Be weary of prefessors, yes, prefessors, to coin a term. I say prefessors because they haven't quite earned the right to use "pro"-fessors since prefessors extort people's work. You should not have been penalized for doing the right thing. If your prefessor was worth anything, she/he would offer you a chance to redo the experiment in a controlled environment. Afterall, Michaelangelo didn't "fudge" on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling and Dontello certainly didn't skimp on the Statue of David's "crowning achievements". The dude is 7-feet tall and women from all around the world like to stare at him for some reason... Anyway, my point is, before you shoot yourself in the foot next time, get the grade on paper before you open your mouth if the grade is a really important one. I'd also file a complaint or at least mention your concerns to a school councelor before taking your matters to a higher level. With tightening restraints on students' speech these days, its always wise to 'look before you leap'.
In today's MarketWatch, software giant, Microsoft and Pfizer have formed a business alliance to combat spammers and illegal manufacture of Pfizer products. The new company name will be, "Macrohard".

BTW, HP's entire corporate network rests in the hands of Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition. I can recall several mornings of cleaning up the Blaster virus at the DataCenter then being insulted and abused when I couldn't clean up a new variant for which we had no documentation.
They've made it the corporate standard along with Mozilla, however, failed to announce Mozilla to their employees - so, the majority of them still use unsecured Internet Explorer browsers because their IT department doesn't recognize the potential exploits for the browser. They keep an old image file of a preconfigured OS build per system model and image the systems through Altiris' Carbon Copy.
I knew Carly was cutting corners/costs, but I didn't think she'd be so gung-ho about exporting her own position! >:-D
That's because your fucking software is built to run in ActiveX! So when I get a virus in ActiveX, it shuts down ActiveX after embedding itself on my system, therefore Norton AV will NOT run and fails to clean up the virus. Congrats, I'm now a zombie. Thanks you stupid mother fuckers.
...do it right. Don't bomb the fuck out of my kids and the rest of my family because you "hate Americans" due to some vitamin-D deficient politician's unilateral wet-dream of a decision. I didn't do anything to Korea, in fact, I was being supportive of other nations til about 5 minutes ago when the extreme potential of having my home country turned into a free-range microwave oven was unearthed. This is similar to holding a conversion with someone as they load a 12-gauge shotgun. Would anyone else feel a little nervous standing in front a someone who's waving a boom-stick?
These are all valid ideas, but the one thing that's keeping the typical user from really knowing what the hell they're clicking on, is that homograph exploit. As long as network.enableIDN is set as "true" in Mozilla config, the typical user won't know the difference.
...this is known as a DDoS or a "Distributed Denial of Service" attack. Most ISPs will cancel your account and blacklist you for things like this. Use at your own risk!
But she laid off tens of thousands (literally), destroyed the legacy of Digital in Compaq, turned HP into an offshoring shell, and damaged HP's reputation. Brilliant!
Her short term management style, however, is the American management style. Quarterly profits matter more than profits five years down the road. Acquire to destroy your competition, pursue that dream of oligopoly. Oh, and send as many jobs overseas as possible so you can keep your workers in line.
I dunno... kinda reminds me of a lesbian...

Honestly, having seen the inside operations of how HP is run, I can tell you, they're happy simply because Carly is gone. She's cut corners like you wouldn't believe. Did you know that their consumers have better computers than what's in their tech support centers in the Houston RDC?
Carly has taken it on herself to ensure techs are NOT able to do their jobs by implementing stupid tools like "ATM" or the Automated Technology Manager to replace the MMC snap-ins for Active Directory. VPN support for employees is utilized only through a "signed" proprietary program which is a pain in the ass to support because it either breaks or totally f*cks up a person's NT account. Their financial center is run completely on VMS and locks out users repeatedly. As for pager/cellphone support, the company gives you one, but you have to pay for the services. If you don't want a pager or cell, they give you a Blackberry which is linked to their own Blackberry service towers running Blackberry Server v1.0 while the rest of the world has upgraded their software 10-fold. I only say this as an example of how she's neglected certain aspects of the company's functionality just to put a couple more nickels in her purse.
I don't know about you, but when I get home, there's a beer with my name on it!
Yeah, I hate to tell you, but GMs are notorious for "stupid shit".
Fords are pretty easy to work on once you learn that everything has a dependency on another thingy. My PCM is quite easily reset and only takes 10 miles to reprogram by itself. So for the next 10 miles, peel out, shift fast, and brake hard...:-)
Random electronics problems are usually caused by "dirty power" getting into your equipment. Whether its a bad connection (check your grounds) or bad relays, you're in for an interesting ride of CD players turning off, A/C units not switching, and amplifiers working once in a while. Bad grounds are usually the cause of most electronics problems in cars nowadays.
An icon is too easily dismissed... I recommend a flashing red URL line - just the way it turns yellow when you're in an HTTPS site. Your idea is definitely valid and hopefully will be integrated into Mozilla. I'm surprised something like this slipped past the development team. It's not necessarily a bug though since there is an option to turn it off. A bug is typically an undocumented software "feature" that not checked and can be used for purposes other than for what it was intended. Too many people are screaming "witch" at the sight of a simple problem.
Either way, it'll still look like a lunchbox being fired into space, held together with duct tape, and somehow, will have a spoiler on it despite it's horrible aerodynamics...
Windows: Looks spiffy, easy to use, breaks down, but there are lots of highways to drive it on and lots of options and upgrades.
Linux: Looks spiffy, the steering wheel is in the backseat, drives great, the 2-lane highways have no shoulders, and has few options with few upgrades. You get what you pay for. Everything is proprietarily open, meaning its Linux, but what "flavor" of Linux?
Macintosh: Better known as Macintrash, looks pretty, has reliable hardware, when it breaks down, you take out a loan to fix it. Shares the highways with others, but sometimes cuts off Linux to catch up to Microsoft.
Just like orasio quoted, every new chip requires a new fab process. However, the 4Ghz machines you mentioned may run like total crap. Sure its fast, but does it have the pipeline technology to back it up? Its the same as having a 400hp Honda Civic versus a 300hp Ford Mustang. The Mustang is going to eat the "Ricer" alive because he's got the balls, er, I mean "torque" to compliment the power. Think of it as pitting a Pentium 75 against a Cyrix 5x86-100.
Making processors faster and more complex generally means getting smaller. After all, an electron can only move so fast... if you want to get it from one point to another even faster, you've got to bring those two points closer together. The challenge is that if wires start getting too close together, you get leakage--electrons jumping from one channel to another--and leaky processors don't process so well.
The problem here is that electrons don't actually move. The electrons simply play "telephone" by repeating an echo. What they need to do is add higher resistance materials between point A and point B, then ramp up the amp to get a nice hard 'push'. Downside to this is lower voltage, but hey, on this scale, like that would matter...
The crossbar latch is an important addition to the world of electronics. Don't be so quick to dismiss it.
As for Carly stewing in her own juices about the revenue of ink cartridges, I have to hand it to her, she is helping to improve the environment by recycling the used cartridges. Next time you buy an HP cartridge, look inside the retail box, you'll see a return envelope with prepaid postage. I'd rather live in a cleaner world with less pollution, beit noise, ink cartridges, or the increased waste of fuel required to power an older generation CPU.
True, but ruling out the elderly would ultimately place us at a disability to drive when we're older. I wouldn't want to not drive. I've loved cars my whole life; still love them now. I'd want to die peacefully in my sleep - not like the other 4 screaming passengers in my car!:-)

I guess this just goes to show exactly how well they know their own product!
