Advertisers flock to sites like Myspace for the same reason they advertise on MTV.. any income teens have is by nature discretionary and whatever budget deficits they may encounter are quite often picked up by mom and dad.
Hence why any site on myspace is covered by at least 8 advertisements.
haha, at UNH (and other college from what i hear), the SSN is used for absolutely everything.. you have to type it into a little computer everytime you go to eat (and then the computer scans your hand.. no joke). Logging in to register for classes? Login is your SSN. Taking an exam? results are posted via SSN. Privacy buffs are a little peeved about it, but the university isn't exactly rushing to change things, and the measure usually gets defeated when it's introduced (I think the kids don't like memorizing more than one long number for themselves).
I wonder who needs to be aware of the fact the kid graduated college to begin with. When that graduate out of this mythical 20% goes to apply for a job (or Grad. school), they're going to know where they graduated from, and be able to supply the interviewer with transcripts, certifications and degrees. This system is completely unnecessary, since grads already supply this information to the relevant people. Absolutely no need to get some huge database involved.
That's exactly the case. I had Ken Appel as a professor, and he mentioned the 4-color theorem a couple of times. As he put it, the math wasn't intensive, but actually doing the work the computer was able to do would have taken an army of grad. students years to finish. The way he saw it, the proof was understandable, just extraordinarily, arduously long. That's when they decided to use a computer to solve the problem. Unfortunately, there are still many pure mathematicians who shun computer-based proofs because they (or their grad. students) are not working things out with their own pencils. Unfortunately, I don't think that's a problem that's going away, but I do think it opens up some interesting doors such as writing program A to prove a theorem, and then haveing to prove program A's correctness, for which you write program B and so forth.
Now, given the nature of the pain to absorb noxious chemicals, wouldn't we be seeing a problem of entire neighborhoods where the houses are literally big cubes of smog? Secondly, and this may be scientifically wrong, because it is just absorbing the NOx gases, not necessarily the smog itself, but isn't there a chance of discoloration of the paint after application? Would that beautiful white house become LA-brown within a couple years?
atms are equipped with secure IBM-manufactured crypto cards, and check the pin themselves with a complicated algorithm involving the card number and an offset stored on the magnetic stripe
That doesn't make sense, seeing as I can walk into the bank and have them change my PIN to something mnemonic. Is this stripe getting overwritten each time? Because I know they don't give you a new card to change that PIN...
-suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship (take a look around)

That's why he said near-fascist. And let's not forget that pure fascism is the merger of state and corporate power. Who do you think makes the laws? You or Wal-Mart/Ratheon/Halliburton?
The entire merit of the case seems to be that searchking could lose business because they are unfavored by google, someone who's a hell of a lot better at doing what they do than searchking is. This kinda makes me want to sue all the popular kids in high school who disliked me and thus made others dislike me as well...
Oh well, I read Google's filed motions, they do a pretty good job of troucing every single one of searchking's complaints. They basically did everything but actually call Bob Massa a raging idiot (which would be amusing in court documents). This case shouldn't even have had the paper wasted to print up the memorandums.
I myself am wary to celbrate the anniversary of software that is wholly incompatible with anything causing numerous crashes while still delivering low-end bulky quality. why can't we all just be happy with MPEG-4?

I will concede that you do have a point. However, why is it that the only people who actively parade their beliefs are the ones who believe in hate? The problem is free speech is being used as an excuse for people to post hateful, spiteful viewpoints, and not enough of us are using it to post anti-rascist viewpoints. I admit I am guilty of this myself, as we all are, but you said it best yourself: "a small minority will still flock to neo-fascist ideals." Those of us in the majority have to be just as active in showing our viewpoints. Education, not oppression, is the key factor in the matter. Censorship is not the answer. Sometimes, people are just plain crazy and will find somebody to take their hate out on, and there is nothing anyone can do about it but lock them up. That's what darwinism is for. But the majority of hate-mongers are just misguided and need to be better educated. I respect your viewpoint, but I don't see how the measures the Euro Council is taking weill be of any service. It won't work, and it's nothing but further oppression in an environment built upon free speech.

Personally, I am extemely anti-rascist. However, I do believe in full freedom of speech. If somebody wants to post something rascist on the internet, I believe they have every right to do so. However, those of us against rascism (hopefully the majority), in turn have every right to post something in defense of our beliefs. As idiotic as these beliefs are, the people who hold them need to be allowed to express them, That is the foundation of human nature. It can't be stopped
this suit should be thrown out upon sight considering they are asking the judge to stop the selling of these games to kids under 17, and Hariis and Klebold were both 18. that, and it's utter shit, but i think my first point is more valid. These people have no basis, and no grounds to sue based on their own criteria.
I am at UNH right now studying for a degree in Integrated Mathematics: Computer Science. I know many other schools (BU, RPI, for example) offer similar programs. In this field, i get a lot more math experience, and i learn more about the basics of CS (i.e.- Assembly, FORTRAN, etc.). perhaps you should look towards graduates with a degree in this field?

Interesting points... I don't think "Identity Infringement" has that same scary ring to it though.

yup.. it's just in 1.5 that they started adding other engines by default (Yahoo, Amazon and a handful of others.. but no MSN).
I think he meant "center" as in that metal thing about 6000 km below you... no the equator.
Where did the poster imply any surprise?

A system of government marked by:
-centralization of authority under a dictator (see Iraqi war legislation)
-stringent socioeconomic controls (maybe, maybe not)
-suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship (take a look around)
-typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism (so maybe not totally racist, but ask the next flag-waving Joey Americana whether he's a nationalist or a patriot.. he doesn't even know anymore)

i sincerely hope that's a joke... if this is the greatest thing humans are capable of... there is no hope.
Dammit, we aren't arrogant. We're way too cool too be arrogant!!!!
