To get REALLY technical, the number of 'digits' an IP address has depends on the base of your 'digits'. An IP address has 8 hex digits, or 32 binary digits, or 8-10 decimal digits, depending on the actual number (unless you want to zero placehold, which isn't usual with decimal numbers).
Getting a 2 year A.S. first, then transfering to a 4 year school can be a great idea. You get courses that might be more job-applicable. You get an idea of what you might really want. It's cheaper.
I'm 39, and still take classes at my local communitiy college.
I'm not trying to knock any method. I think the more important thing is to understand what the options really are, and do what's right for you. When I started my CS degree, I didn't have the foggiest idea what CS was. Turns out I enjoyed it, but that was luck as much as anything. Liking to program doesn't neccessarily equate to liking CS.
As for part time- I agree completely. Some schools are geared to kids getting out of high school, and spending 4 years, no more no less. A lot of us don't have white picket fences.
Well, if the person claiming they can learn C# in an afternoon knows VB.NET (i.e. the.NET framework) and something like C or Java, C# as-you-go is pretty reasonable. Occasionally they'll have to look up C# particulars, but they'll know what they're looking for. It also helps if they'll be working on existing code, as opposed to code from scratch.
If you just want a job, go to a 2 year college and cram in as much as possible off his list. Do some stuff on your own if you have to. Fast, cheap, you'll be in the job market right away.
On the other hand, if you find yourself asking deeper questions in class, and instructors either not able, or not willing to take the class time to answer, maybe you should go to a 4 year after all.
I've used very little of my B.Sc directly in the last 12 years. But I can't count the number of times that something I learned has been very important to what I do. I also have a better perspective. People without a broad background tend to focus on solutions in their knowledge domain. People who understand how big the domain is can look outside it.
XML? Good grief! What do people like me who finished school before XML even existed do? Cry that we missed out? Or just learn it on the job, like every other new technology that appears after graduation day? The cutting edge is a moving target. If you try to aim for it, you'll be out of date by the time you finish. If you build a strong background, you'll be sharpening the edge.
Sure, there will be employers out there who expect to already have experience in some obscure specific software they use. But there are those willing to treat coursework as experience. 2 years in the workforce, and it will be irrelevant.
One thing I will say, is that you should round yourself out with some electives such as: business, economics, accounting, law, etc. A lot of people can write code. Not everyone understands the business reasons behind the code.
I'll believe it when god starts getting a little selective in its smiting.
New Orleans may have some wild parties, but so do other places. And New Orleans also has a lot of 'God Fearing(tm)' people.
Like the article said. There aren't more natural disasters, we're just paying more attention because there are more people living where they happen to happen.
I don't think the problem was a breach of the levee. What the levees can't do is protect you from water from above. In fact, they serve to keep the water in. At least that's what I remember from a documentary I saw over a year ago, which predicted exactly this situation. Which I could remember the title.
And if you are disconnected that often, and not running any services that are time dependent, why are you worried about the time sync anyway?
The only time critical application is my wife looking at the time in the morning and freaking out thinking's she's late:-) I just find it bizzare that it's off THAT much. I'll probably do the net time just for the heck of it- thanks!
Is that why my Computer's time is 5-10min fast per day? I wouldn't think the computer time would be based on the same clock that runs the instruction cycle...
And does anyone know what I can change in the registry (XP Pro) to make it update via ntp more often?
banks continue to train people to be good little phishies by sending legitimate email with links in it. Yes, I can tell the difference, and Bank of America sends me notices such as 'statement ready' or 'bill from X' with direct links to login and view/pay.
I've complained that they should include text alerting people to never click on links in email, and not include any links. When the 'good' email trains people to be careful, the 'bad' email will be less successful.
What's unique is where the design is going. What exists now is browsers with exta features to translate the non-accessible. What is envisioned is tools to make web sites more accessible in the first place.
One is a slap-on fix, the other is from the ground up. One is ok if it's all you have, but the other will work better in more situations for more people.
We often say free speech is tested by those who say things we don't agree with. His idiocy should not be the test of whether or not his web site should be removed.
The fact that FedEx used the DMCA in a trademark dispute is worrisome. Whether or not one is guilty of theft, one should not be convicted of drunk driving for stealing. What concerns me is not so much 'the man' beating up on this one little guy. Sure, maybe he deserves it. I want to know that 'the man' is following the rules, so that they'll at least follow the rules when I do something they don't like.
You see, the value in the book isn't in the part that the used-book dealer sells. He's selling information that he didn't produce, support, or add to at all. The used book industry is essentially a giant leech on the butt of textbook publishers.
Most used businesses are giant leeches, if you look at it that way. All manufacturers would love it if we were completely non-recycling. As for what a used-book dealer adds, they add the same as eBay adds. They help buyers and sellers find each other. And they take a cut for that. People will resell things they no longer need. They'll do it on eBay, at swap meets, at yard sales, and to friends.
My wife had a college text book last year which had 'online content', (a CD and a piece of paper with a unique serial number). The ONLY thing the CD contained, was the url of a web site. Go to the web site, and register with your serial number and email address.
They haven't spammed her, but they have prevented her from being able to sell the book along with the online content, unless she wants to give up her email address.
Yes, we should have made up a new free address. Didn't think it through fast enough.
Evolution takes a lot more FAITH to believe than Creation!
Er, I was going to say 'no', but I guess it depends on the person. But...
Why not teach them side by side.
If you really like this 'side by side' thing, then teach things which have evidence (evolution) and then teach things that don't have evidence (Biblical creation, Hindu creation, Greek/Roman creation etc)
The 'Adam and Eve' story is no more or less valid than the 'Turtle made man out of mud' story.
Perhaps we are an alien experiment. They set up a planet, start life on it, leave some fossils and a bible, and see what people decide. Sure, anything is possible.
On the other hand, Scientific theories such as evolution are arrived at via a process of observation, emperical evidence, testing, etc.
Religious beliefs are arrived at by reading a book, be it the bible, koran, bhagavad gita, or grimm's fairy tails.
As long as we hold out that we could be an alien experiment, anything can be disproven. That is irrelevant to what is a valid theory and what isn't. What is relevant is 'how we got to it'.
I read somewhere (no doubt on slashdot) that the skills required to recognize competence are the same skills that make one competent. So, incompetent people don't have the skills to know they are incompetent.
The authors did acknowledge the possibility that they were incompetent, and just didn't now it.

