"Here's the algorithm, now, can you restate it ten times?"
Is it that, or is it, here is the alorithm, we are going to tell you how it works 10 times, so that you understand what every line is doing. Then you can make your own structures/algorithms similar to it. And perhaps one day you can grace us with an even better algorithm.
Whatever happened to that one guy in the Pacific Northwest that was planning on his own rocket, and it seemed had actually built his own? Rocketman or something like that? The one thing I remember the most was that the guy seemed to be on a fast track for a Darwin award.
Let me self correct - I think that the ammount of time that was being talked about (as a joke I might add) - you are going to absorb some serious amount of nitrogen. While I agree - coming up after a while can give you the bends, you stay under long enough, let that nitrogen get in there and your brain might start going batty.
I was thinking similar things. I mean as a certified diver, i know that it is not something you need to at least have some level of knowledge about pressure and other information about diving. I am sure the same would be necessary for this thing.
Personally, I think that this is a waste of time. The thing about scuba diving is how hands on you can get. I don't see that as a possibility with this thing.

When a blowjob is performed, it is generally done to something that is neither soft, nor hard
The what exactly IS it performed on?
But seriously, I think the sentence you were looking for was this: When a blowjob is performed, it is generally done to something that is neither micro, nor soft.
If you continue on the curriculum, CS 352 - Computer Architecture also teaches assembly. Depending on the section, you will either learn some IA32 or MIPS. I was also a EE undergrad about 10 years ago, then we were also taught 68000 Assembly.
LC-2 assembly is not bad, but that class is just a light class compared to what you will learn in 352. I would say pay close attention in that class and EE 316, very useful for 352.
I don't know about more secure, but very well entrenched. When you realized that nearly 98% of American homes have POTs lines, you realize that we are really not that close to them being done.
Trust me, there are many better things out there, but I think it will be a while before they become set in such a way that they are useable in everyday life.
I would say this - while you and I see the fuction of devices such as these, you are still looking at a cost prohibitive situation. The phone is so entrenched because of two reasons: 1- ease of use 2- cheap (regardless of the monopolies) Until a device for things like voice chat etc over the internet become really cheap and widely distibuted, POTs and other old technology will be around a while (just see that list of things technologies that just won't die posted yesterday).
I was about to say the same thing. I don't think that it is some new "mystical" idea of teaching assembly to students. I am currently taking my THIRD assembly class at the University of Texas. And I know that there are others to take.
I will agree with the parent post, this is not a new concept. Now teaching assembly to beginners, that might be new.
And I don't know if "great" coders know assembly, but I think knowing assembly is a useful tool in being able to program efficient code. If you understand concepts like division, how bad it is, what the computer is actually doing when your C/C++ or whatever language (that is not interpreted) is compiled, then you are well on your way to being able to produce efficient code.
Well not exactly true. You do get to watch it as many times as you want, during the "good disk" period. But after that, you just throw it away.
Now that all being said, I think that the EZ-D format had it's place. It allowed places like the gas station to sell disks. HOWEVER, they were on the pricy side. Make them $5, and then you might have something. I think it was not a horrible idea, just one that was not quite done right.
Oh, I think this is a very needless amount of work because it had already been done. Look at the Encyclopedia of Arda!! That already has a well compiled list of things that were differences between the books and the movies.

I don't buy this. I think that hiring managers like Buzz words. Degree, Certification, etc.
For advice for this person, if you have a job, get the recertification. It can help you justify other things like raises, etc. Plus, if you need to look for work, it is something else to make your resume stand out.
I have to agree. Black Island never got people's hopes up. Many knew that Fallout 3 was in the works, but it was under a code name, and never officially announced.
This list they have up is kind of lame actually this year, since many of the things that were on the list were announced ONLY this year. HL2 and Doom 3 both garnered votes (with HL2 making the top spot), but honestly, it is not like this game is really late. They just got the ball rolling for it this year, and all of a sudden it is considered TOP VAPORWARE?!?!?!
How about the HDTiVo? Announced in Jan 2003, and by Dec 2003, it is top 10 vaporware? UGH.
I think that Wired really needs to make put up some limits on what actually is considered "Vaporware." IMnsHO, the first thing is that the product must have been announced at least over a year ago (ie, 2002 for these awards). Just my $.02.
Well, I don't know if I would go this far. But if you read the article (which I would venture to say MOST people have not done who are posting here). This is not an article that says 'Kodak dumping film for digital'. It says 'Kodak is losing money, they don't make money on cameras, so they are getting out of that business.'
I don't see film dying for a long time, even in a consumer role. There is something much nicer having a photo, not a digital picture.

We HAVE to help this guy out.
No we don't. This guy broke the law. He is getting what he deserves.
Jail is not right -- what he did was mere curiosity mixed with the desire to HELP these companies fix their network.
While I agree this was PROBABLY his motivation, that is not a legitimate defense. He still broke into a company's computers, that is illegal. There are ways to help companies with security, breaking the law is not one of them. That all being said, you are probably right that Jail is not the answer. This guy has been very forthcoming with what he did, and the court should be lenient. Then again, a sure fire way to stay out of jail is NOT to break the law.
He did nothing of REAL financial damage. Please help him today (imagine if you were in HIS shoes!).
This is rich. If I was in his shoes, I would not be breaking into companies' computers illegally and getting arrested in the first place. This guy is OBVIOUSLY very talented, he could have used these talents in ways that were legal and still able to test out a company's computer security. I feel for this guy, but I can't condone is illegal actions.
Thank you for reading this, friends. We, as a large tech community, have to get behind this guy and show others that mere EXPLORING is not to be looked down upon. What if we didn't explore Mars/Moon?
Hey, no problem reading this. However, don't mix these two things up. First off, noone (that we know of) has claim on the Mars or the Moon. These computer systems DO have owners, and as such, you break into them, you are breaking the law.
I am not trying to be callous here, but I am making a point, breaking the law in the name of good is NOT ok. You have to be accountable. There are ways to help these companies out, without breaking the law. Lamo seems like a really smart guy. You would think he would have gone along more legitimate routes, but choose not to, for whatever reason. I am sorry, but I can't support such actions.
This guy didn't do anything wrong. He got access to legal information. Big deal. He did not have criminal intent, and that's all that matters.
WRONG. He says he didn't have criminal intent, but the fact is the actions he took were illegal. You can't let someone off just because they said they were doing this to help out. Then every criminal in America would use that as a defense, and if you let is slide once....
Sorry, Lamo needs to be made an example of.

I think nitrogen narcosis would be a bigger problem than the bends.

Oh never mind.
Oh forget it, this one is too easy.
Oh man, that was great. 1999 and 2000 comics about how LATE Duke Nukem Forever is. We are only 4 years later...
BTW - ever notice how the abreviation for Duke Nukem Forever - DNF - is also used for Did Not Finish?
Come on, admiting that he actually bought the game might have cost him his eternal soul.

Oh yea, the fact that he broke laws has NOTHING to do with it.
