB ($15) + unlimited non-smartphone ($10) = $90
There is a sweet spot in this plan for me. I have 4 smart phones, plus a messaging phone, which gives the following:

There are some things that are obvious, e.g. conjunctivitis.
But, I fear that this may cause abuse of antibiotics by those who do not know the difference between bacteria and viruses.
