"Large corporations put their trust into the cloud and any sign that they could lose or lock out the data, will cause them to run someone where else."
If they lose your data or my data then the cloud provider will point you to the EULA and say sorry. If they lose GE's data or Walmart's data, they will be dealing with an entirely different legal scenario no matter how "airtight" their EULA is.
I'd guess about every quarter or so there are mentions about textual criticism issues, and far more frequently phrases are discussed with regards to what is the underlying greek or hebrew meaning.
There are plenty of religious factions that are based on understanding their holy writings in a logical and methodical approach. There are even religious organizations that seek to provide verification of the parts of holy writings that can be proven by our current methods of observation (archeology, history, textual criticism). Many religious people are intellectually lazy but most will accept that people might actually want to reason out what they believe.
It is well known that cockroaches can survive just about anything. I'd assume that would include airline baggage handling, but I haven't done a peer reviewed study. Now a mosquito isn't quite so hardy.
I worked for a hardware company for a bit. They had a software group devoted to system management. If you weren't in the systems management group, software specialists weren't welcome. As a contractor to the company I got loaned to one of the hardware groups to try and fix some software. What I found was OO code from the chip-manufacturer had been wrapped in a functional language because none of the EE/CPEs had seen a new language in 20 years. The worst offense was someone was using a union instead of a structure to "save space" and yet trying to use every member at once.
We had a mathmatician who worked for us for a while. He insisted on writing his own data structures for the sole purpose of starting indexing at 1 like God intended...
In my CS undergrad we had a single math course that used Maple and a single math course that used Matlab. While they gave me exposure to the packages, I spent more times with the quirks of the packages than learning the actual contents of the course. This has caused me some pain in my PhD courses because I'm expected to apply some of these concepts that I probably could "work out" in a math package, but I wasn't able to focus on the theory enough to make application now. It would have been nice to have a computer aided math course offered but that may be an accrediation risk for the program. The other option would be to teach a package as part of a lower level course and stick with it through later courses.
I'm a software developer. A couple of years ago I interviewed with a small VOIP startup. The owner was Indian. He was replacing the positions he had outsourced in India with American developers because even with no cultural or language clashes he had trouble getting the level of quality he expected. While I'm sure it isn't the case with every position or every foreign subcontractor, the man was quite irrate that he was in fact getting what he was paying for.
Well I had this all typed out with links and more witty but you are suggesting that Yahoo should block:
dvdrip Family Video
brrip Personal
xvid legal
dvdrip is it legal?
I wonder what they would find if they ran a similar study of a semi-controlled environment filled with their peers with regular violence that was inconsistently punished rather than video games.
I'm in the market for web-blocking software. I have X choices and one has recently decided upon complaints from organization B that organization A's block list is inhumane and they prematurely end their support contract with organization A. Guess which one is not going to be the top of my list. Censorship is bad, but if I buy software to support a business decision and I have reason to believe the software vendor will break that specific functionality because I may run afoul of their undocumented rules then I'm going somewhere else.
You aren't supposed to pay for an Alpha? That would have saved me some dollars and a couple of weeks when I plopped them down for Alpha Protocol. Actually that makes sense, when can I pick up Beta Protocol or Protocol?
From the article I read on yahoo I would not be surprised if they tried to force this on the FOSS community.
This is what worries me most about this issue. Sure my freedom is at stake but if this goes off without a hitch then any private action no matter how few people it involves even if it is one could be concidered "commerce" for the purposes of determining governmental power.

"-Any service that provides encrypted messages must be capable of unscrambling them.
-Any foreign communications providers that do business in the U.S. would have to have an office in the United States that's capable of providing intercepts.
-Software developers of peer-to-peer communications services would be required to redesign their products to allow interception."
My thoughts exactly. Have we really tapped all the energy sources here that are reasonable? Apart from the what if it misses and fries someone question, this project would beam extra energy into Earth's energy system. One system might not have a strong effect but lets not forget the law of conservation of energy here.
Herein lies the antitrust problem... People have been making money off this area for years, but is the money being made off of Windows flaws? If I started selling unofficial patches that fixed say crashes in IE, would I have the right to sue if Microsoft patched those flaws? What if they waited several years and I had a clearly established market for my patches? This case is interesting because it will define how far a company can go in fixing its own issues. If they rule against Microsoft, this could mean that companies are only allowed to patch issues in the last two phases of Software Engineering.

Sorry, that is not an accepted slashdot unit of measure. Please restate the question in the form of Libraries of Congress.

So this bill introduces the idea of tenure for teachers?
With the way testing is going in this country, I'm surprised that there is such a thing as a bad grade for any given answer.

Excellent, now all I have to do is quit grad school and I'll be able to leave slashdot long enough to get some work done.

Isn't that cute, you think that a movie's official website contains information.

How many violent adults played videogames as children? How about watched violent tv? Read a violent book? Baited a hook with a worm?
I wonder what they would find if they ran a similar study of a semi-controlled environment filled with their peers with regular violence that was inconsistently punished rather than video games.
That's not fair. Some of them are in Washington making the rules that govern Wall Street now.
I keep shouting it on slashdot but they don't seem to notice me...
Just to be clear the judge in question was formerly a lawyer, a political lobbyist, and worked for the music industry.

So what the hell has ID done?
Generic FPS (granted the first generic FPS) Doom, Fantasy Doom, Nazi Doom, and future Doom.
To each his own I suppose.
