RUM typically collects page URI, page load time, IP address, geo location, user agent, various other metrics of page performance, and others. RUM products I know are not designed to spy on the users but to show page performance including long term historical trends. Thus, the data is usually heavily aggregated as the amount of storage space to keep individual records would grow very quickly and is not what RUM users are interested in.
The term RUM is a pretty standard term in the application performance monitoring industry. And yes, it refers to the fact that performance data of real users is collected instead of synthetic tests.
If the instrument cannot attract funding it is time to phase it out. We can't keep running all scientific instruments ever built, even if scientific staff would like us to do so. As new and more powerful instruments are installed, resources have to be shifted over.
I don't see how putting engineers on political posts instead of letting them do what they have been trained for should be an advantage. Except, of course, if you have a surplus of engineers (which one never has).
You could have switched to Seamonkey. Same rendering engine as Firefox, similar but more conservative GUI. I've been using it for like 10+ years and I still do.
If the lotto numbers are picked as they're supposed to, then the process is completely random. There's no knowledge one could have to predict anything.
Now, if the picking process is NOT random, then who's at fault? The lotto company is at least as guilty as anyone exploiting that.
Look at WDDM 1.0 in Vista and to a lesser degree WDDM 1.1 in Win7. It fucked up 2D big time. I didn't see anyone warn me about the design flaw that WDDM was, either.
Yesterday I watched a TV show on German TV in which they used the Kinect system. It was broadcast on a major channel watched by millions. Two players had to play against each other in a quite unspectacular game. It was embarrassing, both due to the boring gameplay and the technical weaknesses of the system.
During the first game, suddenly the split-screen switched to a single screen such that only one player could see his avatar. Nobody knew why and the TV show host quickly reacted and said "well, now you had a training run".
After the second run one of the players complained that his moves were not recognized at all. He kept jumping all the time but the cameras obviously did not capture these jumps.
Intel and AMD will not suffer as much as Microsoft and other companies who have missed this trend. The desktop is quickly losing importance and with it are Microsoft's biggest cash-cows.
I live 2 hours away from Fucking. But I've never been there. I've read that the village is quite famous, but I wouldn't have expected to read about it on Slashdot.
This has nothing to do with the programming language used for teaching. Any reasonable CS degree programme includes a number of courses on computer architecure where there's plenty of room to explain topics like word length.
That must have been clear to Adobe when they introduced the concept. I don't see a way for any compiler (JIT or other) to automagically support a new instruction set.
If Adobe does not have the resources to offer their JIT compiler for all the main platforms out there (ideally any platform), they can't expect the world to use their stuff.
No. I was merely pointing out that the Java JIT compiler generates optimized code for the platform the program is executed on. Even if it is the same architecture the JIT compiler can decide if e.g. MMX or SSE is available or not and emit suitable instructions.
It is a perfectly valid and persuasive argument for anyone who argues that Flash lacks platform independence.
It may not kill Flash, but it is one more step towards its disappearance.
But still the parent was mentioning this rate in a way that was meant to make it sound high, as opposed to what he thinks is a low wage. This is what I am getting at.
$23 an hour for a highly qualified IT expert? I don't know about the US, but where I live I have to pay about 6 times this rate just for a mechanic who repairs my car...
I saw a short report about the two strongest beers in this list on German TV. They gave it to like six people, three women and three men, and none of them seemed to like...

Thank god you are a Slashdotter, so I don't have to take your advice!
You seem to assume that engineers and scientists are automatically immune to any selfishness. That's unfortunately very naive in my eyes.
Thanks. But you should have told me that 10 years ago.
I don't see how putting engineers on political posts instead of letting them do what they have been trained for should be an advantage. Except, of course, if you have a surplus of engineers (which one never has).
It's not enough to install it. You actually have to use it and keep it up-to-date!
Seamonkey 2.1 Beta. Seamonkey 2.0 stable has been around for a while. I use 2.1 beta daily and have no issues whatsoever.

Any Java VM that has been around for at least five or so years?
