Isn't cell technology "line of sight"? What happens if I am standing outside of the building that is using the cell blocking paint and the cell tower is on the other side of the building?
b = bit = 1 B = byte = 8 terra = base 10 (10^12) Terra = base 2 (2^40) terra-byte = (10^12) = 1,000,000,000,000 Terra-Byte = (2^40) = 1,099,511,627,776
Your 100 gigs went to the genious of marketing. I'm still amazed at how many times they can re-invent the toothbrush or tampon.
BTW: I was a CS undergrad at VT. And the real pitty is that Virginia Tech is a state funded research institute that happens to teach on the side. It should have tought the students in the first place. I was treated like a number when I was there (Professors too busy with their grant project) and now that I'm out I'm treated like a dollar amount in donations.
Research institutes don't lack "real technical depth" they lack "real world technical depth". I have spoken with a number of CS students and the skills that they actually use in the real world are ALL self taught. (Yeah, did you expect everyone to use spatial data structures like a PR Quad tree or K-D tree.)
"Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 supports the AMD64 instruction set, however it is currently only available if you are a MSDN (Microsoft Developer's Network) subscriber, or if you buy a system from HP with the OS pre-installed."
I called HP 2 weeks ago and they told me that the XP that was shipping with the AMD 64 was not the 64 bit OS rather the 32 bit OS. And I asked him what the point of buying the 64 bit CPU. He was a bit confused and told me that the 64 3000+ would run slightly faster than a 32 3000+ but it wouldn't be that much difference.
One thing to note is MS does have 64 bit OS's for the 64 bit Intel. But intel doesn't have a 64 bit cpu out yet. Go Figure.
In other news Andersen Windows has recently demanded that Microsoft stop using the name "Windows", and in Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 2003, etc. Andersen eites the historical introduction of the Window as evidence that they had the name first.
I recently applied ORFilter (FREE) to my home mail server and blocking of spam is almost perfect. It took about 5 minutes to install and configure. I then had it installed at am successfully blocking 99% of all spam (and a 1 out of 1000 valid emails) We blocked 7000 spam emails in only 3 days.
Boy am I glad you aren't watching the skys for us.
Rolling 10 six sided dice, the probability that all of them are a 4 is 6^10 = 60466176 (60 million) not 6 million
If you look at one of the dice and it is a four the odds that the rest of them are 4's is 1 in 10,077,696 (10 million) not 1 million.
I dropped out half way through my senior year (Dec 99) in CS. I have had no problem finding a job and am now making close to your 80k with no degree and only a few years experience.
The question that is more important, IMO, is what is the ROI on an advanced degree.
Yet another one that is stopped by a properly configured firewall.
I can understand some of these large ISPs not getting all their servers patched but come one... this one should have been caught by a firewall.
The couple complains about their meager income and not being able to go out. He complains about the dullness of the 21st century real-world. Yet this fool is spending more time playing this game than you typically would at work. He should spend more time running his personal business and maybe he would have more money and less AO time to realize everything the real-world has to offer.
I am in the habbit of turning my phone back on once we have landed and are going to the gate. Twice something wierd has happened.
1. Turned the phone on and had no signal until the exact second the doors opened then full signal. Were they jamming my phone?
2. Turned the phone on and taxied around for about 5 minutes. The 10 seconds after I placed my call the captain came on requesting people to keep their phones off until we were at the gate and the doors were opened. Can they detect my phone usage?
Finally I wonder why this would affect the airlines? Regardless as to wether or not I am using my phone the signals from the towers should be passing through the plane wether the phone is on or off.
I thought this would be great... so I installed it and opened a tunnel for it in my firewall. Then I watch a torrent of connections from this hole. For an hour 128Kb of my measly 256Kb upstream connection was saturated with konspire traffic. I checked to see what files I had snagged with konspire. To my suprise nothing, I hadn't recieved a single file. So what was I uploading at 128Kb? Screw it. Un-install, and tunnel closed. I'll wait for non-beta release.
What kind of asinine question is this? When it crashes you always blame the software. Could it be a powerspike that screwed around a few bytes in ram? Could it be bad hardware sure... but when it a glitch happens it is always blamed on the software.
Another reason software is more buggy than hardware is that hardware is an improvement on the next version not a whole new idea. How long has SCSI been around? How long has most end user software technologies been around?
And finally what are the limits of fault tolerance in software vs hardware. In physical engineering you are allowed a certain range of fault tolerance. In software it works 100% or it doesn't work at all. If there is a bug in the hardware that is discovered after production... it's up to the software to account and correct for it. THINK.

The main concern for a laptop is power. Do you think a 10k RPM drive is power friendly?
The website says they were estimating costs at 5.4m

Linux is a Product created from an Open Source Process.
This is not a problem with Windows/ASP/ASPX/or MSSQL. It's a problem of poor programming and can be done with any language and DB.
