Blech. The whole thing is making me sick. Legal extortion from ones who are extorting? Sometimes I wish the Mob could step in. They seem to be the real pros when it comes to the stuff. Real quick and to the point.
Then we wouldn't have patents on fly by procedures or other silly things, well a lot more cement blocks. Is that such a bad thing.
Back to reality, what did SES think Boeing was going to do? Just ignore existing litigation?
Maybe I shouldn't try to post to/. after drinking on a Saturday afternoon. It causes me to revert to "Some place up dar!" Obviously Boston Uni and MIT are much different institutions.
Anyways, the documents I MEANT to find are no where to be found in a quick search. Perhaps someone there can be of use. Anywho, flame me away for my stupidity. Back to drinking!
I'm not an MIT student so perhaps one of them will come up a more inclusive document that states the TOS in using their network.
http://web.mit.edu/olh/Rules/#rule_4 All in all, what I saw when I read through that was that it DID not say whether or not MIT would surrender any information in case of a lawsuit against the network.
What the heck are they going to be rendering? I mean, i keep hearing how it'll be ultra-realistic...but will people suddenly start rendering things like never before? Excuse me for my incompetence though.
Off topic rant.. Ok. So, this new discussion system is kinda half-cocked. I wanna revert it to the good ol' html click boxes. Where the heck is the option under my preferences?
We should be able to contract this out. Offer maybe a mere 50 million dollars to the entrant that can produce the best results Unfortunately, since it's a gov't contract, I believe the mark up of 300% is required. Even if it's the lowest bid.
Not all are, but I believe Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite are an example. I've been told that from a few buddies who homebrew alot. I'll see if I can find the actual quote later.
Fly Sparging makes the most sense for economical reasons, though with any method you should never be extracting tannins. Where did you hear about batch sparging leading to tannin extraction?
Exactly. The lagering(30-50F cooling,yeast dependent) required for making such beer is long, involving 1-3 months, iirc. Any temperature variation and the yeast have no problem dumping off flavors with diacetyls, etc.
Currently most of what you see with Lites and other cheap beers are what the your 2nd, 3rd, even 4th runnings from the grains. You're left with a few fermentable sugars that don't add much flavor.
Besides, if you want to get drunk and the such, you wouldn't spend at least 5 weeks waiting for a beer. Rather, you'd want to savor the fine tasting of it. That taste disappears as you get hammered, wasting your months of waiting.
I came from a class of 3 that graduated last year.
Honestly, the courses were too easy or too hard. I think it was just that Math or business was just easier to work with, since your pencil and paper never require manipulating executive files and messing with header files.
I think that perhaps, it's not that it is too low or that students aren't hearing about the major, but rather not many like having to beat their heads over learning Dijkstra, Euler, and what the Big O's of the typical data structures or whatever weed out subjects are.
What I think would be more interesting is seeing how many minors are being sought by other disciplines for CS and what CS majors are taking for a minor
Either way, I was put on contract before graduating then another one a few months later. I'm pretty happy so far, but wonder if I'll be content once I look for a bit more permanent job (if such things still exist)
Agreed. Coding and other software related 0problems that had me stumped on during working hours suddenly became easier to see other ways via, er, Mr. Beam's advice. I think my senior project for college would have never gotten done without it actually.....

post, store, send, transmit, or disseminate any information or material which a reasonable person could deem to be indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, hateful, or intimidating; Man. Does that mean comcast is going to start going after trolls for us? Additionally, I don't want to know how they'll determine what porno is to "reasonable person"
initiate, perpetuate, or in any way participate in any pyramid or other illegal scheme; be aware all you would-be ponzi-scheme runners in Eve or WoW.
impersonate any person or entity, engage in sender address falsification, forge anyone else's digital or manual signature, or perform any other similar fraudulent activity (for example, "phishing" There goes my not-very-famous George Dubya Impersonations.
use or distribute tools or devices designed or used for compromising security, such as password guessing programs, decoders, password gatherers, unauthorized keystroke loggers, analyzers, cracking tools, packet sniffers, encryption circumvention devices, or Trojan Horse programs. Unauthorized port scanning is strictly prohibited; No Nmapping your own computer or another to make it secure!!!!
copy, distribute, or sublicense any software provided in connection with the Service by Comcast or any third party, except that you may make one copy of each software program for back-up purposes only; They don't care if it IS free. Only one for you!
use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises local area network ("Premises LAN"), also commonly referred to as public services or servers.

