yeah. I'm going to be an EE major shortly myself... I'm not looking forward to taking all of these classes over (Calc I & II, the intro programming and intro EE that I already took in high school, physics [that my SATIIs won't help me out of, grr...]), but oh well, enjoy the ride, right?
Well, I must say. You have the uber-large geek testicles. However, I have been other places. This time around, I turned down a lot of those "higher rated" schools (i.e. MIT, CalTech) because I didn't feel like putting up with the loans for school who didn't really have anything special to offer (accept more grant money). And the obscure accomplishments were not "hurrah hurrah for the program", I was just pointing out that UT can be a 'geeky' place too.
UT is my school. It is waaay underrated as a geek school. It's the #5 engineering school in the country, but no one ever mentions it. They have a lot of projects like this going (plus way geekier ones, like the robot soccer team that recently won a championship, the mechanical engineer's indy car team, and petrol's rig in the basement thing). Hook 'em horns.
What the media really wants is the ability to broadcast through my tinfoil hat. I'm just going to get upgrading though, to stay one step ahead of the man.
See the BU photonics building. It was payed for by DARPA's high energy weapon's research. It's the only earthquake proof building in Boston. And the permanent resident of the top group of floors is a DARPA lab, complete with full military security detail. And that's just _one_ program at BU. They have one the highest grant money/student ratio in the nation, and a lot of it comes straight from DARPA.
This is pretty much what my pet project (parasite, it's in my sig) does, except it does it for crypt and md5. I'm not really sure what windows uses. The main problem I have right now is actually with GCC under cygwin. It seems to choke sometimeson the large static arrays I use to speed things up. Works fine on everything else though.
Just because there is weapons research going on (and really, of Boston schools, BU has the share of weapon related defense grants) doesn't mean the want to hand over students to the RIAA. It's a completely different issue. No university wants to turn over students to litigation, that's horrible for their reputation and therefore horrible for recruiting.
They are being difficult. They say they will comply, because if they just say "hell no" they will face legal consequences. This way, they can buy time and hopefully put together a real, long term plan.
If Netscape sued MS and received $800M over what was essentially a no-revenue market to start with, wonder what a company which held over 50% retail marketshare in the massively profitable Office suites market only couple of year before the Netscape suit could sue them for? 1) Your marginal literacy is truly exceptional. 2) Lost market share does not a monopoly from a competitor make. They would have to prove in court that microsoft did something "unfair" to push them out of the market, and not just that MS Office was the more popular product. And, as it turns out, MS Office really is the more popular product, and had been for a long time (since Corel lost it's technical edge) not really due to any foul play.
wtf? she can ignore the clip. r-click on it and choose hide assistant. couldn't be simpler.
Actually, it could be. How about an option on the clippy pop up to stop further such messages? And you have to keep in mind that many average joe users are somewhat frightened by right click menus. They'd rather click and drag when they can, use the delete key, or use menu options at the top of the screen.
just take the switch from netscape's "Alt-C" for copy to Moz's "Ctrl-C" for copy, and you'll have your proof of what I'm saying. How does this have anything to do with consistent metaphor in the operating system/GUI? That is clearly an application defined behavior. Not to mention, the same hot keys would be used in netscape and moz under windows.
There were no subpoenas on file sent to AOL Time Warner Inc., the nation's largest Internet provider and also parent company of Warner Music Group.
And now I understand what is really going on. The RIAA is suing to hurt the business of their competitors, not in the music distribution game, but in the internet service providing game. I wonder if verizon could have avoided the hassle by opening an mp3 store ala apple, or maybe buying a small label?
It's good to see the Gamecube haxors getting in on the fun. I was thinking about which one I would rather buy, a GameCube or XBox the other day, and the main thing that makes me lean towards the Xbox is the better network support. Now, maybe, I'll wait out a see what these guys can do.
Hm. I wonder how long until some/. arm-chair technologist declares NASA a facist-Mac-worshipping-zealot organization. Maybe he/she will top it off by saying, "Well, if they really do use macs, I have trouble believing they could have possibly landed on the moon."
The real problem is that LGPL was designed primarily for C/C++ libraries. That is why there is so much talk object code, macros, inlines, etc... You have the option under the LGPL to include object files, instead of source files, for a work that using the library. This assures that people can change the library and re-link the program. However, Java, depending so much on run-time linkage, and really lacking object files in most cases (I'm sure you can make those Java compilers output object code), is pretty much forced to distribute source.
Hm, isn't ogg very fp (floating point, not first post) dependant? If so, this is just another one of those examples of floating point gaining dominance over integer ops. This may not be important to anyone else, but I fear for the day when all integer ops a performed as floats. I mean, for embedded/small system uses, wouldn't it be easier to use a format that is integer heavy? Then again, there are lots of ogg files out there, and I guess *something* has to play them...:)
I'm going to dip a little into the troll pond here.
Know your law. It's people like you how just throw around legal catch phrases that end up making the law so bent and warped as it is today. This is a civil procedure, so basically, the burden of proof is on the defendant. It's a little more complicated than that (it depends on the court in question, etc). So yes, if you really wanted to apply guilt and innocence to a procedure that as basically no concern for such things, yes, guilty until proven innocent. Civil courts aren't about that though, they are about leveling inequalities.

Total (Balloon) Information Awareness. That's right. I can see you, right now. By the way, put that down, it's disgusting.
Eh. That's what I was talking about.
Also see: slash crowd-- the physical manifestation of the slashdot effect.
No, lightsaber boy! You don't understand, we love you! You are a hero! You are a rockstar, even! Go lightsaber boy, go!
Oohh. Yeah, good point. And too think I got an 800 verbal. Standards really are falling (yes, that was intentional).

I want my hard drive perpendicular because it looks longer...err... bigger that way.

Does anyone have a BitTorrent for the commercials yet? I'd settle for Kazaa, I guess, but BT is so much faster...

If you're going to act like that, see if I ever pirate your music again.

To everyone who actually responded to this (I guess that includes me now, too): YHBT. HAND.
If you are an American, shame on you.
