Here is an exam http://www.respaper.com/icse/410/4402-pdf.html.It is a combination of questions with 3 points and questions with 4.
Also there is no half points in the exam, if you look at the chart attached to the slashdot article, no one got a half point.
Not necessarily. The questions do not all have 1 point for correct answer. The exam is not multiple choice, it is written. It is difficult for anybody to write answers to a 100 questions in an exam (It is 2 -2.5 hours http://www.cisce.org/notice_doc/55Time-Table-ICSE-2013-Examination.pdf) . So there is mostly only about 20 questions in the exam. This means that there are only a limited number of possible scores you can get in the exam. It is a bit like summing up tennis scores - you will only get multiples of 5 for totals because the scores are all 0,15,30 and 40.
If you are still not convinced, generate random integers from 1-20 in excel.Multiply them by 5 and plot it. You will notice that you have a distribution from 0 - 100, but it is very jagged.
Then there is the fact that the same examiner reads the entire paper, rather than this being split up question-wise. By the time an examiner gets to the end of a paper, the examiner is biased towards thinking the student is good or bad ( Dan Ariely explains it is detail http://danariely.com/tag/the-honest-truth-about-dishonesty/) , so it biases all his scoring for later questions. They are also likely to round up some scores which are border line passes.
I think he plans to convert it to a services company, so at least he is taking his own medicine. He is giving money to shareholders by buying the shares back.
It sounds a bit like he had a neighbor's friend die and he suggested "Bury her already", and now it is his turn and he is digging a hole in the ground. Sucks to be him, but I don't see anything wrong with what he is doing.
Indeed. I was trying to say that Apple has all the Niche stuff. Android has generic stuff (100 versions of angry birds). That said, google maps is exceptionally good.
My experience is the opposite, iOS has high quality niche stuff while android has none.
There are a lot of aviation apps for iOS - iPad specifically - stuff meant to be used by a General Aviation Pilot who has old vacuum gauges in his little Cessna, but wants a GPS map and flight planner. For Android similar apps are limited or when available are designed for the phone.
It has gotten so common that FAA recently approved an iPad as a certified cockpit accessory for commercial airline pilots - They don't need an iPad to look up a map, but they can use it to look up landing charts, checklists and other paperwork that they need to look up. For them it is a couple of less binders they need to carry around.
Like wise how come a cart that is not moving at all, could not be pushed to create some apparent wind, then propel itself using that?
The difference between the case when you push the cart and sailing downwind is this.In the case when you push the cart, imagine yourselves as an external observer. There is no wind in front of the cart (any wind the fan feels is apparent) but behind the cart there is wind in the same direction of the cart. The cart caused the wind to move in the same direction of the cart. This is a loss of energy from the cart to wind. So the cart will slow down. If you were in the cart, you would think that wind is moving towards you and that wind behind you slowed down because you absorbed energy; but that is not true. You lost energy.
In the case of downwind travel, you slowed down wind, but actually absorbed energy because there was energy in the wind to be absorbed. In the previous case if the propellor rotates clockwise, in the second case it would rotate anti-clockwise. Behind the propellor the real wind would be faster and in front the wind slower (to an external observer), this is exact opposite of the first case.
Using Flightradar or Flightaware and enabling airplane trails would show the same thing and it would then update in real time too.
And of course you could get a $20 Realtek USB DVB plug in and use Gnuradio and a 1090 band receiver program (dump1090 or others) to plot one centered around yourselves.
Only Indians (Asian Indians) and probably Norvegians and europeans for a short while have ever used a South being up map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversed_map). Europe belongs in the center, because that is where GMT is centered. This way all the points on the map are at the same day.If you center the map on USA, atleast two points on the map will be on different days.
There are 4 possible states
1) Alive
2) Dead
3) Neither Alive nor Dead (Unborn is a possibility)
4) Both Alive and Dead (Zombie?)
The summary asks if Fedora is in one of the 3 states. You say that Netcraft cannot confirm state 4.
So the question in the Summary can actually be answered by Netcraft because the question assumes axiomatically or confirms that State 3 is false or impossible.
Related question -What if Ballmer asks "Will Fedora be alive next year under the condition that I will kill it if you say it will be alive?".
Livery cars are not really private cars- at least they are required to have commercial insurance and license - but yes they are Medallion less and are taxis. They are more like "Call Taxi" of some other countries. Livery Cabs cannot be painted Yellow (so that no one confuses them for taxis) and cannot pick people up from Streets - only by prior appointment/call.
