Repeated irresponsibility. An "above the rules" attitude. Financial irresponsibility. Repeated impulsive behaviors. Extreme immaturity. Willingness to violate the rights of others to achieve one's own ends. Willingness to break rules or violations of laws and regulations.
Sounds like most gov'ment agencies, FBI, CIA, Congress, Executive Branch, etc. etc. etc. Phone it in, start the investigation...
They will eat this stuff up. Check your email from the room, great for travelling families and folks who *don't* have laptops. Use the usb connection to send out pictures from the vacation, or update the iPod for the beach. Yes, they'd have a server, but they'll also charge you $10 a day to use their "pc". And being a thin client, no matter what porn or spyware you wade through, it can be set to toast everything on exit. Just nail the monitor to the desk and put a "fluid" resistant membrane on the keyboard (ewww).
This would also be good for store applications like price check terminals, registry applications, who knows?
If you've ever seen a burn victim get skin grafts, this is huge.
They cut the burned tissue off with a long thin sharp knife with a depth gauge. It's just like watching the guy at the Greek deli cut strips off the lamb for a Gyro. Once they've got down to viable tissue, they wrap you up, staple the bandages on (yes right into your flesh like a band flyer on a phone pole)
Then they take this skin shaver and grind little sheets off your ass. Oh, unless of course you really got burned bad, and your ass is toast too. Then hopefully someone who died recently was nice enough to allow skin to be harvested off their dead ass. The skin is then run through this expander thing, that cuts a fishnet pattern into it. This fishnet flesh is then draped over the raw meat and it slowly (and painfully) grows back together.
Now imagine the doctor in the burn center prints off some custom fit sheets of skin for your raw meat. No extra hurts and scars on your already way wounded body. And maybe a reduced chance of infection with the graft. I hope they can make something workable out of this.
Work rules basically say I can't have a business that competes with thier interests. So this effectively kills any for-profit IT related work on the side (not to say I don't regularly help out friends and family, I brought new meaning to "will work for food". Folks call up asking to speak with me about their computer and my wife asks them what's for dinner:-)
But anyway, Firefighter, yep. Turns out you only volunteer when you sign up, it's a second job after that. My dad was one too. Researcher / Computer whiz at Columbia University during the day, firefighter at night. It definitely helps wipe the Dilbert off the day and put things in perspective.
The difference between Volunteer and Career (paid) Firefighters: Volunteers make more money, career guys fight more fires.
This is more like a public performance of a work. Which requires you get a license from the appropriate performance royalties organization. Ask any legit bar, restaraunt, disco, raidio station etc about public performance of copyrighted works, even ones they shelled out their own cash to buy. (Oh yeah, even applied to companies that play music on the pa or use hold music)
It's my PS2 and the boy is allowed to play games on it, but it's a privledge that can be taken away for minor violations. It also hasn't been turned on for two weeks, because we've been trying to get outside every chance we can since it got nice (even though we've been dodging rain drops lately)
OK, so with the violence deal, the folks who blame violence on video games should take the fire hydrant out of their ass that's holding their head in. These fuctards who think video games cause violence aren't mature enough to figure out the difference between reality and a video game themselves. They are also people who don't really seem interested in raising their kids. "It takes a village", Bullshit! It takes time, your time, spend it with your kid and help them grow up right
I pay close attention to the games my son plays. I check them out with him, I help him play through the hard spots, and I don't let him play adult games.
Things will change as he gets older, and what I let him play will be determined by his level of maturity. I have friends and relatives who don't game who look to me for advice about the games their kids are exposed to. My cousin bought her third grader GTA Vice City, I could have smacked her when I found out, but she already knew at that point. That just isn't appropriate for kids in grade school. No, I don't think the one time he played it is going to make him go out and run someone over, but you don't give a little kid a game that they don't have the mature thought processes to handle, that's why it's rated M, mature, don't give it to your fucking grade school kids.
But there you go, she bought her kid a game that wasn't appropriate, but she sat down with him on Christmas day as he played it for the first time, and said "oh shit."
Another example, "War of the Monsters" It's a T rated game, but I let my four year old play it. I let him play it because we only play in two player, and we just run around and break up buildings. Good clean fun. He gets mad at me if I throw his monster around, and he doesn't like the normal single player mode because the other monsters are mean to him.
