If I shoot a bullet through the center of 3 pieces of paper all one inch a part at signifigant speed, I KNOW it will hit the forth one that I can't see if it's an inch away. Physics. And you can damned well bet that it changed things. (Note: I do believe in the theory of quantum *).
I agree with you, and was saying to their former employee that though they may not always do what seems to make the most sense, their system actually works (rare in public funding, eh?).
Nice speech. I'd like to know where you stand on this though, as I can't really see it.
As for the last part, I'm from Maine, currently live in Maine and am a student in its school system, and do work closely with the people who are responsible for the local school system.
Nice. Funny. Get over it. So it has an extra space. Damn idiot. I'm trying to do 50 other things and the fact that my fingers hit the keys a bit too fast is below my scope of caring right now.
I don't get one. But I still like the idea. Teachers at my school seem to be for it. And yeah - math, science, and reading are important. And I think that this will help a lot in English and science. No points for math really, but the other two yes.
Practicality is a nice thing, and I tend to aim for it. And I see this as practical. If you can sit here and tell me honestly that computers are not going to play an integral part in the future lives of students entering junior high and high school next year, I'll gladly shut up. But I don't see that happening...
Literacy is important - and technical knowledge has become a form of it.
I'm in Maine, and go to high school. We've been (me and school admins - the non-tech kind) anticipating this for some time. Most of the state is behind this, and it's another frontier being pushed that wasn't before. Maine was the first state to give internet to all its schools and libraries, and people laughed. Look - it's happening again!
The area where I live (Lewiston) has a high school that is tech heavy and accomodates other high schools in the region. We've found that computers help out education a lot. (Yes, I did say I'm a student. But I like playing with tech and get my hands all over everything). The laptops should be a further boost.
The idea is NOT to replace desktops, but to give people decent usable computers that they can carry. Nighmares will happen - they'll get dropped, stolen, broken, maimed, abused, and dead. What we want to see is if we can keep that to a minimum. And if it works, the wireless networks that are being planned should prove interesting. And if it doesn't work, then other states can save themselves the cash. I really believe it will work. And we're ready for it.
It came with my Mandrake distro. I played it. Then I went online, and played against other people. I got my ass whooped. Then I got beat again (and again, and again, and again). That's the history of Freeciv (from where I'm sitting).
Sure, we're in America, and we post news. Good enough for the Chinese to consider us a foreign news site. And I detect a bit of sarcasm in the end of your comment considering the reply you posted to your comment (Slashdot: Lame. Then again, you keep reading it!). Besides, with all the bitching we do about rights, we're as subversive to them as it gets.
They actually tried to convince me there was a federal law that says you can't sell a computer without an OS pre-installed because there were too many people too stupid to install it themselves. I'm only buying the latter part, and only a little at that...
Yes, the managed Cisco switches (and other manufacturers). By definition, a switch only goes to OSI layer 2 meaning it only understands hardware adresses. It can have an IP address for remote management (or other fun toys), but meets requisite for being called a switch without an IP. Did I miss anymore details?:)
Yeah, very wise indeed. And arp cache expirations on a computer DO get updated by arp requests - but switches don't have IP addresses - they only have to understand up to level level two of the ISO layer thing, which means they don't associate MAC addresses with anything but the port the device is on (and on that note, it's a MAC cache, my use of arp was a misnomer). Hence, they usually don't know how to send out arp requests...
Arp requests dude. They time out so when you move a computer it doesn't have problems connecting. The first packet sent out to an IP when an arp table entry on the switch isn't available gets sent to everyone. When the host replies, the switch uses that to update its cache. Fairly standard really. This isn't a problem if the host without an entry sends the first packet, but it happens. I'll post anything else I see as a reply to this...

Different meaning mostly. Philosopher's Stone will paint a different mental image for Europeans than Americans. Sorcerer's Stone doesn't paint the same image for us, but it brings us closer at least.
PS2 has space for one. Slightly non-standard, but a hard drive. Expanding that slot to take a stand 3.5" drive wouldn't take too much space (is it already that size?)
Client picks the stronger signal and latches to it. We're setting up a system in our public library, and use this to make sure that hosts have seemless coverage. Requirements: same ethernet segment (VLAN to cheat...), same ESSID on base stations, etc.
I don't like the idea of handing off your logs to this automated system. I do like the idea of trading logs with different companies or IT people (non-competing and VERY trusted, with no other conflict of interest as well). And absolutely unfiltered so that certain risks can be found. This service you speak of, however, doesn't quite fit that criteria - you're not learning anything beyond what they tell you yourself via other's logs, and there is no mutual interest - a very dangerous thing.
Please, let me know where you find a plastic digitizer (the surface you touch when writing that lets the palm know where your stylus is). And please, no laptops in the rain:)
BSD/GPL/anything where the code is available. Point is that the code is available to them, and to not make use of something (as opposed to not wanting to use it at one time and put it in at a nother) like this and instead spend $$$ on redeveloping something and releasing it 2 years later is dumb. That is why we whine @ M$ when they come out with something Linux has.
Because with Linux, it's usually free and done by the labor of people who figure stuff out on their own, whereas and M$ has proprietary access and money to buy protocls. If Microsoft gets something years after Linux, it's rather pathetic because the ideas behind it are like RIGHT THERE IN CODE and they still haven't caught on. At the least they can let in some GPL code to enhance their own system, at the most get one programmer to read it, and the other to go just based on the general idea given to him so that the code is fresh.

If mere observation ruins it, what the hell do you think shooting particles at the stuff is going to do?