Not so long as they had the permission of the copyright owner of the actual file(s) they copied.
They're probably guilty of a host of other things, but not copyright infringement.
That's 9 digits and 3 dots.
Without the dots, it's 673720676, give or take a bit.
Or still 9 digits.

In fact, they used the BSD Unix TCP/IP stack a LONG time ago.

There are also more people NOT being affected by natural disasters.
Your IP address is available to anyone you're in the process of sharing with.
go ahead and mod me off topic, but from the article:
/.er does it, but this is the NY @!#$ing Times!
"With competition from video games, hundreds of television channels and DVD's, that's no longer the case, he said."
I can let it go when the average

What does a piece of firewood have to do with web browsers?
We often say free speech is tested by those who say things we don't agree with. His idiocy should not be the test of whether or not his web site should be removed.

I want to know that 'the man' is following the rules, so that they'll at least follow the rules when I do something they don't like.
It would really suck if people had to make sure their personal web sites in .com domains had no textual or pictoral reference to any major corporation.
Stealing boxes is irrelevent. Putting pictures of FedEx boxes on a web site with 'fedex' in the name is what they're all hot and bothered about.

Evolution doesn't create a thing in R&D
Sure it does. Trial and error. Very rarely is anything designed perfectly from the start.
Why does everthing we create require us to develop/design
Entity A developing entity B is not the only way things have to happen. It is just one way.
why didn't cars pop up from the ground by themselves
Who keeps making the new (biological) viruses?
