Fox news is fun if you use it spot and score fallacies. Some of the high scoring items are: Appeal to probability Argument from fallacy Fallacy of necessity
Sometimes it just mind goggling when a single arguments get multiple fallacies going.
Many eyes and still Ken Thompson put a backdoor into the C compiler. You need to know what your looking for if your going to see it. Its not like there is a line in the code that says "HEY - I am a backdoor"
Did some racing at the local level where I live and can attest to the physical demands needed to race well. I had to do a lot of running and weight lifting to build up my endurance and strength to race well. There are time I came off the race track after a 45 minute race so spent that my arms and upper body would have exhaustion tremors, unable to even operate the release to get out of the seat.
I wounder how they would class the kids who learned to drive by racing Karts. Biggest problem with them though is when they get a real drivers license that they are not allowed to nerf cars on the freeways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Cht811yNY
If you think karts as in things with the lawn mower engine that was driven around your home - here is a upper-level kart race clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2o--m0wsu0
I noticed the problem with that little "show" - the back side has some things that are being kept hidden. Whats on the back side? Variable speed electric motors that are being used to spin those two shafts.
Social engineering. My last three jobs were obtained through knowing someone on the inside that help me in the door. Using only your resume will result in it landing on a pile along with the 300 others.
Just write good clean code that works properly first. The only time you optimize is after it has been profiled to see if there are troublesome spots. The way CPUs run and how compilers are designed, there is very little need to do optimization. Unless you have taken some serious courses of how the current CPU’s work, you efforts will mostly result in bad code that gains you nothing in respect in speed. Your time is better spent on writing CORRECT code.
The compilers are very intelligent in proper loop unrolling, rearranging branches, and moving instruction code around to keep the CPU pipeline full. They will also look for unnecessary/redundant instruction within a loop and move them to a better spot.
One of the courses I took was programming for parallelism. For extra credit, the instructor assigned a 27K x 27K matrix multiply; the person with the best time got a few extra points. A lot of the class worked hard in trying to optimize their code to get better times, I got the best time by playing with the compiler flags.
If you are going to be a business, I think your going to need a better business plan first.
It almost feels like you have this great idea but have not sat down and wrote down exactly what you are going to do and how are you going to get there. Talk to the small business administration, they have people there that you should talk to first.
You have selected the hardware before finding the software that will accomplish the task.
Pulled out my stat's book and did some rough calculations in estimating Proportion. Used a population size of 58,000,000 Their point estimate of 0.116 Z(0.025) = 1.96 for a 95% confidence level (2 SD)
With a sample size of 1176, I get a error of plus/minus 1,102,000. There would need to a sample size of 10,000 to get the error of plus/minus 570,000.
Airplanes are not cars. A airplane has a tubular structure that can control the flexing of the fuselage, there is room for struts and spars to carry the load. A airplane does not have wheels that can lift off the road during a turn if the weight shifts wrong.
A convertible is about worst type of vehicle to try and make a race car out of. If you were to look at the side view of a convertible with the top off and the doors open, you will see front half and the back half connected together with a flat surface, the floor pan. Flexing and twisting of the frame through the floor pan alone would be difficult, the flexing would cause the weigh to shift causing bad loading on the wheels.
Been various ways brought out so i will add my comment also.
If you are storing the files encrypted, that means you do not want others to be able to know the content; if its for some other reason you better rethink what you are doing.
In being able to search the information means that the method used has the keys to be able to open up the file and pull out information (decryption). If only you have the keys, then only you can open up the files which means a third party will not be able to (Google).
Some have put out the idea of a index that is stored along with the secured file - BAD idea! If you have any information about the contents of a encrypted file, you have just given a third party information on how to possibly get through the encryption, you have weakened the security.
I have taken enough security courses to understand that unless you get the proper education in security, you will absolutely do the wrong thing when it comes to security. In fact in trying to secure it, may result in it becoming more vulnerable.
About to turn 54 here soon and I just got my CS degree. It would be best to get a degree earlier in life but you should get one no matter how old you are. I have always performed well in my jobs and seem to be able rise within the companies I worked in but the people with the degree always had the edge.
Going to school is a great when you are older, the other younger students do not know what to make of you. I think I helped a few of them take school a bit more serious than they would have otherwise. I was able to help a few on how to study, its surprising that so few have learned how to study.
