I agree with this. I just took the RHSA, and I can honestly say that having book knowledge wouldn't allow you to pass if you've never done some of the tasks before.
mpeg codecs = engine applications using engine = vehicle MPEG-AV = company who patented the mpeg codecs that makes up one of the engines FFmpeg = open source entity that may or may not infringe upon MPEG-AV's patents Google = using FFmpeg's engine (library) for mpeg codecs while paying MPEG-AV for a patent license
MPEG-AV made a great engine idea and patented it. They also sold licenses to MPEG-AV Manufacturing and quite a few other companies to manufacture the cars with the engines
FFmpeg manufactures vehicles in all shapes and sizes that may or may not infringe on Ford's engine patents.
Google, uses FFmpeg's engines in their vehicle, and since it may or may not infringe on MPEG-AV's patents, they license the technology from Ford-AV.
At least this is what i gathered from the above mailing list quips.
Hmm, I always thought you needed to be a state certified engineer to call yourself an engineer. If not, well then damn, i'm labeling myself a solve-interesting-IT-problems-that-no-one-else-can-engineer.
Well its not as if Microsoft doesn't make writing drivers complicated or anything. How many times has the drivers had to be rewritten to support "Supported" configurations per Microsoft.
He didn't ask for a virtual reality environment, he asked for a HMD. An HMD isn't limited in scope to just a virtual reality environment.
1) Augmented reality MMORPGs and FPSs. Done even slightly smartly a HMD could identify other players in the game and generate a 3d avatar around their physical person. Talk about a game of tag, last man standing or CTF. Or a spy game as mentioned in some of Charles Stross's novels
2) Assisted communication device for the deaf. Allows the deaf to wear a set of glasses with a device that transcribes a conversation to text.
3) Its the ultimate device for an ultraconnected somebody that always needs to be wired in for their news/twitter/facebook fix.
4) It would allow police to walk around constantly comparing faces on streets to mugshots. Taking the computer error out of facial recognition. The computer generates possible matches while the cop scrolls through them checking without breaking eye contact.
The long-term manifestations of weather and other atmospheric conditions in a given area or country, now usually represented by the statistical summary of its weather conditions during a period long enough to ensure that representative values are obtained (generally 30 years).
And man i thought you were saying that climate had nothing to do with the weather.
So having two sets of government overhead won't cost extra...
Sorry, i must of misinterpreted that meteorologists study weather. And climatologists study weather over long periods of time. I'd think these two fields of study would want to use the same resources, databases, etc.... So lets split them into two organizations so they can not only have two sets of government bureaucratic overhead but also two near identical sets of IT infrastructure, I'm sure thats cheap.
Way to go. We already have a national weather service. Why would you encourage the government to create yet another redundant service.
I thought tracking weather involved tracking the history of weather, which would lead me to believe that it would take a small investment into the national weather service to create a climate forcasting/monitoring service. Oh wait, NOAA's NWS already tracks climate.
So my XP workstation at my federal installation job can support a camera via the USB ports. So my computer is forbidden even though its sitting on my desk connected to a federal network, just because it has the capability?
That is one of the most stupid paraphrased misleading "quotes" i have ever seen.
What the article is saying is that you don't need fiber to the curb for the cable companies to get 100mbps service to the home. What Japan and other countries are doing is using the existing cabling with newer hardware. Verizon is running all new lines to their FIOS neighborhoods so of course its more expensive, its like comparing riding the bus to school and digging your own trench.
Additionally, I would prefer to trench through yards compared to running wiring in an older giant apartment complex that wasn't designed for rerunning cable throughout.
Currently without a degree I am leading a team of sysadmins managing around 600 servers spread across a large geographical area. I got here based on luck, making the right impression at the right time before I was available for another job. If you get a job in a high turnover, high tempo environment you can easily get experience and progress if you know what your doing.
