Perhaps Red Hat understood that given a person is smart enough and have the desire to verify signed packages, that if a package fails verification that they could make their own choice to install based on the information that it may not be secure.
Actually, an african-american by the name of Garrett Augustus Morgan invented the traffic light (http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/morga n.htm)
There are more American inventions in your list, but that's all I wanted to nit-pick though.
Americans are also the founders of many useful processes. One major idea is the idea of machining. Britian was going to tax the Colony on the crappy machine tools they had, so we made our own superior quality machines which was a cornerstone of the industrial revolution. One machine tool was then turned around to make parts for a new one and so on and so forth. During World War II, something like 5000 unique machine tools were created to make parts. Now, the manufacturing process works in stages, where you take a blank piece, put it in each machine needed to do a unique task on the piece. I saw a History Channel show about it, they were showing that today, for example, they had a part about the size of a tire that delivers fuel to a jet engine. When it turns, it can drain all the water in an olympic-sized swimming pool in 59 seconds! Only in America...
I recently found out that a girl that she and I mutually liked each other, I went away to college here on the east coast and she moved to SLC, Utah. I wish I could find her but I don't know if she'd remember me. I watched The Insomniac Show with Dave Attell and he went to SLC and I unwittingly tried to see if she was in there. man, I'll never forget Sarah.
I understand what you are trying to say. In the episode of Law and Order, I guess I got so fired up, just like the ADA, because that Nazi guy was preaching hate to angry and violent teenagers that were alone, and I didn't want him doing that to those kids, so I was willing to say "hey, you can't do that to those kids".
But I understand what you mean, that we should be educated enough to identify "Mein Kampf", religious broadcasts, or political speechs and tune it out if we want.
The eternal question might be, where does the culpability lie, in the ones that do the crime, or the ones that put the ideas in their head?
Good response, I enjoyed reading it. I'd even give you a mod point or two but I've been talking to you instead.
So, you are equating me to the same people that tell others to hate Jews and other groups of people, that's a big mistake. People like you have eroded the idea of free speech to broaden it so wide that you've lost the scope in which it was written. We've been over this before, go and read my parent reply, Freedom of Speech is about freedom to share ideas, not to stand on a soap box and tell others to hate anyone not like them and be prejudice. If you understand the difference, you'll know what I mean.
I hope you never run for office because you don't really grasp the law as it's written. You just regurgitate what you hear from some jerk off the street and think that's the way it is.
No, I'm saying it's a good idea to stretch the law to imprison someone for hate speech, in the same way, I could say it's a bad idea to stretch the law to imprison someone that preached radical ideas (like years ago, ideas that the Earth is round). I identify that hate speech only breeds violence, there's no positive result from hate speech. There are no morals or ethics taught. I'm merely saying that pulling that 1920's ruling by the US Supreme Court and stretching it to defeat this Nazi guy, that is a step in the right direction.
I was watching Law and Order and they said that in 1927 I believe, the US Supreme Court ruled that free speech is a freedom of conversation. They said that if you and I have a structured conversation where ideas are transferred in a civil manner, that is protected.
However, in the case the specific episode was about was this Neo-Nazi organizer the starring circle was trying to convict for a list of crimes. He never actively comitted a crime but openly preached hate speech and hugged the freedom of speech while doing so. They tried to nail him based on this US Supreme Court finding and they won the case. They admit it was a stretch but it was a stretch in the right direction.
I'm a junior in Computer Engineering now myself and I hear plenty of students bitching about the math. I'll tell you what I tell them, they teach you all that math for several reasons that I've thought about and what's told to me:
Experience in calculus to help relate from the theoretical side to the practical side
To test your ability to apply your mind to such abstract ideas as multivariable differentiation and differential equations. It provides a way to weed out the people that can't go that far. I sure don't want people that can't quite reach that far in math getting a degree.
I think the level of math, english, physics and everything else is just fine.
I'd like to also response to the original article, if you want actual experience, then change to a technical major. At my school, the EE/CpE department has a technology curriculum. You can choose to take the EE (electrical engineering) curriculum or the EET (electrical engineering technology). As you might have guessed, the EE is more theoretical, you spend more time in lectures, whereas in the same manner, an EET might spend more time in labs. The same exists for a CpE (me) and a CpET (aka a Comet). If you want hands-on, then change majors, it's that simple. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I like the theory side much more, I get to understand what's going on more, plus I'll get paid more which is always nice.
I was just about to say the same thing, I guess the guy doesn't know about the concept of diminishing returns. My unshielded Radio Shack copper wire sounds just fine, and with very nice speakers.
Krabappel: Now, whose calculator can tell me what seven times eight is?
[the kids rush to the sum. Milhouse Van Houten has an answer] Milhouse: Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Low battery?
But on a serious note, I can tell you I suffer the same thing, mainly because I got a TI-89 about 5 years ago and I rely on it to perform lengthy reductions for me of multiple terms with multiple variables, solve simultaneous equations and things like that. There are good and bad things about getting something like this. The good is that it saves me precious minutes or seconds on the exam when solving simultaneous equations as opposed to the people having to use Kramers Rule (matrices used for solving) or another method. The bad part is that it takes me much longer to do simpler things like add numbers even.
