I'm remodeling a house right now (today, not this very second.) It has 2x4s. TWO by FOURS. It has support beams placed every 4 feet. (Not 3.5', and not 8'.) It was built in 1895, so there's the other side of the redefinition bracket.
If you cared to do this properly, you would know that studs in house framing are positioned a given distance apart from centre to centre, for exactly the reason why it's pointed out many times in the thread. That way, your house can have your special 2x4s and "trade 2x4's" as well.
As a chemist, that was the one resource that everyone had.
Unlike software, you never needed to know whether it was the latest version. However, this is a prime example of bloatware. The thing was so big and fat, it ceased to be a pocketbook. I think the last one I used had a version in the 70s.
- many years ago, grad students used to use their university webspace to take grainy GIFs of papers (especially for papers that didn't so well with OCR, like chemistry papers) and publish them that way. - about 17 years ago, I remember there being Livejournal communities dedicated to grad students sharing the PDFs of journal articles (once they became widely available) - then people just started sharing proxy accounts to get the articles directly
nothing new here, just because it involves Twitter doesn't instill novelty to an old idea.
It's about time everyone had a long hard look at the software in their systems. Are they open enough for you to make the necessary fix should a problem arise?
I am by no means a tech geek, but I have DD-WRT on my routers because I can actually change the things I need the router to do. Disabling features in the interest of making more money in a higher end model is kinda dickish, but when you realize that the same dickishness (pardon the crude grammar) is likely responsible for hardcoded logins, it's a sad state of affairs.
I may be breaking the fundamental rules of Slashdot, but... - the "article" is a single post on a recently created blog - they misspell "lose" - a quick google of Brett Wooldrige doesn't bring up anything exciting (a Forbes blog account with no content?)
This is the very definition of "nothing to see here, move along".
As a bureaucrat in a dead-end job, I can say "Hell yeah!"
There's nothing I look forward to more than a little gold star that I can put on my cubicle to rub in the face of Jenkins because I submitted more dreary TPS reports than anyone else in our unit.
I don't know if it's fair to still call DataWind a Canadian company. Yes, it was founded in Montreal, but... R&D is in Montreal.. management is in the UK.
Having been one of the NAFTA hires back in '04, I can honestly tell you that even in those cases where you are fast-tracked to a job, you still have to jump over hurdles.
I have a Ph.D. in chemistry. I had papers for my degree, the job offer, the visa papers (after all, it was under NAFTA since I was a learned researcher) and yet I was still held up at the border because the job offer said that the position was for a "Postdoctoral Fellow" and not a "Chemist". An hour and a half of waiting for the relatively mentally dis-inclined border guard made me realize that these people should not be your first line of defense against illegal aliens.
Hell, maybe lotteries are the best way to go. The border guards aren't doing you any good.

Finally! I forgot my password, and this is much easier than trying to recover it.
What? They're harassing PornHub? ... uh... nevermind...
Why won't someone think of the
Not like this is a surprise to anyone, but it's nice to get a set of data, rather than isolated anecdotes.
It would also be difficult to tout a report that is a leaflet that states "duh!"

Once I read "... its proprietary film format.." I stopped reading.

If you're not kicking teeth out, you're doing it wrong.

Oh well.
Hmm... sounds like a key party rather than an unlikely occurrence.
It's not Lupus! (for the House fans in the audience)

Don't forget those Polacks that went to Canada, to enjoy the socialist paradise promised us back home.
If you read the "official" difficulty level, it's 11.
Yes, it goes to 11. You know it's harder when it's one more.
This was news almost two months ago when he wore them here at an event for The Foundation Fighting Blindness.

This comment is brilliant in its simplicity and usefulness.
I wish Slashdot had a bookmark comment option.
Their grammar's great, too.
Maybe he's unfamiliar with dating.

I'm on Acanac DSL (another Bell reseller) and I put all the traffic through port 1720, and encrypt it, just in case.
I use port 1720 because it was the VoIP port back when I had cable. Apparently they don't throttle that one.
Most invite-only trackers run a daemon to auto-magically kill off old users around every ten minutes or so.
Those damned Newfies. I still don't trust them, or consider them true Canadians.
