Java programming courses did not prepare our students for the first course in systems, much less for more advanced ones. Students found it hard to write programs that did not have a graphic interface, had no feeling for the relationship between the source program and what the hardware would actually do, and (most damaging) did not understand the semantics of pointers at all, which made the use of C in systems programming very challenging.
Yeah, I just read a press release from the FAA blasting driver training courses. Apparently, flight students who just got their drivers licenses were not able to navigate in the air, execute banks, take-off, or land properly.
Students have to start somewhere. It's easier to start with simple stuff than to try to cram their heads full of everything all at once.
I believe it's exactly zero. There were early reports of some airliner that may have been shot down by a missile, but it turned out to be mechanical failure.
Commercial airliners fly too high and too fast to be vulnerable to this. They would only be vulnerable during take-offs and landings where it would be better to defend the airfields. Even then, there hasn't been a single incident.
This is just wasted effort. It would be better to spend the 40 billion dollars on training security staff.
Since public employees are paid using my tax dollars, then I and every other tax-paying citizen have an absolute right to know what they are up to.
That argument doesn't wash. My local butcher is "paid" by the money I give to the store in patronage. That doesn't mean that I should get to watch him on a webcam. Just because someone is a public servant, it doesn't mean that they have less rights then the rest of us.
A lot of police departments are starting to tape all formal interrogations to cover their asses, but what we don't get to see or hear are the "pre-interrogation interrogations" -- you know, those "he's not a suspect, he's not under arrest, we're just trying to get some information" interrogations?
There are two standards called DICOM and HL7. DICOM handles binary data, and HL7 handles more of the process and is the primary integration point with EMR.
With these a PACS (Picture Archive Communication System) forms the "database" of data. The PACS is actually more work-flow based which then stores the actual data on some type of highly-reliable data storage system.
These two protocols make up the totality of your health care experience at a hospital. Your hospital certainly uses these two protocols, so why invent a new one?
well if he can cock the crossbow with just his hand then it's not a very powerful crossbow. try a 90lb long bow and get back to me.
You must have pretty tough working conditions. We've never felt the need to put "ability to withstand 90lb long bow attack" on any of our purchasing forms.
I never "got" why people fell all over themselves about GMail and getting a GMail account.
The right features (spam filtering, threaded views, storage, labels, and access from anywhere), a pleasant interface, ease of use, and it's free. I am not aware of any other mail app or service that can match GMail on all four.
The "google is teh cool" cache also factors heavily into GMail's success.
Sure lets her avoid all the major problems too. healthcare, social security, the wars on various stupid shit, the national debt, china, the middle east, big giant corporations raping the world for profit. And all the other problems someone in power SHOULD be doing something about.
Didn't you pay attention to the last election? Those things don't matter. What matters is "family values."
But you'd probably be really glad you have them if you need them.
Assuming a monthly service charge of 16.95$, over a 40 year driving period, if you saved that money at an 8% yearly yield compounded monthly, you would end up with $59,172.58
I'd be really glad to have that instead, and I could stand being locked out of my car or lost a couple of times to get it.
I have to agree. Doctors are no more than body mechanics and walking expert systems. I'm sure that we could build a better statistical diagnostics program with a few years of input. It would be tolerable if they weren't so arrogant.
The link to "uses a keyboard programming technique developed in 1996" links to the TFA, which says no more about it than the link text. If you're going to title a link as that, then it should lead to the technique in question...
...considering that every contribution made to Wiki was made under the GFDL, not CC. Are they going to get permission from all of the past contributors to change the license, or are they going to throw it all away and start from scratch? They don't own the content (it was licensed to them under GFDL) so they just can't change the license.
Contrary to what many CompSci people think, the world is not black and white. [I don't mean to pick on CS types, but I run into this attitude a lot with them.] Rules are rules, and they should be obeyed and followed most of the time, but sometimes it's wrong *not* to break the rules.
I will spare you from the bad analogies (breaking the law to serve a greater good), if you want to know about it, see Kohlberg's stages of moral development. This decision is stuck in Stage 4 (conventional), if they had seen that there videos are serving justice through a higher moral conscience (stage 6) then they would have allowed the videos to stay.
I mean, if they want some free sex, couldn't they just go to a bar and say, "Yeah, I'm a VP of a multi-billion dollar corporation, and I make nine thousand dollars an hour. Let's take my jet and go screw in the hot tub at my 4th summer place."
Yes they can, and they do. The narcissism is so thick up there that they think that they can do it to anybody though -- employees included.

I'm more concerned about what happens when the tapes "malfunction" or are "lost."

They complained about it in Florida.

Except that goolge will silently add a header to your email which contains the GMail address which it was sent from: "Sender:"
Try sending an email to a hotmail address. It will say:
From: sendingAddress@gmail.com on behalf of yourFromAddress@yourDomain
It looks very unprofessional.

That has nothing to do with Socialism
