Here at Bowdoin, we get to keep our real address after we graduate. for example, if my username was msmiles while I was enrolled, my email for like is msmiles@bowdion.edu. We dont even tack on a @alum.bowdoin.edu.
Plus, because we are small, we often allow people that get married to add a new alias for their new name.

Of course this policy leads to people having addressing like asmith14...but......matt
I live in Redmond, the same city as MS's headquarters, and went to a private school in the same league @ BG's (which is called Lakeside BTW)...the tuition is about 12-13K/yr, not 100K/yr (3x Harvard) as the poster states.
The argument is that they ask questions like : polo is to horse as soccer is to ______. It assumes that the reader knows what polo is, and that it requires a horse, etc... They are considered racist because a minority may have not heard of polo while a nonminority would have.
AT least thats the argumeant.
I agree with the parent poster. I also have one other point to bring up:
The SAT is adesigned as a measure of how well you will do in college. dyslexia certainly makes colleghe HARD, so dyslexia should make the SAT HARD. Why correct for the desired result?
There is actually a similar solution for windows...its called SnapStream PVS...and its pretty incredible...full web config/viewing/acess...only downside is it only reacords to AVI or WindowsMedia. Oh well...
Try it (I beta tested for them):
www.snapstream.com
Not only that, but goldeneye even has dual controller configurations, where the one in your left hand is movement and the one on your right is aimimg...its a bit awkward, but it exists.
For those of you who want something similar, but have TV cards in your computer, check out Snapstream PVS. Its a great product:

no, I dont work for them.
What I find interesting is how this could be applied to something like SeaLand/HavenCo...wouldn't this basically allow them to remove the necesity for diesel fuel to be shipped in?
I obviously cant speak for all school's, but here's what happens where I am:
You write code as a grad student. You are paid in two ways by the school:
a) salary (usually a stipend)
b) reduced tuition
So its really kind of both.
Yeah, and if you WERE in this position and had tried that BS, you'd be on your ass in the street without a job faster than RMS can squeel about Opensource.
A four year old can use it because he has the time to mess with it Most corporate "lusers" (what an intolerant term) don't have that time, because they have to get work done.
Of course, as a reluctant user of NT, I *know* it's vulnerable, and the fact this occured doesn't surprise me at all. What IS surprising is we haven't heard more of this coming out of Redmond; it can't be the first time.
Did you miss something? The article SPECIFICALLY said it was accomplisghed via a Trojan, making it NOT NT's fault, but the users'.
Granted, that is the neoclassical interpretation. But you missed something. Prices (and wages, which are really just the proce of labor) are only perfectly flexible in the long run models of the market (AD/AS models, for example). However, in the short run, proces are "sticky", meaning they cannot be easily adjusted due to things like preexisting contracts and the like. SO while you could apply a neoclassical explanation for how they could have more profit, the problem is that the price AND the supply are fixed due to the stickiness effect of the short run market, making that kind of analysis flawed.:-)

First of all, are you a representative of Advanced Cell Technologies, Inc.?
Nope. Justa random/. reader.
No? Then why do you say "we"?
I saw "we" simply because i truly did mean we as in mankind. Don't start witht the petty "you can't speak for me" BS. I know that. So does every intelligent reader. That's a given. I don't know where you took rhetoric classes, but I've never taken one, and using we was simply what came out of my head, not some planned out "trick."
is this company's interest in doing this? My guess is that they are doing research they want to do anyway, and picked the endangered-species thing purely as a form of PR. So? I am sure they want to do some research on their own, thats what companies do! So RedHat or MS do soemthing cool and demo it at InterOp or something, do we (there's that we again!) automatically view their motives as sinister simply becvause they can benefit from it? Thats a bit simplsitic don't you think? Why shoudn't they pick a endangered species? Which do you think would bring more knowledge to the world: recreating an Asian guar that we know little about, or a wildebeast, about which we know alot. If both can be done, why not choose A) the one that can provide us more info and research fodder and B) one that is good PR anyways. PR is NOT always a bad thing.
Completely artificial- they would be serving the purpose for which they evolved, so why bother?
Of course its completely artificial. We are doing to it to correct (at least TRY to) a past error. Patches are never perfect. But by what you said you very basically miss a point. There is NO PURPOSE in evolving...that anthropomorphizes the issue. OUR purpose in doing this is to at elast TRY to preserve soemething of the past for our children, so that hopefully they will see that not only did we make a mistake, but that were were compassionate in adbanced enough to attempt to rectify it with what was available to use at the time.
That would be a bad thing. I live very close to the MS Campus (about 500 yards). My house would be pummeled in the giant fireball that would ensue, not to mention th enormous blackhole that would open up and be centered bascally next to my house to to the lack of bugs in the software industry.
Truly though - MIR has outlived it usefulness - its dying and deserves a "noble" death of guided reentry (but not on Redmond, plz!:-))

I would love to see this paper/study whatever - even a citation would be good...I would be helpfulf or something I am writing.... Thanks.

Strangely enough, It does have core dumps on crash. You simply gotta turn the feature on (*gasp*).
I have an idea. Maybe if you dont want to havethings forced on you, dont plop your child down in front of a console. Talk to him/her.
Not only that, but goldeneye even has dual controller configurations, where the one in your left hand is movement and the one on your right is aimimg...its a bit awkward, but it exists.
Would this mean that we could finally get rid of the horror that is X? Im not a X coder, but I have been told it is hell.
Errmmm, the employee you sent it to is not legally able to enter into agreements on behalf of MS?

What about 1-tone buying? :-)

I WOULD LOVE to know what site this is! Not because I disgaree (which I dont), but would be interesting fodder...Maybe even server logs would be nice.
