It's a blog posting and not a paper in a peer reviewed journal. And considering how the internet works, many folks would pick up on that blog post and cite it as fact.
It would be equivalent to a cigarette company scientist posting things on a blog about the health effects of smoking.
It’s an odd statistic. How is that data measured? 90% of all documents? 90% of stored bytes? When they said “ever again” did they mean explicitly retrieved by name, or should we include free text searches in that statistic? How long an interval needs to pass before some piece of data is clearly identified as belonging to the 90%, so that steps can be taken to reflect its reduced importance?
Why is so much data being collected? They should go back and review what data they're collecting and why.
With this, I can listen to thousands of radio stations from all around the world, including just about every station you'll get on digital radio, in better quality and over 3G as well.
Alice and Bob both want to communicate but they don't want to be discovered by Mallory or by Eve
I don't know about this Bob guy. I'm thinking he doesn't want any of the women to know about the other women's access points. That way he can keep "seeing" all of them and neither will get jealous.
Even if they didn't tell them so, the fact that they kept the show in production is enough reason to believe they're making money on it.
The other thing is, if they're losing money and reporting profits to shareholders, then how in the World are their books matching? Wouldn't that be considered fraud or at least a violation of SEC rules? What about GAAP and FASB rules? Or are there exceptions for Hollywood and Government?
A college degree doesn't make anyone an expert in anything. You just learn the basics and the real learning comes on the job; hence why so many employers want people with experience and why there's still a few who don't even require a degree. Even then, many times, you'll be getting a job in a field completely irrelevant from your area of study. I can't even begin to count the number of people with engineering degrees who were writing business applications with me when they had maybe one programming class as an undergrad.
The other thing is, let's face it, a degree is really a ticket into the white collar work world - sometimes. (Look at the authors for Fine Homebuilding and you'll see a lot of BAs who went into the trades because they couldn't get an office job.)
A real education would be a liberal arts or science degree - just about every other degree is really training for a trade: engineer, accountant, programmer, etc... or a stepping stone to a higher paying trade: lawyer, doctor, or some other professional certification.
A college degree is pretty much corporate drone training; unless, you come from a wealthy family that can afford for you to got to school a become a 'refined' person.
If they have a decent bank behind their credit card or an AMEX, they weren't liable for anything over $50 - for personal cards. Business cards there's no limit on the liability. (Never get a 'business'' credit card. Use a personal CC and reimburse yourself.)
Anyway, if you went apeshit, they could dispute the charges as fraud. It's kind of a pain in the ass (faxed signed affidavit ) but if you have a decent bank, they'll stand behind you.
On the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_protocol I see presentations from 2004 and 2006 about reversing Skype, including its encryption. What's new here compared to the previous work?
Nothing. The references in your links were for academic and industry consumption. The Register article was for public consumption.
If cook them too long under the right temperature the volatile distillates will combust rather quickly and give you blacked batfish. Ahahahahaha..
That's a joke that only the Slashdot crowd would and if you tell it at a party, a party that has cute girls, you will just get vacant stares - unless there's a petroleum engineer in the crowd. Nah, that won't happen.
Groovy is a scripting language that runs in an interpreted language virtual machine that runs as an executable on top of the OS.
You CS guys and your "layers" of abstraction! I tell ya.
So does birth control to a CS guy mean banging some chick you met at the bar and telling your wife that the bar chick was just an abstraction and you were really making love to her? The bar chick was just a layer in your relationship?
Aside from the folks who are members of Mensa (Woods, Sharon Stone, Martin, Davis), those tests of famous people are mostly bogus. Lundgren himself has said that his IQ isn't 160 - he's smart for sure: MS Chem E and other intellectual feats.
No one has ever measured Einstein's IQ or many of those people on that list. Also, IQs over 140 are nonsense - meaningless. Also, it doesn't say what test or scale was used.
Or on the other hand, one of the most intelligent people of his day only scored 120 because the test does not reflect intelligence, not in any meaningful/comparative sense. You can quite easily study for an IQ test, repeat a lot of the same types of problems before the test for a while and you easily score much better than if you walked in unprepared.
