I don't believe that they dynamically allocate the resource to reinforce the fleet battle systems. They have to be given a heads up and a GM takes the node down and allocates extra resources to it before the battle begins. I may be mistaken, but that's what I remember from the last time this sort of thing appearing on slashdot.
Realize that if we allowed firearms on planes, 9/11 would've never happened, the patriot act would've never happened, hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have died in the decade long wars to follow.
Wrong. 9/11 happened because people believed from past experience that the best way to handle a plane hijacking is to let the hijacker fly the plane to Cuba and everyone will stay safe and get a flight back home afterwards. After 9/11, no one will ever allow a hijacker to fly the plane to wherever he wants anymore. The passengers will turn into a mob rather than passive hostages because they will believe they are about to die. It is not possible for terrorists to pull off another 9/11 style attack, guns or no (especially since they now lock the cockpit doors and won't open for anything).
Let's see. They could be making internal training videos, saving money on training new hires or adjusting old workers to new rules. They could be making public instructional videos, saving money by reducing the number of mistakes made by the public. They could be making any number of different videos that could more than pay for the paultry $60,000 cost of the facility.
You're a fool swept up in Republican lies and propaganda. That video was made while training in the use of their new video facilities and cost them next to nothing.
It doesn't matter if you can purchase the expansion alone. What matters is if you buy both (and eventually all 3) games together and decide "Those alien dudes look pretty cool, I'm going to play that first". It's about not forcing people to play the campaigns in order.
This has already been settled in court. If you can't prove that you were harmed by a secret program, you don't have standing to sue. (Regardless of the fact that you can never prove that you were harmed because, you know, it's a secret)
That doesn't make it a good thing. (My tuition was paid for by a combination of Bright Futures and grants.) Bright futures is not needs based, it's merit based. Consider that buyers of lotto tickets are generally poor, trying to hit it big and that socioeconomic background is well correlated with academic merit. Therefore, the bright futures program is simply wealth redistribution from the poor to the already rich. It's completely ass-backwards. A strong progressive tax structure funding it would make much more sense.
I'm sure once he gets stabilized and kicked the curb, his condition magically gets better and he never has to return to the hospital to be stabilized (costing more money) again.
The scheme syntax lends itself well to parallelization. You can parse the program into a tree, with the command as the parent node and the inputs as its children. If you don't allow any of the commands to have side effects, you can process each of the children's subtrees in parallel. This makes it trivial for the compiler to figure out how to decompose your program into multiple GPU kernel calls and forces the programmer to think in different terms to come up with an algorithm that fits in with Scheme's programming style. Procedural programming languages like C keep you stuck in a "do this, then that, then this other thing" frame of mind and this doesn't lend itself well to the challenges of effective parallel programming.
(I studied parallel programming, programming language design, and parallel and distributed systems every chance I got in graduate school)
It's not a left/right axis. There is also an up/down axis. Left/Right is economic freedom, Up/Down is social freedom. Being up on the social freedom axis means you support the government staying out of your bedroom. Being right on the economic freedom means you support the government staying out of how you run your business. In this way, the Republicans are Down/Right, the Democrats are Left/Up, Libertarians are Up/Right (I'm working from an American central point here, not a world center).
Taxing extraction wouldn't make sense because not all of it is burned. Just look at all of the items made with petroleum. that are not made to be used as fuel.
They haven't made any effort to improve their DRM because the company is not run by MBAs and bean counters. The company has a flat structure with no bosses so the person doing the work is the person deciding to do the work.
In the last election the Republicans saw how they cannot win without the Latino vote. Since a large chunk voted Democrat, the Republicans went ahead and "blue" themselves. That's why they're all the sudden talking about immigration reform.
Had to read through a ton of comments from the uninformed and trolls who think they're funny before finding this one informative comment. Thank you. Where are my mod points?
Also, you can hide your metadata through DC-Nets. For the technically minded, Herbivore describes a protocol that is highly resistant to attack and provides provable anonymity and secure transmission.
Wrong. You have to do something you wouldn't normally do for it to be entrapment. Law enforcement can pretend to offer to do illegal business to catch a copyright infringer just as sure as they can leave cars unlocked to catch car thieves or send a minor to buy cigarrettes or alcohol to catch cashiers that don't check ID or offer to have sex with you for money.. It's only entrapment if they force you to do it.
The media's portrayal of anything related to computers or computer users is at best unfunny. At worst, it's personally insulting. Computers have become a large enough part of our lives that I think the media needs to get past the whole "nerdy awkward computer geek" stereotype that exists in almost every single show or movie that has someone who know's computers.

My tag "firetheeditors", to catalogue the poor editing jobs and dupes of Slashdot, has yet to catch on...

That depends. Is your IQ above room temperature?

In many states, you cannot pay teachers more based on the subject they teach (idiotic, I know) and any suggestion to change that is not well received.
According to the government, it's still a secret program. If something becomes public it does not remove its security designation.

The best part is that the congressmen involved can do and likely did trading based on the exact same information and it's all legal for them

I don't know. June 1st was the first day of hurricane season. It was also gay day at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Coincidence?
