Can someone tell me what Google Wave is? The video on the page is over an hour long which is a lot to sit through to just to find out what this slashdot article is about.
Find pieces of your code that show smart solutions to individual problems. Things that aren't a complete app, but illustrate your ability to find smart ways to deal with tricky situations. Provide a general context, just enough to understand the problem you were trying to solve.
The way you manage to explain and document the situation and the methodology you used to solve it is almost as helpful as the code itself - they both go to illustrate your ability to confront, understand, and deal with development issues.
I always preferred Robotica over BattleBots - the former had interesting courses and whatnot that made things less monotonous than BattleBot's "WWE"-style straight up fight.
Yep. In essence, the main drawback to COTS parts is the need to verify whether they'll still function within the parameters of the environment to which they're being sent. Highly temperature-sensitive circuits, for instance, would not be a good COTS part to use in a spacecraft.
I found it more amusing that the text of the bill mentioned previous submissions for trisection of the angle and whatnot as having been accepted by a publication. That "American Mathematics Monthly" or whatnot is who really has egg on its face.
Better would be to simply allow the computer to supply enough power to activate a circuit to turn the monitor on when it wishes to be on - after all, the monitor is essentially yet another peripheral to a computer system. Fujitsu has basically indirectly allowed this by taking the small power of a VGA signal and amplifying it via capacitors, but why not just have the computer provide the full power needed in the first place?
Except they're not "running the monitor that long", because the monitor isn't running. It's like saying that a battery that sits in bin for a year draws as much power as a 110V->1.5V transformer that's been plugged in and turned on for a year: obviously, the transformer consumes much more power because it's continually drawing power and wasting it all off to heat energy if there's no other load on the system.
Not sure why you'd have ads, there are none on the site for me (and that's after temporarily disabling adblock, even if it didn't show any blocked items).
Articles that actually contribute to common knowledge, and might be read more than once by someone besides the author, rather than the typical "show you know how to assemble ideas in a paper that I will then proceed to return to you so you can deposit it in the recycling bin?
Thumbs up.
...where we have COMPETITIVE markets, not fixed ones.
Seriously - music companies seem to think that they can just demand that no one compete with them, and get away with it.
If their costs for media production are so high that they can't make a profit at the same rates Apple can, perhaps it is they who need to look at their production costs. Obviously, if Apple weren't making a profit out of the iTunes Store it wouldn't continue to exist.
The networks and labels need to realize that they have to adapt to the market, because the market isn't something to which they can say "jump" and have it ask "how high?"

Obviously, it's Javascript implemented in Java.

Since it's not linked in the op, the site in question is http://www.gisdwatch.com/
Apparently, the title was just based off the fact that the age range must have been in hexadecimal. Right? Yeah...

Why do I see the potential justification of this being similar to Amazon's justification of patenting 1-click ordering?
