Other books at especially high risk include those that sell to the student (particularly college student) market as secondary reading. A student could easily grab the relevant chapter or two out of a book without paying for it. Students certainly have the time and most likely the inclination to do so, and, with the help of some willing colleagues, could print out the entire texts of books in the program.
And they sure as hell do this right now by using a copy machine in a library. I did it, everyone else I know did, what's the big deal?
For one thing, college books are overpriced, buying required text is no easy matter. Publishers campaign like crazy on campus trying to push every "brand new" pages-swapped-nothing-else-changed 33rd editions of the same crappy quality textbooks to make sure new students cannot borrow books from seniors. Now they state it in public: not only you have to buy new s#it every time, you also have to buy every supplementary reading around. Bastards. Greedy, sleazy bastards, all of them.
Actually, the only difference between MEMORY and STORAGE DEVICE is speed.
Nah, there is at least one other: persistence.
HDDs and flash are persistent, memory chips are not.
Maybe you should think a little next time before screaming profanities, even if it is just/.;-D
The biggest thing that I've noticed is that it's UNIQUE (at least to modern popular TV-centric culture).
Perhaps you should check deeper:
original
and translation
(pretty bad, I know).
And, yes, I think bros knew this book - two are similar in many respects.
During every war, EVERY WAR before 1980, the US suspended either Habius Corpus, Press access, etc. Not since 1980. Right now, the US has more war time liberty than any other nation has ever enjoyed. PERIOD. Go study history.
Um, what wars do you refer to exactly?
IIRC the last war for USA was WWII.
Same with the side-scrollers.... if no new games are being made for that genre, then it's dying.
You obviously missed Duke Nukem Manhattan Project (don't confuse with Duke Nukem Forever;-D) - this was absolutely the best side-scroller I've ever seen. Mind me, it is _3d_ side-scroller! =%-]
And that's a whole naked truth - why would hackers be interested in the OS that every script kiddo can take down with two fingers of her weak hand. Good we have Linux (GNU/Linux. HBD, RMS!) and *BSD.
further it demands faculty teach in non-Microsoft stuff. Don't expect to find a large population of these folks.
'cuse me for asking, but what University are you from where they breed MS-only professors?
Personally, I'd be hard pressed to point two of these among our CSci faculty, hell, even one =8-) Most folks do UNIX, since you can't really do most research in Windows anyway.
$2.4 million is what, about $350 per student? You reuse the same hardware, you definitely don't have one box per students and those sneaky bastards quickly pickup everything that you drop on them, so training costs are only an issue with you staff. That said, I estimate you will have about $1k/box to get [mostly free] software and train or hire new support people - sounds like a very sweet deal to me!
Yes, and don't forget that your next year allowance won't be $800k, it will be $800k + savings from licensing, perhaps, more than that.
Engineered human "Blood" to speed up evolution, so that we become less susceptible to disease and injury.
If it is akin to making oneself "less susceptible
to illness" by eating/drinking/injecting semi-lethal
dozes of antibiotics then thank you very much, I had
it right up here with what they call "medicine"
here in States;-P
This is even stronger argument in favor of Extreme Programming techniques, in particular, pair programming - you simply cannot hide your backdoors long enough while constantly switching partners and roles.
When I walk into my professors office, they have two walls of metal bookshelves stacked to the wall with books. It's like walking into their mind.
Wrong, you simply pick in what publishers think your professor might find useful for some class. They always trash professors, instructors and TA-alike with sample copies in hope that one of those would be picked up and will bring back home some big booty. People hate throwing aways books, so they stack them. Hence walls of (mostly) unrelated books.
These are not holes, some books are old, these
are converted and put online based on subscribers'
requests. Here:
Most Requested Titles
Despite the growing number of books in Safari, we haven't included all of O'Reilly's books online. (About 75 percent of our books have been added.) However, we get requests from users all the time who expect to find a particular O'Reilly title in Safari, so we thought we'd talk about some of the reasons why some books are not in Safari.
Most of our books are produced using FrameMaker and then converted to XML. Some of our older books were produced using Troff, however, and have proven to be more difficult to convert to XML. In some of those cases, we've decided to wait for the next edition of the book, when it will be converted to FrameMaker. Not all of our books are produced the same way, and we don't have conversion processes set up to handle every arbitrary input format.
We publish about ten or eleven new books per month. On average, we convert about eight of those titles and bring them into Safari. We choose the books we think are the most important to convert, but we don't always make the choice that agrees with all users, so getting your feedback is important.

Alas, mates, looks like we burned it :-(((
Oh, and the real beast is that CVS is negligent to chmod stuff. Move on, nothing to see here...
Sorry to break you, but I was doing it (albeit on a smaller scale) for years ;-P Good reading though.

Wake me up, please! No, rather wake them up ;-)

Well, the real question is whether it is in Troff or not. Other than this, MRE is a great book, maybe just too many of us have its paper copy ;-)

If it bothers it too much, do code a couple
of useful bookmarklets and/or custom CSS -
works miracles for me.
OTOH, I agree that having a more elaborated
preferences page would be a nice touch.
