Exactly right. If you think all these courses are a waste of time in the real word, by all means drop out of college and go to ITT Technical Institute. Sure, when you're done you'll understand the 'what' and 'how' of programming, but you won't understand the 'why'. Not understanding the 'why' will make it much more difficult for you to adapt when technology changes.
Except, of course, that we're not talking about the public website here, but some of the trading systems themselves. A little bot of a difference there.
MBONE was not designed to stream stuff. It was designed to create a multicast infrastructure. Once again it's apples and oranges. Streaming does not require multicasting, and multicasting does not necessarily mean data is being streamed.
I never said streaming audio did not exist (on MBONE or any network) before ten years ago. It certainly did. What I was pointing out was that the parent is comparing apples and oranges. A multicast network does not exist solely for the purpose of streaming media, and streaming media does not require the use of a multicast network.
And how is being taxed for all the miles you drive on private roads any different from all the tax you pay now (in the form of gas tax) to fill up your tank to drive on those private roads. You would end up about even, really.
Actually the increase in rotation was not caused by any "push", but because one fault slipping under another pulled more mass towards the center of the Earth. Being a body in rotation, the more compact it is, the faster it will spin.
Cisco is the only company with an employment policy that is worse than the one at Intel. Cisco does quarterly performance reviews; they are strictly by the bell (i.e. gaussian) curve. The bottom 10% are automatically fired without a second chance.
So you actually believe Cisco fires 40% of their workforce annually? Time for a reality (and fact) check.
I can guarantee you, that's not a goal you want to fulfill. If you are a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, you will never be seen as an expert in any specific area, and will alyways be in a position of general sysadmin, with little to no room for upward mobility. The worst part will come though if you're ever looking for a job once you pass 40 years of age. Although not really legal, which sysadmin do you think a company will hire....a 45-year old jack-of-all-trades, or a 25-year old one?
Voyager uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator for its power. This means that radioactive decay of its fuel creates heat, which is used to create power. That fuel's going to decay no matter what, so you either use the power or lose it.
Speaking as a worker in California, a $1000 bonus after taxes is more of a pittance than a bonus. But then again, beggars can't be choosers.

So what good is that to those of us who have a life outside the office? For most of us, work is a means to an end. What you're suggesting isn't what I would consider a bonus. Sure, it would make some aspect of my job better...but for most of us happiness in our life away from work is far more important than happiness at work.
Of course you couldn't modify any files, but if somebody could get in and force the machine to reboot, that could be very annoying. This could probably be mitigated by proper firewalling, etc., but many average home users don't know how to protect themselves.
Besides, updates aren't just for security flaws, but for non-security bug fixes and other enhancements. I'd hate to be locked into having such an un-customizable system, but that's just me.
And when a critical security flaw is discovered, what then? Stay offline while you wait for an updated CD to arrive in the mail? I'm skeptical about this...
Prefer to be informed...

I'm amazed when I see comments from people who are sick of reading about the SCO lawsuit. I would say that Slashdot is the best Linux advocacy site there is, and the outcome of this lawsuit will have profound implications for all Linux users. I work in the IT industry, as I'm sure do most of the readers here, and I prefer to be well-informed on topics that have a direct bearing on my profession.

What be this pen and paper of which you speak?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all work together instead of wasting billions on competing?
No, it would not. Competition breeds innovation. Non-competition breeds bureaucracy.

They're defining streaming audio as RealAudio. Sure, RealAudio is now ten years old, but streaming media existed much earlier than this.
No, just because something is multicast does not mean it is streaming media.

No, the odd cannot only go up with more data. The odds can go up or down, based upon what the data reveals.

In this case, the information is coming from the California Labor Code.

And what about us network engineers?

Unless you want to move into IT management....
Change Digital to Data and you'll have it right.

Funny, the first link returned is a great explanation of how to fix a leaky faucet. Want to try again?
Best brush up on your higher math and check out eigenvalues.
