Is it really necessary to explain that this is the first time anyone has offered a CS degree online in the history of humanity?
We're talking about a course about computing offered entirely over the internet. Surely if it hasn't been done recently we can be pretty sure that the Ancient Greeks didn't beat us to it?
We only know of one Antikythera mechanism. The job market for keeping it running was limited at best.
Besides, the Sophists were the ones with the resume' writing courses -- CS102 as I recall.
But if it's not locked down like a TPM, you've lost the trust and it becomes pointless. A TPM requires storage to store private keys in memory that can't be accessed. Even if someone melts the top of the package off and attaches wires directly to the flash/eeprom part of the die.
First, most machines don't possess one, so DRM can't really assume it is there.
Second, it is shipped off and disabled. A user has to explicitly flip the TPM on in BIOS setup, then allow the OS to take ownership.
Of course, this technology is a double-edged sword. Look at the PS3 is an example.
However, on laptops, it provides an additional security boost, especially with a full disk encryption utility like BitLocker. The enhanced security it provides (allowing the OS to boot without a password needed, as well as protecting against "evil maid" attacks) is a help.
Also UV causes two or more T's... ie TT to bend, then an enzyme is required to straighten this kink out, otherwise it may lead to a DSB and melanoma.
Why is melanoma so named? Is it because of a black nucleus, or is it related to melanin?
In 2004 (I think), I saw a short blurb that said that cancer nuclei were black. I have since waded through a meter of paper vainly trying to find the reference.
The place with the highest concentration of iPhones and iPads is located between Baltimore and D.C. That's where I would expect to find the most intelligent people.
AIUI, you assume wrong. The horse's terminal velocity is considerably higer (and considerably more terminal) than that of the mouse.
and thus you strengthen his point. The mouse wins with conservative estimates. The mouse wins by more when you take into account more detailed explanations. Maybe he should have said "even if you assume..."
This is called the principle of conservation of mice.
No, a Pennsylvanian school with a habit of promoting looking for good coaches and giving them teacher positions to save money. This guy was softball. The football/chemistry showed "Remember the Titans" weekly after he got tired of doing chemistry labs. Not that the other chemistry teacher was much better. Replace "Remember the Titans" with self-written poetry readings. There were a few more, but that is not here or there.
What is it that uh (he pretended to fumble for the word) qualifies you said one student in the coach's English class.
Grad school prof.. maybe? I dunno. I remember in public school ~2000 I had a teacher was adamant that continental drift was an impossible pseudoscience. Spent a whole day's lesson explaining its flaws. The bizarre thing was he was supposed to be teaching U.S. history from the revolution to the modern day.
Bizzare drift frightens Continentals. Silversmith Paul Revere rides warning Red Hot Coats drifting this way.
Did he have a lesson plan for that?
Did this happen in PS2000? Is he in one of New York's celebrated Rubber Rooms?
Albert Einstein gave us some good quotes. Ever heard this one? "The world we have made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them."
"I would absolutely love to hear your qualifications for this statement." -> Seriously, this, on/.? It's a flying computer built by a bunch of military contractors.
Bring one to the next major computer trade show, and leave it inside over night. If it isn't outright stolen, it'll be sporting a Tux sticker on its side as a handful of attendants will stay up all night to get Linux running on the damn thing. "Dude, I've got the kernel up and running, but I can't decide: KDE or Gnome?"
I can see the future... in a few years, you will have to slide a credit card to enable use of your car's radio if someone is sitting in the passenger sit (be the front or back sits!)
Of course, if it can be heard 100 feet away, then it is being rebroadcast.

Err...peanuts confisticated? Seriously? Are peanuts now a dangerous weapon?
I suppose the nuts themselves might be thrown and could put someones eye out....but would they allow a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
I'm guessing you're being as tongue and cheek as I am....?
Peanut butter could be thrown, and the spoon would put someone's eye out.
One should rely on tongue and cheek sandwiches.
The moose were supposed to have died in the story, of warmth, during the last 5 years.
Just as it was getting colder and colder.
So looking at the last 8 years is reasonable.
Since the last 10000 years had a temperature stretch of 4C,
were they trying to find out what happens 40000 years from now? 26000 years ago there were Neanderthals around, so 40000 is not a blip.
The Neandertals are still neanderig around.

Smoothly to the ground.
Burma Shave!
The drones are staying in people's houses?
I am a drone you insensitive clod.

A SEM might do this.
That isn't really how a TPM works.
First, most machines don't possess one, so DRM can't really assume it is there.
Second, it is shipped off and disabled. A user has to explicitly flip the TPM on in BIOS setup, then allow the OS to take ownership.

Like an Au Pair in the middle attack.
We try to avoid AAA while flying, the shrapnel reduces our chance of mission completion.
When you are in the flak, you may be nearing the target.
this hero of the people taking from the evil banks and redistributing back to the little people will never lose
That sounds like PR. More likely, he invested in portraits of Elvis and Mexican jail doors.

I was going to try winning one, but now? Forget it!
Especially with all the hard work required to win this prize. I mean, Obama went and ............
Well, he did absolutely nothing. Maybe there's hope for me yet.
And some change.
A wooden spoon?
Due to budget issues, this year it's just a stick...
It started as a boomerang, but it failed its initial tests.
I can't believe researchers would drop drawers and scoot around on the desert floor rubbing their ...
Oh! That kind of tainted!
'Tis or taint, S'cooter.
I can attest to that. I lived in Ireland for six years. I'm now back in Scandinavia and is more then happy to pay my tax here again.
So you said fin to Ireland.
I don`t want the generator in the palm of my hand! I want it imbedded in the sunglasses on my head!
Of, course, the DHS/TSA will have dibs on the first batch.
And since this starts with lasers, the sharks will want upgrades.

You mean douchiest right?
Douche'

By 'rapist', you mean 'is accused of having consensual sex without using a condom', a minor crime in Sweden with a $750 penalty.
That gets you sent to Gitmo.

What got us into this mess will not get us out.

And then mouse wil click you.
Suppose someone wrote a filter for porn; would his filter be deemed to have accessed the porn. As the alarm went off poooorn, the cops came in.

Bad, or worse. Pick one.
On a bicycle for two, the passenger decides that they are on the wrong side of the road and begins pedaling backwards.
