You're talking about the 2011 Mazda2, not the Mazda2 with the "SKYACTIV-G engine." While the 70mpg is high, because it is on the "Japanese cycle," it will likely hit the mid 40s under the EPA standards.
Finish your degree as fast as possible. You don't want to burn any extra enthusiasm on anything that won't get you out of school. As it is, you will need every last drop.
"When Congress passed a new energy law two years ago, obituaries were written for the incandescent light bulb. The law set tough efficiency standards, due to take effect in 2012(?), that no traditional incandescent bulb on the market could meet, and a century-old technology that helped create the modern world seemed to be doomed."
"But as it turns out, the obituaries were premature."... "The incandescent bulb is turning into a case study of the way government mandates can spur innovation."
"There's a massive misperception that incandescents are going away quickly," said Chris Calwell, a researcher with Ecos Consulting who studies the bulb market. "There have been more incandescent innovations in the last three years than in the last two decades."

So it would seem that GE just doesn't want to invest in the US and instead make the same crap it's already making more cheaply in China.
We used a Stanford project called Clack in my Networking and Internet Protocols class. We could setup virtual networks and visualize traffic. The meat was implementing a virtual router in software and using that to route traffic in the virtual network.
There is a lot of hype about the McDonalds' scalding coffee case. No one is in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results; however, it is important to understand some points that were not reported in most of the stories about the case. McDonalds coffee was not only hot, it was scalding -- capable of almost instantaneous destruction of skin, flesh and muscle. Here's the whole story.
This reminds me of a PhD thesis I read about a few years back. Adam Fass' Messyboard
MessyBoard is a networked bulletin board that allows people to share notes, pictures, files and other content. Everyone who looks at a MessyBoard sees exactly the same thing, and all users see changes in real time. It runs as a Java applet inside your web browser, so no software installation is necessary. Text and images from other applications can easily be posted on MessyBoard using drag-and-drop and cut-and-paste. Each board has a URL that is easy to remember, so you can access it from any computer on the Internet.
MessyBoard stores a complete history of all activity, allowing users to go back in time and recover old content simply by clicking on a slider bar.
Coincidentally, Fass now works for Google in WA state.
Southwest is testing Wi-Fi on four of its planes now. I was on one on a flight from Las Vegas to Baltimore. They sent me an email the day before telling me that the plane would have wi-fi and that it would be free during this test period.
The speed was fantastic, but I didn't benchmark it. However, I was able to do a video iChat with my wife at home. Didn't try to do any audio, just video.
The big drawback about Southwest is that their planes have no power outlets. Not sure if they're going to add them. But they're aware of the issue.
The summary seems to suggest that this is just an appellate decision. The MD Court of Appeals is the state's high court. This is the final word on this case in the state of Maryland.
half admit to installing unauthorized software on their employer's computers. On the upside, the Millenials are more security aware than their older co-workers.
As some other posters have pointed out, this is about age rather than a change in attitude. Millenials believe that they are more security aware, but they're flushing that down the toilet by installing unauthorized software. And by unauthorized I mean those hax0r'd copies of Office and Photoshop. Who knows what keyloggers and other bits and pieces are present in those binary blobs? This sort of attitude sure makes industrial espionage easier.
what you've said it means. The EFF still makes money. It's just got to do some accounting and spending to make sure that it falls within the IRS' definition of a non-profit.
The problem is EFF isn't in the business of making all the products or offering all the services the patents they're going after cover.
If you assume the tiger travels at 35 miles/hour, and you solve their equations for the height of the obstacle given that speed, you find that the height of the obstacle would need to be at least 34.5 feet
Does anybody know if the kid was playing the game on computers at school? If he was playing the game out of school then this is a free speech issue and the ACLU or a similar organization should help this kid sue the school.

Yeah, I don't get it. She hasn't done anything else in local politics / public service, either right?

Also, read this article: "Three Books For Surviving Graduate School," at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125856586
It's a piece by the author of this book: Surviving Your Stupid, Stupid Decision to Go to Grad School, http://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Your-Stupid-Decision-School/dp/0307589447
Seriously.
I remember this article last year

Nope. Just checked, they are no longer selling web songs. So it's just $0.89 MP3s until 5/31.
Probably Pascal and assembly.

We're not likely to run out soon, it's just going to get expensive.
I believe AMD was the first mass market CPU to include an on-board memory controller.
I imagine a large portion of that cost are salaries.
