In a well-written article/book pictures will often detract from the writing. Also, they will lead to people not reading your article, they'll just glance at the photos and read the captions. I applaud writers who still publish with the idea that we should take the time to read their words, not just glean the information from it.
I can't help but feel turned off of Linux and the like whenever I walk by the great unwashed nattering about how the evils of the corporate world can be felled with the right choice of OS. "It's the smell," as Agent Smith would say.
Of course. It could use an extra hundred million. Remember Vorbis? And who's using that? Golden eared archivers... These things are doomed to failure. Develop a great codec, fine, but how do you push it to the people without the mouth of a giant corp spreading the word?
I'm yet to be convinced that people developing stuff like this in their free time will ever produce anything as innovative and polished as a commercial/*EG design. And if that happens (like, oh, a homebrew example escapes me at the moment, but I'm sure there are several) how are you going to get it adopted? You and what army are going to convince the content encoders to use it?
I think I just said the same thing twice, and poorly. As usual.
is leadership and decision making through experience and training. Don't move up to management unless you've got the project experience behind you to know when to do what. Also, managers need to be technically detached enough to not get caught up in the details of implementation. Having been there before and knowing what causes setbacks and delays and bugs is MUCH better than being involved to the level where everything has to be rubberstamped before it's implemented.
And you've got to have the right face to present as the representative of the group. I can't stand it if I'm working under someone who's technically able to do the job, but a total social ass-bag. You're representing the people under you to the higher-ups and outside parties, ditch the jeans and t-shirt and act the part. Spiffy up.

I mean, if I want to search for "*this", I don't want to search for "this". How about Google stops ignoring the characters it feels like and uses my search terms? Those periods and asterisks are important to some people!
There's gotta be some legit way to link the two. I aim to be more than just a consumer of both;) It's time to give a little something back to both communities I feel, it's only polite...
Of course, if you're shopping for a Honda you should swing by here to shop for your accessories to get that bee under the hood buzzing just right. With the right stickers and wings, even a Honda can go fast:)
I'd always wondered if this was the case. My grandfather was a safety inspector for oil refineries, and visited NASA as part of his ongoing training. He said the biggest shame NASA had was that what caused the Apollo 1 fire was wire run through a doorway. It's one of those things you learn in school; never pull a plug by the cord, don't run wires under carpets, and don't run wires through doors.
Of course this was many years ago when he told me this and I've never heard anything similar to back it up until today. I'd have to go along with the previous poster on this thread and think it was the worn insulation in the wiring that caused ignition, not sparks from a breaker or switch (or whatever else they said was the cause). Of course it also makes more sense that the wear occurred at the hinge of the door, and not through it, as who would run wire through an airtight hatch, even if it is only temporary?
I was raised by my Grandfather, and have heard story after story of applied stupidity and unsafe cheapness. Usually it's at the expense of the safety of the refinery worker or environmental health, or even the corporation. But no matter how big or responsible the organization, unless you have a few straight arrows around with a thick skin and clear head problems will happen. I'm still undecided as to weather this disaster was an accident or the fault of someone who should have known better.
Indeed Canada is, but it wasn't untill my second year (of university) we learned how RSA worked, and a real crypto course would be a third or fourth year elective. Most awards based challenges like this are relying on your problem solving skills or resourcefullness to solve them. That's kind of the point, most highschool students shouldn't know how to solve it.
So if I'm successful I go to college instead of university? Sounds like a raw deal to me;) There's a big difference between the two here, with colleges being more trade-school oriented. Not that there's anything wrong with that! (a la Seinfeld).
Most reaonably secure offices use the MAC address as a first line of defence. If your MAC isn't bound to your switch port, too bad. Outside hubs and switches? Useless. Keeps you from walking in with a laptop one morning, and walking out with whatever IP the company has in the evening.
I've switched over my account and my girlfriend's to Rogers' new mail servers, and now I get the error that their SMTP server won't relay my mail to outside domains. So I can only send email to people on Rogers now??
Re. Myth 3: I'll take my SNR as high as I can get it, thanks. As for the rest of Myth 3, that has nothing to do with SNR. Do you even know what the SNR is??
Watching my karma melt away as I get drawn into yet another audio battle. Sigh....
When recording to minidisk is it only possible to transfer data at 1X? For instance, it takes me about 7 minutes to make an 80 minute CD on my 12x burner, but my discman is huge. With a minidisc system it would be smaller, but wouldn't it take 74 minutes to get 74 minutes of audio on? For me this is a huge drawback.

The whole point is getting attention. Would this be news if it weren't Bert or a bottle of JD? It's a great, effective, free way to disseminate information globally to people who can't actively seek out information for fear of being detected. They sure as hell can go to wired.com or./ though. Good job guys, let's make sure that all the terrorists know that WE'RE GOING WITH PLAN A, IS THAT CLEAR?
See? Worked like a charm. The information finds you. Smart guy.
MIT is correct. They can publish this material freely because 1) The essential information is *already* free and public, and 2) Because you don't pay MIT to reveal to you that F=MA, you pay them to have a professor *explain it to you.* and then be able to say you earned a degree from MIT!
Actually, from what I've heard you pay your $55k/year and get taught by a TA. Apparently MIT profs don't have time to lecure, with all their amazing research and whatnot. Not my ideal environment.

Doesn't Oakley use iTanium? Beat's iTi, which could be offensive to some;) And unobtanium has to be my favourite, another Oakley great.... I'd check all this out but their site is always so damned slow!
Check out the co-op program at Waterloo for what you're looking for. All Engineering students and lots of other faculties are in the co-op program, it's what was a driving force behind the startup of the school. Real work experience, resume writing, more interviews than you could imagine.... You get lots of experience in potentially lots of areas (depending on your program and what you want to try out). There are six four-month terms in the typical co-op program degree, so you get lots of exposure. The real upside is that you get your 'training' and 'technical skills' through work, and leave the theory and design and the real school stuff to Universty classes. It's great, and it pays the bills. Can't say enough good about it.
I think the operative word here was "culture." One doesn't have to move to the host nation to enjoy it's culture. As long as people keep defending American culture by lashing back at those who want more of other nations, you will remain in the eyes of the world the a**holes we all see you as today.

Storing boards in ESD bags? They disappate any stored charge on teh board when you picj it up.
Not quite. If I remember my ESD training I got at one place I worked for, most ESD bags shield and don't dissipate.
