Unix time increases by 86400 each day, no matter whether there is a leap second or not. From the
Wikipedia:
When a leap second occurs, so that the UTC day is not exactly 86400 s long, a discontinuity occurs in the Unix time number. The Unix time number increases by exactly 86400 each day, regardless of how long the day is. When a leap second is deleted (which has never occurred, as of 2004), the Unix time number jumps up by 1 at the instant where the leap second was deleted from, which is the start of the next day. When a leap second is inserted (which occurred on average once every year and a half from 1972 to 1998; none at all have been or will be inserted after Dec 31, 1998 up through June 30, 2005), the Unix time number increases continuously during the leap second, during which time it is more than 86400 s since the start of the current day, and then jumps down by 1 at the end of the leap second, which is the start of the next day.
The columnists are ok, but I wouldn't pay $50 for them. Probably any amount wouldn't be worth the trouble. If they want to charge money, they should differentiate between reduced content vs. full content. Anyone who wants headline news can go most anywhere, but the NYT has a lot of good in-depth stories and analysis. There is a lot less competition there.
That degree is pretty much crap. They are going to teach you about computers, networks, administration, etc. without any Computer Science or Engineering, or anything on the business side either (good to know what your boss or boss's boss is talking about). Get a degree that actually teaches you about the hardware and/or software.
Finding a proof can be a very difficult process involving a lot of search and creativity, but it is much easier to verify a proof. This two properties are especially true for computer proofs. Lots and lots of search to find a proof, but each step in a proof is easy to verify.
The solution for the math people then is really very simple. Implement independent proof verifiers.
It would be nice if the proofs were short and elegant, but that doesn't trump truth, not by a long shot.
I would hope that a P2P would be liable only if their intent was to help users break the law, not because their software could be used to break the law. As has been mentioned ad nausium, every tool can be used to break the law (hammers can break heads and windows). We wouldn't have many tools left if that is all it took to make them illegal.
Nothing starts my day better than the pleasant scent of vaporware wafting from my computer. We live in a great time. This shows what a kid with nothing but a formalism and a dream can accomplish.
It would be better to say:
I love the smell of vaporware in the morning.
slide rule
bound books (helluva lot better than scrolls)
eyeglasses
flush toilet (heh)
light bulb (surely I missed this)
whatever that thing is that surveyors use
plumb line
tableware
knifes (ok, the Swiss Army Knife was there)
more generally, any common tool
keys
credit cards, magnetic strip cards in general
I agree. I was beginning to think that no one cared about power usage.
The difference in power usage probably doesn't make up for the cost difference, but it lessens it. Also, conserving energy is hardly a bad thing when our energy usage is causing global warming.
The BBB has fallen into worthlessness in recent years (I don't know about years passed). They have little to no pull and sometimes they even go so far as to ignore complaints against their companies. I would ignore any comments in regards to BBB related businesses.
It's only one case, but the BBB helped me out when a computer company delayed a couple months on a return I made.
Probably most intros are Java nowadays. Java is also the High School AP language here in the good old USofA.
I think the first language should be a simple language without many constraints or strange syntax. It should be useful to the student even if one CS course is all the student takes. Not exactly many candidates here, but it would be nice.
Follow up courses can bend the students' minds however way they wish. Java is about as good as anything else. It helps you put together large, structured programs about as well as any other language.
Maybe the underlying problem is that the browsers make the assumption that incoming HTML is syntactically correct. This is obviously a bad assumption, but no competitive browser wants to wait for the whole file before trying to display it, nor do they want to insist on purity in syntax for the same reason. Any browser that appears slow or refuses to display marginal HTML will lose on the market. It's another instance of convenience trumping security.
To be secure, you really need two passes, the first to ensure that it "compiles" correctly, or probably better to partially display as it compiles correctly or correctively. I don't imagine we'll see such a slow browser though.
Some fat is good, but fat is bad if you eat too much of it.
Some alcohol is good, but alcohol is bad if you drink too much of it.
Some gambling is good (I fondly remember many nights of penny ante poker with college friends), but gambling is bad if you do too much of it (e.g., interfering with studies or making you poor).
Drugs are good, but drugs are bad if you do too much of them.
Pretty much any behavior (excluding criminal acts, libel, etc.) is good or ok in moderation, but bad if you do too much of it. If you simply prohibit potentially bad behaviors, then how do you learn to act with moderation? Too many people have a "don't do it" attitude to most everything, which I think in the end is counterproductive.
By the next version or two, Java and C# will make C++ look simple with the additional advantage of not being a moving target.
Sure, each new feature will apparently simplify some aspect of programming, but it also increases the learning curve. You are not going to get simplicity by increasing complexity.
I look forward to the next new OOP language will arise because Java/C# will have become too complex.

If you want additional caution, there is always the duck test.
They also put kiddie porn and a terrorist plot on the card in case the FBI needs to arrest you.
In addition, Microsoft doesn't hold any patents on those algorithms, and they have open specifications.

I thought I would be seeing laws like laws of Physics, but these are morals with privacy as the overriding concern.

You would think that ordinary encryption would be much more than sufficient for anything less than the NSA.
Outsourcing. Be available 24/7. When you're 40, get packing. Dealing with PHBs. Yes, it's a wonderful opportunity in a Walmart world.

Ack! Insert "know" in appropriate location.
We already all about the Cryptonomicon here.
It was a de facto standard to use two digits to encode the year, which caused a lot of fun a few years ago.

A no-fee patent in exchange for BSD licensing sounds like a fair compromise to me. Is this actually the case or are you speculating?
