Still about the same now. I was just watching some youtube videos from people in Japan, and they found some vending machines selling large bottles of sake with no verification. The cigarette machines all had age verification systems built in.
This just saves time for the Universities. Cheating at any state Uni in my state will get you banned for life from the entire State Uni system. People with no skills or talent get quickly filtered by intro classes. Cheaters are just doing themselves a disservice, they'll rarely make it through a decent Uni.
He wrote his in C, because he never actually bothered to learn Pascal syntax. We gave him zero points.
Crap class anyway. All good classes only require pseudo-code. Discrete Math for programming class, all answers and projects could be written in any language, even made up ones, aka pseudo-code. Just be prepared to explain the Big-O of your code and the exact steps required for accomplish your code. Even my advanced C Algorithms class did not require C code for test taking, only projects that got handed in, because they needed to compile.
There was an intro to programming class, which was technically a requirement for graduation, but I just went to the department head and he removed it as a requirement for me. That was fun explaining to to the Office of Registrar at graduation time.
Smart people have a high rate of test anxiety and do not perform well under stress. Creativity in general is highly negatively affected by stress of any kind and creativity is typically associated with being "smart" by allowing you to think outside the box.
You're talking about replay attacks. I wonder if there is a way to mitigate these or if it's a fundamental issue with all forms of bio-metrics and untrusted inputs.
Basic math repetition is so annoying. 80/20 rule. Huge diminishing returns on extra practice. You should practice it enough to understand it, but nothing more. If you need to get better at doing it in your head, then it'll happen naturally when the time arises. I use math all the time, but I never do the calculations myself. Most of what I do is designing algorithms(programming), let the computer do the grunt work.
Research into microkernels is gaining traction because message passing inherently scales better for many core systems and is a natural fit for heterogeneous computing.
Modern hardware can use event notification of when data is ready. An example is how AMD Mantle works. The user application allocates memory locally and when it's ready, writes to a shared memory location the necessary information, like a pointer to where the data is located in the user context. Writing to this memory triggers a hardware event that notifies the GPU, which then changes to the user context and reads the data. All of this is done without the kernel. The only thing the kernel is used for is the setup of the shared memory. Similar things can be done inside the CPU.
"I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way--by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!"
I have A.D.D., and after taking medication, I can be focused on almost anything. While I can much better remember something that I am focused, if I am interested in something, I will have dreams about it and my subconscious will join in on the fun. The more interested I am in a subject, the more I think about it and the more ideas come into my head. The more ideas I have about something, the better those ideas are networked in my brain, enhancing my ability to remember them.
I have a bad memory for most things, so I've learned many ways to enhance my memory, a lot of which includes associating something new with something I already know, no matter how separated those two ideas are. Even haphazard thoughts or experiences enhance my ability to clearly remember something. The brain is all about interconnections.
Interest requires that you are aware of a subject, but not fully knowledge in it. You can still be curious about something that you are interested in. You may say that interest is a requirement for curiosity. Curiosity is more like an active form of interest, as it implies a certain amount of action towards something you are interested.
Understanding and knowledge have some overlap, but understanding mostly just requires remembering the high level of knowledge for its abstract, and not so much detailed facts. Different forms of knowledge. At the same time, it is hard to properly understand the abstract without at least knowing the details at one point. - My opinion
When I have 30+ tabs opened, which is common for me, one tab that has bad javascript or is doing something "bad", can cause all of the other tabs to not work correct. Chrome rarely has this issue, while IE and FF happen all the time for me. FF ad-block helps a lot, but it's still much worse than Chrome for me.
HTTP1.1 already supported pipelining many requests over the same connection, but you had to wait for the prior request to finish before the next one could start processing. This means stalling while waiting. HTTP2's multiplexing allows for async requests, meaning you do no need to wait for a request to finish to issue the next request, and requests are capable of returning out of order. This means fewer opened TCP connections in order to to get the same performance, which means fewer states for firewalls and servers to manage, and better congestion control for the network stack.
A lot of TCP connections between two endpoints can cause synchronization issues with the TCP congestion control, because they high change of all experience the same issues at the same time causing a "Thundering Herd" problem.
When limiting myself to premium name brands, the price difference between 8GB and 16GB is about $65. 8GB is what I put on my firewall because it was dirt cheap, even though it doesn't even break 100MB of usage, and like $20 more than 4GB at the time. 8GB is quite low end.
Yes, CPUs are so fast compared to harddrives, that not only does ZFS default to using compression for storage, but they are working on leaving the data compressed in memory. The cool benefit is the data block logic for moving between the caching layers is much simpler because there are not compression/decompression steps anymore. All compression and decompression happens in one spot in the code.
Chrome can be a resources hog, but it's the only browser that doesn't periodically freeze up when attempting to load web pages. And "resources hog" is a relative term when desktops tend to now have 16GB+ memory and quad core 3ghz CPUs that are idle 24/7. I would rather have a browser that is wasteful with my over-abundance of resources and runs smoothly, than a browser that is fickle about using resources, but has jarring interruptions.
It's not a pipedream. We can already do async CPUs, but there are easier ways to increase performance. In other words, you get better returns via other methods for the time being.
MAC's vary in price a lot, but most medium to high end MACs cost about 100%-200% than it costs to build the computer yourself. You've paid for 50 years of OS upgrades through your absurdly expensive hardware.
Win8 functions quite a bit better than Vista on low memory. Not only does it use less memory by nearly 20%-30% to get a usable desktop, but it's much smarter about paging.
Every step that involves humans increases the chance of errors. It also puts more load on each person, increasing their rate of error. With more steps in which to have an error, on top of more steps, your error rate is a product of the two. Not to mention a complete waste of time and resources.
I wonder if chess is a good subject to test with. It has been shown to involve very little logic during brain scans and actually be primarily a mixture of memory(experience) and visual processing, both of which almost any brain is good at.

Something you know or unique patterns created by your brain.

When coupled with a CDN hosting most of your multimedia(non-compressible data), nearly all of your bandwidth is compressible.

Many years back, I also came up with the idea that an indestructible 100000% efficient solar panel would be totally awesome! /sarc
The article seems to give no information about proof that any of this could be done, just "hey, wouldn't this be really cool if we could do this?".
