The students *were* given the theory. ( What theory are we taking about here, anyway? Big Bang? Evolution? We were taught all of that). We weren't told a larger crackpot theory. We were just given some questions that seemed not to make sense, like who do we know that the source of radioative dating material was all undecayed at the time of formation.
Your teacher did not give you all of the any of those theories you mentioned (Big Bang, Evolution). It would have taken years of additional knowledge to fully understand either of those theories. Therefore, you got a tiny subset of the theory (most likely an English summary of the theory). So, you were never given the knowledge that would be required to answer any of the questions your teacher asked. Therefore, the only logical answer to those questions would be "I don't know, let us research the theories and fully understand them before giving you an answer", not "these theories might be flawed."
Sorry but I found this the hard way. I am a non-white (asian) geek and already have 2 failed relationships. Most Asian girls want white man, let alone white girls.
Ok, so how old are you? Two failed relationships, and you're ready to throw in the towel? And what are you considering a "failed relationship"? One that doesn't end in marriage? I have had a fair number of relationships, but would not consider any of them failures. I had one long (9 year) marriage that did end in divorce, but we became very good friends afterwards (until she died a year and a half ago).
This pathetic whining about geeks not getting girls is getting on my nerves. Just be yourself around women. Be a gentleman, TALK to them, LISTEN to them. It is not hard being friends or dating women. Hell, most of my friends are women. I actually get along with women better than I do with men.
From the study: "Due to the lack of nonverbal cues, conversations on cellular telephones demand more cognitive resources than conversations with passengers," the study notes.
But, to get non-verbal clues from a passenger (other than touch and smell), the driver must turn his head away from the road and look at the passenger. Oh, yea, that's safe.
Even programs that contain keyboard loggers have their uses. Most automated software testing tools use keyboard logging as part of the testing process. Viruses have their uses, as well. On a limited network, I have heard of admins using viruses that are "mutated" so they install patches without any user intervention.
When my father and I took a trip around the west coast last year, before the trip he bought 10 one gig cards to take with us. There's absolutely no reason not to have enough cards before you start on the trip.
I don't believe firearms are inherently bad, but I would be criminally negligent to allow a child access to one.
BULLSHIT! When I was about 10 or so, my father taught me how to respect guns and use them safely. After being taught to use guns properly, I routinely visited a friend (my age) who lived on a farm. He and I (with no adult supervision) would go hunting on his farm. Because you have decided not to teach your children in the proper care and handling of weapons, does not mean that any adult who gives a child a weapon is criminally negligent.
Shit, all of your posts are just pointing out that you are depending on everyone else to raise your kid and not yourself.
You reboot, Windows "fixes" the file(s) that got corrupted during the crash. Bam, your profile is reset, including your bookmarks. I know the profile is reset because all the settings are changed back to default.
I've had this happen to my roommate's computer. One day she rebooted, and her entire profile and all of her files were missing. It was an easy fix, though. Windows just gave her a new home directory, all of her files were still there in her original home directory. It was just a trival procedure to change her new home directory to the old one.
Domain registration creates a public pointer to the domain. But trying "secret.foo.com" is trespass.
If the domain secret.foo.com resolves to a valid IP address, typing http://secret.foo.com would still be as valid as typing http://www.foo.com . If the secret.foo.com is supposed to be a secret web server, then it should not be publically accessible. Just because you named the web server "secret" doesn't make it so.
Another analogy that I like: the web is like a collection of bulletin boards. Each domain has a bulletin board, and the URL links allow one to read the information on the bulletin board in a hopefully organized and meaningful manner.
In this analogy, what Intentia International has done is to tack up their financials behind many other papers. Now, they are trying to sue someone (Reuters) for looking behind the other papers, and finding the information.
... The idea of a command mode and a separate input mode is difficult to understand and to learn.
It is not so difficult to understand. The first word processors (WordStar, and any word processor derived from it), had separate command and input modes. These word processors were extremely powerful for the time.
