Sell it direct. Take Two's problem isn't that it's banned. The problem is that they can't sell it at Target and Wal Mart with an AO rating. Going direct eliminates this problem.
as an occasional interviewer, I have no knowledge of what classes you've taken or repeated. I would only know that if I asked for a transcript, which I wouldn't. HR might call and verify the GPA, but I wouldn't weigh it too heavily if you have work experience that mitigates the poor GPA. A company can''t get your transcript without your permission. Many large companies won't talk to you if you have under 3.5 GPA or some such bs. The same companies are often not considered good employers.
Focus on your strengths. OSS work does count as work experience, but only if it's verifiable work. You can even provide the code you contributed as an example of your work. Doing so provides potential employers a good example of the kind of work they could expect from you. Such a step is really only useful if the OSS project keeps records of who contributes what code. If I can't verify your sources, I may not believe you.
Consider the math. 20k to repeat a year. 60k you won't earn. 80k opportunity cost of repeating a year, plus or minus interest.
Bottom line, repeat the course if you really think you need to learn the material. Otherwise, just bone up of the material during all your free time and get on with your life.
They already blew 10 billion dollars trying to get into the comms business.
how much are they going to spend this time.
Intel is a very focused company that really can't do more than one thing at a time. They should stick to processors, and add features to processors to support comms. They can't afford to go competing with their customers again, if they didn't learn the first time.
I just come here to complain, not offer solutions.;)
I don't know enough of the process to know what to fix. However, since you asked.
1. If an examiner doesn't understand the subject matter, subcontract to someone who does. 2. Peer Review required for all patents. Patents are probationary during peer review. 3. Patent fraud should be severely punished. Perhaps cancelling all pending patent applications for any companies found guilty. The companies would then have to resubmit with a new start date.
Someone would sue the patent office, charging negligence. Maybe get an injunction against them from issuing any patents until they can issue them properly.
nope, by both school policy and in many cases, education law, all work performed for the school is property of the school. This includes homework, term papers, senior projects and postgraduate reasearch/thesis.
I heard of cases of students getting sued by their alma mater for infringement of thier own work.
I"ve always wondered why so many of the people that play d&d end up as IT professionals. I don't know how popular D&D is now. When I was in uni, there were more current or former D&D players in the programming classes than not.
D&D helped me be a better engineer by: 1. learning and working with a complex rule set. 2. Reading and comprehending specifications. The rulebook is several hundred pages long. 3. Problem solving within a strict set of boundaries, both individually and as a group 4. Failing a quest gracefully, without a hissy fit or seppeku, and without blaming the Damned Managers! (DM)
Of course, I also found that many people like playing D&D specifically to fight about and try to break the rules. I ended up working with many of the same kinds of people.
Maybe the manager should run his project more like a DM running a campaign. Then see how hard they work, in full costume.
The RIAA is attempting to control all access to music content in the first place. If this passes, the only way you will find out about new music is from the RIAA.
You might get lucky with local bands and festivals , but thats about it.
Removing oxygen will have a serious impact on the specific heat of air. Datacenters will have to requalify all componenct to work at the "lighter" O2 concentration. Many components will require larger heatsinks are fans.
No, flash tech hasn't changed much in a long time. It's just gotten faster, larger, and cheaper. NOR flash is much more reliable than NAND, but it's much slower. That is why computers use NOR for boot flash.
The iPOD Nano uses a NOR boot flash, but NAND for data.
Hybrid drives are a great idea if done correctly, a nightmare otherwise. Personally, I'm a bit leery of the concept. I wouldn't want to be an early adopter on this one.
Cingular is suffering and hungry. Cingular as a name doesn't even exist anymore, but is reverting back to the ATT brand name.
Verizon sucks, but doesn't need Apple's business.
Aside from the fact the the iPhone is overrated, I think that the deal will hurt Cingular in the long run. Sharing revenues (not profits) could end being a case of "giving away the farm to sell a horse" kind of deal for Cingular.
Agreed. I'd guess it's more a case of VT not being enabled by the BIOS yet rather than VT actually being disabled. BIOS development is nasty business and takes awhile.

Can emails you send be considered your "effects"? It's a good question.
Sleep = suspend to memory, and drop into low power state. Only memory (and input devices so you can wake the system) are powered. Hibernate = suspend to disk and power off.
You can unplug a hibernating computer with no adverse affects. Unplugging a Sleeping computer may result in filesystem damage.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes it will.
see "Mythical Man Month."
I recommend reading it twice, back to back. Then after five years of management, read it a third time.
Once upon a time, there was a very large legal battle over the presence on photocopiers in libraries.
It's not a file sharing anything. It's a file transfer protocol.
that's all

Is being the first movie to be ruined by relying on CGI special effects to carry a movie.
The script was dull, and acting was horrible. That was the first time I ever walked out of a movie theater wanting my money back.

now that's an amusing thought.

For java/db/web apps, not so important. It's absolutely crucial for OS, drivers, or development on micros.

$100,000 is a whole lot more than most people make off thier valuable inventions.
Companies that give $1000 rewards to employees for thier patents are considered generous.

The idea of a free Wii sounds much more interesting.
i hate it when i misread the headline
The question can be considered from
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, "
Can emails you send be considered your "effects"? It's a good question.
You are so wrong, It sounds much more like Intel...
;)
actually, it sounds like business as usual for a large company.
aren't you one of the Spice Girls?

I'll critique the validity of the story, but I won't read the article!
