Have you ever tried booting some of this memory with the default timings on a motherboard to find it will not boot with overvolting? I bought 8gb of OCZ memory this summer and could not get my system to boot till I took out some other memory from a Dell my company gave me and overvolted that memory in BIOS to 1.7 and than swapped in the 8gb OCZ. I should not have to do that, doesn't the memory specify what voltage it needs to run at; and if not, why not?
Come on fellow Mechanical Engineers, what do we need to see the core of Jupiter? Lets design it and open source it, because it will likely not be seen in our lifetimes.
Why? Just because something was one way when humans were doing it doesn't mean an intelligent system over time will become attuned to variables we do not even understand let alone know how to properly implement in an algorithm. I think we can do better than you say.
Are we in the dark ages of computer aided pattern recognition for oncology, get with the program peoples. There should be an open source program with 6 competing overly complicated algorithms and one that simply makes no sense, wrapped up in a GUI that requires extensive Emacs training, right now on Sourceforge that does this, sheesh. I want to see a prototype by next week.
Greenpeace only attacks things it wants to love, like whalers, nuclear power and apple computers. The Japanese have small penises as is well known, but of course if the Welsh ever were allowed to whale again they would pry break some of those weak vegetarians in half.
No, its more likely discrimination and not only the kind you are thinking about in the workplace. When a venture capitalist walks into a programming shop with his MBA that has taught him to stereotype people as much as possible to fit them into market segments the last thing he wants to see is a female programmer telling him how she is going to change the world. He wants more of the same and a woman doesn't fit into his understanding so he will balk, I have seen them do it repetitively to female engineers to the point of sending junior male colleagues to meet with these folks. VC is a man's game still and they do not like looking across the table at a woman who is more intelligent, has more education and is actually doing something with it while all he does is carry around sacks of money.
Too many parents worldwide use religion as a way to discipline this blurs the line between normative and natural laws. Some middle eastern and african societies have taken this and established broad regimes of terror based on their "holy" religions. Countries based on other ideologies such as humanism, socialism and even capitalism typically do not act in such wanton ways. These other sorts of countries may instigate violence and many times the violence they have instigated has been horrific but it has never been so shown to be so pervasively inhuman in modern times unless religion was involved. Serbs with their hateful xtian idealogy, Sudan and their arabs vs everyone, and the Sino Emperor Worship cult.
Steam is good for building up a library of games you can share easily from computer to computer and hopefully over a long period of time 50+ years. None of the other companies have the sort of character of Valve to last that long. I have no inherent problem with DRM if there is no malicious, invasive or outright trojan horse/spyware installed. Yeah, you can get the older games they sell on there for like 20-40% of the price you pay at Steam but games on CD/DVD media last me like 5 years tops. You are buying a service to download that game on computers across generations perhaps. It is a matter of preserving our gaming culture, years from now you grandchildren will be visiting and you will totally want to indoctrinate the little bastards with some demented video game you enjoyed their age. Would I like it if Steam hosted Indie and Open Source games for free; yeah, but I also have 4 terabytes of Raid 5 media with cracks as a backup.
By the way I just broke down all my old computers I was not using and only kept the power supplies and motherboards. The metal in some of these old IBM servers was insane like over 60 lbs in one. I had been moving them around for 6-7 moves without thinking. Recycling needs to gain some cred in rural and red state US. There are towns of 5,000 like Alturus, California that have like 10-20% of all waste end up being recycled. It is getting to the point where we could pry mine some of the older landfills. God knows what we will find though; we could suppose things like, a lot of dead bodies in plastic bags, naked pictures of your parents getting it on and the like. Mmmm, lentils.
I agree, tech support on campuses today can quickly become anachronistic; that is, if they are not have the requisite intellectual curiosity or do not have the cajones to spearhead new technologies like cloud computing (for distributed mathematical modeling), online E2E voting (for student elections), Educational MMORPGs and a list of other systems being developed now ready for deployment to the student population ASAP. You should have programmers on staff that can help contribute or partner with your CS department for folk that can contribute to these wonderful OS projects. It is important for you to realize that if you do not participate you are accepting other institutions philosophies of style, privacy and security that may be incompatible with yours or be forced to pay some contractor to customize it for you. You would be surprised how useful you will become when you start asking people not only what they want help with today but attempt to understand their needs well enough to plan ahead for what they will be clamoring for tommorow.
