We had a senior level class where out foriegn born Aurospace prof tried to steer some of us to grad school.
He said that a European BS degree was superior to an American BS degree, and nearly equivalent to a MS degree in technical knowledge. Beyond that though, American gradaute degree programs are harder than European graduate degree programs.
He said the European grad program is just a lot of seminars, and not as rigorous as American.
I did find a big job in what was expected from you at the Master's level as opposed to the BS level.
I just want her to grow up with a happy, fulfilling life.
She may never invent a new OS, or cure cancer, or win the lottery, but if she can look back on her childhood as a happy time where she learned good habits, I will feel that the entire struggle was worth it.
Not everyone will be world famous, not everyone wants to, some of us just want a happy, content life.
IIRC, the thing has lots of little diamonds scattered throughout it. I wonder what cataclysmic event caused their formation, perhaps a planet exploded, perhaps the meteorite was too close to a start going nova, or maybe they formed as it slammed into the atmostphere?
Could you have told use what Corel would port.NET to? Presumable Linux, but the idea of reasing an SEC filing this early in the morning without a few more cups of coffee really makes my head hurt worse than it hurts now.
No, it means each packet is carved from only the finest oak by third-generation master craftsmen in rural Vermont and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Do you know how many packets you've generated with that post? Probably 20 at least, and you want to make them out of oak now?
It isn't bad enough that we're deforesting the Rain Forest for hamburgers and rainforest crunch, now we're gonna deforest Vermont just so we can have hand crafted Oak packets? Do you know what that will do to Vermont's ecosystem? Where will the smelly phishphans live if you cut down their trees?
We all need to seriously think about recycling our packets, designer hand crafted oak packets are a luxury mother earth can not afford!!!!
Did anyone pick up an undercurrent of glee when the dude compared who uses Windows (half the class raised their hands) and who uses Linux (the whole class raised their hand).
MS should never have fck'ed over IBM wrt to OS/2, Big Blue has a long memory, and the board probablt has wet dreams of stomping on MS's grave.
This is just hype to drive demand, and if they sell out their initial runs, they will magically find a few hundred thousand more.
But hey, we're gullible, if Sony says by now, we may run out by December why shouldn't we believe them.
Though a small part of me hopes this is true, the part of me that feels for the geeks that complain that they can't find a MOTAS. Maybe if they don't spend them Christmas holiday in a PS2 induced trance, they might get out and meet a few chicks. And no, you won't impress many chicks with a new gaming console, try a Miata instead.
And I say this, because I understand women better than most men.
My qualifications here are that I've had sex, which puts me head and shoulders above your average 15 year old virgin Slashdot reader (cf. Bruce Perens).
And like any frontier, eventually it gets civilized.
I wish Katz had been alive 140 years ago, he coudl write his screeds about how barbed wire is destroying the spirit of the West, and schoolmarms are changing the uniqueness of each little prairie town with their lesson plans, and the Indians are being oppressed by settlers.
Here's how a frontier works:
First, someone discovers or invents it (Tim Berners-Lee).
Next people start exploring it. Professionals (like Lewis and Clark or the CERN staff), then hobbyist and amateurs, then unsocial malcontents (like fur traders, mountain men and socially dysfunctional geeks), then people hoping to make loads of money (gold miners, html writing/waiters hoping to charge $100 an hour, hello Razorfish), then people making lots of money (pick ax sellers, Cisco), then homesteaders and businessmen (the farmers, the railroad) and finally the fairer sex (schoolmarms, women, wtc). This is just part of the closing of the web frontier, nothing to get upset about, and about as useful to fight about as fighting about entropy.
If geeks are feeling upset about this, just unil the next geek frontier opens up, just don't complain than there are no women there.
Really, if you can't memorize the email addresses of the hundred or so people and mailing lists with whom you regularly correspond, you shouldn't be using a computer.
Criminy, what next, complaining about Explorer's bookmark files? Really, if you can't memorize the thousand or so web addies your regularly surf to, you shouldn't be on the web.
Nit a lot of go getting hype (point 3), not much sunny weather (point 6), and North America's cleanest, most livable city is a few hours drive down the QE2, Toronto (point 7).
We may have are problems, but America is nowhere near as Xenophobic as the French, with their Algerian riots, the Germans with skinheads killing Turkish guest workers, or the UK with skinheads beating up on Indians.
I think we should get more foreign workers, it will only help America grow, and if a foreign country can't appreciate their most dynamic workers, too bad.
America was built on immigration, and immigrants provide a much needed spark to the American economy. Think of how many products and businesses immigrants have launched, once they've come to a land where hard work is appreciated, not denigrated. I can think of the Indian that invented Hotmail, and Linus, too, of course.
If a foreign country can't find a place for an ambitious foreign worker, too bad for them. If their culture is caste ridden, or against strivers, or a socialist disaster, an ambitious computer workers aren't appreciated,they should come here. Too bad if that foreign's country GDP tanks, they should get rid of their old, quaint unproductive customs.
Are these the Libertarians who would try to put a price tag on the environment, and then sue corporations that befoul our encironment?
Your honor, representing the environment, Smokey the Bear, bear attorney at law
Hmm, why do I think this is a bad idea?
We need some government to keep the corporations in line, though we're not voting anymore because the corporations becoming too powerful. Obviously, we need to increase the power that the government has over corporations, or live in a Gibson/Sterling corporatacracy.

Anyone know?
He keeps mentioning a blackboard, is that some kind of software that runs on a monitor to emulate a whiteboard?

hand crafted packets?
/dev/eth0.
Does that mean you sit there tapping out the packet contents with your space bar?
Is this anything more sophistacted than ping?
Too bad it's for Windows only, it would take a dedicated Linux hacker minutes of grueling work to send those packets out
Lackey: Bad news, Darth Lucas, the url's of the fan sites were not on the Princess.
Darth Lucas: And you've searched her thoroughly? What about the webmaster?
L: I'm afraid he died before we could ask him.
Darth Lucas makes a grasping movement with his hands.
L:: Acckkkkkkk
DL: Lackey number 2 you are in command. Play a course to the Princess' homepage site.

Will this digitism ever end?
A Miata? Come on..
Oh, would you prefer this? Yuck!

since I'm browsing Windows NT instead of Linux, I don't have an IP address, instead I have a NetBUIE address, so I'm not worried about this.
Thanks for the warning, though.

Hmm, 23, I can't of anything to do with 23 except that it's prime.
1) Did you post, with your nick, in the keyboard contents topic?
2) Did your post, with your nick, in the Katz death of politics topic?
thank you
Though I foget her name, but any gal that know her way around BSD and goes to a BSD con is worth knowing in my book.

Have you considered Buffalo?
Nit a lot of go getting hype (point 3), not much sunny weather (point 6), and North America's cleanest, most livable city is a few hours drive down the QE2, Toronto (point 7).
than America?
Can you name one?
I did't think so.
We may have are problems, but America is nowhere near as Xenophobic as the French, with their Algerian riots, the Germans with skinheads killing Turkish guest workers, or the UK with skinheads beating up on Indians.
That's why the plaque on Ellis Island says
