Now, the real question is: can a COPYING file in a tar file count as a license, when the user doesn't need to sign a contract or indicate their affirmative agreement to the license terms in any way?
You'd better hope so. If it doesn't, then you have no right to distribute the tar file.
No, pure white is defined as maximum response for your sensor. This is, of course dependent on what you're looking with, but there isn't really any other way. If you want to compare two cameras, you should probably choose a candlepower near the limit of what a human can handle.
Were they utterly stupid, or did you utterly misunderstand their requirements?
They implemented a distributed SQL DB with no transactions, used SELECT *, and probably accessed resultsets by column index. No doubt about it, they were utterly stupid.
How are you ever going to maintain that pig? never mind if you have a joined query with 8k/row and 1000 results - how long will that take to load across the network, and how long should it take?
Now we are expected to work long hours and accept any conditions for what they are.
Do you really expect that programmers will accept this sort of crap? The good ones will leave or charge by the hour, and the ones that are left won't be able to do much beyond straightforward financial apps (admittedly, a large market).
It's a continuum - i don't expect to fully define the system before beginning, but having requirements change every damn day makes it impossible to work.
For those who don't know, n-way set associativity means that a cache can retain n values that map to the same cache line, so a 4-way cache can hold 4 lines that map to the same cache position.

Intel's Big Chip
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Intel can now demo a 5GHz chip using the.13 micros process that can run at room temperature.
Big deal. It has 12 instructions, is ~2mm^2, and consumes 267mW. This looks more like research than something that you would use for real work.
Okay. Sickle cell anemia is an advantageous mutation if you live in an area with lots of malaria (large portions of Africa), but only in its partially expressed form. This is a good reason why people from Africa tend to have the gene. Malaria kills most of the people without it and those who have it fully expressed die within short order.
Since you base your claim on the cost being dominated by digging costs, I'd say that they cost the same - 2% or something. The problem is that the equipment is fairly expensive, fiber is touchy to deal with, and you probably won't need fiber to the home, ever.

pure white is, well, completely bogus

INS works hard to make sure the visa holders make more than the Americans
Yeah, all 40 of them. Get a clue yourself
It really happens... You cannot turn off auto updates in XP
Sure you can - you just need to perform some registry surgery. Anybody know the keys in question?

I know about XP - it won't help you when the people handling requirements don't know what they want.
If you are thinking of experimenting with your wireless equipment be aware of the FCC regulations
That's what 2.4Ghz is for - keep it under 250mw and you're fine.
You didn't happen to work in NYC did you?
"So, you want feature X? Put it in that box - we'll look at it after we release."
I'll bet that your worst were ex-engineers that knew development but had zero people skills.
Number 2 on your list isn't ever going to happen

They do it because there is a law against using unlicensed software. It's called stealing.
No, it's called copyright infringement, which is a civil offense. Stealing is a criminal offense
I pay for the fire brigade, so I get my house fire put out. That is the product of the fire brigade.
Well, if the potential is too concentrated anywhere during the lightning strike, you could end up standing under a glopo of melted copper.
The desktop war is only won when everybody has stopped fighting it
By that logic, World War 2 lasted until the lates 50's when the last Japanese soldiers stopped fighting it
why should I waste my time reporting bugs?
Because you want the bugs to be fixed. You presumably already like the product enough to want to use it. What more do you want, a bounty?
but I wonder if the bottleneck isn't the fiber, but the other hardware
You are correct, sir. Fast routers are really expensive. Laying 10 or 20 extra fibers is comparatively cheap.
Our new CPU is so big it will CRUSH the competition

If they do that with the next engine, their next game will have images comprised of 6,250,000 polys
Man, I'd hate to be the artist that has to make the content for that.
Let's use your Sickle-Cell gene as an example

This is a good reason why people from Africa tend to have the gene. Malaria kills most of the people without it and those who have it fully expressed die within short order.
I just bought a Gig of DDR ECC ram for $150 from compsource, so there's a datapoint for you.
