I've been trying to deal with this EXACT issue for awhile now.. Thank goodness she had the radness to put up a great video about it. THIS is full of 'win'.
PS - geek girls are awesome. Lady Ada and Jeri Ellsworth are my idols. Throw down a little Sarah McLachlan & my gf and my world's complete.
Geeks are also awesome regardless of gender. Though I prefer the lack of a male ego, it's annoying to navigate.
Retarded point my friend.
Standford, Harvard, Columbia, etc.. All Private.
All the best schools are private ones. Granted there's some pretty crummy ones too, but that's extremely typical of the public institutions too, who stand little to lose if they "fail to meet their customers needs".
Wow, some people take things too far. If you have such a big issue with their show, don't pay any attention to it. If you go murder these guys, you're not going to fear people in to listening to your demands. You'll be polarizing a vast fan base in to never considering your views as anything more than completely fucking crazy.
Pfsense would be helpful. It's a handy router distribution that can be used for various relevant things, including seeing what DHCP leases are active and also be scheduling when the router will route traffic..

I just took an excellent course at the University of Calgary where my prof David Keith (a god on this subject matter, go look the man up, seriously).. Discussed all sorts of world energy systems. One thing he discussed was that he conducted a study on the notion of how massive adoption of wind power would affect the climate. He found that there would be significant climate implications of harvesting vast amounts of kinetic energy from the atmosphere. Global climate would be seriously affected. Apparently Keith and his peers were shunned rather harshly for presenting that finding, makes you wonder what people's agendas are.. Anyway, I'm not saying it'd be better or worse to invoke that change, but it would be a different climate. Is that a lesser evil than dumping more and more CO2 in to the atmosphere? I think probably yes. Though I doubt we can really predict who would be affected most. Nevertheless, we don't have remotely effective means of storing lots of wind generated power. And you all love that the light comes on right away when you flip the switch.
For now the only global power generation technology we have that can function on demand, can be used safely, is well understood and doesn't inherently provoke climate change is nuclear power. People concerned about the waste products of nuclear power should understand that we have the knowledge to handle radioactive materials safely. Besides, the vast majority of the usable power is still present in the current output "spent" fuel. With sufficient motivation, we can reprocess that and get even more energy out. PS - if your fears are inspired by "Three Mile Island", you should go read what really happened. If you're concerned about Chernobyl - that was a garbage reactor design to fail in to a meltdown plus Russia tried to cover it up, which made the situation a lot worse. If one of the first gas engines had exploded, and thus the tech was dumped, we collectively would have missed out pretty harshly.
Fact is, everything we do has a consequence. And I think the solution to our environmental & energy issues requires that we optimize on all fronts. We should continue to search for means to need less energy and produce it through a large range of processes. Part of that is not doing what's cool, but what works well. Solar Arrays (Photovoltaics) are awesome in space or remote places, they make sense there. However, I've been led to believe that it takes a very long time for them to collect the necessary power to make up for what it took to manufacture them...
Bah, anyway, the list goes on. Keep on thinkin people, sooner or later we'll find a way to harvest infinite power from the ether... or something. Brains unite!

I guess it's easy to miss major news that isn't in your regular rounds of stuff one attends to. Better late than never I guess.
Ohh the gaysauce. How it flows over everything and gets stuck in every crack.
