Athlon 64 users rejoice! Today at WinHEC 2005 in Seattle, Microsoft announced availability of the 64-bit editions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
Ok. In academia, there are a couple kinds of articles.
1) News articles: "We make clean energy." 2) Academic articles: "X-Amount of Hydrogen, from bacteria a, in quantity b, with y about of power."
They'll publish their results in a reputable academic journal. It's publish or perish. This is just the candy article for the press. If you're really interested in the details, look at the author's pubs. If it's not there, check up in a couple months. He won't leave it that way for long.
Thank God professors get pulled into the trap that is Slashdot too!
I'm actually planning on changing my homepage to something other than Slashdot sometime soon (probably Google).
Getting drawn into flamewars on Slashdot is rarely productive. The articles are interesting (sometimes), but you really can't count on informed commentary anymore.
What about graduate students doing work under grant?
Obviously the organizations that provided the grant want rights to the work (it would be hard for me to apply for a fellowship saying that I retain exclusive rights to all of my research).
I don't really know if I care for the stereotype that truckers are all hicks. It seems as though life has a way of taking us all down various roads.
I had a summer job running amusement park rides, now I'm a CS grad student.
As for Slashdot fostering ones academic interests... I think that that used to be true, but not so much anymore. Also, many posters know quite little about which they speak.
Also, on the topic of becoming a sysadmin. Most admin jobs don't really seem to require a degree in computer science anymore. I would say a couple of quick certs and you could run an NT network. A couple Linux certs and you could run a Linux network. As for other machines... I took care of a number of Solaris and HP-UX machines, as well as a few more exotic OS such as VxWorks. That was all strictly in the territory of the programmers.
If you get a degree in CS, unless you research, or do something outside the field, you'll probably program.
Also, $65K starting is a bit high. The mean salary of students who have completed their Masters of Engineering degree (starting that is) is in the neighborhood of $70k. I've known seniors software engineers who made only a bit more. When I was looking for jobs, the reported salary for a software engineer (starting) was around $45:-/
1) Death. 2) Taxes. 3) The will of right wingers to take things away from others, in all situations that would apparently not affect them (you know there are people in the Christian Coallition who like their porn).
It is important to protect truckers from adult content. You know how sensitive they can be! The last thing that I would want to see after a long drive, at the end of the day, would be a naked woman doing something sexual. Instead, it would be far better for me to read Slashdot, or something of that nature.
Interestingly, I don't think that this would be too bad.
The problem in Natural Language Processing applications is generally the availability of training data with which to train systems. AOL is a large corporate interest. They also have a vested interest in monitoring their chat rooms, as they advertise their babysitting as part of the service.
AOL could invest significantly in having linguists tag chat transcripts. Perhaps they could create semantic frames for various types of romantic interractions (flirting, scheduling dates, net-sex, raging pedophiles praying on children, whatever).
Anyway, there isn't a whole lot of variety in chat transcripts, so the sparse data problems that ordinarily plague NLP applications can be somewhat avoided. It takes very little to identify someone saying A/S/L, and then someone replying. It takes only slighty more to notice that the one is 40 years older. Data mining records for such numeric disparities would be a simple exercise, and information extraction patterns to analyze this sort of data would be simple to produce, especially for such a trivial task.
Slashdot Mirror
Nothing.
It has to do with some kid making threats, then crashing his own computer.
It's main value is humor, if you have a real cruel streak that says that it's ok to hurt uneducated people.
Hrmm. I thought I was the first.
Oh well. Either way, look at my profile! No redudant posts, then 3 in a row?
I think someone's who dislikes me got some mod points and said "I'm going to mark everything he says redundant.
Honestly, I can't say that I've met worse... for sure, but I've met "hackers" of his "1337N3$$" often before.
That said... someone might could have said something... and maybe not let this get all the way to Slashdot.
This is true.
Interestingly, this would be true if it were the first post too.
The big question is, when did Slashdot start marketting to the segment that for some reason thing that a "First Post" can be redundant?
Perhaps that logic would hold more weight if the universe of music contained only 25 songs
It might be RealNetworks, and hey, you may have a problem with them (plenty of people do), but 25 songs/month = 300 songs/year.
Just how much of a freebie do you want from a service that ostensibly sells you music?
Redundant again... someone has it out for me.
Cripes, I stuck a joke in there.
class Gorilla
{
public boolean isMagilla()
{
return true;
}
};
Redundant? I was the first person on this story to say anything about it.
BUZZWORD ALERT!!
BUZZWORD ALERT!!
You are charged with not using the correct buzzword (however much more correct the terminology you have used may be.
The Great Chinese Filtering
should be stated as:
The Great Firewall of China
..ps Alex?
My guess is that greater than 50% of Slashdot now uses Windows as their primary OS.
:-)
My guess is that about 50% of those people think that that's a-ok. The others are in denial.
The balance use Linux, though for a mixture of reasons.
Not everyone is RMS

Oh, wait, don't RTFA... it's probably not worth the $250 ($50/page) price tag to you.
11 Sided Gamer's Computer
Hrmm, I don't know many 11 sided gamers. Most of us used to use 12 sided dice, until everyone started moving to D20.
Thank God professors get pulled into the trap that is Slashdot too!
I'm actually planning on changing my homepage to something other than Slashdot sometime soon (probably Google).

I'd just let it roll off your back.
Ok, sure, but what about the worlds smallest nanotube model?
More like it is a cube in a number of dimensions greater than 3.
No, it's accurate.
:-)
Come on, DRM technology, copyright banter. They don't want it to be more convenient. They want it to be impossible, so they can sell it back to you

I guess that there are three sure things in life:
1) Death.
2) Taxes.
3) The will of right wingers to take things away from others, in all situations that would apparently not affect them (you know there are people in the Christian Coallition who like their porn).
