That schematic, as described, is pretty much useless. 50 million transistors with no annotation to mark which ones belong to which part? (Is this cache? Is it part of the ALU).
For an open source analogy, that's pretty much the same as getting a handful of.o files.
"by demonstrating that the current situation is an arms race that is not sustainable"
I'm not sure that that is actually true. I'd say the Internet has been somewhat popular since around 1996. Thinking back over the last 10 years, I think that there's been considerably fewer "crippling" viruses and such as of late. Maybe the current arms race is actually petering down.
"by waiting for a day when Grandma and Joe Sixpack care about computer security enough to refuse to buy anything that doesn't deliver it."
I doubt that will happen. It would require considerable "re-education" of the users to accomplish this. From doing tech work in the past, I've found that users tend to actively try to circumvent any safeguards that are established (for example, having a separate Administrator and User account in XP), simply because it is less convenient when they're trying to install spyware:D.
The reason for this? When Joe Sixpack buys a computer, he wants to feel like he's in control of it. This might be the turning point, because DRM could result in consumers realizing that they don't have control of the things they've bought.
Ours is a kind of "Choose your own adventure" curriculum. If you want to do Software Engineering and prepare yourself for doing project management, you certainly can. If you want to learn the intricacies of designing and implementing an Operating System, you can do that to. If you'd rather do the hardcore algorithms and intractability courses, feel free. Want to learn how compilers work? We do that too (well, we did until that faculty member retired...). Graphics? Sure!
I think that my only complaint about this setup is that it makes it very hard for future employers to differentiate what skills and competencies you have based on your degree; we all walk out with the same piece of paper. Fresh out of school, you can have the guy who took the "easy" classes and got an 85% average, or you can have the guy who took all the hardcore classes and got a 75%. What's the difference? The guy who took the easy route has "Great Distinction" on his diploma...
The Windows XP license does in fact allow you to install Win2K instead. The XP license you took home though does actually belong to one of the Win2K boxes at work.
Good luck with that! People have been looking for a way to curb sexual promiscuity since the dawn of time... (that is, those who want their partner to remain monogamous).
You've been had. Dow did not make that statement. Have a look at the wikipedia entry for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_Disaster . In particular, scroll down to the bottom and read about "The Yes Men". The statement you quoted was a hoax.
I've also seen python used in non-computer-science academia, because of the simplicity and cleanliness of the syntax. It really just looks like executable pseudocode (well, until you get into some of the more exotic features of the language)
Yeah, if you play your cards right, Saskatoon living can be really cheap.
Rent: $325 Food: $150ish (I usually try to eat well) Car/Gas costs: $0 Internet: $20
I live across the street from the university. Work there in the summer, study there in the fall, winter and spring. I mooch off my next door neighbour for rides to go get food, since he usually needs to get food too...
Assuming you go in with the knowledge of exactly what you want, you'll have no problems.
And it's not DOA. Or counterfeit. I'm not 100% sure about the counterfeit thing, but I seem to remember hearing something along those lines from the Regina store. Could be wrong.
[a] I had a sales-drone at Computer Boulevard here in Winnipeg just RAVE about RealTek cards. I said I really wanted 3 Intel or 3COM cards for a new work proxy server and he said 'Why? RealTeks are way cheaper and run at the same speed!' Retard.
Computer Boulevard, as in what used to be Techtronics? I wouldn't take a single thing they say as fact, but that's just based on personal experience...
Hahaha. They (mostly) use those on the coast. The people on the coast are... a bit different:D
Canada hasn't gone entirely metric though. In construction, feet and inches is still used all over the place. Also, older adults tend to still talk about temperature in fahrenheit instead of celsius, but that's starting to disappear too.
I'm working in a Biology lab this summer, and man, is it ever nice to deal with people who consistently use metric and don't bat an eye about it. "Make it approach at 3m/s from a distance of 12m, and make the target 7cm in diameter." Gotta love it!
Sorry folks, it takes so much more than common sense for a good idea to be adopted. Metric system is, on paper, a US standard for measuring. bought a liter of gas lately? how many KM did you drive getting to work today?
Sorry, I found your comment really funny. Work is only about 1 km away (km should be lowercase), and because of that I haven't bought gasoline for a while. I have heard, however, that it's sitting at about 93 cents(CDN)/litre right now.
I think your analogy is a tad flawed. You state that "there are 3 people who are serious about promoting a qwerty alternative". As far as metric goes, it's the REST OF THE WORLD supporting it.
I lived in Residence for 3 years, and got to know the Food Services staff quite well. Although none of them called me "sir", they would routinely greet me by name and have conversations. Admittedly, some of them were less friendly with other undergrads, but as the parent said, it's all a matter of respect.

You're talking about TLEs, so you must have some kind of "rocket science" background :P

Our MSDN-AA doesn't cover Office. YMMV.
You're close. I just scratched this on an envelope, so bear with me. It may not be 100% correct.
4 x 2500mAh = 10,000mAh
1.5V per cell -> 15,000mWh = 15Wh = 54,000 Joules
To charge the batteries in 1 min:
54,000 Joules / 60 seconds = 900J/s = 900W
That's not that bad at all. It's about the current draw of a small microwave.

It is simply my position that knowlege has, or rather, ought to have, no monetary value since it takes nearly zero effort to reproduce.
While it may take zero effort to reproduce, it DOES take a lot of effort to create in the first place. How will that creation effort be repaid?
However I don't think that's what the grandparent poster, or indeed anyone else, means when they say that.
:D
Perhaps, deep inside, that that's what your boss is really saying! I mean, if my employees would work 10% extra unpaid overtime, I'd be overjoyed!
Hahahahaahaha. So true.
First of all giving "110% or more" is impossible and it's a stupid expression which I wish people would stop using.
How so? Let's say you get paid to work 8 hours/day, and you work 8 hours and 48 minutes/day because you stay late for unpaid overtime.
8hr48min = 8.8hr
8.8hr / 8hr = 1.1 = 110%
Maybe I'm missing here, but I believe that that would be giving 110% of what you're being paid for.
no, like this
Did you actually investigate the link you posted? Many of the actually say "not affected" right in the title...
A friend and I tried the same thing and got the same results.
