10% of his time you dealing with security issues? He will spend all of his time on security issues because everyone knows the biggest threat to America are the pirates of multimedia with their Limewire and BitTorrent. All of the people attempting to hack into the DoD, Bank of America and so forth come in a distant second so he will just ignore them.
I think it is the best in games where the gore is over the top and people are still alive and shooting away. Much like in Gears of War 1 and 2. I'm looking at the bright side of this article where it isn't blaming the gore for child violence.
Being a recent Penn State grad, I am somewhat familiar with the application. One thing they didn't state is that this program has the ability to learn. You can teach the program so that it will change its rating system. The drawbrak... you have to take the time to teach this program which is never fun. And I'm far to lazy so I will never do it. It could be a useful application in some cameras, for the terms for red eye, lighting and clarity.
Let's not forget when Colbert was running for president in South Carolina he did have the fastest growing Facebook group as well as a presidential Facebook group larger than all the other candidates combined.
Completely agree on being behind before the war started. The economy being a complete and utter mess right now is preventing many companies from expanding their national infrastructure. The war is contributing to the poor economy along with many other issues. How much the war is contributing to the poor economy remains to be seen right now and we probably won't know until the war is over exactly how much it hurt us and what exactly made the economy tank. But until the economy gets better I doubt we will see much expansion of the existing infrastructure.
Not entirely true, most of the international lines that run under the ocean, are privately funded, but usually they receive government grants. The government also provides grants for large continental lines on occasion as well. And the war is tanking the economy, so if the economy was better, companies would have more money to spend on improving broadband speeds.
You called Steve Jobbs King Jobbs? I thought Bill Gates was the King with his software monopoly? Or is he just the Guy with the top hat and cane on the monopoly box.
I know the webpages are store on servers in a data somewhere I work in the IT department of a 10 billion dollar company, I think I know about about that end. But explain to me how this is trespassing or destruction of property? Where did they trespass and what did they destroy? Absolutely nothing. They were in an area of the site in which they were allowed to be: NOT TRESPASSING. They did not destroy any property, just made an account with false information on it: NOT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. If you want to try to make this a crime it would be fraud. Like I said, they violated the Terms of Usage, and also like I said if you are going to get one person they have to get every person. And also like I said MySpace would not be able to tell if this person was real or not. They have the ability to tell when something is a fake from someone spamming others accounts with advertisement or when someone is a bot. As for a real person just posting fake information they have no way to tell unless something like this happens. People post fake information on the web everyday, reason why when kids right reports in school their teachers tell them to only use trusted sites. Same way you can search Holocaust and find sites where people say that it never happened. Not true, but people post it anyway. I was making the point that it is impossible to enforce this which it is. Because people can remake email, MySpace has no way to tell if the information is real or not if the person is real and not spamming. And Myspace doesn't have the resources to enforce it. MySpace does delete fake emails, but they come up just as fast and NO where in my statement did I say that you don't have the right to do it, SO please DO NOT misquote me, I said it is nearly impossible to enforce not that you don't have the right to if you can. Either read my post in full and quote me correctly or don't respond.
This is the internet buddy not anything tangible. How is it trespassing and destruction of property? They didn't destroy anything nor did they trespass. They violated the Terms of Service Agreement, something that is done all the time on MySpace because they can't monitor millions of people, there are spam bots and phishing attacks in Myspace too, but they can't even stop them let alone the actual people. And tell me how you intend on revoking a persons right to use it? Delete the account? You can make a new one with a different email in about 30 seconds. And you can get so many free email accounts you can delete nonstop and they can remake just as fast. Block the IP? MySpace doesn't have the means nor man power to block IPs and even if they do that they can just change their IP or go to a different location. This is the internet, almost nothing in enforceable at this time.
The story is an extremely tragic one, that has been in the new for quite sometime now and I have read about multiple times. However it would be extremely hard to prosecute not only for free speech, but for how many other people they would have to prosecute. Now I used myspace when it was first started when it was more about music social networking and before everything else came into play, but now I would say around 30% of the people on there aren't who they say, there are fake celebrities as well as fake everyday people. So in reality to be just you would have to follow with suits against these people. Now I know someone who had the same thing happen to them, granted they were not as young, and the two were the same age, but the person didn't kill themself. Now by no means am I trying to defend the people, but I think this girl may have had some mental issue for her to kill herself over a person on the internet whom she had never met. However she was young and it may have just been she was easily manipulated. But if that is the case isn't it the parents fault also for not monitoring their daughters internet use. In this case I don't think just one person to blame, but everyone involved. From the three who made the fake account to the parents to society itself. But if this case does go through and win it will open a whole can of worms with a million fake myspace accounts, to free speech conflicts to internet policies. But if this case does become some landmark case this poor girl will be remembered as some girl who killed herself over a fake myspace account instead of being remembered as Megan Meier, a young girl who was taken from the world prematurely. Maybe the real "right thing to do" is for everyone to take responsibility and let this young soul rest in peace.
