In fresno, ca, you get a free 350mhz computer with a 350 engine block. I'm hoping to build a 3.4 ghz with 6 cores to match my 3.4 6 cylinder camaro. I wouldn't mind a 4x4 chevy truck with a 4-processor 4-core system that I can view on the windshield. Or may be a dual 4 core for my V-8 engine. Then again I can just paint flames on the side of my server and have the sound of a motorcycle on the start button. I used to have a server that would rev it's cpu fan when I'd compile code. Man, I need more blink for my server.. add some dubs to my mouse, and a specialty horn in place of the system speaker. Maybe connect my car alarm clicker to login to my machine. Maybe my alternator can power up my machine, but not with todays gas prices (I wonder how this will affect backup generators). Maybe my ac compressor can double for a fan.
After coming from an interview today, it could be because they have a lot of women working there, as most engineers can attest, are rather rare in most high-tech environments.
Have you read his slate of proposed new board members? They are all non-tech industry related people, often either lawyers or econonmists and one was Mark Cuban, who I've heard bad things about here on/.
One round through Cisco's Quality Machine should be more than sufficient to test the authenticity of counterfeit products, probably even from anywhere on the internet. I worked on some of there test automation systems and they chart how much is automated, the results and even where the problems occured and by whom.
At Cisco, you manage and setup your own systems, if you can. Sometimes you need coordination (mostly physical stuff) but no one really gets in your way of getting things done. You can create your own domain if you want to. Also, there are tools that enable global sys admin stuff to just about anyone.
I remember working on the now system http://now.cs.berkeley.edu/ . Its a distributed system and they have parallel programming languages such as split-c or titanium (parallel java) and it support MPI. I guess a network of those BEE3s would be called a bee hive?
I have a working application that I implemented with hopes of getting VC and selling the product, but that's seemed to become an impossibility for an unknown, hence I'm inclined donate the application to the Open Source world. I wonder if this would be a good channel for opening my applications. Its not that I want to make money on them, I just want my code to "live". Right now they're in the state of "a really good working prototype". Then again, i'm an engineer, not a business man or lawyer (can you say GPL?). I've created presentations below.. one is a visual XML ide and the other is a job site data mining application.
I would have to agree that this library is the best I've ever seen. I think its an effort to build a collection of every book that exists. There are very old books all over the place, and I even found books I heard about that I couldn't believe I found. I was able to get access as a summer sessions and concurrent enrollment student.
I had some 3 reference librarians looking in the San Jose Library in the Silicon Valley for anything printed about restoring my 1952 chevy pickup truck, and they were unable to find anything. I'd check the library at UC Berkeley (largest west of the missisipi), but they only allow students into that library..sheesh.. can I browse the library of congress catalog somewhere. By the way, I finally found something and it was in my Uncles garage - any help on any technical information would help.
I'm working at a company that wants to put opera on their custom stb based on a Sigma Designs SoC chipset, and opera does have a browser for this platform but what happened when I engaged Opera was a 'brick wall'. Aparently i can get their binary and run it on our linux based stb, but there are no drivers for anything unless you pay more for their SDK and pay even more for support to develop basic drivers that should already be there. For instance, it can't display on the screen because the frame buffer device interface doesn't exist, and must be developed or paid for separately, we're working with a group that already went through this, and what happens after 6 months and a bunch of money later is that the IR interface needs to go through the same bullshit, and who know what other hardware device interfaces need to go through this bullshit process, when the Sigma Designs SoC is pretty standard. It turns out that you probably have to pay more for every external IO interface such as HDMI, Composite, IR, Serial, keyboard..etc.. and is not install and go.. it's probably the same bs for phones.

I tried to join the military some time ago, and was given the response: I'm too old, have slight asthma and i had a broken arm one time and thats not allowed. I'm 31 years old and my broken arm and asthma certainly doesn't affect me when I'm coding. Also, I am a high school drop out, and no degree, but I've worked with Microsoft, Stanford University, US Department of Energy, Junjiper Networks and Cisco Systems and can prove it. Is the military going to be insistant about "formal qualifications and procedures" - if so, they will lose the real talent, as I'm sure many of the best are informally trained. I'd suggest a testing mechanism similar to MCSE, CCIE, MCSD.. etc and a stringinent background check. I'd drop my $100/hr contracting rate to help secure america, earn a degree and get into shape, but will the Military be "broad" enough to draft the truly competent - or insist that I not have ever broken an arm and can run a mile in the appropritate time?
I worked at slac for some 6 months and i remember them telling me they solved the big bang during the interview and they could see sub atomic particles visually. It was a pretty cool place, with posters from the 60's all over the place that had been there since the 60's. I actually worked with the guy who made the first cgi-script web page and he was telling me about mosaic how you had to cut and paste the link into the location adress instead of clicking on it. There was also a very weird office with all kinds of interesting old posters and I remember a book titled "quantum mechanics" by messiah. They also had a room labeled "Retire" that had a bed in it for taking naps, of which I did utilize. Seems as if they fill up an oracle grid cluster full of data from the detectors and mine the data to figure out how it all works. They were the slowest most laid back people I've ever seen. Just getting a white board installed was a long process that went through the carpentry department. I found it interesting how the buildings are laided out as the computing center is between the cooling tower and cryogenics. When they were upgrading the hvac systems the computing center looked like one big computer with huge manual fans at each entrance and we weren't allowed to move fans without the permission of the HVAC people. Also we'd always seem to know when power outages were going to happen ahead of time. I think SLAC uses more of California's power than anywhere else (some 1/16 or more) and they have the fastest interntet connection in the world, but at the desktop its a slow 10MB. M
I was once inside of Microsoft and called for tech support 2 times. Both times i was directed to a support person in india on the other side of the world from hp. The asked me to do an application sharing session with netmeeting and both times ASKED ME TO CHECK AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPT REMOTE CONNECTIONS. I can't imagine how many people actually did this, but i refused. HAS MICROSOFT'S SECURITY BEEN REDUCED TO ONE CHECKBOX?

Dang, I still find it hard to press the C-T-R-L-A-L-T-D-E-L keys hard to press at the same time before entering my password on windows.
Kerdal, i'm sure you know that was'nt my intention. I'm most certainly a patriotic american so don't label me otherwise.
Who here has a project deadline on April 1st? I've noticed patterns where deadlines are on holidays such as Oct 31, Sept 11, Easter...etc

I've got tons of other stuff like this, but don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions or directions anyone?
I think it's healty for other manufactures to make rippled potato chips other than ruffles.
Often specs are not specific enough to make a test valid. Spec bugs also occur when multiple featues affect each other in adverse or undefined ways.
Maybe its because old trucks aren't high tech enough for the silicon valley. =)
If no browser renders the page 100% correct, how do we know if the test is even valid?

So does this mean that I need to pay when I BM while waiting in line at a restaurant?
