Don't worry there is a special place in hell for people do that. It is the place reserved for child molesters and people that talk in theater. All kidding aside those people are extreme low life scum. BTW I know it is not been in the news a lot but Haiti is still in a world of hurt folks. Japan is a rich country and the things they need the most right now are not things you can really buy with money. They need SAR teams, heavy lift choppers, and heavy equipment. A lot of that is on the way. Japan doesn't need money yet.
It was the Force. The universe wanted balance so it was protecting those that where trying to bring balance. I expected better from someone on Slashdot.
My guess is that you are not an EE. But you don't have to be to understand it in simple terms. navigation systems work in large part by picking up relatively weak RF signals. It isn't easy to do that when you have a bunch of RF transmitters sitting next to it. Kind of like trying to listen to someone wispier in a rave.
I think it is just a politicians way of trying to do something. The logic goes like this. There is a problem with education. By passing a law that "improves" education but doesn't cost anything is an accomplishment without any risk.
It is a Democratic Republic. From the text it actually seems like a good idea. I am not sure that it needs to be law. The problem is will the class be useful or not. From my school years I have to worry that it will be "you have to pass to graduate class". In my High School you where required to take and pass American History and what they called Comparative Government. Comparative Government was all about why the US system was better than the USSR and China. Hey it was in the early 80s and the cold war was pretty dang cold. Thing was I loved history as did a few of my friends. The classes where not leveled so everyone had to take the same class. After the third week my teacher pulled myself and my two friends to one side and told us that we where going to get an A. He also asked us to stop asking so many questions. As he put it, we where going to pass but some of the other students might not. The tests where on Friday. On Monday he put up notes on the overhead and if you wrote them down and handed them in you got a C no matter how bad you did on the test. The same thing could happen with this law.
Most books do not make any profit. But let's say you make 66 cents per ebook. If you sell 2000 a month that is still $1320 a month Not great but not terrible. When buying apps or eBooks my wife likes to say, "99 cents is the same as free". It is less than a cup of coffee at that point so you may consider it a why not. So if you have four or five books out each selling that much you are making well over $70,000 a year. Not a lot but if you love to write and have a day job it would be a really good second income. If you live someplace really cheap it is probably a really good income. If you are retired and your home is paid off it is great.
I think that yes making a book that cheap would be a huge benefit for authors and readers.
Because the LDS church has not practiced it for over 100 years. It is a stereotype and meant to demean. Like all bigoted statements. And since the summary was a flat out lie that little bit of extra bigotry was just icing on the cake.
I have not now and have never lived in Utah. It is not my state. And no it isn't filled with morons. I know a lot of highly educated people that live there and not everbody is a member of the church. But thanks for the flat out bigoted reply.
That is okay you missed the bigoted commentary added by Taco. "Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday March 09, @09:36AM from the only-two-of-three-wives-agree dept."
That is just as offensive as a comment about cheap Jews, or African Americans liking water melon. BTW for those that do not know the history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Executive_Order_44#The_Mormon_War It was an extermination order in the state of Missouri that all members of the church where to be killed or driven from the state. It was officially rescinded in 1976.
You left out the bigoted addition from Cmdr Taco. Man what is next From the harder than getting money out of Jew department? Really Cmdr Taco that is really just not cool.
Actually this is a prime example of just how bad and biased Slashdot summaries could be. If you read the article you will find nothing about the Democrate in it! In fact here is the entire articale because it is so short.
" A bill that would ensure Utah students learn the U.S. is a compound constitutional republic — not a democracy — has passed both Houses of the Legislature and is now headed to the governor for his signature.
HB220 would require schools to teach students that the U.S. is a compound constitutional republic and about other forms of government such as pure democracy, monarchy and oligarchy along with political philosophies and economic systems such as socialism, individualism and free-market capitalism. The Senate passed the bill with no dissenting votes Monday.
And on Tuesday, the House agreed to wording changes made in the Senate.
The bill passed after weeks of debate over the differences between democracies and republics and whether socialism is a form of government or a philosophy.
Opponents of the bill argued that the concepts within it are already being taught and that the Legislature shouldn’t get involved in curriculum matters.
But on Monday, Senate floor sponsor Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, said in some states children are being indoctrinated in socialism via some curriculum.
“This is happening at least in some places in our country, so I believe this is all the more important in this state, so that we can protect our children from such curriculum,” Madsen said"
So you have the floor sponsor feeling that some places are promoting socialism and doesn't like it. But this isn't a Democrate vs Republican issue.