I'm a 20 year old IT student, I'm also an intern and have a job offer already. I agree with many of the people who suggested Python, that is how I got my feet wet in programing, it is pretty easy to pick up and you can find a lot of small programs with walk-throughs online. Mainly the best way to learn is to find programs with some basic instructions and to learn by doing. As for the people who suggested C++, I wouldn't recommend starting here, I took C++ classes, I like it I see the functionality of it, but it isn't one of my favorite languages to program. If you want to get someone hooked on programing give him a Java book. Is about just as easy to learn as C++ and I think it is more fun to write. The various Java games you can write get you hooked. If you want him to get hooked just find him some fun program examples and give him the tools and help him if he asks.
Heath Ledger has been by far the best Joker he lived up to the comic book character. Jack Nickelson was good in Batman, but he was Jack Nickelson playing the Joker. However Heath Ledger wasn't the Heath Ledger playing the Joker he was the Joker.
Many people think they can market touchscreens for personal computers because touchscreens have been successful in many other uses such as kiosks, cash registers, the computer at the DMV where you take your permit test and the ones where you order your sandwich in Wawa. However for the personal computer arth1 is correct that no one is going to want to be waving their arm around using a motion sensor when they can keep their arm in a rested position. And as for the people saying to put the screen on the desk, I know people that code for hours on end, so if they had a a computer resting on the desk like that I am pretty sure they wouldn't be able to look up ever. Not to mention the inconvenience and cost it would take to get the touch screen repaired if it broke. Where as right now a mouse is relatively cheap to replace. There is no reason to phase out the mouse, if there are no overwhelming benefits then just go with the old saynig "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
Funny that you mention the Riverbed Steelhead devices, because I am currently testing two of them. I just set them up, so I can't vouch for them yet. I'm currently just browsing the web trying to get numbers for them. But if you are having issues with the satellite service do to outages from storms like snowraver1, I don't see how the WAN optimization would help you. I mean maybe if you switch to a provider where their uplink center is in better weather conditions that could definitely help. If you have multiple offices WAN optimization may help from going between the offices if the only problem with the service is that the satellites are overlaoded.
Granted the guy has totally went insane in prison, but in terms of his knowledge of the law he is probably more knowledgeable than SCO. If you read some of his other suits, the legal references are legit, but his plaintiffs and reasons for suing are completely off the deep end.
Is it just me or does this whole case seem a lot like the Napster case a few years back? Greedy company that already makes millions of dollars suing another big company for copy right infringement. Let's just hope people don't start getting prosecuted for uploading videos from MTVs Real World.
We are acting like this is some new thing, we all think that when we were young politicians were honest. They having been messing things up for years, and for years no one has done anything about it. Despite the fact that the government gets its power from the people, we are all too lazy and afraid to take a stand against them. I mean just think of the fact of Charlie Wilson he asked for a million dollars to build a school in Afghanistan so they knew we helped them, but we didn't and it has cost thousands of American lives. The only way the corruption is going to stop is if there is some kind of miracle like the movie Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Where so regular moral guy stumbles into office believing in nothing more than the Constitution and helping people and gets the people in his corner. Because right now as long as the corrupt are in power we will only see corruption.
The legal system in this country is going down the drain. I think because the Constitution sits behind a ton of glass in a museum the legal system and Congress think it is an artifact that is no longer relevant. It is 4th of July so what better way to honor the founding of this country than to just burn the Constitution, I mean the only part of it that seems to be still seems to be enforced is the right to own a gun. Funny considering that the the article on owning a gun is usually the one that is called outdated. But apparently all of the parts on privacy, freedom and free speech aren't outdated, but we just ignore them. Viacom DOES NOT need to nor has any right to look at all of the Google logs.
I heard France just issued that all of the street vendors in New York selling cheap knock offs need to pay up as well. And that they are currently the France court is trying to me John and Jenny Smith of New Jersey to pay up because they sold an old Marc Jacobs handbag at their yard sale. Come on this is a public auction site, not a retail site. This case should have been thrown out.
I mean it really depends on what experience you have and what you enjoy. You could always working with networking at a company, but knowledge of Linux and Cisco would probably be needed. It really depends on your real world experience and what you enjoy and what you want to do. If the only reason you are in Comp Sci is because it pays well, I think you chose the wrong career. Don't get me wrong I think coding can be boring depending on what language it is being written in and what I am writing, but not liking any coding all together sounds like you picked your major for the money and not for something you like.

It was the British Army who sacked Washington, I don't think Canadians can really take credit for it... just saying.
I could have sworn Canada was the 51st state. We just haven't gotten around to adding another star on the flag.
Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect 15 million dollars.
Well said.
