What the doctors don't realize is that the Multidata software gives different answers in this configuration depending on how the hole is drawn: draw it in one direction and the correct dose is calculated, draw in another direction and the software recommends twice the necessary exposure.
Emphasis mine... but that sounds like a software bug to me. Doesn't matter that only 4 shielding blocks were allowed. That's a limitation. The argument of whether or not a "work-around" as used by the doctors should have been allowed by the software in the first place is not the issue here. The issue is that drawing the same thing in 2 different directions causes 2 different results.
'This Service Pack removes the cloaking technology component that has been recently discussed in a number of articles published regarding the XCP Technology used on SONY BMG content protected CDs. This component is not malicious and does not compromise security. [snip]' Doesn't compromise security MY ASS! What about that little "feature" where any file name starting with $sys$ is hidden from the user? I can do that right now with some sort of keyboard snooper if I wanted to.
I can see it now... my boss goes to log in, but first I intercept him: "Hey boss, I bought you this CD... give it a listen, I'll wait"
That's 417 street lamps per acre, or one for every three feet of your 60 miles of road.
You do realize this entire location is underground? One lamp every 3 feet on the roads would probably be good enough to keep the road visible, especially if they're sodium vapor (vapour, in the spirit of the article) lamps. Seeing as there are lots of tunnels, there's probably 1 lamp per 6' on each side.
Recording Industry execs prove their own stupidity! I mean, threaten the biggest online music store over pulling your music? Don't want that extra revenue stream, eh? If you say so...
I'm sure Mr. Jobs will respond with something resembling laughter, or perhaps a "Sure, go ahead, see if we care." At least they'll look like the bad guys.
I dunno... I have cable modem also, and my upstream is also crap. But I was downloading Fedora Core 4 last night, both i386 and x86-64 versions, at a combined 600k/sec. With my upload capped at 30k/sec combined.
Do you realize how long it takes for my BT client to actually contact and connect to enough peers to start downloading a file at greater than dialup speed? I can download the entire/. front page before that happens.
And you want me to do that for every single image on a site? I'd go insane!
Perhaps he wants to set up a directory of local methamphetamine labs, a la Google Local Search?

On the contrary, I think that there comes a point where you have to make some fundamental changes to the controller setup before certain types of gameplay can be realized in a fun and worthwhile fashion. How many people would be playing Dance Dance Revolution if it had never been paired with a "dance mat" controller?
Hell, I don't even play DDR (I'm terrible at it), but I've helped build 4 standalone arcade-style controllers for it for a friend. Its even better then on a little plastic mat. They would have "Drunken DDR" parties and such (I was just there for the "drunken" part) and piss off the neighbors. People who didn't even play video games normally would be there, having a great time.
I'm surprised. Most spammer businesses seem to be based out of Boca Raton, FL (a fact that makes me pissed off, being a Floridian). No little pips in FL... yet. I guess I should wait a few days.
Either that or they still use open relays (or even zombie computers at this point), so they won't show up.
Better than what I (and probably others here on/.) went through. 9/11 and the resultant recession killed the job market right as I was getting ready to graduate in 2003. I took what I could get, and now, I've moved up to a better job.
You fly (using cursors) in first person mode over a spooky dark violet landscape, at night, and at one point you find a tombstone with designer names scrolling through its surface.
The original poster must have a job that is pretty mindless. It used to be pretty easy for me to turn my brain "off" in regards to work issues when I had a boring ass job that I didn't need to think for. Now that I'm back writing software, its very hard for me to leave it behind, especially when I'm involved with a difficult problem. It has always been that way for me. I find that taking some time with a co-worker (different department, but still a software geek like myself) helps work out details or shed light on new solutions. Most often, that takes place at a nearby restaurant.
I also have good friendships with co-workers... heck, I bowl in a league with 5 other teams from the company!
Because if the engine's are still running but there's no fuel left, the engines will tear themselves apart violently, potentially destorying the shuttle.
Somebody explain how the engines will tear themselves apart if they run out of fuel. Is it some kind of pressure differential thing?
NASA engineers are waiting for the astronauts to disembark so they can troubleshoot the sensor while the tank is still full. The way they were discussing it on NASA TV, the tank will be defueled at some point, so they wanted to run some tests before that.
Funny enough, we had a supervisor here who talked nothing but driving accountability. Yet, when you tried to hold somebody accountable for their mistake or lack of action on an issue (God, I sound like a manager without even trying) that seemed to disappear. Hold so-and-so accountable for us missing 20 unit shipments this month? Whatever do you mean? Almost like he didn't know the meaning of the word.
In my former department, we had an entire 8 hour meeting to develop our mission and vision statements for the year. It all revolved around fitting in some buzzword the top-level director (of Production at the time) wanted to see in everybody's statements. For example, "world-class" was 2 years ago.
We, being engineers, came up with a truely well-written mission and vision we all could agree on, since we're the who have to uphold it. It was subsequently butchered by the boss because it didn't contain said buzzwords.
Don't forget the criticality of leveraging our synergies while realigning to the voice of the customer. We need to continue to drive accountability through an established quality stand-down protocol and go-forward plan.

But then it turned into something like "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HA HA! BUUUUUURRRRRN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Then I couldn't breathe anymore and had to take a break.

Both individuals will be subject to local prosecutions, the FBI said.
In other words, a few horse heads will show up in some beds, some vague threats made, and they'll get off with no punishment.

And some nachos.
I lost all the data on an old hard drive once... after I beat the shit out of it with a hammer.
It was a dying drive, didn't need it anymore. So we had fun! The platters made a nice spiral in the air after I broke the spindle off...
Co-designed by Osaka-based Hers Laboratories, Xbox 360 sports a softer and more feminine look than its predecessor.
Do they also design Dell corporate workstations? I swear I have one on my desk that looks just like it, but in black.

Sure, if you like cookie-cutter, everything sounds the same music. I guess it would have fit in with MTV.
But do you think Dvorak thinks that Creative Commons is dumb? Its kinda hard to tell from his article...

Funny, every time I try to pose this exact argument or make this point in some kind of article about the RIAA/MPAA, I get lambasted.
