Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he the guy who developed the Hungarian notation
And thereby making huge swaths of code unreadable. How much Microsoft code uses a rgs16 to store 32 byte values? Some consider Hungarian notation to be the tactical nuke equivalent for unmaintainable code.
This isn't that new. In the early '90s, i (along with 90% of the rest of our office) got laid off by telegram over New Years. Seems they had made their decision late and needed it done before the end of the year for tax reasons. With Western Union gone, i guess Radio Shack felt the need to improvise.
The AOL client isn't completely suck ass either. Now before I get boo's from the peanut gallery let me explain... I run my own consulting company, and today I had to do some work at a lawyers office, and she's been using AOL as her email for years. She got a new PC, wanted me to transfer files from her old PC to her new PC, then hand-me-down her old PC to her assistant. I walked in thinking "OH noes! PST and outlook!" Since the AOL email client stores all the emails on the server, it was pretty painless. It wasn't *that* bad. They just logged in with their screen names, and like magic, all their stuff was there.
Actually, only 2 weeks of mail are kept. You got all her mail on the server, but any mail she decided to keep past 2 weeks is stored locally.
Ok, reading further (on the USRP FAQ page), i see that they are selling transmitters (and transceivers). They push the legal compliance to the user which might not hold up, but let's see...
Some people both here and in Wired's comments are concerned with this being used to transmit. Nothing in the article talked ab't transmitting; this is a receive only technology. When they're talking ab't using this for radar, they're doing it passively; using the existing commercial FM transmitters as the basis signal being reflected (for this, i think multiple antennas will be necessary).
Also, so far as i know, in the US, there's no restriction on what frequencies can be listened to. In the UK, i think there's licensing issues, but nothing should restrict this in the US.
This doesn't sound like a behavioral interview, but just a personality test. In a behavioral interview, the interviewer asks questions that discuss actual past behavior of the interviewee rather than speculative questions or the dreaded "What kind of tree would you be?" That said, their website looks like they're a yes-man body-shop. Keep looking...
If it's 5000 times the size of the moon, a back of the envelope calculation (square root 5000 times the.5 degree arc for the moon) means it's something like 35 degrees across.
This is why Google's been buying dark fibre. This is why Google is buying into AOL, for access to TW shows. This is what will drive the next generation of portable gadgets.
Actually, what Google bought was a 5% share in AOL, not Time Warner. AOL is a (formerly) wholly owned subsidiary of the company formerly known as AOL Time Warner. So what Google bought wouldn't get them access to those shows anyway.
It's more of a measure of dynamic popularity. It goes by who's currently on line. So if your friend who knows a billion people drops offline, your score drops accordingly.
Thanks for the job you're doing, and I agree, having the ability to use less lethal weapons in a hostile environment is a good thing. Much of what's driving the comments you're disapointed in is the fear that the target won't be a kid with a gun pointed at a Marine but an unarmed protester or a dissident politician. Less lethal weapons are neither good nor evil in themselves, but the use to which they get put to can certainly be. Good luck, and come home safe.
Err, even if i did look at all the lines of a function (or god help me, a file), i certainly don't comprehend on a line by line basis. Usually, i follow the changes of a small subset of the variables through all the functions (and files) of a system. We all comprehend through a toilet paper tube, but the line by line tube seems quite a bit more limiting...
I've been working in various aspects of IT for 20 years, and i've ab't had it. Too much change for change's sake, development of deadlines before requirements, and ongoing threats of layoffs. It's no fun anymore. Time for me to go do something different. In a year or two, i plan to go back to graduate school to study geography and cartography. Maybe i'll still be working with computers, but i'll be concentrating on the subject, and not the tool...
Wait a minute. I think i just witnessed two people disagreeing reasonably and at the same time, bringing some light to the subject. That's not the slashdot i've come to know and loathe...

You mean there's more to invisibility than just talking to women?

With the "launching automatically into a ballistic trajectory to intercept the incoming threat", it sounds more like this.
Actually, i just started using Netflix, and i love it, but this is stupid.
I was laid off by telegram in the early '90s. Glad to know that will never happen again...

Right. He actually said that the Treasury Bills that back Social Security are just worthless pieces of paper. Come to think of it, the connection might just be his lack of respect for paper .
Actually it just means they look at the map less often than w' high frequency navigation.

And never forget that politics is what comes from the end of a gun.

Because then Microsoft wouldn't be getting the kickback from Intel.

Wow. That's better than what AOL offers in the states. For their AOL for Broadband, it's up to you to actually provide the broadband.
