What the hell. Are you saying their validation tool did not take in account that authors of both submissions could be the same? So if a student writes a nice little library in year one and then continues to reuse it on future assignments, it would be flagged as plagiarizing one's self? That is seriously fucked up.
One professor had the audacity to ask if I was fighting the system because I cheat. He meant it jokingly, but it was still as offensive as hell.
A university is not a democracy. They are free to set the entry requirements as they see fit, so long as they don't violate civil rights. Professors are free to set the course requirements as they see fit, so long as they don't violate the university's requirements and guidelines.
Obviously these are man made caves. Not naturally formed ones carved by water. Man made caves tend to follow grid patterns because they are planned with the thought in mind to rent the space out. They will leave massive walls and pillars spaced out every 50 feet or so.
Also, caves with heavy usage are not going to be friendly to bats, which don't like being disturbed by 18 wheelers driving past every 20 minutes.
I've worked in the Kansas City caves and sat behind a desk on a computer for a while. It's fascinating for the first day but that ends quickly. The lack of sunlight and outdoor exposure really gets to drain on you week after week. Imagine getting up and going outside for some fresh air but when you go outside it's very dark, humid, claustrophobic, and the air is stale. It drives you nuts. Especially when you hear creaks and cracks all day in the dead of silence. I would not want to be an IT admin working in a cave.
Sticking to abstinence may not be 100% effective due to lack of discipline but neither are condoms 100% effective. You don't throw out abstinence because it's less than 100% just as one wouldn't throw out condoms because they are also less than 100%. It should be a series of protections starting with abstinence. If that fails, then condoms, if that fails then there are third, fourth, and fifth options: no sex until several months after introduction, non-penetrative sex only, and finally staying monogamous. Monogamy won't reduce pregnancy but it would increase the chance the male would stick around due to the relationship having survived the introduction phase.
Nothing is hard set with Oracle. If your company is big enough, Oracle can be bargained down quite a bit. My last employer wound up with an unlimited license deal, but I presume it cost millions for multi-year support contracts.
It's not legal. It clearly is abuse and criminal assault, but we are too lethargic and lazy to get off the PS3 and demand that our rights and dignity be upheld.
But to get performance and fault tolerance for Oracle, you need to throw a lot of money at it -- high end hardware, RAC licenses etc
I agree with your comment but I have a nitpick regarding the bit about RAC.
RAC is for high availability because a node failure doesn't impact availability as much as a primary failover does. Despite the marketing claims, in practice RAC doesn't scale that well so it's not very useful for high performance. I know this by working in 2 shops which tried RAC. Both migrated off it quickly after trying it. Think about it: more nodes = more synchronization overhead of the entire dataset. You get a lot more performance by partitioning the data and distributing among a fleet of independent nodes (thus cutting out a big chunk of synchronization communication). That is essentially the tactic NoSQL solutions take.
Gradually remove all information and apps from your FB profile, in the end leave only the bare minimum that's required to keep the profile alive.
I remember watching a video of a Facebook developer giving a presentation on their data storage architecture. I can't find the video, but the gist of it was that they use a homegrown flat file structure for archiving data which includes image data. External to the archives is an index which points to offsets into the archive files. New data is appended at the end and deleted data gets dereferenced, so the deleted data still resides inside the archive. The developer even mentioned that it was possible to recover the deleted data and then proceeded to speek a little on the privacy concerns because technically the data persists forever because they don't run jobs to condense the archives. This is non-intuitive to even well informed users.
Restaurants often have water filtration systems connected directly to the water line, which would invalidate the test. A test should be done with a line going to residence without a filter.
Btw, I do drink tap water if it's filtered. At my job we have a large filter and I know it works because the filtered water has no taste yet the tap water does (I've tasted both to compare).
Water in rural upstate new york tasted clean. Water in florida (west palm beach, orlando, and panama city) literally tasted like sand water. It was horrible and had a cloudy appearance. Water in kansas city tasted like chlorine. Water inside seattle also tastes like chlorine, but it is not as bad as kansas city. There is big difference so many of these "studies" are bullshit because they cherry pick the regions with good municipal filtration systems.
I saw that Penn & Teller episode and I saw a number of other TV "studies" on bottled water versus tap water, yet I still drink bottled and filtered water. Why? Because I taste and smell chlorine in the tap water. It's like when you unknowingly step in dog shit and notice you keep sniffing an odor. First you think you're imagining it, but it persists leading you to eventually turn over your foot to find dog shit underneath your sneaker. Penn & Teller are not going to convince me I don't smell chlorine in the water just as they could not convince me I don't smell dog shit if I stepped in it.
I had a 300k and a 500k UID. I don't use them because I forgot the logins a long time ago. Maybe you men should cut the crap with this obsession with UID size--among other sizes. Having a high UID does not mean you're new to slashdot or I.T. nor does it invalidate your opinions and comments.
Spending millions of dollars and loaning out hardware doesn't give school officials the right to remotely activate and control the laptop webcam and spy on children in their own bedrooms--potentially while undressing. People are pissed not due to knee jerk reaction, but because what the school did was fucking creepy.
Whereas mammals have a global static variable where SEXUAL_ORIENTATION = MALE or FEMALE.
I'm sure you are aware that humans are mammals and humans do not come in 2 genders. There is such a thing called intersexed which is considered a 3rd gender. Maybe people should stop being ignorant and look it up sometime. (Referring to yours and another child post off yours.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex It is more common than you think.
Just one person has to crack your DRM.
just one person of all the millions out there has to be smart enough to handle your useless "Increasing complexity" and believe me.
There will always be one who is either stunningly smart or just lucky.
Just like the other poster, you are also an idiot. I made it very clear my point is not about the initial hack. I'm losing my patience with morons such as yourself who have poor reading comprehension. Maybe you should not post again to my thread.
Btw, I have a policy of not repeating myself to every bonehead with the same reply. You'll just have to navigate the posts to figure it out.
You are missing the point completely. This is not about performing the initial hack. Going by the topic it's already been done. Any idiot can see that. The point is the hacked software must be hunted down, installed, and configured above and beyond normal installation of a legit copy. That is what I'm talking about.

The caves are bigger than you realize. They are basically underground cities.
Of course you will not read this because you posted anonymouse.. but.. for the record.. you are an idiot. Hint: support systems; support engineers.

You sound like a singe, childless person lecturing on proper parenting. There's always a couple in the bunch.
Do you really believe Rupert Murdoch or anyone connected to him will be reading your post?
One or two bogus articles fine. All day? What the fuck. Grow up slashdorks.

I spent 3 months in Taos and didn't hear any hum. It's a bullshit myth repeated by new age Taos idiots who believe they have supernatural perception.

The Wii is Macintosh of the game consoles. They hate the Wii for similar reasons of hating Macs.

How are you supposed to recognize the difference between 2 wines if you only taste one?