Now let me start my rant! 1. The summary says things that the article does just to inflame! 2. I have Politics blocked on my front page so WHY THE HECK IS THIS ON MY FRONT PAGE! 3. As a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints "A Mormon" I find Cmdr Tacos little tag line as offensive and bigoted as I would if he had put "Harder than getting money out of Jew department". Really Slashdot is getting to be as bad as Wired is.
A. I do report all my income. B. I do not pirate. C. I program for a company so I doubt I could deduct the cost of the program. D. I have never seen House at all and I pay for Hulu Plus and watch it on my Roku box.
E. I just do not buy that most apps in itunes or the Android marketplace have GPLd code in them. And this program that can scan your apps binary and tell you if you do or not just smells like 5 week old mullet.
I too was surprised, since I meant it mainly as a joke. I thought that English to Spanish to German would cause some amusement. Probably better to go outside of the European languages.
I was also surprised, especially since I did not mean it is a joke. I thought that the English and Spanish and German would cause some amusement. Probably best to go out of the EU languages.
So that was English to Swahili to Finnish to English. Not bad actually just one small edit for meaning and it would be pretty dang good.
I was also surprised, especially since I did mean it is a joke. I thought that the English and Spanish and German would cause some amusement. Probably best to go out of the EU languages.
I smell a scam. 71% are in violation? Really? They scanned every app in the both stores? This I feel says it all. "OpenLogic sells a product called the OLEX App Store Edition which provides tooling that can be used by developers to do a self-service scan on their apps prior to submitting to the app store and by app stores to track open source compliance." I would love to scan my app. I wrote 100% of the code except what I linked from Apple. I think the method may be flawed.
That would work also. The thing is that I would take pains to swap drives out of the raid on a regular basis. Every hard drive is going to fail someday. The trick it to replace them before they fail.
Yes it could work. There are problems with it. 1. You really want the signal to be line of sight. You need to know how far you are from the transmitter. With lower frequencies you have bounce so depending on the sun the signal travels different distances even if you are staying still. 2. Cost. The clocks they use in the GPS system are not cheap. So you would need lots of high frequency transmitters which would cost a lot of money.
If the cost of the clocks came down then yes. You could add a GPS like signal to every FM station, TV station, VOR, beacon, and every cell tower. This would work just fine for aircraft but not as well for small devices and cars. I am no expert but I am willing to bet that a lot of cell companies share towers. You might have 4 carriers in your area but they may all be one the same tower. You need more than one points to get your fix. Add in that FM, TV, and VOR all use a longer wave length than is really practical on a cell phone so it would be of very limited help to cell phone navigation. Now for aviation or a port it would be great. In flight things would probably be great. Odds are you will have no trouble seeing at least one VOR, one cell tower, and or one FM or TV station. When you are near the airport they could have multiple transmitters set up and spaced apart for landing. Same for Harbors, The only place that an aircraft would have issues would be over a wilderness area or the sea. Odds are you will not have amateurs playing with jammers there. But until the costs of the clocks comes down it will not happen. But to answer your question yes it can. And it can even be more accurite.
Frankly I do wonder if not funding the ELoran system isn't being penny wise and pound foolish.
Well for high performance and reliability you will still want to use RAID even with SSDs. If had a HA data-base server I would add an extra drive as a hot standby and then once every six months or so I would take the standby hot and then swap in a new SSD for the Hot Standby. Repeat for as long as the server is up.
Whoosh. It was a joke. But let me ask you a question. Why replace a dos app that works? Really if a tool works why replace it? And second. Contiki on a PC. Well maybe for development? I am sure that Contiki would get ported and there will always be something that will run Freedos but really just because something is outside of your realm of experience doesn't make it silly.
The 32bit mode is short of GP registers. But keeping it as a compromise solution for a while might be good. Just drop the 8087, MMX, and all the 16bit and segment crap. The reason for keeping the 86-64 ISA is simple. Code you compile for the 64bit only chip will work just fine and dandy on the current CPUs we have now. But Yea I would love to see the Alpha back but that will not give you the easy compatibility.
True. I wonder just how fast and effecent you could make something like the Atom if you dropped all the old odds and ends that it has to support. Things like 8087, MMX, 286 instructions, and just had it support 64bit mode. Yes a lot of stuff would not run anymore but for say the mobile market and embedded it could be a real winner.

Use Google translate. Translate it into Spanish, then into German, then back into English, then into LEET.
It should be simple to obscure the style and weaknesses of the author with this method.
