CIS 560 (Systems Software Engineering) at Ohio State University seems like what you want. We have to produce 500-1,000 pages of documentation. They give us the requirements for the project (assembler/linker/loader and emulator for a certain computer archetcture), and we in teams for the entire quarter on the one project. Some people do mostly testing and QA, some do mostly documentation, everyone works to come up with the design and clarify the "client" (professor) desires for the project. OSU has a very well respected engineering college, so maybe we are an exception, but in my experience, American colleges are as good as the German one you attended.
You are wrong. Client-side scripting and server side browser detection do not work because they make the error of trusting the client software. With some browsers, like Opera, you can have it identify itself as any web browser.
I do not live with my mom. I do not own a car. I do not buy on debt. I do have good medical insurance. I spend very little money on toys. The personal assumptions in your flame are all wrong. If people would just save up for things instead of buying things on debt they wouldn't have nearly the credit problems. Borrowing money and not paying it back is theft.
It is reasonable to assume that someone who isn't smart enough to manage his own money would mismanage company money. I never understood bad credit. Why would someone think he can spend more money he has and get away with it? If you can't afford something, don't buy it. Geeze.
Think of it like this. You can go to the soup kitchen for free, but some people still pay to eat in resteraunts. Opera is the resteraunt. IE is the soup kitchen.
Well, the answer to your question is very simple. Opera, in my opinion, is the best browser out there--better than any free browsers. They only way I can use opera (without bothering with adverts) is to pay for it. Slashdot can be had for free, but some people pay for it. Same thing.
"They can censor it if they want, even though that does get into a sticky legal issue. Once you start, you are libel for content under your control."
I see this a lot on slashdot, but I have never seen any evidence to back this statement up. What US law or legal precedent states that a moderator of a public forum is liable for what the public says? Provide a link.
I am not saying it is false. Bot MANY arguments on slashdot start with this as an axiom, however the trugh of this axiom has never been shown here, to my knowledge.
Small, dumb, virus-like robots that build themselves out of matter can be easily dealt with. Just destroy them with energy weapons. Fire your flame thrower or laser at them, and eventually you will wipe them out. They can't use matter from your weapon against you.
Alternatively, you can smash the little buggers with some form of matter that they are unable to use. I am not worried.
Well, at my university, our college of engineering is much harder than the college of arts and sciences, in general. My engineer friends all have to work their asses off to get B's. My girlfried and her friends (who are majoring in communication, education, etc) freely admit that our engineering stuff is much harder. I have a 3.2 GPA and my girlfriend has a 3.95, however she does FAR less work per course than I do, and she thinks I am much smarter than she is even though my GPA is much lower. At my school, engineering really IS harder and has less grade inflation. This is a public University and not Yale, though.
I think the point is, you CAN NOT run a business by selling GPL'd software. It is impossible. All it takes is for one person you sell it to to put it out on the internet. All GPL'd software can legally be copied and redistributed.
So, you could just put the jammers in baloons and float them 100's of feat above the area to be defended. Doesn't add much cost to it. What is an interesting question though, is can the US military change the signal GPS is broadcast on in case something like this happens? That would be pretty neat.
I am not an expert on the subject. At all. Forget I said Israel. Just assume that people were sneaking in to your country and blowing themselves up in public for whatever reason. This is something you would want, I think. And this has nothing to do with Jews because they weren't blowing themselves up in public places.
Jesus Christ, man. They are a democracy. They don't have a king who can use the system to stop his enemies. If their president abused such a system he would be voted out.
This help me with an idea I have been kicking around. Suppose every Isralie citizen and tourist carried one of these with them at all times in the public. In public areas, computers with, basically, webcams use video to locate where people are, then radio recievers use these RFID tags to triangulate where people are. If the cammera sees a person where the radio does not, that is a person who is not authorized to be there. This person would then be photo'd and checked against known terrorists or questioned by the police, as he might be a suicide bomber.
I can't see how else Israel will stop suicide bombing unless they only allow their own citizens in public areas, and this method would not be too expensive. And as much as I care about privacy, the situation there is life or death, and so more important.
Hacking a website is much more than graffiti. If you spraypaint the outside of wal-mart, people can still go in and shop. If you hack walmart.com and replace it with "shout outz" then wal-mart will probably lose hundreds of sales per hour to their competitors. That is very real money to these businesses. Hacking (cracking is breaking copy-protection) a website should not have the same punishment as violent crime, but it is definitely a more severe crime than graffiti, and deserves a much harsher punishment.
Plants stored energy from the Sun, then died and were burried for a long time. That energy still came from the Sun. If we can just figure out a way to go from plants to oil more quickly, we can plant fields and basically they would be giant solar pannels.
I think it is a good idea, anyway. The only energy that is not solar is geothermal and nuclear.
You don't want software to help the military because it helps killing people? I say, helping development for the military is a way to stop the military from killing people. The smarter and more accurate the military technology, the fewer unintended deaths and collateral damage. Much new military research is on how to stop people without killing them. Help the military advance and get away from using Big Dumb Bombs.
The Mozilla html editor is TOP NOTCH. It has never crashed on me. The code it produces is human readable! If you just want a quick, straight-forward HTML page, it is the way to go. Pheonix can't do that.
My uncle wanted a computer as cheap as possible (as a 2nd PC in his house). I had him order a walmart PC with Mandrake. What he got was a decent PC with an AMD Athlon processor, 256MB Ram, 20GB hd and onboard video/sound, along with a PCI ethernet card and modem, all assembled. When I came over to help him set it up, I just plugged in the keyboard and mouse and monitor (which he already had). It was much easier than building him one, and it only cost $400. Then he said he wanted Win2k instead of Mandrake... well guess what. The walmart PC cam with a single CDROM that had drivers for all the hardware for every version of windows! So 40 minutes later, he had a full Athlon system. I didnt have to install any hardware or hunt down any drivers on the internet. Walmart is doing a good job with their PCs.
I dont watch movies on my G4 anyway. If I want to watch a movie, I watch it on my TV where I can be comfortable. But I do enjoy the lack of DRM on my mac.
Well then, it is too bad for you that your computer is that bad. My computer screen is bigger than my TV screen. I have a nice big couch accross the room from my computer. My computer speakers are AWESOME. I watch DVDs and DivX on my computer all the time. Just because your computer is small, has bad speakers, and is in an uncomfortable location doesn't mean everyone else has your misfortune. Oh, and just wait until I have a projection monitor...
Hydro power is SOLAR power. If it weren't for the sun, all the water in the world would be evenly distibuted all over (well, neglecting tides, which don't matter for this). There would be no potential difference. Solar energy heats up water, making it go up into the atmosphere until it cools off and falls to earth again, but at a higher level, creating a potential difference. Gravity doesn't add engergy to the system, the Sun does!
delusion that makes people still think that "compilers are so smart nowadays that they can easily create better assembly code that humans" when that is and always has been patently untrue. People always underestimate the complexity of optimization.
The government is funded by taxes. Both citizens and companies pay taxes. Most companies can't use GPL'd code in their products. If they do BSD type licensing, then everybody who pays taxes, including companies, get to use the code. Using the GPL is just not fair to some taxpayers (the companies) while BSD type licencing is fair to all taxpayers.
You KNOW he meant 'of western european ancestry' when he meant 'American'. Chill out. To most people in other conutries, American=western european ancestry. I know and you know it just means born in the USA, so you could be african, asian, middleastern, american indian, or whatever. That's not what most of the rest of the world thinks, though.

If they start DOSing people, that is probably a violation of their AUP. Someone should warn them that the telcos will shut off their connections!
