If you are a wage employee (paid hourly) then you should get extra compensation for your work. If you are salaried, guess what, you're always on the clock. The idea being that certain types of employees aren't just working during work hours, you're often thinking about problems driving home, etc. This is why many companies have a form you sign when you start work indicating that anything you develop at work or away may be the property of the company. That said, managers always have leeway to grant spot bonuses, good raises, etc. Talk to your manager. If she/he isn't willing to work with you, don't give them the software at all. I'm guessing they are probably willing to meet you half way.

Nuclear Fusion Discovered

You should have read the articles more carefully. The/. summary was a poor one. It's a known, common fusion reaction used in many neutron sources...hurl deuterium ions at a deuterium target and you get helium and neutrons. The novel bit is how they accelerate it. They use pyroelectric materials to ionize deuterium gas and accelerate it at a target. This new method eliminates the need for large hi voltage sources, etc. allowing for miniturization of the system. (the prototype is about a foot long and a couple of inches in diameter but they are saying it should be little trouble to shrint the length of the cylinder to a few inches). Also, the reaction is started by chilling the unit slightly (even ice water should be enough) and then heating it to room temperature. It's allowing for smaller, safer, less expensive neutron sources.
It does and it doesn't. Its not so much the name of the institution, it's what's in the program. I went to a pretty prestigious CS school and I know people who have gone to less prestigious schools. Some of those are pretty good programs, others are not. I think some of the top schools get that reputation because their programs are more demanding and you will learn more. This will, however, show in an interview by the knowledge and skills you posses, and less on a resume because of the name of your school. Try and get some information on other school's programs and see how rigorous your school's program is in comparison.
Not entirely true. SI is an international standard of measure based on metric. The big difference between the two being that SI doesn't use metric time.
It's 100% vested immediately and matched 20% (lots of people use this as a way to increase a portion of their pay check). However, although I'm a software engineer only my division would be considered IT as the main company is a packaging company. It is a nice perk tho as our stock (BLL) keeps going up.
A big downside to microdrives...there is a huge difference in transfer rates at different places on the disc. The outer surfaces are much slower to seek to..a friend had an early IBM md (512 mb or so) for his camera and noticed this....as the disc fills it takes a really long time to write images.
Actually, I belive he's saying that a certain amount of trust and strength of character is required when dealing with security of this level. If the guy is a known h4x0r, how do we know he doesn't exploid holes weeks before he decides to fix them in his grsec code?
Actually, even a single use has been show to significantly and permanantly change your brain chemistry. The results of this are still unknown as further research is needed but many of the changes greatly resemble the brain chemistry of people with severe clinical depression. On a personal note, I know a few regular Ecstasy users who will, for example, take some then eat cheese cake. That cheese cake is the best cheese cake they have ever tasted but the side effect is that they never are able to fully enjoy cheese cake again. This starts a typical negative reinforcement cycle that many drug addicts demonstrate (opiates are perhaps the worst and most well know). Need more drugs to feel the same, eventually need more drugs to feel less crappy. Possibly the worst lasting effect of drug use...
Everyone seems to be ignoring the telecom engineering program. If you are looking for a heavy telcom program that covers everything from network design to the physics behind various physical layer systems, that's the ticket.
Actually, it's always been like this. The hardware people who came up with hard drives back in the day used the regular metric system, not that wierd system that programmers used. There has always been confusion. The addition of tebi, etc. is there to alleviate it.
> I originaly thought that it is impossible to swap > over TCP.
Back in '95 (and earlier) we had a bunch of modified MicroVAX 2's with custom video boards and no disk. They booted, mounted all files systems, and swapped over TCP. Worked like a charm.:)
My computer desk has an Avery comfort grip ballpoint. Works well for jotting notes, signing things, etc. Also has a nice click to it and provides a good release of exess energy during long stints.
When I need to do some serious writing, I use a Cross classic century rolling ball or it's companion 0.5mm mechanical pencil.
I've also been known to use a variety of fountain pens when I'm writing letter's etc. (I'de love a Cross townsend but at $180-$300 they are a little out of my price range)
My power here spiked and I lost cable, and phone (DSL is still up tho..woo hoo!!). We are one of the few spots in NY with power I believe (prob because we are 15 miles from a nuclear plant).

Ummm...they use scanners and OCR...a very small percentage need humans to type them in (1% currently)

Collectors might want this "special" copy. There are people with too much money and too little sense.
A coworker at an old job used to "repair" RA-90 disk drives which had seized by baking them in an oven for an hour or so. This actually used to work!

Already happening....recently, New York state classified Vonage as a phone company.

block all
that's not so tough is it? linksys could easily fit that in a ROM on one of their consumer firewalls. even simpler than NAT actually
