I used a couple of pop songs in my yearly video _last_ year, and it found and removed my post within minutes (it wasn't even public - just for friends).
I had to resort to embedding youtube video, that happily shows ads and allows you to buy these songs - I really wish Facebook had same, since watching youtube video on mobile in facebook client is suboptimal...
New radiolap is about this http://www.radiolab.org/story/... last antibiotics that got into market developed resistance in 2 years, so commercial companies don't want to deal with this
otoh at least this podcast gives hope (similar to article) that we just have to rotate the antibiotics we have:)
I have only really watched the video myself, it's an interesting idea - using webcam, microphone and your calendar, try to estimate how much is your time worth (in dollars) at any particular point of time. I guess the guy was so annoyed with IM that he decided to dedicate his research to it:)
I remember hearing a story that this system was used to determine the state of mind for soviet military pilots. You type a control paragraph of text, and then you have to type the same thing again before each flight. The computer just measures the pattern of how you type, and sinc ethere's substantial amount of text (not just shorter password) I guess it could work.
Of course this was easy to bypass if you just typed initial control text already drunk.:) Just make sure you are drunk for each flight afterwards.
BTW, I have also heard a lecture in my uni 15 years ago from a guy that was trying to develop the system to also determine general mood of the person by the way they typed. Not sure how far that went.
It doesn't allow you to stay permanently, but it does allow you to change your mind and apply permanently. This is unlike other temporary visas, that specifically say that you have to return. If you break that promise, they may not let you in again on a temporary visa.
This distinction is a huge deal if you want to get a visa into US. To get temporary visa, you have to have some reason to return. Education, relatives, business, work, property etc. If you are an unemployed young person, you are not getting a visa. If you are in the last year of school, it's a high probability too (YMMV of course).
So... you failed to mention that you can in fact apply for green card just after being on H1-B for 6 years. You don't have to be in a special category. 5 more years to get a citizenship. From entering USA as H1-B worker to becoming a citizen you need a minimum of 11 years.
why not just plop in a keylogger, or set up a hidden webcam to shoulder-surf
hm... well, there are many scenarios (in Russia for example) when TrueCrypt is used in gray accounting operations. in this case, the authorities only get once chance to grab the hardware, assuming nobody EMP'ed the computer:) (the hardware for that is available too... for real, with a remote control)
I have recently bought HL2 (finally!) that is officially localized to Russian (that's all they sell here). It also includes English version, which is what i played anyways. Worked fine here in CIS (ex-USSR) territory. This is no pirated game mind you, all perfectly legal, but it does sell for much less than HL2 does in the states ($10 on DVD media). This is frequently done here so that game could compete with pirated copies, which sell for approximately $5 per DVD.
However when i brought the laptop with installed HL2 to the States , i couldn't launch HL2 with basically the same message. So the issue is not new.
I am planning to buy orange box in the states, hoping it will "internationalize" my copy of HL2, or at least TF.
Migrating from Access to SQL would be logical for you. Clients keep using Access and its forms to access the data, so they keep the application that they developed, and you get managebility, proper multi-user and access permissions. It will be almost transparent for users.
It is much more real - the availability of new power plants depends on combinations of: 1) Mayor Rating 2) Number of high-wealth residents 3) Total power requirements 4) Total number of high-tech industry 5) Total energy demand
Same is true for all other nice things you get in that game. However, it's impossible to do that in one city, it just stagnates. The interaction between bordering cities it crucial. You basicaly get a region where you develop tens of cities, and RCI demand in one city affects the neighbour. The "deals" thing is same as in SC 3000, i.e. they can sell each other services. It's neat to have one "garbage" city, because that's really the only thing you can not get rid of safely in this game - only two options - garbade dump or waste-to-energy plant, both affect neighbours. Of course you can still have garbage island:)
Also, you can no longer build perfect city.

Wired article "Maybe there are spores in the Atacama after all.
That doesn't mean that we'll find them on Mars. But it sure does suggest that we might want to look. "
Because all systems in space research become so complex, you can not have error, and you only have one chance of running the program (or system), NASA started using special techniques, that allow them to formally verify every state of device in advance.
I remember reading article about that around Pathfinder time, when Polar Lander crashed because of software error. Here is that article from Wired. 50 man-years to verify the system, eh?
There is formal verification of algorithms in CS. However, in case of spacecraft it's more than software, it's hardware too, as we can see. And hardware does get included in verification too!
As a business software programmer, I find that fascinating. I can only imagine what the life would be if we used verification. Of course, the reality is that it will never happen, we are not rocket scientists:)
oh, and the name comes from name of small river that runs next to Moscow State University. Well, next to my parents place too:)
From the article i can find on that site, it seems that they were trying to build reliable low cost computer for their labs. They couldn't use transistors (which were just invented 5 years before), and couldn't use lamps, so they used magnetic elements. That's why trinary system was used, as mentioned by other posters, magnets have those three states:)
They actualy made a whole series, 50 of them, used in different institutions in USSR.
The whole East Coast from Boston to Washington was one sprawling, aging megalopolis. A spectacular, dysfunctional mess of regional regulators, profit-crazy power companies, obstreperous, crooked city councils, and snooty, never-in-my-backyard environmental activists. Every Greenhouse Summer since 1999 had sent New York temperatures creeping a degree or two higher. So everybody wanted electricity - because the choice was AC or heatstroke.
It was a vicious downward spiral: more heat, more power from the coal plants; more coal smoke, more Greenhouse heat. New York was a basket case, all band-aids on hemorrhaging wounds. Electric power, steam lines, gas lines, data - the city's vital systems were in lethal proximity, jammed into tight little metal conduits, like linear grenades running into the bowels of each and every building.

Really big issue for people on the road, imho.
take that... um... whoever is suing (according to wiki, it's not MS)
Probably not, considering that next-gen disks already use AVC-family compression, from what i remember.

the tracker link didn't work in 3.3 that i had since forever, but works fine in 3.4
mine is a terrible thing.
Heh, Soviet response to SDI is to slowly take over software market and then spread communism into all areas of human live! Slow and easy revolution :)