Yes. From your link:
Binet had designed the Binet-Simon intelligence scale in order to identify students who needed special help in coping with the school curriculum. He argued that with proper remedial education programs, most students regardless of background could catch up and perform quite well in school. He did not believe that intelligence was a measurable fixed entity.
It was never intended to be used as a measuring stick. Unfortunately, that's something that's missed by the majority of people and what really sucks is that many of those people are in positions that affect many people's lives.
One of the reasons these computers are being chucked out is because they can't run the latest software - Linux is just as bad. You have to upgrade the OS to make it secure because after a while, the OS isn't patched for vulnerabilities. ex: I had a machine with RH 8 on it and I wanted to upgrade to Fedora for a more stable release and I couldn't because, the processor being too and lack of memory. I couldn't find any memory for the damn thing - at least reasonably priced (New memory is actually cheaper than the old shit)
Windows will continue to bloat up and so will Apple's OSes. Why doesn't the Linux community make a nice slim and secure distribution that will run on a 486/586 with only 256M of memory - or less?
I've been thinking about a non-profit for recycling these machines. Many many poor people could use them.
I can see it now....
Scientist: We developed Hyperdrive!!
George: Nope...I did...didn't you see my movie...geesh.
I think George is heading down the path of the Dark Side....
Um excuse me! I represent the Roddenberry estate and it's obvious that it is "Warp" drive NOT hyper drive. See you in court!
"fucking" is a verb. To use it as an adjective or adverb it's "fuck'in'; as in "fuck'in huge", fuck'in gigantic", fuck'in expensive", "fuck'in fast", etc...
Is this how screwed up NASA is, reduced to releasing video games as opposed to sending people into space?
It's a master recruitment plan. See, kids think they're playing a game but in reality, they're being trained and the best of the best of the best will rise until one day, via their "game" they're doing actual exploration without realizing it. I hear they're planning a military version of this too.
The only thing you do with Habitat is frame, plant, siding, roofing and painting. That's it. They don't use any special techniques or materials and there's plenty of information and websites that describe how to do that.
Secondly, Habitat work sites are horribly managed: they're dangerous. You have way too many people running around who don't have a clue and it's too easy to hurt someone or get hurt. I as doing my job hammering and someone decided to stand behind me and help and I almost took out his face with the framing hammer. And because there's so many people, you end up BS'ing with other folks - there's just not enough to do. The best build I was ever one was this church that needed an extra hand. It was just a dozen folks including the homeowner, we worked really hard and you felt like you were doing something. Unfortunately, with this economy, they don't need the extra help and I refuse to work on other teams with more than a dozen people; which means, I don't volunteer anymore.
No biggie. They have so many people wanting to volunteer that it's hard to get a spot as it is.
That show should be the direction of which way to go.
Train tubes or aircraft fuselages were not intended to live in. They will be energy pigs: little insulation, drafty (caulk? Hah!) the metal will conduct heat, etc... Any environmental "savings" by using material like that will be eaten up by wasted energy.
Now going the path of the parent, you'll have a much better chance of being energy efficient, complying with building code, and reusing building materials.
One of the biggest wastes in building is demolition: folks just throw old homes into landfills. Tear it down. Put the crap in dumpsters. Haul it away and dump it into a landfill.
At least here in the states, there's a growing trend of recycling homes: disassembling homes and reusing wood, copper, wire when they can. You'll have to look around or disassemble some old houses yourself.

It took about 20 years for people to really come around to attempting to recycle anything on a regular basis
A lot of that was legislated.
We’re all counting on you.
Surely you can't mean that.
If you're outside, you should, you know, be outside, doing outsidey kinds of things.
You mean like: masturbating, having sex with animals, anal sex, sex, peeping, ... things like that?
I can see it now.... Scientist: We developed Hyperdrive!! George: Nope...I did...didn't you see my movie...geesh. I think George is heading down the path of the Dark Side....

Still not as big as fucking big numbers.
"fucking" is a verb. To use it as an adjective or adverb it's "fuck'in'; as in "fuck'in huge", fuck'in gigantic", fuck'in expensive", "fuck'in fast", etc...