I was playing Yahtzee the other day and I had to count up my score on Chance and everyone at the table counted faster than me and those guys have scientific calculators, not even a graphing calculator like I do. It's really a judgement call, because if it wasn't, everyone would be making the same decision. Don't believe me? Take travelling to a job, would you say it's faster to walk or ride in transportation (bike, bus, subway, car, etc...), unless you work within a few blocks of where you live, you take a ride, right? That's what I mean because it's not a judgement call, if you have to drive 30 minutes to work, given a rational thinking human, they'd always use transportation. The only decisions left to make are judgement calls.
I know too many guys that drive Corvettes that have their heads stuck up their asses and think they "have it made", just like the jerk japanese imports with the body kits and screwdriver-sized holes in the muffler so it "sounds rough" or the guys with the beehive-sounding motor.
The above outlined guys are the kind that care what other people think about them, that their cars are an extension of themselves. If they buy body kits, they feels superior. Like-minded people will agree with them.
I see the 1988 Honda Accords with wings and laugh and say to myself "that car doesn't have the horsepower to effectively use that wing".
I also have a problem with modifications to a car in general because to me it says they think "hey, the car shouldn't have been made that way, it's too boring, let's riceify it" and that's a slap in the face to the designers. Granted, I'm speaking about body modifications mostly, if you race professionally, then of course you need to upgrade to something to win and make money. But that's not the point, the point is, if you don't have to, then don't do it.
This is mostly fueled by a rant I always make because I live in a very cheapy ricey environment, where there are ugly-ass wings, clear tailights and rims in every Dodge Neon, Honda Integra (even though owners won't admit it) and whatever cheap car that can have crap put on there. I'm sick of seeing it because someone has to tell them it looks like shit. To the people that fall into this category, your money is better spent elsewhere than on your car.
If anyone thinks of defending themselves because they feel offended, just don't say anything because nothing you can say can adequately support because I've read lots of material and there's nothing to rationalize such stupid modifications.
All I'll say about myself is that I drive a european car, not a VW bug and it's not a Corvette, somewhere in the middle. But it's completely stock and runs the same now as it did as it rolled off the factory floor in Ingolstadt Germany (hint).
As for S2000's, high rpm's aren't that big of a deal, the horsepower may be impressive but the torque is more important to me. How often are you going to use all 240 horses, not unless you run from the cops. A quick look listed the new 2003 S2000's with 153 lb-ft of torque which is pretty sad compared to the hype the S2000 gets.
Alright, I'm done, I'll submit this bad boy and then check the numerous amount of replies later.
Yeah, it's very interesting. The guy goes to look for a book, he can't find it so he walks up to a librarian and says "I can't seem to find this book" and the librarian says "I'm sorry, we don't have that book anymore." and she steps back as if she knows what's going to happen. The guy looks puzzled, thinking something along the lines of "that doesn't make sense". The camera then moves back and a narrator vocalizes the message and at the same time you can see the guy standing in the background and two or three government-looking guys in black suits come up and surround him and escort him away.
You and everyone else that laughs at that, go to Fox Searchlab and watch farmsluts (no porn shown) [17 minute clip, Quicktime format]. I'll spare you the details so you can laugh about it while watching it.
I'm in computer engineering at ODU and I'm definitely in the minority (being caucasian). However, we have more indian (not american indian) people, much more than chinese, egyptian, persian, or caucasian. The indian guys come in big groups that fill the entire sidewalk, enough that you need to walk in the grass to get around them. At least they understand things alot quicker than other people when I show someone how to do something. I hear that the reason why there are so many indians is that our school searches out students from particular regions of the world, else how could they all know to come here? At any rate, they are pretty good people, they don't disrespect anything and they actually care about doing well in school rather than squeaking by (like me).
I love Symphony of the Night, I bought an unopened copy on eBay cause a friend of mine had a copy that I saw. I never got into Castlevania games, but when I saw that game, I was hooked. I still put the disc in my PC and run an emulator to play it because my PC can load the game 50 times faster than a PS1. I also love the music, both original and symphonic sound. I used to practice the Soul Steal move and just walk around stealing souls left and right.
What I liked is as soon as Jimmy Woods (The Wizard) got the whistle, the girl with them said "use the whistle to warp to the next level" or something like that and I remember thinking "how the fuck does she know that?"
Who's bright idea was it to schedule this show on Bravo at the same time as the 300th episode it's honoring? Wouldn't they rather show it at 9pm (because there's a second episode at 8:30pm) and have a trailing message saying:
"For more Simpsons entertainment, tune into the Bravo channel now for Inside the Actors Studio with the men and women behind The Simpsons"
Not to mention that when you open software purchased from a store, you cannot return it for a refund.
That means if you buy Software Package X (and properly complete the transaction), take it home, open it and put the CD in to install. If you don't agree to the licence if you are prompted to agree or not, then you refuse to install the software and you cannot return the item to the store for a refund.
If I had mod points left to give out, you'd get a few funny ones for that. It's the same thing I was thinking. How can you release anything that's graphical without screenshots? Who does that?