For example, i am currently working in a warzone as a sysadmin team lead for 400-500 servers spread around the country. I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week making excellent money. When I took this job I had no professional linux/windows system administration experience. What I did going for me was that I owned RedHat 4.x back in 1996 and have been a linux fanboy since. So 12 years of using linux variants in my spare time got me in this position, and will sustain myself and my family for many decades with the experience I have now.
I believe the majority of slow downs are the addition of new "fancy" services such as Tracker. When my new ubuntu installation has more processes running than a fresh windows xp laptop from dell something is wrong.
Speaking of generic kernels... anyone had any luck building your own kernels in ubuntu. I usually do in gentoo but i am not sure on how ubuntu will handle it.
The way I see it is that if I am doing my job I shouldn't have to come in on the weekends. If it is my job to guarantee uptime then its my job to put precautions in place to guarantee that uptime. If due to budget, oversight, or other unavoidable reasons that don't allow me to guarantee that uptime then I will find another job. There are plenty of jobs, especially for people with the experience to fill them if you know how to look. For instance, my current job pays me seven days a week, 12 hours a day to ensure uptime. They pay me very very well to ensure this uptime and since its my responsibilty our uptime is in the 99.999 range. I don't get woken up at night either now.
Try using an access poing with WPA encryption. I switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu because of its wireless "just work damnit" attitude. I can still do nearly everything in Ubuntu, but now i don't have to worry about if I got the dependancies right.
Plus, 1 hour to get Ubuntu installed compared to minimum 2 weeks here in Iraq over a crappy satelite connection from an Italian ISP which Google somehow thinks is in the Netherland Antilles.
This is a zero loss mentality. Most individuals and businesses are adopting policies like this because of the threat of lawsuits. This is one of many of the various zero loss rules that is going to hurt our children in the long run. Children need to have injuries while they are young. Otherwise when they grow up and have never done anything of any count they are either 1) too afraid to try because of the possible risk involved or 2) they try everything possible to make up for what they didn't have as a child.
The U.S. Military is adopting many policies like this to create a zero-loss environment. For us to play water-polo we have to have a battalion commander approval because of the possible risk of soldiers drowning. We are seriously going to cripple our children by having zero loss ideas like this because there is no moderation.
How much are we importing though and how much are we exporting?
Even though we are a heavily industrialized company we don't export anything close to what we import. Due to the fact that our country is going to double in population over the next 93 years (projected) and will grow by 1/3 in the next 43 years what do you think we happen? Will we magically find an export that the rest of the world wants, or will our economic debt pull our country down.
The flip side to this coin is if our country fails on the global economic scale, the other countries who were producing exports primarily for the US will also loose their primary market. This essentially becomes a chicken and the egg story. They can't continue without us, but we probably can't without them either.
By simply plugging this data into an XY chart and creating a trendline we should hit 400 million right around year 2050 and 600 million by 2100. And we are trying to solve everyone else's problems.

Plan for the worst, Hope for the best.
Sadly, the plan would be the same for a zombie apocalypse.
Ford(-AV)? = MPEG-AV (This was part of the car analogy).
Maybe because the FFmpeg possible implementation of MPEG-AV's technology is better?
mpeg codecs = engine
applications using engine = vehicle
MPEG-AV = company who patented the mpeg codecs that makes up one of the engines
FFmpeg = open source entity that may or may not infringe upon MPEG-AV's patents
Google = using FFmpeg's engine (library) for mpeg codecs while paying MPEG-AV for a patent license
I think it goes like this:
MPEG-AV made a great engine idea and patented it. They also sold licenses to MPEG-AV Manufacturing and quite a few other companies to manufacture the cars with the engines
FFmpeg manufactures vehicles in all shapes and sizes that may or may not infringe on Ford's engine patents.
Google, uses FFmpeg's engines in their vehicle, and since it may or may not infringe on MPEG-AV's patents, they license the technology from Ford-AV.

network boot, instead of booting off of a drive of some sort you can boot off your network if its configured for dhcp and a bootp or pxe boot server.
