The tax credit pointed out above for college community service is a good idea.
It's not mandatory, and we would essentially be getting paid in the form of lower taxes for our work.
I'm a college student and I know every little bit helps. Especially after a summer internship at Intel puts me into a higher tax bracket even though I'm still broke.
Keep in mind you need questions that anyone with a 3rd-grade education could read and solve, which limits you to simple grammar, small words, concrete ideas, and no math harder than addition, subtraction, and inequality.
Personally, I'd rather not have stupid people signing up on my site.
That is a great quote, especially when taken out of context.
Unfortunately, the story behind it revolves around Descartes' logic leading up to... the existence of a benevolent God. Although he was a brilliant philosopher, I'm guessing he didn't want to be "prosecuted" if his conclusion wasn't something the church approved of.
My best in-game music experience that had a significant emotional impact was from Resident Evil 2, which changed the intensity of the music based on what was happening. Things pop out and the music gets really intense... just like a good suspense flick. That is, to me, one of the best examples of how game music can be interactive.
Consider WoW on the other hand... the only thing that happens to the music is a track change when you enter different zones. After 100 hours, you want to tear your ears off.
3.0rc1 (beta) is already available and has been for some time now.
The advantage of 2.6 is not as much its backward-compatibility but its ability to tell you exactly what needs to change (via runtime warnings) for 3.0 without actually breaking your code. I've been using both for months now, so this article isn't exactly hot news.
What about projected bandwidth capability? It seems that fiber optics are finally making it down the last mile.
Who knows what we'll use to fill those fat pipes in the next 20 years... will the caps still be 250GB? (cue the double-triple-layer Blu-ray quality pr0n jokes).
I personally don't want to see companies like Comca$t stifling progress by setting a standard of saying "we know how much data you need."
Don't "woosh" people for your own failure. That's the part that bothers me.
Don't mistake your failure to understand, by lack of knowledge or anything else, as a failure to communicate on my part. Over-reacting isn't very useful either.
And now you know what the fuck WOL means, so you can stop whining.
WoW, chill out man. I was just suggesting that you learn2, or maybe "l2", use Wake-On-LAN to remote into your systems.
It's commonly used on IRC and in MMORPG's to suggest there's something that may be obvious to others, but not yourself, that you should try in order to make your life easier.
All you had to do the get the general meaning of my "random string of characters" via Google is to understand that I'm not referring to the Word Of Life Fellowship and direct your attention to the nearest Wikipedia entry that makes sense in the context of your comment I responded to.
I apologize if none of this makes sense to anyone, since I apparently cannot communicate well enough to achieve the communication-worthiness of a piece of feces.
No problem here...

At least they finally canceled that show. If only they had given Farscape or Battlestar Galactica the same financial resources per quality line of dialogue...
No such luck... Stargate Atlantis (source of TFQ) is still very much on the air. And guessing from the success of SG-1, it will be for at LEAST 7 more years, so you might as well give up now.
AND you can watch all the new Stargate mini-movies if that isn't enough. Then you can go get yourself a lifelike Samantha Carter blow-up doll.
I guess if she blows stuff up it's only fair that she gets blown up too!
Another type of gag order was for a while used by courts to restrict the press from reporting certain facts regarding a trial. This gag order became more common after the Supreme Court's 1966 decision in Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333, 86 S. Ct. 1507, 16 L. Ed. 2d 600, in which it reversed a criminal conviction on the grounds that Pretrial Publicity had unfairly prejudiced the jury against the defendant and denied him his Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial. However, in a 1976 decision, Nebraska Press Ass'n v. Stuart, 427 U.S. 539, 96 S. Ct. 2791, 49 L. Ed. 2d 683, the Court held that pretrial gag orders on the press are unconstitutional. It ruled that such orders represent an unconstitutional Prior Restraint and violate the First Amendment, which guarantees the Freedom of the Press. [legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Now, what the NSA will do is issue a gag order as a "matter of national security". They can and will get away with it. Also, a gag order is very different when it is issued to contractors or employees.
That is enough addresses to fill two thousand Olympic sized swimming pools!
I think you've mistakenly assigned spatial properties to these addresses - the conversation was comparing quantities. While these addresses are indeed "big", they are only as spatially large as your lame-ass jokes are funny. See? I didn't have to assign spatial properties to your "funny-ness", but I still managed to make the point that your jokes aren't funny.
Your diary is actually contributing to the problem of having to ask people where you had lunch the day before. You've eliminated the need for your short term memory because it's all written down.
I disagree with that statement. Writing something down helps it sink in; even one of the How-Tos you linked specifically said:
I've been using 3G in one of the pilot cities since it rolled out many years ago and the problem has always been limited coverage. Even now that the infrastructure is more mature. Going from 3G to non-3G networks isn't a smooth transition, so you might have a very weak signal where there is potential to have a better one.
Go buy a European phone that only works on our 1900MHz frequency and you'll see how limited certain types of coverage can be.

I've just modded up my appreciation for Bill Cosby. Thanks for that, and I agree we need to be hearing more like it.
I could be up to Nostradamus-level prognastication.
I assume by prog-nasti-cation that you mean you will have 100% accuracy in predicting your lack of nasti-ness? ;-)
Well, to be fair, the word "data" is technically plural... but it's so much easier to blame an evil robot.

Mount partitions with noatime, or relatime if you are using one of the very rare programs that use atime (mutt is the only one I know of);
Is nodiratime a valid flag for most filesystems as well? I recall seeing it at one point...

Perhaps those islands will be connected by a series of tubes.
Sounds like they've got the software licked. Now if they would only make some decent hardware, people might start to believe the whole "cool" thing.
Not true; I saw the finish and immediately after the showed the overhead high-speed camera view. Truly an amazing sight!

Actually you'd have trouble finding a 1900MHz phone in Europe... maybe go for 1800 instead ;)

Sure, the connector is blind accessible, but the ports are never in any specific orientation.
Dell, I've always hated you for your angled impossible-to-see ass-backwards USB ports!