Stop playing WOW in the server room and start reading journals about UI Design, Human Computer interface and cybernetics for more advanced theory. Why should you study these journals instead of just reading the old faithful IT pulp mag, this website or some other "tech website"? Because you need to not only see what is coming down the consumer pipeline in a couple of months or be beta testing a new whiz bang software package; you need to understand where all this interaction is heading and how you can get ahead of the curve technologically by enmeshing your department in the active process of problem solving individual and institutional scale issues by being able to posit your own design philosophy coherently into the future and apply it cogently and adaptively as variables change.
I worked for a company that had a ton of custom robots crawl Google, Usenet, The Internet Archive and a laundry list of other places your name or moniker might of left a mark. People often use an email address that goes "clevernicknameonlyIwilleveruse789@blah.com" what these things spider for is that clevernickname... part. It was mostly to embarrass people with their sophomoric attempts at debate in newsgroups or to dig up personal websites from their teen years but HR used it too. It discovered one of the applicants for the job of CFO had used his clevernickname... to bitch and rant about his last job on some obscure financial site, needless to say he did not get the job but they printed out his tirade and posted on the BB.
The UK is the size and approximate climate of Oregon and it is alot easier to do any sort of wireless coverage in a country that is well populated with hills and mountains as both are; however, the population densities are rather low in the US as a whole and rather high in Southern England and Northern Ireland, and it will take at least a decade more before we see coverage throughout the western US. You can already get unlimited data for ~100 bucks a month with cell phone service from ATT, Verizon and the like. The separate plans suck though for the US.
Linear Algebra and Set Theory will get you through comp Sci depending on what you are doing. It is a real shame that they do not teach Linear Algerbra more at the HS level it is something that gives people a perspective about math that has many more "obvious" real world applications than the arcane calculus they teach in some colleges.
Have us engineering students, engineers and insane rocket enthusiasts/investors design a mission to mars using live animals to test as many technologies as possible before you even think of sending a human mission. We US engineers are either bored building endless varieties of consumer crap or worrying what are we will be asked to build in a war with Russia and Iran. I vote C, a moused mission to mars. Think of the merchandising!
Toyota is partially based in the US. Almost all the vehicles sold here are only for US and around 70% are made here. The engineering, manufacturing and most other operations are state side. Toyota if anything is an international company, something GM is still but for how long who knows.
..going to be owned by the Chinese within 20 years. No one doubts how revolutionary both companies efforts are in creating viable electric and hybrid cars, in the mean time they are being laughed at by anyone who has gone car shopping in the last few months with all the sales. Even with some models being 5-10k cheaper from the American manufacturers 90% of the time you can get a Japanese model that gets 20% better gas mileage, higher resale value and better crash rating. Who still buys American vehicles these days, my grandparents got a Toyota last year and my sister has a 10 year old Chevy pickup. Everyone else I know owns German or Japanese vehicles.
What are you talking about? The high energy gamma radiation is sure as hell going to make a lot of whatever is left after the explosive blast wave radioactive by ionization.
Yeah, but maybe 100's of thousands of neutron stars hurling through space nearly at the speed of light colliding would do it. No one fucking knows what kind of crazy shit aliens have; we don't even know what the United States really has anymore its been decades since nuclear weapon design was being tested for all the world to see; by the way, did you know they are working on antimatter weapons here already? The US Navy started an antimatter initiator program a little after September 11th to make the ICBMs in their boomers even more lethal, isn't that fantastic?
Us mechanical engineers and maybe an automotive mechanic but a machinist could pry do this for under 10,000 and in under a week if he has access to his own shop. Those machinist bastards are clever we need more of them instead of shipping their jobs overseas.
Why? The only thing you really need to borrow for is a house. If you can't pay cash for your food, lifestyle and gas from month to month you need to look at what you are consuming and a make a change. Some weeks I eat peanut butter sandwiches for every lunch (7 dollars for the whole week of lunches) but I have not had a credit card bill I have not paid off in full at the end of the month in 4 years. Do you really need to spend 10-30 dollars a day at lunch that is 300-900 a month, do you really need to drive to work because my commute at 5 dollars a day is 1/5th the price I would pay for parking and gas and does your kid, you or your significant other really need another whiz-bang gadget?
Exactly, United States used to be the envy of the world for the quality of its manufacturing and it is now the laughing stock from cars to computers from heavy trucks to heavy hadron colliders. The idea that any country can survive in this modern age selling services to other people that sell services to people that work retail is insane. 70% of our country's economy is based upon it and it can't last.

They seriously need to be taken down a notch legally so they don't lawyer up at every opportunity.

They bought one made in Indiana. Like isn't over 60% of Toyota's cars sold in the US domestic? That is about the same as a Ford.
