Pre-R1 is out which should be a newer version than DR3. I also put DR3 on an old Mac. It's harder to maintain than the Linux on an intel but is enough to maintain a house-Lan. The URL is "http://www.mklinux.org"
I have heard about Internet2 for a while and all I know is that it is a project to provide an internet with higher bandwidth and speed.
I imagine that some readers of Slashdot may be involving in related research projects - e.g. some poor graduate students of those Big- Shoot professors;). Anybody can illuminate us on how the whole thing works?
I came from another culture (Hong Kong to be exact). No. The situation in our High School is different, at least during my time, which is unluckily more than 10 years ago.
There are probably two reasons. First, the schools usually took disciplines and order much more seriously. Bad behaviors like bullying others wouldn't be tolerated.
Second, the concept of a good student is way different from here. Intelligence and excellence in academic matters are more highly regarded. Physical fittness is an admirable attribute but only if it comes together with intelligence.
My two cents. Not sure how much things have changed now.
What a coincident! He came to my school to give a lecture just yesterday. My impression is that he is a very good and entertaining speaker (and probably writer too). The theory I got from his lecture is that human behaviors are the results of biological adaptation of our hunter-gather ancestor. And he listed experiments on vision, emotions and etc as proof of his theory.
However, to me (as a psychologist/neuroscientist), what he said actually is nothing revolutionary. Interpreting social and behavioral phenomena on the grounds of evolution and biological necessity has had a very long history. Only somehow in the modern age United States, this school of theory is particular popular.
Personally, I usually find general thoeries of human and social behavior not particularly useful and prefer leave arguments on such a macroscopic level to philosophers or sociologists (who usually do a better job than us psychologists). Psychologists and neuroscientists now usually ask the question "how the brain work?" Using a computer metaphor: we all know that the purpose of a word-processor program; the interesting thing is how the program does it.
