"People attach the label âoegeniusâ to such diverse characters as Leonardo DaVinci, Bobby Fischer and Toni Morrison. The varied achievements of such individuals beg the question: what defines a genius?
False. It raises the question. We've been over this.
Does this risk change if you consider a sufficiently long period of time?
Presumably for a given trip you spend more time intoxicated than you do checking or responding to a message on your phone.
If you get a chance, I recommend Out of Their Mindshttp://cs.nyu.edu/shasha/outofmind.html which details some of the amazing feats of McCarthy and some of his contemporaries.
Doesn't seem far off from partnering with a Nigerian prince.

NASA TV also mentioned they noticed ascent debris (during SRB seperation) from radar data. Inspection of the leading edges of the wings and nose is slated for tomorrow.
Apparently there was two chase planes shooting HD video of the launch. As anyone come across that?
..ugh, ignore my last post, I pasted the wrong version...
Reality TV is so prevalent because it's so cheap and easy to make.
I think another reason reality TV is so popular is because it's still somewhat of a new genre. I mean has the sitcom really changed much in the last 40 years? Is there much of a difference between I Love Lucy/The Brady Bunch/Friends?
I think people want to watch good TV (there isn't much of it) and they think since reality TV is new it must necessarily be good.
Though is there anything wrong with watching TV? Some people choose to watch reality shows (I recall an interview with Steven Spielberg who said he enjoyed Cops because it displayed human nature), some people choose to read those magazines displayed in the checkout line of the grocery store, some people choose to read slashdot... I think it's fairly contemptuous to pass judgment on someone for doing something they enjoy.
With the exception of Jeopardy! and the Daily Show, I haven't watch TV for the last two years. Am I better than someone who treats Survivor as a religion? Hardly. I just have different hobbies.

This is probably coming a little late in the conversation, but I thought this was an interesting article talking about Einstein/Newton and the possibility of them having AS.

Is the article talking about IT or CS degrees?
As Dijkstra said, "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
I, for one, love working on computer science, but am only somewhat interested in working on computers.
That's nothing. They're up to about 10 teraflops now.... mmm BigMac :)

I suggest looking in Egypt
Great comment dude! (Don't worry, a lot of people know this, despite the constant bombardment of /. MS FUD).
s it to be water resistant/proof, or be able to purchase a housing, for up to a 15 minute scene in the short film I am adapting.
What kind of films are you making again?
In most retail CD outlets (at least here in Canada) you can listen to the CD before you buy it.
...since we wouldn't have the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Regardless of your feelings for Microsoft and Gates, you have to respect his philanthropy.
Isn't mainly programming jobs that are being offshored, not computer science/engineering jobs?
I think it was Dijkstra who said computer science has about as much to do with computers as astronomy has to do with telescopes.
I know of a model with a 1:1: scale!

Arguably, we should have access to it since we paid for it, but the authors have the copyright.

So if I'm not a U.S. taxpayer, can I not access this software?
