Except a citation is not necessary for that. Citations are necessary when you directly quote someone else -- not when you apply concepts you gleaned from another's work. Yes, a citation might have been helpful; no, it shouldn't be necessary.
Are they seriously pushing this as a crowd control product? I mean, tear gas is bad and not used often, but after a few hours, you're all back to normal. What's going to happen to a city that uses this on demostrators, many of whom will end up in the hospital with big doctor's bills. Would those demostrators not have a legitamit case against the city/county/state/fed goven't that did that?
Really, there should be some kind of -5, spell_nitpicking, and it should be used on people who post trite comments like the above. It goes without saying that collage really meant college, so why waste the effort pointing it out?
I know I am prolly going to get mod'd down to flamebait for this, but here goes:
I actually *agree* the labor deptartment on this one. I mean, the purpose of unemployment benefits is to cushion the edge of being laid off and give you a little something until you get back on your feet. If you aren't looking for work, you're cheating the system and the community -- what's to stop everybody from freeloading? Hence, the rule seems a sort of necessity. He should have expect the man to come down on him from the time his website became popular - I mean, don't they always?
A few weeks ago, someone on/. made an observation referring to napster, but I think it applies equally well to X-files... "it's like a small animal that's been hit by a car. It's flopping around, crippled, blood all over the pavement, and howling in pain. Someone put it out of its misery."
Apple has released Mac OS X 10.1.3 via the software update mechanism, which delivers enhancements that improve the reliability of Mac OS X applications, important security features and includes new and updated support for a variety of Digital Hub peripheral devices. Specific updates include:
CD Disc Recording Peripherals: Expanded support for QPS, EZQuest, LaCie, Yamaha, MCE Technologies and Sony devices
Image Capture and iPhoto: Improved support for several digital camera models from Canon, Kodak and Sony
DVD Playback on external VGA displays on PowerBook G4 (Graphics/OpenGL)
PowerBook video mirroring will be on by default when connecting to a new display (Graphics/OpenGL)
Improvements for iTunes when the full screen visualizer is used (Graphics/OpenGL)
Login authentication support for LDAP and Active Directory services (networking/improvements)
OpenSSH version 3.0.2p1 (networking/improvements)
WebDAV support for Digest authentication (networking/improvements)
Mail includes support for SSL encryption (networking/improvements)
Oh come on, with their excellent reputation for high quality, and showing that they care about the customer - who wouldn't be first in line to get their services? Oh wait, M$ fits this description better than verizon. Nevermind.
Is there any chance the judge will force M$ to open up the source to IE? If the source code was opened up, would that be any help to the WINE people in reverse engineering the windows API's?
The networks are still bound by FCC regulations that through the airwaves transmissions be in the clear - that means that the big players, if they want to keep broadcasting through the airwaves, would be unable to prevent copying of those signals. Is there any way they could prevent people from taping in-the-clear signals?
Isn't the purpose of the discovery phase to discover relavant information - or at the very least, the appearance of relavance? How does this info help microsoft prepare for the lawsuit? If it IS irrelavant, isn't there some procedure for challenging it?
The problem with FPS's is that it gets so damned repetitive. Run around, grab items, shoot a near-endless supply of enemies. Except for quality of graphics, how are today's FPS's different than Doom?
I mean, all the cable companies have to pay for laying the wires, and maintence thereof. The programming costs are covered by the networks, which in turn get paid for by the commercials. So when you end up paying $40+ a month for basic cable, what is that going towards?
I thought you needed a ton of permits to work with ionizing radiation, and it would stand to reason that to get them you would have to prove what you are doing is safe. How did they manage to get the permits and get this started so suddenly?
that's an exact quote from Prof. Phillip Christie, one of my profs and one of the authors of the Matlab software/CAD/Design toolkit. From what I've done in java (and the problems i've had) I wholeheartedly agree with him.
The problem with Java is that that it was supposed to be write-once, run anywhere. Instead, it's become write once, debug everywhere. If M$ is going to try to follow the same path, they need to avoid the pitfall of platform incompibilities, IMHO.
The problem with linux is that if it breaks or otherwise doesn't work, you're own your own to fix it - and if want to do something useful with it, it's 10x harder to do anything with Linux that it is with Microsoft. Now, you're going to take a country full of people (ma's and pa's and people who have otherwise never used a computer) and give them an OS like that? You're going to get 10 million doors stops

That's the only thing I could think while reading the story.

Sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well into text. My fault, I apologize.

If Jack Valente and Hilary Rosen had a child, would it be the antichrist?

Just my $.02
That's some good stuff, and not too far off the mark, either.

When did the whole notion of buying software die, makeing licensing become necessary?
Shouldn't Microsoft already be filing a motion to keep the goverment from publishing all those "Trade secrets?"

Yet another FPS game based on it's predecessor's engine. Just like the car industry - nearl no innovation.
