Yes, but the summary did not say a $5 sign... I'm sure Gannon's signs were the cheap ones from WalMart... for about $1... and you know those just don't hold up in court.
Police instead arrested Gannon, charging him with two felony counts of violating state eavesdropping and wiretap law by using an electronic device to record Karlis without the detective's consent.
Doesn't he know that the President is the only personl legally allowed to wire tap?
FTFA ... the results are skewed by the fact that Intel is producing chips using the 65-nanometer process, vs. AMD's 90-nanometer process. Typically, as more chips are packed onto smaller dies, performance improves dramatically. AMD is not scheduled to begin building chips on a 65-nanometer process until later this year.
Wouldn't this be an important thing to note? Perhaps later this year would be a better time to compare... when they both have the same size dies?
In fact, the administrator of a Web site or a Linux/Unix server, would not even have to know the language in order to download these Perl scripts, and use them to solve problems on the job.
Is these really that good of a practice though? Your pc's will be jam-packed with go you never wrote... therefore you don't know what's actually going on with your own machines? Write your own scripts script kiddies.
For example... in Tomb Raider
One team should concentrate on Lara's Face, one should concentrate on her chest, and one should concentrate on her Legs. No wait... that's horizontal slices.
because of the iterative process of Scrum and the short work cycles of Sprints, redirecting a project rarely results in large volumes of wasted work.
I like this... cause that last pair of words... wasted work... seems to hit my teams especially hard quite often right now. We'll finish LARGE tasks, perhaps bundle multiple items together into one large release (cause this is how management wants it)... and by the time it gets to UAT testing many development hours have been spent... and then the UAT tester will turn around and say... nope... don't need/want that... and thus all those development hours are wasted. I'd love to get a workflow like SCRUM implemented in my workplace.
In school... my favorite languages were probably in the following order
C++ - I learned this first, and it was tricky, but incredibly beneficial to learn
Java - Once I already new C++, Java was REAL REAL easy... and I also just loved how clean and easy it was to program in... although in larger projects, at least back when I was in school, I did notice significant performance differences as compared to C++
C - After learning C++, C was like a fun throwback... it becomes a very interesting language... and I sometimes just wrote programs in C instead of C++ just for the fun of it.
Now sadly... since I've graduated... I've had to move into the corporate world... and I find myself stuck programming in C# and VB.NET (which both are incredibly easy to learn if you already know C++ and/or Java). I do miss the days though in college of C++, Java, and C programming... and thus I hope to go back to academia sooner or later.
Good luck with your schooling... my tip : experiment with everything, don't just do the homework assignment in class, try doing the same assignment in another language... test out C++, C, Java, Perl, Python, everything...
OO = Object Oriented
Many computer languages are or can be Object Oriented (Java, C#, VB.NET, C++, etc.)
Therefore Java is a sub set of Object Oriented Programming
Object Oriented Programming is not just Java though, cause as said above it could be C++, C#, VB.NET, etc.
Therefore, I believe it's ok to say then that Java (as a subset of OO) may suck... but Object Oriented Programming in general does not (cause for example C++ rocks). Well, I tried.
I think you're confusing yourself... I didn't say anything to the effect of non-OO code being bad... or OO code always being good... basically... I personally find it much easier to write clean code in an OO language like Java... than in a semi-OO lanaguage like C or C++... With C / C++ there are so many tricks, shortcuts, and multiple ways of doing things that I always end up finding myself writing obfuscated code... where as in Java, I find myself sticking to a standard format... where everything looks similar. That said... I've been around programming long enough (I've even taught, C, c++, and Java courses), so I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in all languages.
Great for college research (took multiple classes on it)... but annoying in the real world... if it's possible... I'll delete as much of the auto-generated code as possible and start from scratch...
Where I hear OO... I think good... there'll be readable code, there'll be clean code, there'll be re-usable code
When I hear Java... I think arg... poor performance & not truly open source
Looks interesting, but who will take the chance on it?
I assume you're going to school for computer science... if so... you NEED your own Linux box in order to do experimenting, learn new things, perform research, etc. You can get a Barebones box off pricewatch for literally $200 or so (so I'm sure you can afford this... credit card if anything). Then go to any other student in the computer science department... ask for a linux distro cd (ubuntu, debian, etc.)... and odds are they'd jump all over it... they'd probably even come over to your dorm room and install it for you (that's just what they like to do). Then boom, you're all set... enjoy working from your dorm room... and stay out of those public labs.
I think possibly another big issue being missed here in the comments above is the issue of safety. If you have cables that can eletrocute you to death instantly... it's much safer to have them above ground where they're in plain site, and you know you're close to them... as opposed to them being underground... and you accidentatlly digging or cutting into one and boom... you're dead before you even know it.

Everybody seems to be blaming ([1] [2] [3]) the President ... when in fact it was Steve Ballmer who threw the chair!

The Book? Of course ... but you'd need a power supply, motherboard, hard drive, processor, & memory
In fact, the administrator of a Web site or a Linux/Unix server, would not even have to know the language in order to download these Perl scripts, and use them to solve problems on the job.

I was also curious. But from reading other posts ... it probably has to do with the rules excluding spread out beasts like Googleplex.
How does Googleplex compare with the #'s in this top 500 list? (# Processors, max, peak, etc.)

The only thing an attacker can't simulate is an interface he can't predict.
This will be the key when designing sites in the future.
Now sadly
Good luck with your schooling

Yes ... Java is an OO language ... Java != OO
No
Thus it's ok to have different opinions on them.

61 dishes
For how long will it be free? I can't image the 61 dishes being cheap to maintain?
I'm too lazy to type it twice

What do you think when you hear "Code Generator?"

It still won't matter. Just look for the yellow post-it note with the password stuck on the monitor, under the keyboard, or under the mouse pad.

Some people need that kind of support
You mean like those people who buy computers from Best Buy, Staples, or Office Max?
