The US said they'd pay for the network given that it wasn't in foreign hands. Sounds like a damn good idea if they're talking about transmitting scientific data for the DoD like the article says, doesn't it?
The industry shouldn't treat its customers like criminals in the first place... They should produce the BEST product available rather than downgrade what they COULD produce in favor of making sure that their will destroy their computers if they try to listen to the cd they bought. Rather than pushing users into a new format, merely so they can be charged AGAIN, they should offer a new format that has an advantage for the customer.
A common algorithm (I believe it's used in modems) is the Widrow Noise Filter. I had to write one in a CS class. It's a type of neural net. The general algorithm for noise filtering is sort of machine intensive, so it's reserved for high end $$$ equipment (if I recall the lecture properly). This filter is a quick write though, and will get you set straight.
Interesting. That makes embedded XP seem rather pointless. I mean, the whole point of making an "embedded" version of your OS being to strip out stuff that's useless in an embedded system and perhaps enhance resource utilization.
Interesting choice of operating systems... That they would choose the embedded version of XP, which though I have yet to use, I would assume would be designed entirely separately from the desktop version given that it's designed, as I would assume from the name, for embedded systems.
They should have chosen a desktop version, since that's what the debacle is really over.
1) There's For Dummy's and in 30 Days books about every language ever written. Because of this, every person with a GED thinks that they can write software better than you, the person with multiple CS degrees/certifications/so forth, because they can program their VCR.
2) The client will not trust you, you are a software engineer. That stack you wrote, they don't understand it. In your documentation, rewrite all of your notes from your Intro to Data Structures course. When the client doesn't understand (after all, they don't have the prereqs), or doesn't bother to read it, they will mistrust you. Again, there will be a problem.
3) Your client will now give you THEIR idea of how the software should be written. Because of all of these tools that SHOULD be useful, they're sure that they have written you a design better than anything that you gave them, because it has circles and arrows. Most of them make little sense. Many of them are dangerously redundant. At any rate, the client will check you to make sure that EVERYTHING that they put on that sheet is in the code, and that nothing else is.
4) Forced by Corporate pressure, you will write this. As a result, your software will not work. Perhaps you should have read "Software Engineering for Dummy's" It all makes sense in there.
They are, they are totally useless and I wasn't going to do it.
Then my girlfriend said "oh, cool."..and I understood that sometimes I have to put away my higher education seeking prudishness and say "oh, pretty lights."

Whoa?!?! I don't know about that. MAYBE it's because it's his story and he wants to know what happens in it. I mean, if your fan fiction becomes generally accepted and screws up the story he is trying to tell, then he has lost control of his work. I mean, what if he kills Luke Skywalker in one episode, and you have him doing something in a fan fic that is set later?
I read this article before. They are comparing EULA's to form 1040-EZ.
For anybody who hasn't done US Taxes before, 1040-EZ is written to be SIMPLE. You have to fill out a different form if you want to do anything other than put in how much you earned and get a number back for how much you owe.
I filled out one of these in elementary school as part of a tax class. No offense, but if they are going to write an article saying that EULA's are hard to understand, then they should have picked a tax form that uses words bigger than 2 syllables.
I bet that a lot of these labs aren't "profitable." The average user, now, has little use for such devices. Most of my friends kind of wow over the x-window system, and that I can use my own computer remotely, or ssh for that matter.
So what happens? Well, 20 years from now, everyone will have keyboards over rf to their tv's with their computer interfaces on them. Today it's useful to me, so I have to rig it myself. None of them will want it for 20 years, because they don't have a "reason."
When I worked for the Navy we would only give PC's to schools once their disks had been completely erased. There was no protocol for handing down software either. All software HAD to be destroyed by CUTTING the media it came on.
I suppose that M$ would not approve of the fact that schools bought licenses of windows to run on boxes that would cost less off the shelf than a windows license...
M$ doesn't need to go open source, so the part about needing a service arm is out... they can still make money by SELLING their software just like most software companies do.
We can't rely on letters either. Since few people understand what this all means, or even that it's happenning, it won't be a problem in campaigns, and since those involved obviously don't care what the people think, they won't ride on the side of their constituents.

If you read on the solar lab front page, it says "let's think with us..." In that vein, I would like to offer a link...

ZModem forever!
Depending on the nature of the neural net, it might be able to predict patterns that let it guess when someone will get kicked in the head.
Open Sores Condoms?
Ouch!

IEEE/ANSI/ISO/POSIX... there is no other...
Any COMPANY claiming to own a standard had best yield before these dudes. You're not "standards compliant" unless you comply to them...

There's nothing quite as useful as a computer that offers me a beer while I read a web page.
After all, why would I want it to process what I told it to when it could randomly offer me alcoholic beverages based on my facial expression?
There are several rules of Software Engineering.
1) There's For Dummy's and in 30 Days books about every language ever written. Because of this, every person with a GED thinks that they can write software better than you, the person with multiple CS degrees/certifications/so forth, because they can program their VCR.

But where's the floating brakepad?!?
I've got to have one!
The graph compares it with form 1040-EZ... the one sheet thing that I filled out in elementary school as part of a math class.
We're not exactly talking about a form that I need to bring to my accountant.
At the risk of being redundant. I wonder how fast it runs?
. . or...my...grandmother...
I...am...sure...that...it...goes...fast...enough.
This makes up for all of the times that I cut myself on the sharp contacts servicing older Gateway boxes.
OUCH! You'd have thought I was the worlds worst butcher when I pulled my hand out of one of those.
M$ doesn't need to go open source, so the part about needing a service arm is out... they can still make money by SELLING their software just like most software companies do.
This appears to extend to ALL articles. No AC Posting at all?
Gosh, with this kind of intrusive adverstising, who in their right mind would use this site!?! It would be almost as bad as visitting Disney World.
...Oh, point taken, carry on. I'll post when I get back from the Maelstrom!