Came out of school with a 3.9, would have been better but I got into arguments with the instructors in the philosophy (liberal arts requirements) classes.
So anyway, I am now a NCG with over 20 years experience. Makes for a great resume.
There are issues using them when handling sensitive data such as personal records. The hard drive in these printers do not always clear out the information used to make the previous printouts, allowing someone to later to recall and make reprints.
My wife works in a HR position and will not use these work center type of printer because she does not have a usable means to clear out the disk after make printouts of personal data. There was a push for the office users to use this as there default network printer in order to reduce the number of personal printers that was in the office. She asked if there was a method to make sure the information was erased after making a printout. She was assured that it would be taken care of and not to worry about it, to which she replied, that she would make sure to print out their personal files out on the printer if it seemed to be needing service.
The printer that she now uses is one that does not have any data retention capabilities like a hard drive, it also sits at her desk and not in the common area.
I pulled the plug on my TV about 2 years ago. Not bragging about it, I just got upset about a $40 a month fee, biased news, empty programming, endless reruns, series based on previous series that were based on...., series based on commercials, 20+ minutes of commercials in an hour show.
I took about 6 months to get use to being without the TV. I am busy enough with my normal life now that I would not want to lose the hours I use to spend watching it. It's strange now when I am at a friend's house while their TV is on, I get mesmerized / hypnotize by it, all intelligent thought is removed.
A lot of people find it enjoyable; great for them, I found it to be an addiction.
During the construction, place a outlet box in each wall and run a conduit to you crawl space.
Do not try and chain a series of boxes through one conduit. It can rub the insulation off the cables when they are pulled over each other. The total number of bends when added together in a conduit should be under 360 degrees or you will have problems pulling through them. If you like to play around with your house wiring, moving things around, go with 3/4 inch if possible; two cat-5 and a coax do fill things up.
Check with your local building permits before you do anything. Different areas have rules what is allowed to be installed by the homeowner and what comes under licensed contractor. Installation of conduit will cause a building inspector into looking at things a bit more closely than usual. When it comes to building inspectors, do not at anytime argue, just ask very in a nice way on what you need to do. Get on the wrong side of one and you will get a stop work and a lot of frustrations in trying to reschedule.
Use copper over the fiber to connect things up. Most of the consumer grade network equipment does not have fiber capabilities. Look at the pricing between a fiber NIC and a copper. Fiber is used mostly to handle distance problems and backbone infrastructure. Gigabit Ethernet over copper and Gigabit Ethernet over fiber will get you the same speed, you will just spend more money for the fiber. Fiber optics have the additional problems of termination, how are you going to get the ends on it?
I knew a few friends in the military that wished they were around when there kid was conceived. Did not feel to sorry for them though, a few kids were conceived while they were around and the husbands of those wifes were someplace else.
You can not design something without the average user being part of the process.
Where I use to work the software development people sometimes were not engaged in what was happening on a manufacturing side. They "developers" thought they new how to do the manufacturing technician job but it was of those, "I think I understand what I thought you said".
They would start a job trying to get a specification together and so the people they would talk to were the managers of the manufacturing technician. Well guess what - they did not really know the job ether and what was ended up being developed would drive the technician up the wall with how things in there words was "screwed up".
What happened on latest projects was before getting to far into the project spec, they also included the technician in the interviews. Then once a somewhat rough spec was put together and some idea of the direction it was going. The next step was to videotape the technician doing the job as it was currently being down. One month was spent on just taping various people doing various aspects of the job. Each taping session went through a post-mortem review with all parties involved, the spec writer, the software developers, the managers, the technician, and anyone else they could drag into the meeting. The tape would be gone through and question like "Why did you do that? That's not written down anywhere" would be said every five minutes. Even the managers were asking what was going on.
What was brought out in all of this is that unless you are actually doing the day-to-day job in manufacturing, you do not understand the process no matter how many design meetings you have with them. This became the standard method on following projects.
with brief instances of being scared shitless wondering if you are going to feel it. Walking down to the mess after shaking so bad you are unable to hold a cup. A-ganger asking you "what's up?" and I reply "Nothing much, same old stuff."

If you were management material, you would have thought this out for yourself.
Your indecisiveness has shown through. You do not plan ahead.
