I was just there with my wife a little over a week ago and it was pretty much geek central. =) Our friends there told us there's a new word floating around the area for the Otaku-types that frequent the place, perhaps a little more derogatory: akibake
Even a seven watt night-lite bulb still requires seven watts of electricity and therefore a circuit capable of delivering that power. The amount of electricity required to short a circuit on an electronics board is several orders of magnitude less. The AI effect becomes much more of a factor in sensitive situations such as measuring pH levels to 4 or 5 decimal places and say, bathing your computer in DI water.
Actually even DI water can still conduct electricity because of what is known as the auto-ionizing principle. The oxygen atom is more massive than the two hydrogen atoms and thus the electrons are unevenly shared between them. This means at any given point there is at least some small percentage of water molecules that have a slightly negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.
What are you talking about? We're just a bunch of soulless drones anyway. I'm going to decorate my office with the barcode my manufacturer gave me as I was being assembled in the plant.
lol, dude, chill out - all I'm saying is I think it's a really great game. I guess I'm just a coder/unix nerd because I don't play games often and I don't run with the I need the latest graphics card crowd. All I'm saying is, it's a great game 'cause even old Apple II farts like me are playing it.
It sounds like you're really familiar with this game, 'cause I don't even understand what in the hell you're talking about.
well, if you had cancer i guess you might say what the hell, right? =) IMHO, while it may be scientifically novel, trying to explain to the average person why you're injecting them with HIV is like trying to explain DNA analysis to the OJ Simpson jury. It'll be something they'll have to downplay in the commercial drug..
Not that I mean to flamebait, but IMHO no one was willing to acknowledge the elephant in the room. She _sucked_ as CEO and made a once-good company go from bad to worse. If she had been a man she would have been crucified but it seems nobody wanted to look like a misogynist.
XML is so verbose, it puts Pascal to shame. I guarantee you, if that language ever came out, a bunch of C guys would have a complete macro language for that in a day... =)
What is it about Beltway Bandits and civil servents working with the millitary that produces these freakin' desk-commandos? Like they've even fired a weapon before. There's a special place in hell for all these losers where they're forced to PT their flabby @$$es all day.
older motherboards supported the 28-bit LBA addressing scheme, which tops out at 130GB. Newer motherboards support the new 48-bit LBA scheme, which tops out at 144 petabytes. (1 petabyte ~ 1000/1024 gigabytes) Don't worry, you'll be safe for a little while. =)
No offense to linux, I've been using it since '93. However, as a desktop env. it's inferior to MacOSX. Maybe some rich linux guys just want a nice piece of hardware to run linux on?
My bio's a little rusty but aren't chickens in the aves (family? order? whatever? =)) Aves didn't descend from mammals. Aves and mammals share a common ancestor in perhaps the dinosaurs...
How warm is it during the day? Since the hard disk is a mechanical device, it should work fine as long as you don't try to start it while it's still cold.
Thunderbird is an awesome email program - I gave up Outlook for it a long time ago and have never been happier!
Firefox kicks some ass too - I was fairly critical of Mozilla products for a while, but I've been using firefox and thunderbird on all my platforms for the past year and couldn't be happier!
It is sometimes difficult to transfer midway without losing credits. My school in particular said they would offer credit for the courses, but the department wouldn't let many courses count towards my major. I ended up graduating with 240 quarter units. I only needed 180 to graduate. =) The financial aid office nearly pulled me because I was only a sophomore but had the standing of a senior. They accused me of screwing around. =) I had to jump through a ton of hoops to get the units dropped.
If you're learning something, and you're happy, you might want to stay with it. I can say that the name recognition does matter, but not as much as what's in your head.
In my experience, good university and company names help make your resume standout from the hundreds of others a prospective employer receives. It helps when you have little or no experience. The more experience you have, the more you are going to be judged on the type of work you've done.
I hate to say it but the more resumes I receive for a particular position, the less and less time I have to review each of them. Most entry-level positions draw people with little or no work-experience. Hence anyone from a better university and/or a year or two of internship or work experience is going to stay in the pile longer than people who don't. It's draconian, but it's the only way to get through 100 resumes for 1-2 positions.
Normally I would find this story odd, except after I read it, I realized I too was one of those people. =) (Well okay, being a *NIX junkie helps too. =))
They got rid of ucsduncensored because they liked the idea and wanted to put out an official site endorsed by the university. they were pushing out the competition.

I was a depressed overweight nerd sitting at the computer too long, getting angry and frustrated.
Now I am an overweight happy nerd sitting at the computer playing WoW, getting angry and frustrated at all the n00bs who can't play as well as me.
Things tend to work themselves out. =P

Good for Blizzard! I love playing World of Warcraft... it's the first game I can actually say I've enjoyed playing in years...

Mozilla, my new favorite open-source project!
Hmm, maybe what I'm saying is it really does matter, after all... lol

Since when has a programmer enthusiastically dropped their own code to pick up someone elses? Not a technical person, yeah, obviously. =)
Buy your honey a nitrogen diamond encrusted wedding ring - when she leaves your ass and takes half your shit you can just blow the bitch up.
no, the uc belongs to the the uc board of regeants - a trust.
