Very good advice, but I'd like to add that one shouldn't just look for any coop or internship. Find something interesting.
I did a coop for a Department of Defense contracter. Writing code for sonar/radar targetting systems is a lot more satisfying then writing yet another web backend (e.g.: contrast "Congratulations - you've just completeled your first succesful web transaction" with "Congratulations - you've just detected, identified, and tracked your very first Russian Tango.")
Actually, the wholesale slaughter of trees is not because of the paper industry, it's from the furniture and housing industry.
Most paper is made from crop trees, they are engineered to create better pulp and planted just like regular crops. Your average tree that you find in natural forests makes really bad paper...
The problem NASA had with the Metric vs Imerial calculations was due to rounding errors in the conversion equations (ie: only going out x amount of decimals points; where x wasn't large enough). The error introduced by the lack of precision wasn't due to a single conversion but due to multiple back and forth conversions (probably in the order more than a hundred). It was not a single incident of "oops, I meant five meters, not five feet."
This doesn't justify it, but I don't think a lot of people actually know what the real problem was. It was a precision error, not a Metric vs Imperial error.
Rogue DHCP Server
on
Dorm Storm?
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
For the last two semester I resided in a fairly wired dorm apartment. Eight computers for four people (two dualboot Windows/Linux, one dualboot Windows/BeOS, three Linux, one Mac OS and one Mac OS X (yea BSD)).
Originally we just plugged ourselves into the network. My roommate happened to be running a DHCP server on his one box to lease IPs to the other three machines of his. Apparently a bunch of other Windows boxes on our subnet defaulted to DHCP and the computer illiterate owners of those boxes just thought 'hey, it set itself up by itself and didn't think twice about it'. Around the second semester the other guys in my apartment and I decided to grab our own subnet (our University owns an entire B class and only uses about twenty three of the subnets) and firewall ourselves off from the rest of campus (tangent: when our University blocked Napster's server IPs this setup was very useful because we just set our router, a linux box, to dial out to a local ISP and route all packets destined to the servers out the modem). At this point, the DHCP server on his one box stopped leasing IPs to the subnet we were previously on. After a couple annoyed students came to ask us to fix their computers after they suddenly stopped connecting to the network we figured out what happened. After checking the DHCP server's logs it turns out he was leasing IPs to around thirty or forty other computers.
We've been lobbying our University to use a DHCP setup. It would really faciliate moving in for students and stop those annoying problems like students mistyping their IP addresses (or simply just putting in a random IP in their subnet) causing multiple computers to have the same IP address.
The reason it was probaby dropped was because someone figured out that the Cobalt Cube resembles the NeXT box. The NeXT box coming before the Cobalt Cube and Apple having bought out NeXT probably put a crimp in their lawsuit...
Well, what you see are pixels but MacOS X's quartz is a third generation display that uses Postscript. You'll notice that resized icons don't become pixelated (well, stuff that takes advantage of postscript won't appear pixelated, but older stuff from the legacy MacOS will still use the older pixmap rendering)
Well, what went wrong was that they didn't cut the ropes to the weights at the same time. On one side the rope was cut and that side of the mini shot to the surface, the other rope hadn't been completely cut. When the mini became angled the floats from the side that was cut slide out from under the mini and the whole thing just sank.
Why were Yahoo clubs singled out? The content in the clubs could not have comprised more than a fraction of a percent of material available on the internet that would be "against the kingdom's religious, social and political values."
They have colored RoscoLux sheets in 20"x24" cuts. They also have some other color correction stuff. I recommend R3202 - Full Blue (CTB). We used it in our dorm room on our overhead fluorescent fixtures.
The course might also cover topics on how to detect unauthorized activity on the network, and maybe even social engineering that maybe be used to preempt attacks.
Could the polygon translation and rotation cause it? Or possibly the field of view?
I've introduced several people into gaming and to get them started I will turn down the FOV because they will get motion sickness at the normal and higher ranges.
Apple does mark up their bundled RAM and HDs alot. You can save alot just by buying the low end machine upgraded with whatever CPU you want. Make sure when you buy the RAM to check that the speed is 2, 2, 2. I've seen more than one person buy el'cheapo RAM from the dealer on the corner and get stuck with crappy 3, 3, 3 RAM.
I'd recommend getting the Apple ZIP drive (if you want a zip drive) because it comes with the translucent bezal. If you don't specify the zip drive and you buy a generic zip from somebody you are just going to have a beige zip drive in a blue case...
The Studio Display monitors are worth every penny. With monitors, what you pay is what you get. If you get the cheapo $600 19" you are getting a bad monitor (but if you don't care, more power to ya). Studio Display's use ColorSync to give you a much better picture. The only other monitors that match the quality of an Apple monitor are the professional Sony FD Trinitron, Radius, etc, which are priced just as much (sometimes more). This one is your call. If you have the money, its a very good monitor.
The internal modem slot is proprietary (their are third party modems, but I don't think any of them fit in that slot). If you need a modem, the best one you can get is Apple's. If you don't need one, don't get it.
To sum it all up. Click the BTO button. Select whatever CPU you want, the ZIP drive, and the modem. Everything else buy from a quality third party dealer.
I was very disappointed in this years contest. The automatic turnin program written in Java was not functioning at the Scranton site.
All our submissions had to be hand submitted by the judges which greatly reduced the speed of which we could get back feedback (you could have submitted a program an hour into the contest and chances are you wouldn't have known if it worked or not).
Ridge is a moron who tries to appear as a technically adept person. Pennsylvania doesn't need tax free computers. Pennsylvania needs broadband access and more technical industries.
There are no decent high tech industries here at all and without high speed access PA will never attract startups.
Whoopie. A whole bunch of consumers with their tax-free computers and their ancient and slow dialup connections.

Well if you have a really customized OS you can just toss it on the iPod and take it to any Mac and be right at home.
Especially useful for those at college who hate how some Mac labs may be locked down with software. Again, just plug in and boot your own setup.
Also - it's not like this feature was in the requirements doc for the iPod. It's just an added bonus of Firewire.

Hard to believe these are real, considering they had very similar pictures on just the other night that were obviously rendered (badly).

If you want to stand out, along with having great sound, flatpanels are the way to go.

Microsoft bought $150 million of nonvoting shares. Hardly significant, esphecially since they've probably sold it by now.

You were looking at the wrong page, in fact, you were probably at the wrong site completely...
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/streaming /
From that page: If you have registered with this site, you can download the source code for the Darwin Streaming Server 2.0.1 server and proxy.
In fact, here is someone who has taken the source from the server and made several enchancements:

A company called WildPackets (formerly known as the ag group) makes a program called Etherpeek that has some of the analysis that you are looking for.
If need something it doesn't do, there is a nice plugin interface so you can write a tool to analysize data.
The main problem with Etherpeek is that it costs a grand. There is a free demo you can download though. I believe it is only time limited.

Apple keeps a large profit margin on HDs and RAM so that value added resellers can bundle more stuff for the same price.

Well, technically speaking, there are three arguments. Most people forget to pass the environment, which is env (char *env[]).

How is it hurting though?
All the music companies are still reporting very high profits and none are anywhere near going out of business.
Just a thought...
