Keep it up and getting your MD degree will be worth about as much as most IT certificates. You can buy copies of most of those tests online from companies that somehow steal the cert test, probably using the same method these doctors are.
It looks like they've worked out a possible solution to clearing out debris in LEO.
A small fleet of net-flinging spacecraft could clear every big piece of space junk out of low-Earth orbit within a dozen years, according to a researcher working on the concept.
Each spacecraft, known as an ElectroDynamic Debris Eliminator (EDDE), would capture orbital debris in a net, then drag the junk down out of harm's way. The EDDEs would draw their power from the sun and from Earth's magnetic field rather than rely on costly chemical propellants, helping keep costs down, said Jerome Pearson, president of Star Technology and Research, Inc.

Just curious, given all these advances in JS speed, are there technical reasons why stuff like Python, Ruby and Perl aren't getting similar improvements in speed?
Python, Ruby, and Perl are all server side scripts as opposed to Javascript which is run inside the client's browser. I'm sure the run speed of the other languages is improving over time, it just isn't in the spotlight that the browsers get.
Kind of funny (and rather sad) how instead of fighting the censorship they would rather just have everybody under the same censorship...yey everybody loses.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have mostly correct information, only because I don't want to lose my domain over something like this.
What I really hate about having all this information public is I get a lot of spam (both email and snail mail). Email isn't a problem with good filters, but there isn't much you can do to "filter" out the snail mail, you at least still have to throw it away.
Spammers must love the whois database, and they'll love it even more when all the data is valid.
The problem with bittorrent is that a lot of users disconnect as soon as their download is finished. Won't this be an even bigger problem with game downloads (specifically multiplayer games) since even if the users knows they should stay connected afterwards, they might not since it would lag their game?
For instance, a simple read of a 500MB file during a streaming write with a 1MB block size on my Xeon-based test system took 37 seconds with v2.4.23, and 3.9 seconds with v2.6.
That is a pretty huge difference, could it be that he didn't have DMA off on the 2.4.23 test box while it was on for the 2.6 box? Can anybody confirm this?
If the only reason you aren't buying new cds is because of the RIAA, why not buy from independant artists?
CD Baby has a great selection, and actually has pretty reasonable prices too. You can even browse by location, which is really is raelly nice to check out groups that around you.
Each night, when everybody has gone home, just randomly delete a few files off of each users hard drive. Eventually you'll hit a file that they really need and they'll see the benifit of ritutally backing up everything they need.

The original Doom/ Doom II were scary

E3 Doom III Preview
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Even if it wasn't the intent of Doom I/II they were both somewhat scary. I still remember playing Doom late at night - with all the lights off and the sound WAY up - and just beings scared shitless when an Imp or some other god aweful creature makes a sound just as you round the corner run smack into their ugly face.
Boy those were the days =)
I can't wait for doom III, it sounds and looks great.
There are only a few forms of expresion--it doesn't have to be speech--that are not covered in the First Amendment. These are:
FIGHTING WORDS
LIBEL
COMMERCIAL SPEECH
OBSCENITY
And that's it. There are a few games that get caught under obsenity, which was defined in the Miller Vs. California case as something that:
(1) the average person, applying
contemporary community standards, would conclude that the work, taken as a
whole, appeals to prurient interests;
(2) it depicts sexually explicit
conduct, specifically defined by law, in a patently offensive manner; and
(3) it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
Here is a good source of information about the First Amendment.

I found this review to be much better than Katz, then again I'm sure a couple monkeys jumping on a keyboard could produce a better review than Katz.
I've been using Opera since the 3.x days, back when it was only offered on Windows. Now it is my main browser for linux, and it works for 95% of the sites that I visit. Opera is one of the very few programs I'm willing to pay money for, in fact I am grateful that they actually made the effort to port their browser to so many different platforms.
Three are a few things I just can't live without in a browser now:
1. Mouse gesters. Once you learn them you will *NEVER* go back. In fact, whenever I'm using one of those other browsers I end up trying the mouse gesters (which of course does nothing).
2. Tabbed windows (I know most of the browsers offer this now, but Opera has always had it).
3. All those cool search boxes/quick links you can customize and put into your personal bar.
4. The main search box (deafaul google of course but it can be anything you want).
I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. My only gripe is that Opera sometimes crashes, although the newest version 6.0 B1 hasn't crashed on me once yet (although it has only been released a few days ago).
giFT (which is now GNU Internet File Transfer) has implemented OpenFT and its now working quite well in a good "alpha" state. It still needs work, but it is getting better every day. Check it out, it's definitely headed places.
Fortunately most people in a video game store are like 12, so I can destroy them with my mind bullets.
At least CmdrTaco has found some group of people he can compete with and beat.

Half the time Siri doesn't work at all for me
At least Siri isn't wrong half the time for you, that's pretty good compared to my experience.

What magic material will they make this net out of?
This PDF slide deck has some additional details. It describes them as "50-g mesh nets", I couldn't tell you how they are supposed to work.

For an in form spell checker take a look at spellbound It works on mozilla/firefox. I use it all the time, it's awesome.

Now the question is really how long inbetween somebody discovering the problem and the time it takes them to actually write the patch.
What's even funnier is that when these always upright ships lose power they "lose" the ability to stay upright and drift on their side or upside down.
