It's a damned shame that you were modded troll. The troll moderation is NOT for modding down something you disagree with people.
That said, your actual post is a little harsh dude.
This BS of making kids take shit so that they'll be "well rounded" is horse shit.
ALL of the greats in the World; Past Present and Future, were NOT well rounded! They specialized in ONE thing and did it extremely well. Trying to be "well rounded" is a path to mediocrity - which explains much of our state today.
I wish I could find the article, but it stated that it was in the 1970s that some Ivy League admission director pulled out of her ass that incoming students should be "well rounded". Of course, when an Ivy League school does something, all the others follow like stupid sheep.
I have a hunch: I don't think he really wants the patent to use it. I think he wants to get this patent to prove that he's a god among patent attorneys and all those firm that want patents or to sue for patents will hire him and his firm.
Then again, he may actually want the patent so he can hire other lawyers to sue on his behalf so that then, he can sit home, watch his DVD collection of Boston Legal, sip Scotch, and wish that he was hooked up with such hot women as Alan Shore has.
What are they honestly expecting? If all you're going to do is repeat, for the nth time, yet another basic, basic, simple crappy puzzle game, you ARE NOT going to make much cash, or get much recognition.
Maybe it's an example program in the development framework?
At least he's not writing about how his "Hello World!" program is selling.
I think the parent meant by starting at $0 is to start with F/OSS which is $0 fees paid pit as opposed to starting with a negative number as with MS for the contract fees paid to them.
It will happen both ways. There'll be a whole Universe created when you mod one way, another for modding another, yet another for not modding, and still others where you don't ask this question and this one where you did ask. Multiverse. Of course I created a universe by posting this. There's another universe where I did not post and instead pleasured myself with some hairy milf porn.
I must congratulate the P.R. team behind Icahn. The press keeps calling him "activist investor" when "corporate raider" would be a far more appropriate term...
It does sound better, but from a shareholder perspective, those raiders are a benefit. Unfortunately, corporate management very rarely works in the best interests of the stockholder and trying to get them fired is pretty much impossible without buying the company outright. Even the mutual fund that may have millions of shares in a particular company will have maybe a one percent of voting power. The stockholder almost always loses when management gets their way.
"We are very pleased that the settlement was approved because we believe it is in the best interests of the company and our shareholders," the company said in a statement.
I think it really means:
"We are very pleased that the settlement was approved because we believe it is in the best interests of the executives and maybe our shareholders," the company said in a statement.
Yeah, I'm a cynical old bastard, but can you blame after what's happened in the last six months?
It has long been known that Bamford has no love lost for Israel. His previous books have incorrectly written of the details around Israel's attack of the Liberty, a US Navy technical research ship, which was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea during the Six-Day War.
Could an example his incorrect details be supplied?
And what about it? An Israeli jet fired upon a ship flying an American flag and killed a bunch of Americans. There's no excuse.
I just don't get American foreign affairs, I guess.
The citizenry of the UK seems uninterested, held perhaps in the grip of a belief that the State generally means well.
Possibly, they're praying upon fear of the Muslim community. Xenophobia and ignorance along with actions by the Muslim community (riots over alleged slights against them) that give justification to some Briton's beliefs about said community, enables the UK Government to continue with these actions.
Some of the other locations revealed are MI6â(TM)s London offices, Britainâ(TM)s nuclear crisis HQ and the SAS training facility. Apparently the UK Government is worried that terrorists could potentially launch missile attacks to those target areas with the exact coordinates readily available on the Internet.
So, the UK Government is actually saying, "Oops! You got us! That's exactly what they are! As matter of act, those buildings are exactly what you think they are and then some! What what! Cheers!"
Could these buildings be not very important and the UK gov is making them seem more important to distract everyone from the real targets? I don't see anything that makes that facility ultra secure like you'd expect for someplace that is that sensitive. Look how close it is to the highway (A814)? Here in the States, there'd be a HUGE driveway or access road so that someone couldn't just park at the side and lob a mortar shell over or what have you.
A tabloid said this? A PRINTED tabloid that will do anything to increase circulation; especially in this economy?!?
"How would you feel if someone hot-linked your content, consumed your bandwidth, and gave you no advertising revenue in exchange?"
Probably like a person with a very broken business model, but that's just me.
I agree! The same goes for banks! They obviously have a broken business model, so I thought, well, since they're not lending money, I'll just go in and cut them out and help myself!
Fucking FBI! They didn't understand that I was doing the country a service by updating the banking system!
You forgot the house cameras that will tape everyone and where they're sitting. There will also be infrared cameras to make sure no one moves and if they do, theater security will interrogate them.
After all, this is America: of the **AA, for the **AA, by the **AA... or for the lobbyists for that matter.
I like to point out to engineers who have the attitude that if you build a better mouse trap, the World will beat a path to your door, how will the World know about your mousetrap?
According to its Web site, Software Tree specializes in "providing superior software infrastructure that shifts the application/database integration paradigm."
Oh boy! I'm going to have to file a lawsuit against Software Tree because they are violating my patent on superior software infrastructure and my other patent that shifts application and database integration paradigm.
One reason was that the outputs came from "black box" computer models and were hard to subject to a commonsense smell test. Another was that the quants, who should have been more aware of the copula's weaknesses, weren't the ones making the big asset-allocation decisions. Their managers, who made the actual calls, lacked the math skills to understand what the models were doing or how they worked. They could, however, understand something as simple as a single correlation number. That was the problem.
There you have it. The managers making the decisions didn't know what it all meant and the guys using the model didn't adequately explain the model's limitations.
Enter Li, a star mathematician who grew up in rural China in the 1960s. He excelled in school and eventually got a master's degree in economics from Nankai University before leaving the country to get an MBA from Laval University in Quebec. That was followed by two more degrees: a master's in actuarial science and a PhD in statistics, both from Ontario's University of Waterloo.

First I watched some hairy milf porn, then some stuff on how ot win on "Call of Duty", then I watched some heavy metal and cop killing rap music videos, a Joel Osteen sermon, then I watched this guy with an Uzi with a silencer knock off a bunch of targets (way cool!), and then I watched Obama's weekly address.
A few hours later, this black helicopter lands in my front yard and a bunch of guys kick my door down! I mean, WTF!?!

And in other news, Yahoo slips further into irrelevance.
Yeah, I haven't seen anyone drinking that. At least where I live, people prefer to drink Coke.

Out of curiosity, is Orwell's "1984" being used as a policy guide in the UK by her politicians?

Married a chick from Eastern Europe, who is .. cough, 19 years younger than myself.
You sir, are my hero.
Marketing baby!
In a blatant attempt to make my movie-going a valid business expense,...
To get reimbursed from the parent company, to increase Slashdot's losses or all the above?
I'm Peter North, and I frequently download porn.
Oh please, like he'd do that! A porn star downloading porn would be like a programmer reading Slashdot!
Never mind.
By stealing this song, rather than purchasing it through retail, he has stolen revenue from AT LEAST the following people:
a) The label b) The store c) Marketing d) Hauliers
He is STEALING FROM THEM.
e) The bankers
Oop. Sorry.

That's right! That's why I lie and create an assumed name to post under. Now, I have much more credibility and weight than an AC!
