This is similar to what we did at my alma mater. The only addition was that we graded our teammates at the end of the assignment. Usually on a scale of 1 (contributed little) to 5, this was factored in to a portion of the project grade and/or final grade. This was usually sufficient motivation to make everyone do their part and contribute. The professors who used this system let its participants mostly govern themselves. They even suggested working on core competencies, just like a real world situation - if someone better at the input parsing, let him/her do that while another teamate may focus on the mathematics involved.

A lot of people I have worked with or talked to about this type of service use NFS over a private or virtual private network. With srtict controls over who can see your NFS exports, it can be quite secure. Any number of tools can be used to automate the backup process, depending on how you wish to have files archived. For incremental and full periodic backups you can use free tools.
Also North American [land] phone systems are much cheaper, and in many cases more reliable than their counterparts in Europe. The cost of adding an additional mobile phone to a European home was similar to the cost of adding a land line, but with obvious benefits. Only recently have prices on cellular phone services come close land line prices in North America.
I agree 100%. The price premium for buying from a reputable dealer online these days is negligable. The most important thing to remember: if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. I learned the hard way too. Thankfully I used a zero-liability credit card for that purchase.
By completely rewriting it, you throw out that experience and start from zero.
I'd have to disagree with you on that one. They won't throw away the old experiences, in fact they will prove quite valuable. Most programmers encounter parts of a project that they would change if there were not the possibility of breaking things or hurting backwords compatability. When they start from the ground up, they can look at what worked well and what did not work well. Features that were added to later releases had to be designed to use the existing code base, which is often suboptimal. When they have a good idea of the types of features they will use (and even trends for adding features) they can make those features more optimal. It also makes it easier to understand the code in the short term. It is hard to understand code written years ago by yourself, and it is especially hard to understand code written by someone who left the company years ago. I'm sure bugs will be introduced, but it is much easier to prevent security problems if you start from the scratch (hint: check for buffer/stack overflows everywhere). When you rewrite, you draw heavily on previous experience, and get the chance to write things with more knowledge than you had when you wrote them a long time ago the first time around.
Honestly, in most metro areas Microsoft admins get paid more or similar amounts as the Unix admins. Sure, the Microsoft admins need less knowledge to get by. But a HUGE number of businesses have Windows web servers because all of their workstations are using Windows. The demand drives up the price, which is employee compensation in this case. Why else would there be so many MCSE courses advertised at $1,500+?
Interesting... I've participated in several of their surveys and focus groups, and I always find that their surveys are some of the best written out there. Unlike USA Today polls, there were no questions designed to steer you in a certain direction and all of the questions were well designed. No survey or analysis is going to be perfect, but theirs always seem to be better than most.
It isn't just non-user servicable - almost every power supply I've worked with has Warranty Void stickers preventing you from opening it. Once it's out of warranty it is fair game, but often its obsolete by then.
I'm curious, what method of duplication do you use to keep a duplicate of all tables ready as a backup? It is very useful to have backups that can easily serve as drop in replacements.
Ack! I forgot about that. I had a friend in college make a box out of one of those drive bays, but he was an EE major, so I should have known there was some customization.
The 386SX has a 16bit external data bus requiring two clock cycles to read a 32bit word, while the 386DX read the full 32bit bus in one clock cycle. The 386SX came out after what became known as the DX, as a lower cost model. Also, the 386SX only had a 24bit address bus while the 386DX had a 32bit address bus.
There are lots of external drive boxes that have low wattage power supplies (I've seen 30W-80W for single bay, 70W-125W for dual bay). You'd have to modify the connectors to power an AT motherboard, but I've seen it done. Trying to power an ATX motherboard with one of this is a waste of time. Some of these have fans, some do not. But the nice thing is you can find them at swap meets and surplus/bankrupcy auctions.
The problem is, there will always be misdirected marketing as long as our interests are inferred rather than taken directly from us. Sure, some methods will produce better results. But if I get up from my desk, I push my keyboard tray in, and the mouse almost always moves. So they will think that because the pointer stops on a pantyhose ad for several minutes that I am suddenly very interested in pantyhose. OK, so I've never seen pantyhose ads on the net, but you get the point...
The don't read the pages really, but the will scroll down looking at the pictures much like they would when they're reading text. The difference is it would appear that they might be re-reading the same area several times. I think it could be very interesting to see where the mouse travels on a porn site...
Crack those old power supplies open and sometimes there is a wealth of fun, though sometimes oddly shaped, heatsinks. They can be handy to the amateur electical engineer, overclocker, etc. Be warned though, those big capacitors can hold a charge much longer than you might expect, so keep the thing grounded and be careful.
Actually, it goes beyond the UltraSPARC. It has been around in Suns since the Sun-4's. I'm not sure that it was in the original boot monitor for the Sun-4 chips, but Sun-4c and later all included a forth interpretor. And as others have mentioned, many PPC computers have a forth interpretor, as part of the OpenFirmware standard.
After all, whats the point of having an overclocked, Linux powered mp3 player in your ride if it's a stock Dodge Neon or Toyota Corolla that has so much potential under the hood that can be "overclocked" itself?:)
I can think of dozens of other cars I'd rather "overclock", even considering price performance issues.
The funniest I ever saw was a guy who put a Ford 5.0L V8 (mustang engine) into a mid-90's Mazda Miata. He made a custom fiberglass hood to make it fit (just a slighly bigger bulge in the middle). Then he realized it had more room in the engine compartment, and added a supercharger. 0-Death in 4.5 seconds.
Exactly what I was thinking. He needs to post this anonymously in as many places as possible ("possible" meaning places that will protect your identity).
I think it is a good thing Sklyarov was arrested. I mean, it would suck to be arrested, no doubt. But it was going to happen eventually, sooner than later. A case like this is exactly what we need to have this law rewritten in a way that makes more sense.

I agree. The one bit of optimism I have is that multicasting IP will be more common on broadband providers. That would really be necessary for cable providers where their outside bandwidth for the whole area can be as little as a T1 today. For one user to be able to uset streaming video the total bandwidth for the area would have be above 20Mbps (DS3/T3 maybe?), and without mbone every additional streaming user would add 20Mbps to that.
I knew I should have been a professional chess player. The fame. The glory. The money. None of those disabling injuries I get in professional football. Sure, the cheerleaders aren't as hot, but major media coverage should help me get women anyway.
The Operating System market is NOT Cuba and Linus/RMS is NOT Fidel Castro.
So by this analogy, what are all of the other countries? Embedded operating systems? Batch job processors? And why are so many people smuggling users of operating systems by small boat to these other countries? And does this make Linus analogous Elian?