Or are we already there, and I just don't pay attention?
No, just like a good slashdotter, you don't read the articles. From the Kodak article:
Pixels are the tiny colored dots that make up a digital image. By comparison, a frame of high-quality 35mm film contains an estimated 12 million to 18 million pixels.
Do you think it is "stealing" if I go and photocopy a book and start distributing it to everyone I know?
You certainly have an interesting notion of what stealing is. What you are talking about is called copyright infringement not stealing. Copyright infrigement is a civil matter, stealing is criminal. Two totally different concepts.
Wrong. First of all, you can't just "sample" it into another work for free (ask rap artists if they have to ask permission and pay royalties to the people they sample from). Second of all, your fair use rights don't kick in unless you purchase something.
Actually, you can sample any copyrighted work that you want without breaking the law. It's called "fair use.". In fact, I'm sampling your copyrighted work right now.:P
If there is ONE person that has downloaded a song without paying for it, the industry has been damaged by EXACTLY that one song. QED.
Not necessarily. You have to look at other factors as well:
If that ONE person who downloaded the song already owns the record, and wants to save himself the time and energy to encode the file to mp3, then there has been no crime commited.
If that ONE person downloaded the song to sample it in another work, then no crime has been committed because of fair use.
If that ONE person downloaded the song to determine whether or not he liked the song and that song was deleted afterward, then, ethically, I see no problem with this sort of behavior. Legally, I have no idea.
If that ONE person downloaded the song, and decides to keep the song even though he does not own the record, how is this different from taping songs off the radio? The quality of a good radio tape is not much lower than the quality of mp3's.
I could go on and on, but as you can see, this issue is far from black and white.
I agree completely. I have a 2002 TDI Bug, and I love it. Having been a huge commuter in the Denver area (140 miles a day), I was averaging about 55+ mpg with mostly highway driving (averaging 70+ mph). Now that I am not commuting as much, the mpg has decreased (to 50 mpg).
Living in Denver, we had a few extremely cold days this past winter. I never once had a problem starting the car.
I would definitely recommend VW TDI's to anyone who needs the advantages of a gasoline car, but wants the extended gas millege as well (700+ miles per tank).
Good lord, this again. Let me explain it to you simply; the radiation is more dangerous from reactor waste because it is CONCENTRATED. What's so hard to understand? Would you rather sleep in a room with say a bucket of transuranic waste or with the equivalent mass of coal particles? Hmm?
The concentrated reactor waste is only harmful if not stored properly, and only then to a localized population. The radiation from coal plants is a threat to the entire world.
I was onboard a Nuke sub for a while, and we had many radiation alarms onboard caused by coal plants in the area. We never had one alarm caused by the nuclear reactor.
This ignorant garbage that you are spouting has no basis in reality. Please go to a library and educate yourself.
In most states here employees don't work under a contract.
So that means, anyone who gets a better offer by a competitor can leave any day he wants, probably in the middle of a project, leaving a complete mess behind (undocumented halfdone work, customers not knowing who to address, vacant key positions, whatever)?
Actually, in many States, yes.. that can and does happen. I have walked into two jobs that hired me on the spot because the last system admin walked out on a project. In another situation, I was working for Sprint PCS, and our managers mandated 60 hour weeks for everyone. One of my co-workers said fuck it and left for a break on the graveyard shift and never came back to work. He called the next morning and said he quit.

Plus, if your manager asks you what you are doing, and you answer, "Writing tests" then he's going to love you.
Not any of the managers that I've been around. The only thing they wanted to know was if you were done yet.
- then if he doesn't agree these are good things then it's definitely time to find a new job.
That is exactly what I did.
Interesting ... In June of last year, my box got cracked using the exact same exploit, even down to the port 9704.
The machine that got cracked had nothing on it, it was just a test machine I was setting up.
When it was cracked, I thought the exploit looked pretty neat until I saw the same exploit over and over again. Damn script kiddie