I have disagree. Having set up and used one(I believe it was a Samsung, though this was 6 months ago) for my parents, it is a boon. The TV uses a standardized Sata-II Hard drive that is 250GB. With that, they only had to have one single remote that did it all without any extra setup. It took about 30 minutes for me to teach my dad how to work the JIT recording, programming guide etc. As for the audio and video quality, I can honestly say that it looked more than acceptable, though slight pixellation occurred (then again, it was 57"). He also loves being able to have a flat space for the TV, with nothing else sitting atop.
If CABLECard technology would take off (aka-not suck), I'd rather see the fusion of the display into something of a Home theater PC. Or, for those with a bit more cash, a centralized multiplexer with massive storage attachment, provide a dumb-terminal to network-attached displays.
Only when the medium itself, (IE-Cable or Ethernet) becomes obsolete do you need to find another device (Prolly wireless)
Heh. Sounds more like snark than a shot at the reviewer. Either way, when you are a one-man wrecking/building machine, it helps the other, lesser, common men if you help sift through the crap.
But I thought the best way to browse securely was have all traffic sent to your home server, encrypt it, and forward to the laptop. This was because you assume your home network is inherently more secure. With is approach, you are leaving your home network, including your significant others, at risk. Especially those who are not savvy enough to apply updates and maintain anti-virus.
While I understand the anonymity helps his secure network stand out, all those open networks are just waiting for a guy with a little time and knowhow to start doing many bad things, say, man-in-the-middle. Just because you are blending into the pack does not keep the lions from eating one of you.
Now then, it IS his network at home, so he can do whatever the heck he feels like. And I do understand his social aspects of looking at WiFi as another resource for the public. But that does not free you from liability regardless of how little or insignificant it may be or stupidly enforced.
To me, it sounds like he doesn't want to roll up his sleeves and do some dirty work with port-forwarding, SSH-ing, and proxying. With those, you can enjoy quite decent browsing while away AND understand that your weakest point is at home.
3. Pooh Trial Thrown out (heh heh) A trial involving the Winnie the Pooh was ruled in favor of Disney after the family was found to have "tampered" with files at Disney.
The judge has a love for evidence. Torrentspy shoulda known what would happen if they messed around with it.
This would be a massively positive move for people who spend thousands of dollars on hi-fi gear, but refuse to give money to stores that only offer compressed music So....this is for all 17 of them? I figured since they have that much money for equipment, most would just get the CD's and rip them via those means. If you can afford a $20k speaker, you can afford a a few TB Hard drives to keep your music.
For network TV, I fail how to see this as piracy. With an antenna and DVR, I can record it and replay without their express permission. So if someone else does it for me, is it still pirating? I'm gonna watch the show with my DVR or a torrent version from someone else, but the end result is the same. I watch the show.
This is exactly how I got hooked on Jericho. I watched the series after it got canceled. I really liked it and ending up watching it again with my friends, who, in turn enjoyed it. Now, we're waiting for the show in mid-January. With HD recording software of course.
Especially on shady maps. Red stands out making it far easier to see them trying to snipe. High ground and Valhalla are two that immediately come to mind. Even better, change the brightness/contrast on your tv and never miss red again. Just how it is I suppose.

I had a professor handing out assignments today regarding a openGL 3-D program. It's implementing how openGL does everything we've done manually...
anyways, the due date was tomorrow till he realized he had the dates wrong.

I recall that they have been planning this for a while. Check out http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6547-scientists-seek-to-create-threeparent-babies.html.

On an unrelated note, where does this guy live?
This is the same judge who decided information stored in RAM is easy to document and filter.
Since that topic has been expounded upon, here are some articles about the judge in the case:
1. Judge dismisses trial for prosecutor's misconduct
Here, she dismissed a case when the prosecutors offered a plea agreement to a witness so he could not testify for the defense.
2. Notorious BIG Trial mistrial declared
In this instance, she declared a mistrial when LAPD was withholding evidence from the trial.
3. Pooh Trial Thrown out (heh heh)
A trial involving the Winnie the Pooh was ruled in favor of Disney after the family was found to have "tampered" with files at Disney.
