Are those that go to the big elites more connected anyway, thus enabling them to obtain the higher paying jobs out of college?
Coming out of an Ivy can open a very powerful network. I council undergrads at my alma mater to not focus on grades, but networking, unless they're going to grad school. Corporate recruiting is a good way to get a big-salary job you don't really deserve, and that typically sets a floor for your career. If you're pulling in $80K to start instead of $40K, does an extra $150K in debt make that much difference? With this strategy, one can be debt-free in 5 years instead of 20 (assuming some self-control).
I chose to keep my soul instead, but if money and power is your goal, a top-tier school is a good investment.
Folks with a few spare cycles/resources who are growing tired of these 'module' measuring contests might want to throw a bone to Parrot VM. Write a module in ruby, use it from perl6, python, lua, tcl, whatever, or pick any combination above.
I won't wave the red flag explicitly, but suffice it to say I look forward to good ruby performance on parrot.
The only time I tried shipping a product based on CPAN stuff, I wound up shipping the entire bundle as one, because there's just no way to download it from CPAN and depend on having the exact versions of the modules you developed with available
Good choice, that's what you're supposed to do if you're shipping a product. Perl includes tools to help you do this. Fortunately, your app was probably stored on $1 worth of storage.
You could also specify a no-breakage OS (e.g. RHEL, debian stable) and write your app to what they're shipping.
Unfortunately, exactly the wrong ones would, the most fanatic ones.
So, why don't they now? Because they're afraid of the Nation States retaliating? Given their fanatic ways, wouldn't they not care?
I think there are not enough wealthy fanatics to make it feasible as a charity situation. Without coercive extraction, the donation model is the only one that could fund such efforts. Also, consider that counter-'charities' would be well-incentivized to see that they were not successful. If the IRA can run a war out of Boston, taking out a nuclear development program wouldn't be any harder.
But look at the costs involved - there are very few megalo-corps who could even afford the research, much less the development, because they can't force the money/labor out of a populace to fund the project. And they have very little incentive to do so. Besides that, no corporate entity large enough could exist without the corporate protections granted by the Nation State that backs it.
The status quo is what leads to North Korea and Iran, both ideologically insane, one religiously, with nukes.
The title is misleading, but the fact that quantum computing breaks RSA is pretty standard knowledge
Yeah, but even if they knew it was RSA, breaking into a house is still easier than running a quantum computer. The FBI is pretty expert in this type of crime.
This operation was probably cheaper and took less time than getting access to the box at Fort Meade.
Really, Bank of America should not be helping Wikileaks in any way - Wikileaks is threat to their corporate future. They'd be stupid to help Assange, et. al. bring them down.
Full disclosure: I have a financial interest in Bank of America's stock underperforming (the market only took BAC down 3% on the Wikileaks news - my target is $4.50). This news makes me feel positive about that speculation. Wait, am I on Slashdot or the investing site?;)
You are already the only country to ever actually use nuclear weapons. If you demonstrate that you are willing to do that again, you would have become a danger to the entire world.
Nuclear weapons signaled the point at which nation state governments became too dangerous to keep around. It seems we'll only recognize this as a species in retrospect, sadly.
*kill the NEA, we're locking away people for harming themselves... at a cost of nearly 200 billion a year and we aren't getting any tax money from sales tax on legalized drugs. Also gangs are like under alcohol prohibition funded by illegal activities like drug dealing.
I agree the NEA operates like a gang, but I didn't realize our education problems stemmed so heavily from the teachers hitting the reefer.
Interestingly, this hoses us Roku. It says, "oh, wow, you get 4 dots of bandwidth here, super... playing" and then "oh, noes, I have to buffer, wait," before just giving up and saying, "ok, 2 dots for you."
These rules are imposed by people who believe that if you can get a majority of people to believe in something then it's the right thing to do. Individuals are marginalized.
I think you're missing the bigger picture too. It may be possible, with this new technology, to build a rig that will clean up the garbage patch and power itself with the garbage. Greenpeace (or a sane version of it) could fund the project.
Well, I'm not. I saw a needed edit, edited, and had the edit deleted. I've got better things to do than play office politics with a bunch of strangers; I get enough of that at work.
Yes. I made an edit to a famous author's page which neglected to mention his efforts towards eugenics and forced sterilization. It was deleted. I put it back with a citation. It was deleted. I sourced a copy of the original book, it was deleted. I gave up.
Basically, any article on WP is framed by a dedicated editor with a perspective. There's little there that's false, and there's quite a bit missing. WP should have a process to 'fire' such editors - it would never stand at a reputable organization.
God, I don't mean to go full-geek on you here, but:
We know that Destiny can handle 27 years, no problem. We also know that the Daedalus can as well, since there was that episode where they all grew old on it (or one of its sister ships).
"Porno" only means 'dirty' - for Aunt Bessie, that young lass traipsing around in her underpants might be 'dirty' behavior. For some religions, sexual intercourse is part of their ceremony.
Among 7 billion humans there is great variation - who'd've guessed?
and yet it falls to an engineer to salvage this incredible footage, edit and narrate it (with his engineer friends). I've watched countless series of documentaries about NASA's various space programs and have never come across such excellent footage, so well explained.
Ever talk to a newspaper reporter and then read his story? Primary sources are ideal.
So why weren't ISPs demanding IPv6 ready hardware for the last 2 upgrade cycles?
They weren't available until a year or so ago. Sure, you could do IPv6 in software, but doing in in specialized hardware is just recently available (and what's required). So, 4 years from now should be safe to switch over.

The Linux support is excellent
Unix attributes and all? Is is smart about syncing deleted and changed files? Excludes (~/.ssh, etc.) are easy?
Unfortunately, exactly the wrong ones would, the most fanatic ones.

Maybe a cooperative without profit motive has more impetus to keep their client-owners happy.
See what socialism gets you?
A co-op is the opposite of socialism. Those paying are directly receiving the benefits.
Drudge was driving traffic to the newspaper that published the image, just as Google does.
TFTFY

(I've been wondering the same thing about the diplomatic cables honestly)
Because the State Department is freaking out, Hillary Clinton is bowing out of politics, and nobody is refuting them?
Your view on the world is criminally simplistic
I think you're missing the bigger picture too. It may be possible, with this new technology, to build a rig that will clean up the garbage patch and power itself with the garbage. Greenpeace (or a sane version of it) could fund the project.
when did this notable/non-notable shit kick in?
Duh, space on the Internet is limited.
Well, I'm not. I saw a needed edit, edited, and had the edit deleted. I've got better things to do than play office politics with a bunch of strangers; I get enough of that at work.

They're just looking out for their customers, although in this case it is slightly unexpected.
To be fair, they're also hurting Google's WebM efforts at the same time. 2 birds.
But I agree, this should be available.
I *loved* sliders until they killed the professor and introduced the Kromags.
I suspect the professor heard about the Kromags and asked to be put out of his misery.

So much potential and it was squandered.
Last two seasons of Stargate, all of Atlantis, heck, ST:Voyager for that matter.
I think I read they were averaging 2.5 million viewers and the shows cost about a million to produce. That's what, 50 cents a download?
Time to get out the old Society Wrench...
For me "porn" only applies if there's sex
"Porno" only means 'dirty' - for Aunt Bessie, that young lass traipsing around in her underpants might be 'dirty' behavior. For some religions, sexual intercourse is part of their ceremony.
