    How about a new type of slashdot effect... we pick a few random bad words and slashdotters make sure to mention them several times in all phone conversations.

    Thats a capitol idea, comrad. you are da bomb. Now, if you will excuse me while I nuke a burrito and trim a bush in my back yard. See for several days this bag dad bought has been getting on my last nerve. Gas up the lincon, we are going to kill some time.

  10. WTFox? on Daily Show's Viewers Best O'Reilly's In Political Quiz · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They not only proved that the Daily Show viewers are better informed than viewers of his show, but they are also more informed than viewers of Jay Leno and David Lettermen.

    I call troll. After RTFA twice now it clearly says that the survey was between Daily Show, Late Night, and The Tonight Show, nowhere did they survey The Factor viewers. So how does this "prove" the viewers of the Daily Show are better informed than The Factor viewers?

    Also did anyone else catch the percentages?! From the CNN.com article But 60 percent of "Daily Show" viewers answered all six questions correctly. but from the PDF it says that the average score was 60% and that dropped to 48% for the 18-29yro class (less than guessing?!) and only 34% got 5-6 questions correct. Perhaps CNN should RTFA

    I think O'Reilly's statment may be correct.

    I can see lots of ways the whole green thing might not work out in our favor on this one.

    I have been using Ultr@VNC for a while now and it is not quite as slick an Synergy but it hase some nifty features...
    I use it to do tech support on remote (east coast-west coast)machines without the airline BS. Small, fits on a floppy small. And it just works.
    • File xfer
    • chat windows... great for remote support
    • Auto bandwith throttling. Good for slow connections
    • Auto screen scaling. So you 1280x1024 remote machine can been seen on your 800x600 laptop
    • ctrl-alt-esc send capibilities and such
    • full VNC compatible

    Just so everyone is on the same page here... high power rocketry ain't no toy. I used to do this years ago, but it got too expensive. I'm thinking about going back though. You have always had to get certified from NAR or Tripoli to get the big stuff, the feds just decided to crash the party. I can see why they are doing it, but I am sure they are going to fuck things up as usual. If you are in the LA area check out lucerne lake bed on the 2nd saturday of the month. Google for it.

  19. Re:16M? on MRAM Inches Towards Prime Time · · Score: 1

    Dynamic RAM's volatile nature forces the CPU or a memory controller to take time to read and write the contents of each portion of memory repeatedly thousands of time per second, else the contents of the memory are lost

    I think you are missing the point... Static ram and DRAM are both volitle. Kill the power and *poof* data's gone. Compare to Flash memory, power not required. MRAM is the cross of both. Flash type non-volitle and DRAM speed, capacity, price. You won't have to "boot" your machine. No OS load or hibernation or sleep mode nonsense. Upon power being restored your machine will be in the exact state that it was in when you "shut it down". In the near term future this memory will be used in cell phones, PDA's, "gameboys", camera's, anywhere you would use flash. After that wanna-be hack to run MRAM in PC's where the PC is still built in the usual manner just with a different memory type, and finally, PC's built and designed from the ground up to take advantage of all the properties of MRAM.

    Also 16Mb is per chip. x8 for a single sided DIMM or x16 for a double sided DIMM. These are pre production eng samples on a 180nM process. In 18 months this should put it in the ballpark of current Flash/DRAM capacities.

    This will be the memory standard for the next 25 yrs. bye bye DRAM hello MRAM.

  24. Re:The merits of pHDs on Physicist Loses Degree for Data Falsification · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you are all missing the point. A degree is not a simple cert of knowledge, it is a cert of compitence and a trust model. It tells others that you can do a job not that you are a simple waling encyclopedia. This is especially true in sci/engineering professions. It also reflects upon the issuing university, as their grads are their finnished product and their best advertising. If you are hiring for an engineering position for a bridge and you have 2 canidates, #1 got a degree from Acme Diploma Factory and #2 has a degree from MIT, what are you going to think. You see the logo of MIT and know quality, you have never heard of Acme or know anything of it. Your choice is clear. As such from a bnusiness standpoint MIT can say to possible students that it grads get the best work possible, as such they have a keen intrest in keeping their name squeeky clean.

    Employers don't want walking encyclopedias they want projects finished on time and on budget for their clients. What I am trying to say is a degree is more than a cert in knowledge it is a cert in the abilities to get the job done and done right. A professional and ethical attitude and behavior.
