If her sponsors are paying for her lessons, her training, and her equipment - they have more rights to her name than any olympic body. She wouldn't be at the olympics without her sponsor. The IOC did not pay Lindsey Vonn anything - if she won a medal and it was decided that medalists receive a cash prize (as the US olympic comitee has done in the past) then that was her earning, and it could have gone to anyone just as much as it was her, so its not considered payment.
If I were Uvex, I would counter-sue, claiming that they have more right to the name.
They probably didn't debug it much, but in actuality - most of it is pattern recognition. If you look straight down the corner of one Rubiks cube, you will see 3 faces of it, and that is all you actually need to solve the Rubiks cube. All the pros merely remember the patterns and the steps required to solve each pattern. Rotate the cube 90 degrees and the pattern still exists, even though things are in a different shape.
Really, the programming side of this isn't that impressive once you know how Rubiks cube solving is done. I'm more impressed at the speed, which I've normally found Lego technic and Mindstorm products to be a little laggy in commands and slow to operate, keep in mind though, that was the stuff I used like 7 years ago.
Hey, I don't have an Iphone so I wouldn't bother to check. But then that just means Buzz has headroom to grow bigger than twitter.

Two Scoops of Buzz
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Not to mention there's less motivation to go to a new social network when there are existing ones already set up with many people using it. I highly doubt Google can go far here.
Eh thats what people thought with MySpace - but look at Facebook now.
Google, being the power house that it is, could easily build the apps and operability that Twitter has. Except for ONE snag:
I think the biggest thing holding it back will be its competitors. Given that Google has broken into the Smartphone market with the Droid and all that - I doubt Apple is going to approve any apps that let you update your Buzz.
You can make Buzz a billion times better than twitter and implement new features, but if the iPhone holds a reasonable market share, and the iPhone doesn't let you update it, it's not likely to take off.
Inversely - if somehow this DOES become more popular, an odd occurence I couldn't see happening, iPhone sales could drop unless they allow an App for Buzz.
And This page is probably your best bet by going through email (since they don't have a Customer service email) - Choose your region and let it fly. If they get multiple reps getting multiple emails its bound to send a message.
The difference between that and this is that generally, you have to stalk someones facebook status to notice when they're out of town, and thats when you strike.
Developers wrote a tool to follow tweets and then inform its users "This person is gone." - Basically automating the step of following people and sifting through tweets.
I don't think I'm overestimating at all. 11 Million WoW subscribers means probably 5 million SC2 purchasers right off the bat. Than the SC1 avids and WC3 players going in for SC2, and the professionals in Korea and such... 11 Million is not an unreasonable amount to expect.
1 Race per game - episodic like content - helps pace storylines (No one complains that a season of 24 takes 24 episodes, do they?)
As for the lack of LAN play - this kind of thing doesn't stop World of Warcraft from functioning. Lets face it, If you've got 11 million guaranteed buyers based on the fact that they meet the requirements and want to play your game - you'd implement it the same way Blizzard is to maximize sales.
Well thats what I'm saying - a Platter with a single hole in it thats only 5% of the surface area means that 95% of the bits are still there, even if it makes the disc inoperable from a regular standpoint there are methods to read the bits in unconventional methods.
So unless there are multiple holes drilled in, or its shattered, or melted, or had a rare earth magnet rubbed along the surface, recovering data from a damaged platter is not impossible, though sometimes impractical, depending on the data.
Nothing really technical was simulated. You've got the right idea. A bunch of people sat down, each were sat down and told their duties and the scenario. Ready set go, collect the end result.
Obviously... Someone ask the GP if he donned his tinfoil hat...
Don't be ridiculous, thats to keep the aliens out of my head. The government uses the fillings in my teeth as a radio transmitter for my thoughts.I lined my ski mask with Lead.
I should think actual panic would induce the cell-networks and governors (amongst other groups) to actually concede the control they may not otherwise concede, especially when it's a wargame and the parties involved aren't the real parties.
Yeah - After actually reading the article, it seems like it isn't to suggest that we aren't technically secure - more that the structure of power isn't secure. However, I'm sure in an actual scenario, people would concede control, and if not, other people might step over their bounds if they understood it as a real emergency. If the attack is imminent I highly doubt Verizon wouldn't give control to the Military in the interest of national security.
Better yet, improve relations and economies on both sides of the border, and make such breaches meaningless while still enforcing your limited security goals - you'll be serving all your underlying motivations at the same time
Truer words have never been spoken. Instead of treating everyone like an enemy, try making everyone a friend.
There's a lot of things they aren't prepared for. They beef up airline security while neglecting the security of pipelines in Iraq and Iran. They worry about polution but don't stop the corporations from doing so.
I'm not saying that they aren't NOT prepared - just that this is going to be abused beyond all recognition. Like how they weren't prepared for a terrorist attack and now I can't bring more than a litre of liquids onto a plane. However - none of that stops guys from setting off bombs in their pants.
This way - the demonstration shows that they need to implement more "Security Features" that encroach upon the rights and freedoms of the average American.
Even if you're a complete dolt and don't lose all of that, you can still recover data with some sophisticated technology. The hard drive might claim its empty but the bits are likely still in their last position. (Ever noticed how clearing the partitions off of your hard drive is instantaneous?)
This is why professionals can still recover a large chunk of data from a hard drive even if you used a drillbit to punch a hole in it. .
Problem is that there are some blurs between what is theory and what is technique - for example, would you consider object oriented programming a theory or a technique? It's a little bit of both. C# will become dated, so I'm not going to spend my life just in that field, but how long until Object Oriented is replaced by something even more versatile? Or when it evolves past inheritance into something more fluid rather than structured? As computers get more powerful more implicit styles can be adapted, more cross referencing and multiple inheritances.
I have very little doubt that -EVERYTHING- I learned in school will be out-dated by the time I am 40. 20 years from now, programming will be different. Like 20 years ago compared to today, only more exagerated.
I have no qualms with misissuing words or non-words. And you shouldn't neither. English is beautiful in the way that you can butcher syntax and grammer all to hell, and the message will still usually be understood.

All I needed was 6 different paint brushes dipped in 6 different colours.
Yeah, as opposed to the 8 they had before. I don't get it either.

How was slashdot going to make money?
Advertising.

And a dime for every dupe...

Suppose I wanted to get into writing drivers -
1) What are the things I'd need to know? Languages, Theory, Techniques
2) What are the things I'd require? Testing environment, IDE if applicable, Development kits, etc
3) Any Reading material? A beginners guide, reference material, that kind of stuff.

Maybe I shouldn't trust the North American Certificates either, since I don't want my government spying on me either.
As long as the Chinese CA only deals with China, I have no problems with it. Any of the certifying agencies could be puppets for anyone.
It was at Blizzcon. I believe they gathered enough info there to do more work, and will release that beta when all the classes are finished.
