Actually, I'm beginning to get behind this "id in the south" idea. I don't raise my Children there, but many people do and removing that competition for bio-jobs from my children gives them an evolutionary advantage. When future generations of my family are bio-engineering new products, the future sons of Louisiana will be holding prayer vigils around a test-tube and waiting for the almighty to feel creative (or intelligent) again.
"if every one were truly practicing Christians, we wouldn't need much in the way of law enforcement"
with god in the town, the gay rights movement marcheth in vain
with god in the town, the womens movement protesteth in vain.
with god in the school the children don't need science.
Christians, in the USA specifically, have manufactured this problem for their own ends, using children as pawns in the game; again.
QRP is the art of using small, low-power equipment to talk to the world. But do it for the love of the game, It might get you out of trouble, but there are no guarantees.
My thought exactly. To go along with this, India needs to make sure the target applications will work (eg. video playback, ebook or whatever reading) and probably will need to make special portals on the internet to get special content for it in ways that are sympathetic to the device and to the network. Maybe even deploy more powerful servers to schools to cache content at the edge. The device is hardly useless just because it can't run the latest microsoft bloatware. And if we want to raise hackers, I don't see why the hardware limitations of the machine should seriously impede the programming learning experience. Look at what Turing had to work with, I can't see his Mom bitching that young Alan never got to learn excel like "proper" computer users.
that the slashdot posting system is too slow, and allows too much time for consideration before posting a comment. We need an option to improve ability to fire off knee-jerk reactions unthinkingly. This whole episode is misrepresenting slashdot posters as being less reactionary and idiotic than twitter users.
From the bit about the UK, I tend to think that the scenario goes something like this... A paper in the UK drags up something form someone's past that is true, but hardly relevant and solely motivated in embarrassing someone, that someone could sue the paper for muck raking. So far as I can tell, this has been a double-edged sword, whereby some people that don't deserve to be attacked in the press get redress and some publications are forced to the brink of bankruptcy by villains that don't deserve to have their tracks covered. IMHO the rationale behind this law in the USA is probably not to protect individuals so much as to protect news outlets.
The same could be said of any commercial IDS creating false positives too. I like snort because it is pretty easy to create my own rules to look for traffic I am interested in and to raise an alarm. We use a Cisco IDS for the "checkbox filling" part as it fills a checkbox with fewer questions asked, but I use snort as well because the analytical support it has provided over the years has been great. It's also a great way to answer some of the after-the-fact questions that get raised, just run snort on an old packet capture file and tell it what to look for.
I'm sure they have at least some products that have embedded OSs in them that could be a start point. Then there's Linux and NetBSD etc. (though it would be entertaining to see M$ use them) or any number of other commercial kernels and even graphics subsystems. More than anything though, I'm sure they already have in house software development teams. It's not as if they are start-ups with no prior experience in software or UI development.
I think any of these companies could develop an OS for less than $1.2bn and I can't see it taking them that much time either. It's not like they would have to start from scratch.
TFS quite clearly uses kg as a unit of weight. It later uses kg as mass and reads that the sides had a mass of 18kg each. Which at 1cm thick would make them about 4 square feet each side and if they add up to 200kg then presumably the whole thing has 11 sides. I really think the whole article should be done over in more commonly used units such as slugs or parsecs.
Presumably the wall area was intended to be for a cube shape ? Ti has a density of about 4.5g/cc and if it weighs 200kg (in space !) and has a 1cm wall thickness then presumably it has a surface area of around 44,000cm^2 which would give a total wall area of around 48 square feet or around 8 square feet per wall (if it is a cube). But what I really need is a good idea of the physical size of the library of congress, so that I can expess it in its proper units of SUV trunks per library of congress football field.
In my opinion, the issue with birthers is a good illustration of the opposite of what the article says. This is not about gut feel vs facts or of a rush to judgment; the birthers have not "come to a conclusion" in the ordinary sense of the phrase. Their decision is not being made to establish the truth; it is a statement intended to promote FUD out of mischief. The "birthers" are disingenuous, not irrational and the reason facts are brushed aside is that they run counter to the intention of the promoters of the FUD.
I'm not making these assertions based on fact, these are just my gut feel reactions - I'd love to see the facts.
I know this is a technical site, but what's interesting to me is the way in which Toyota and BP are handling their respective loads of PR fall-out. Both are foreign companies with deep pockets that do large amounts of business in the USA and are great politician fodder when things go wrong. I have already started to see BP ads about "facing up to their responsibilities" and I can see Madison avenue finding ways to spin these disaster stories so that they actually work to a company's advantage in the long run. That's a truly scary thought.
Or maybe he did not want to reboot the switch and take down 24 servers with no real evidence that going through that pain would solve the issue (and not cause others). And besides, it hardly solves the issue, you know what cured it but not what caused it, for all you know it will happen again tomorrow because the cause is not identified. I should not be judging the process from afar but it pisses me off if "rote" rebooting stuff is considered a first resort and doubly pisses me off that anyone that challenges that approach would be dismissed. I think you will find that your foreign colleagues are quite capable of reasoning their way through problems without being handed the answers and, perhaps, taken aback by your unwillingness to do so.
I don't see why this is a troll. From what I can see from the example Monkeedude gives, the course covered the practice of everything and the theory of almost nothing. Unless you plan to stay at university forever maintaining your skillset the whole thing seems very shortsighted and, to my mind, lacks focus on advancing the art. I can see why the exercise might be challenging (more frustrating really) and why an employer might judge me for my skill in getting such a thing done, but not why a university would (or should).
Slashdot Mirror
A government (foreign or domestic) posted this just to get dontpaniconline.com slashdotted. It's a cover-up.
intelligent maintenance.
and when I looked at the jar upside down I read it as P! presumably for Pseudosience !

The TAC called, and unless you can set up a second Live 2010 conference and reproduce the problem they're going to close the ticket.
