I work for a gis company and we are starting to see more and more 1 meter res satellite imagery. This is not that great of an accomplishment. The 1 meter stuff probably exists, just not public yet. cool nonetheless...
Maybe the SEC should advertise another product on the site called the SuckerDetector. Come on, who would really think that this device is even possible?
About 2 years ago, I was actively seeking a job. I posted my resume on Monster and some other automated resume service websites. As noted in other posts here, most of the replies I got were from headhunters -- job offers consisting of contract, part-time, or other things I was not interested in. I got NO responses from actual employers, which was what I was trying to accomplish by posting my resume on the net.
IMHO, the best way to distribute a resume is directly to whom you're interested in working for. Can't find anyone of interest to work for? I suggest talking to as many people as possible. Since these resume services cater to headhunters, you'll never get personal interaction. Through talking to people, you can get a good idea of what is available for you.
Presently, I still get an occasional email from my original resume posting 2 years or so back. I find it amazing that although I've taken my name off of the resume sites, I still get offers.
Shouldn't there be some sort of premium service, or at least an option on an automated site to filter out would be head hunters? Just my 2 cents.

I guess one advantage to the 14 inch (offset by weight of coarse) is the claimed extra hour of battery life. Just a thought...
On the demo quicktime video, 3 4x6 prints cost over $20 bucks!!! Who will do that when most times you can get free 4x6 prints from ofoto, snapfish, shutterfly, or another online printhouse. Is conveinence worth this exhorbitant price?
I've been trying the link to the keynote stream at apple's site for the last 15 minutes with the same error 10060 every time. Come on Apple! Can't you show your keynote to everyone as you promised?
I work for a mapping company and we do banner ads in some of our applications based on the region of the map a user is looking at. True smart-region advertising.

I would have to disagree with you on this. Hope I'm not going too far off topic here, but I have the palm m505 and it is wonderful in outdoor light. I charge it maybe once a week at the very most. Although my comment here may be my opinion, I admit it openly. Please don't make sweeping statements that don't hold water with me.
Back to the original topic here, I hope that apple does implement something in color. IMHO color makes everything more fun. Think where we would be if we were still watching B/W movies? How about newspapers in only B/W? Just my thoughts...
To expand on this, I would say that if NP-complete problems were solved, we would quickly find PRACTICAL ways of using quantum mechanics to do cryptography. We already have it in labs (see this link). But I believe research would be more focused as Quantum computation would become necessary.
I don't think there will ever be an end to the problems we have to solve. There will always be one class of problems that are unsolved.
This is somewhat related. I am looking to buy a HDTV and am wondering if it can be used with my computer in some way? Will it interface with a computer display adapter? I followed the link on this article and someone posted a comment there about using a wireless keyboard/mouse, etc. with a HDTV. This is indeed a nice thought, but will it work? If so, what kind of performance do you get?
I believe that products like the Slimp3 player mentioned yesterday on slashdot are a nice preview of the kinds of technologies that we can expect to have, but will they thrive if the computer is brought into the living room? Is it a cosmetic issue that is keeping a PC from being put in the stereo/video cabinet? If so, what's keeping it from being visually pleasing? A bunch of questions, I guess, but I want to know!
I'm waiting until it supports setting multiple tabs as your "start" page. Then it will be awesome. Launch the browser and have all the pages you normally visit first thing in the morning all loaded up and ready to go!
To extend the question, does anyone know any details about USB 2.0 under linux? I've been looking at Maxtor's personal storage products and they look pretty nice.
USB 2.0 ==> 480 Mbit vs 1394 ==> 400 Mbit
The choice seems clear to me. Am I missing something?
Did I miss something or did the article fail to mention what the professor had to do to make amends? Was he fired? Was the student compensated by the university? It seems like the article only hinted at that.
get your masters. After working full time for about 2 years after completing my undergraduate degree in CS, I decided to get my masters in CS. Work paid for it, so why not? There's a whole different world of things that you *hear* about, but don't really get to learn in your undergraduate studies. Also, taking only one or two classes at a time, I've found, makes the learning process much more fun. A masters degree also gives you that added pay edge.
I've also found that once you graduate and get a job, you have a bit more time to do things that you want to do. In school, you have so many responsibilities that lie squarely on YOUR shoulders. At work, you get your tasks done, and go home. I make it a practice to try and leave work stuff at work. I can then do the things I want to do -- whether it's computer related or not.
Once you are in the work force, you can take pride in the work you do. You'll soon realize that you're not just implementing something from a book, but rather innovating something, hopefully someday that will be in a book.
Ever heard the saying there's no such thing as an easy buck? Or how about earning money the old fashioned way, by earning it. IMHO, those two things are a given. Sure, luck has something to do with how much you can make, but in the end, hard work will pay off. It will earn you raises and promotions. Look at computer companies that are still profitable today. Do their CEO's just sit back and ride the technology bandwagon? Probably not. They work for it.
If I want it for my home, why would I buy this? can't I get an actual CD Jukebox that stores around 100 CD's for about $300? Yeah Yeah, it's cool and everything, but I won't be rushing out to get one. Mp3's seem cost effective in their portability. At home though, $1000 seems a bit much.
Is the issue whether or not the page will work in other browsers?!? Where I work we also will not allow certain browsers to do certain things, but in general, we make the basic website visible to all browsers (release versions). Typically, we support the current version and one major version before it. If things don't work, we don't allow certain browsers to access those things until we have suitable solution. We try to shy away from functionality that isn't an option in all browsers. In the case of msn.com, it would appear that they are blocking a browser based on WHAT the browser is, not based HOW it will render the page.

Nevermind...I wasn't paying attention. They're not that expensive. $0.49 for a 4x6, $0.99 for a 5x7 and $3.99 for an 8x10. Sorry :)

The article arouses my curiosity. In the age of visual arousal, however, pictures would be nice.