Well, in 2.5 we already have it built in. It's called oprofile. There are two places you can do accurate profiling, in hardware, or in the kernel. Some hardware has external interfaces that allows you to do profiling.
But in this case oprofile or pi have to have a kernel element, so that they have access to the memory map of a program, and can set/read preformance counters in the cpu (or in cpus without perf regs, use a timer pop to sample the running application). And that's the key really when you compare something like this to gprof etc. You are profiling code without having to modify the code.
Yeah, their big, but someone should call the Nascar guys. Not only could they test individual cars, they could test how cars interact with each other (which is always the bane of wind tunnel testing. You get the car to play real nice in the breeze, but it handles like crap in traffic).
Y'know, that is interesting. On my machine, I can hear an 'ls -l' through the speakers, but it clinks in sync with each line showing up on screen, but doesn't clink with other hard disk accesses (and only in X, not from a text console). But, when I used to have Win95 on that machine years ago, I could hear hard disk access through the head phones, very light. The other part of this is the tower is in a pretty sound tight cabinet, I don't really hear much from it, and it definately comes through the monitor speakers.
OK, for us (USA) WWII happened *after* the 1930's. We were constantly fighting to cut access to the autobahn. Check for references on Bradley's action in Europe, and also crossing the Rhine, where the North-South autobahn was severed cutting off access to Berlin. *After* the war, Ike, (who, as mentioned before, got his ass and that whole column bogged down in the springtime Kansas Mud on a coast to coast move) recalled "During World War II, I saw the superlative system of German national highways crossing that country and offering the possibility, often lacking in the United States, to drive with speed and safety at the same time." Oh, and the Interstates did not exist back then like they do today. Think more along the lines of Route 66, US 1, US 7 and US 13. Not exactly the superslabs we got today.
Another reason was in Europe in WWII, he was very impressed by the amount of troops and equipment they moved in a very short time on the Autobahn. (I too am too lazy to look up references, so tag that as IIRC:-)
To my friend who had a sliver of a car, not even really sanded, or neatly cut for that matter, bad paint job with lead plugs sticking out in a haphazzard manner. He called them nails, but now as I think back who the heck would make a lead nail? (we it was the 70s maybe they did that back then) Anyway he would keep pulling them out and trimming until he met the weight limit. Beat the pants off everyone with that slugmobile.
I had the slick aero car that had a sorta wing profile to it, painted nice and silver, I made it to the finals but that damn slugmobile...
I guess that was a pretty significant event for me because I think back on it often, overengineering got beat by brute force.
DDD (a gui front for gdb) has this. I haven't used any other gui debuggers for a long time but I seem to remember M$ had something like this in theirs as well. You can use all the gdb commands in the command window, plus when you execute a gui action it will show you the command in the command window. Very helpful for weaning windows folks from the gui only mindset.
Hmmm, hope you don't live around here, or in NYC. Got news for you, more than one municipality draws water from the Hudson. While NYC doesn't on a regular basis, there have been many times in my life when they've turned on the Cold Spring pumping station to lessen the pressure on low resevoirs. There is always concern that pumping for NYC is helping move the brackish water farther north.
Ummmm,I believe they are talking about the mud being O2 free, not the river itself.
And as to getting ill from taking a dip, give me a break. Maybe down around Manhattan (especially the East River), but not for us upstaters. I've been swimming in that river since I was a kid, and let me tell you, when I was a kid (mid 70s)the toxins were flowing fresh daily. Yeah, there were limits, anytime a bunch of fish or clams etc washed up on the beach dead we couldn't go swimming (and usually wound up bagging some samples to see what killed them this time around). So taking a dip won't kill you, eating the local fish will.

My Dad. OK, maybe not what the average geek might think of as "great" as in Knuth, K+R, Plauger etc. He co-authored 3 books, worked for a long time as a researcher and at one point had a bunch of grad students trying to prove one of his little "thumbnail" statistcal algorithms was correct (it was). Dad retired earlier this year (he turned 70 this month) and in the midst of heping him and mom move to a new house the first thing I notice is he already has his computer set up...

I recently set my 11 yr old nephew up with GAIM. With the normal warnings about saftey and responsibility came my sage warning:
"If someone claiming to be a hot babe wants you to chat or look at pictures, keep in mind she is not hot, and not even female."
Will he pay heed to my warnings? Probably, because if he fscks up the computer he'll get IM and other luxuries taken away.

Well, considering this was on /. last year, when they first got Linux to boot on it successfully, I gotta imagine someone at Nintendo knows about it.
