You can't blow your nose for less than 20 million at either Intel or MS. I know lots of stories of 50-100 million dollar projects that led to absolutely nothing. And these are companies that are taking in billions every year. This must be very low priority for them.
That looks like a sound and defensible approach to teach kids how to work in CODE.
What he is doing here though is teaching kids to work in WYSIWYG graphics applications. How the hell do you expect somebody to unit test a jpeg or a swf?
from the top of this page: "but is designed as a system of shared cars with kiosks..." nobody owns individual cars, you subscribe to the service and grab a car from a kiosk wherever you need one.
I think the GP post point is that Win2k was good enough for the "average user" back then. In the year 2026, we'll all be calling Vista of 2007 a POS. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't there people in 2007 calling the Vista of 2007 a POS?
And how is this different from what is currently available with PGP? We could just all agree tomorrow to not accept any mail that is not digitally signed right?
Anybody that thinks the EC study is relevant at all does not understand the first thing about the carbon cycle and the root problems with CO2 and the greenhouse effect.
The entire point of biofuels is that they are made from plants which absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Fossil fuels release carbon that has been trapped in oil or coal for millions of years. There is likely no way to tell from tailpipe emissions the difference between ethanol, biodiesel, and petroleum derived gasoline, and those emmisions should not be considered to be any indication on the amount of effect those fuels will have on CO2 and global warming.
yeah... no most of this article is not pretty good
Most of this article reads as if it were chunked out from a random essay generator.
"Executives should be looking for data compatibility when looking for applications on the Mac OS X platform, rather than looking for all the same software, says Jeremy Reichman, senior desktop systems engineer for the Rochester Institute of Technology. Reichman helps support about 15,000 students and 3,300 staff, 17 percent of whom use Macs.
"A lot of the interesting software for Mac OS X seems to be developed by small teams who are rapidly updating them," he says.
You gotta be kidding me, data compatibility? that doesn't even mean anything, any major system these days including ERPs and CRMs have a web UI. it's all compatible with every client out there.
And let me check, do you mean to insinuate that a lot of interesting software for *nix or Windoze is *not* developed by small teams who are rapidly updating them? You lost me.
Ugh this article is crap even for CIO magazine.
Patent law is an economic tweak that is intended to "promote innovation". Really? I was under the impression that patent law was intended to protect intellectual property. In the same way that real estate law is intended to protect greographical property.
The fact that protecting property makes it more profitable and therefore encourages the creation of it (read: innovation) should really be considered a secondary benefit.
Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, said Army soldiers and Marines are not forbidden to come up with new ways to do their jobs, especially in Iraq's ever-evolving battlefield. And he said commanders are given money to buy nonstandard supplies as needed.
Yes, but you have VisualStudio. That investment is a significant barrier to many... No you don't, M$ does give away Visual Studio tools in fully functional and free Express versions like C# Express
Granted, that would not help you with connecting VB6 access applications to mySql ODBC source, but that kind of interoperability is a tall order on any platform.
http://www.imagemagick.org/ open source, multi language interface, command line, robust. I know of more than one major operation using this in a production environment. It has more features than you will probably use and can be automated to do any of them.
I wholly agree, this is an ad for google and SEOs posing as news. to quote:
"Conventional wisdom says 97 percent of Google..."
"To find out, I contacted Oneupweb..."
Wired magazine and Adam L. Penenberg should be ashamed of themselves.
That this is the first recall of the Segway. For a product of this complexity, there are bound to be some bugs showing up, and this one seems pretty minor.
The most horrible thing about it clearcast is not making a dime
The company lost money every quarter last year, piling up an annual loss of $1.1 billion. Clear Channel also is shouldering $8 billion in debt -- the legacy of its deal-a-minute expansion spree. With a long advertising slump afoot, the company's stock is selling at about half its peak price of two years ago.
so they are becoming neither cool nor rich now that really sucks!
You are a senior in high school; your best option is to concentrate on being a great person rather than a great SysAdmin. Get drunk, fall in love, make some bad decisions, read poetry, make new friends. You will find that being fabulous will make you happier and get you farther in life than certifications or degrees. Incidentally, college is a great place to do that, not the only place, but a great one nonetheless.
I get into endless discussions with my comrades on the difference between art and design. Fundamentally, computer generated art is "art" because it it is a creative act. Wether it is "fine art" is apparently up to those that call themselves critics. I haven't seen your work, but I have seen many examples of what I consider to be "fine art" both in stand alone apps and on the net. I think some of the best examples are in piotr szyhalski's work with the walker art center: ding an sich
and the spleen if anybody is asking if "fine art" is possible in a computer medium there is simply no question.

wouldn't that be watt-hours per mile? (or more likely kilowatt-hours like the power company charges us)
