Actually, I'm usually *not* OK with pictures from the mentioned studios. They're mostly Hollywood crap and not worth the time to watch. I pity the fools that even bother to pirate them.
Whoa. "honest journalism"? Assuming that there actually *is* any such thing, I think the most the guy was doing was (honestly) describing the inconveniences he experienced on his trip. Who said what when aside, I don't recall reading any particular venom directed towards the technical capabilities of the car. I think that anyone who *is* honest would have to admit that, due to ecosystem or whatever, EVs aren't yet up to the level of charge once, drive anywhere.
I find it more remarkable that someone from Manhattan can actually drive a car in the first place.
I don't really understand all the twisted knickers about this NYT story.
Basically, the bottom line is that the car's really nice if you live in California, but if you want to go for a long winter drive on the East Coast, get a gas guzzler.
If you've got enough money to afford a Tesla, you can probably own both.
I believe most universities also claim copyright over not only all student's works, but all professor's class-related works as well. Check your local T & C.
I think this pretty clearly sucks; having the policy devolve to secondary and elementary institutions underscores the absurdity.
Maybe this will lead to a global debate and re-evaluation. I'm not holding my breath...
"Cracker" was used for a while to mean "malicious hacker", but has its own ambiguity since it's used as a sort-of black person's "N-word" for a white person. (whatever happened to "Ofay", by the way?)
I'd suggest "jacker", from "jack in to a network in order to hi-jack it".
And by analogy to Tim Leary's "Turn on, tune in, drop out" - "Jack in, jack out, jack off"
Heartily agree with the money argument. Bitching about the 1% and special (meaning moneyed) interests notwithstanding, the open marketplace is the closest thing to pure democracy we have. Every dollar spent by a consumer is a vote.
Apparently, they've been taking a lot of heat - the front page of their web site has a semi-lengthy explanation that the expulsion was for violation of their "professional conduct code", not hacking.
One of the no-no's is "Continual rudeness". How Canadian. Guess Steve Jobs wouldn't have lasted long there...

It's a quaint read today, but when my junior high math teacher recommended it to me, I got a first look at the academic hierarchy of the day. I still find it relevant, but I'm probably an outlier.
The premise was that that mathematics rules over the other 'hard' sciences - physics and chemistry - and that pure versions of each, without apparent practical application, are more noble than the applied varieties.

Just curious - what did you run into that required periodic XP re-installs? Can you identify anything in your usage that was forcing it?

There's always the University of Chicago - "where fun goes to die"
Check the {Nvidia,Ati} control panel. There's probably a way to set the screen window rectangles to overlap...
is that they expire.
Maybe not fast enough for some of us, but too soon for others.

I'm with you on the bullshit.
I think it was more likely 125 kph.
No way a Renault could go that fast.

... as if *anyone* could learn touch SCREEN typing...
Really? First grade? Where was this? Were there special keyboards for little kid's fingers?
I'd be impressed if I could believe it.

Yeah, "hacker" is way too ambiguous.
"Cracker" was used for a while to mean "malicious hacker", but has its own ambiguity since it's used as a sort-of black person's "N-word" for a white person. (whatever happened to "Ofay", by the way?)

My take has been:
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach run for office.
Not sure about Obama, though...
Almost amusing, but wouldn't the 1st 2 #defines cause an infinite loop in the macro expander of most compilers?
I was programming in ALGOL in 1965 so fuck all of y'all.
I suspect it isn't such a big deal, really. "Fiscal cliff" has started to sound like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
What would probably happen can be found here (caution - graphs with data).
is that the popular press will overhype scientific results to the point of meaninglessness.
"Medical Daily" now counts as popular press in my book.
Uh, Osama, duh. Now compare to Bush and you've got an argument.
I misread the story headline as an interview with *IBM*s Watson.
that if you don't have a phone, no one can rob you for it.
That video from the 1st link is totally fucken hilarious!
What do you remember most from your days at the NYIT Computer Graphics Lab?

Somehow, I still manage to make a living...