Confusingly enough New Yorkers and most East Coasters also refer to Livery Cabs, Shared Vans and Limousines as "Limo".Even the locals can only tell these usages apart by context.
It is not much different in US. The difference,at least in NY , is that
1) You need a medallion to drive a Yellow Cab - this fixes the number of Cabs that are allowed in the city. The medallion often costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or recently close to a million dollars.
2) Automated taxi hailing systems were banned until recently (or atleast they were being sued even if Mayor Bloomberg was pro-Cab-Hailing-Apps)
3) Taxi despatch was a completely different operation (I think it was semi-public or completely run by the city). They also control what kind of taxis were allowed (Crown victorias now, Nissan Vans in future). In most other non manhattan US cities, Taxi despatch is privately run by cab companies. The rules for what cabs are allowed is also easier in most other cities (usually cars
4) Depending on the city, Livery cabs are also allowed. These cabs cannot pick up traffic on the streets, but can operate a call center to allow customers to call for service.
5) Uber is an app that tries to create an automated livery service for major US cities.
You can go to Straight Talk (Which is on AT&T network if that is important to you) and get Voice+Data at about $50. Assuming the cost of the phone is $600 every two years, this works out to $25 a month over two years. So a total of $75 a month.$3 a month cheaper and you don't have to add money if you are not using the phone at any point. .
And when you are done with your phone after two years, you can most likely sell it one ebay for $200 or so (the phone is always unlocked).
And while in high school he did set off a rocket and have cops come after him accusing him of starting a forest fire. In his case, his teachers stood by him and proved that he did not cause the fire.
So you can understand why he'd be supportive of the girl.
Actually this is exactly how a drain cleaner works. It is mostly just Sodium Hydoxide (Lye) and Aluminum powder. Sodium Hydroxide is dual purpose, firstly,it forms soap on contact with fats and secondly it reacts with Aluminum to produce heat. There is some Sodium Nitrate or equivalent to absorb Hydrogen, but otherwise the whole thing is mostly Lye.
What the kids were / are doing is accelerating the process by throwing in an Aluminum foil. There are no poisonous gases and there is no real "explosion" - if it were, you wouldn't pour it down the drain.
Any explosion is a function of pressure generated by the gases and absolute worst case, the bottle would spray through a leak and throw lye over your face. But in an Open area and with small amount of ingredients, it is probably safer than lighting a match or throwing mentos in a bottle of soda.
A phonebook if it includes area codes would have a repeating pattern. Similarly, since numbers do not usually have multiple leading zeros, multiple 1s etc. that is an additional source of non-randomness.
The resulting message wouldn't be truly random. So statistical attacks would decrypt such a message without ever needing this made-up one time pad.
If the OTPs are in fact uncopyable, the authors don't need a perfectly secure channel. Alice sends plates to Bob. Eve intercepts the crate, and then what?
Eve intercepts the crate and places a one time pad that she made (different from original) and sends the crate on. When Alice later sends the message, Eve reads it, re-encrypts it using the code Bob is expecting and forwards that on. Neither Alice nor Bob detects anything odd, while Eve knows the message before Bob.
This spy seems to have all the marks of an made-up-Amateur or a set-up. The guy is wearing a wig, has a hat over it (not dyed hair) even when he is on a diplomatic passport and is openly approaching Russians. Then the Russians have a camera crew and policemen waiting in the street to arrest him and oddly enough he is found to be carrying money, maps and more wigs in his bag. This seems like Americans set-up a honeypot and the Russians jumped on it. Probably the guy had been told already that this is his last assignment in Russia.
Either that, or the CIA decided to have some fun with a Rookie and set him up with a couple of wigs and told him to go on a "Top Secret Assignment" and the poor slob got caught.
If you go a little bit south of Kenya, they already eat insects (worms actually, but it is butterfly larva). If you see some of the cricket matches in South Africa, you can see them eating this out of tins.
I think the issue here is that the reporters knew not just that the user was not logged in currently, but that the user had not logged on for a while. Additionally, using of functions is really borderline of insider information. I bet if Bloomberg reporters knew that a certain oil industry banker at Goldman Sachs was looking up Nigerian and Indonesian exchange rates, it would be easy enough to guess that this banker is either trying to buy or sell an oil company with operations in Indonesia and Nigeria. If you know if this was a probable buy, you buy the stock ahead of Goldman's clients and Step 3) Profit!!.
I scanned through the order looking for the president of the USA to recommend "Git" as the tool of choice. Obama completely dodged that one and did not mention it in his release. Dang!
