Which raises the then-silly question of what do you do if the text is already bold? i.e. "one thousand stupid patent tricks"..... and then, how about the following:
"One day I went out into the street where I walked past Two Boots Pizza shop, my favorite in midtown. I ate seven pizzas all by myself -- I hadn't done something that crazy since I was seventeen."
While everyone is up in arms over the patent, I'm still scratching my head and wondering how it is more useful than annoying....
I know I read that story when I was little -- it had the little aside about the number of nuclear subs that all could have nuked Queensland in time -- and tracking the "growing splotches" -- what was the name? It is escaping me right now and I'd love to re-read it.
We have Fischer of the Fischer-Lynch-Patterson fame, and Avi Silberschatz, formerly of Bell Labs. We stole Julie Dorsey from MIT, and we have a ton of sensor network/mobile research going on.
And by "we" I mean "they" -- I'm an alum.
Yale's CS program is highly theoretical but quite rigorous.....Gelertner's courses are mostly for non-majors.
We did, in fact, have to look at ZL77. And there are many academics that still write ZLW -- not to say that many don't also write LZW. I wasn't saying I have a monopoly on having written/read the LZW algorithm, but I have, however, taken the course in question. *MY* time logs are part of the figures he mentions. As such, I feel like my opinion on the subject carries some merit.:P If you say "PIN Number" I'll cope, ditto for NIC card and ATM machine, but if you're discussing statistics collected from an aggregate and I am part of the aggregate (and so am familiar with the specific experiences being discussed) I do feel that more gravitas is implied. [The professor in question has come in after a test and said things like...."You weren't as spread out as I would have liked" -- et cetera.]
This isn't sucking up to programmer egos. It sucks up to *good* programmer egos. Try sitting in on the first day of one of Stan's classes where he projects the number of students that will remain in his class by midterms....;)
Original paper was Ziv and Lempel, later (window refresh) refinement by Welsh. I took CS323. I wrote this code. I'm pretty surprised by the number of people here that have NFC and are posting......thanks for not being one of them. (Them being those that lack the FC)
I took CS 323a...in fact, I took it in Fall 2001, making my times part of the COMPRESS01, (which we called encode-decode, and we had to learn how to do hard and soft links, as they called the same executeable), SHELL01, et cetera. The best part of TFA is where Joel discusses the assignments in 323a.....I still have my time.log files, and am shocked at some of the time figures -- although they were posted when I was an undergraduate, I never really paid much attention to the statistics...
As a side note, Stan Eisenstat puts CS kids through some crazy hoops. In the compress program, you have to detect how you have been called (Argv[0]) -- except you cant just look for "encode" or "decode" -- as one of Stan's favorites was putting the file in an/encode/foo/ directory and then calling it. His method of teaching things (YAGNI) was simply amazing....and it is sad that he isn't more well known. I still cherish my class notes.
Sorry, please ignore the sibling post that decries you as faux-political in your long "I don't know" statement. In lieu of modding you up as informative, I'd like to say that while you've not provided an answer, you've limited the scope of any possible answer -- I for one didn't know that there was a fixed granularity of optical resolution w/r/t mice. Thank you.
But in all seriousness, I'm sure Cravath has a far greater number of those graduates than Boies Schiller does....Yale Law doesn't produce enough litigators -- a TON of public interest comes out of YLS/HLS, but YLS is so small, so the practical effect is that the top notch litigators coming out of Yale invariably end up at a top firm (usually in new york) narrowing them down to a few blocks in midtown. (From Conde Nast In the south to WWP in the west, to 58th & Broad in the north and to 280 Park on the east.) That being said, we should check into the pedigrees of some of the lawyers listed and see how your breakup stacks out. Boies Schiller has a thing for UChicago....
....if a major corporation hires a bank robber to ROB A BANK -- do the shareholders of that corporate take the "first bite" of those profits, or does the bank, suing the corporation, get first bite?
In essence, Novell is saying "Hey! SCO stole that money! It is rightfully ours!" -- and that is why if their story is true, they get first bite.
12" pb v ibook is a cost question. the g4 in the pb and the g4 in the ibook are *not* the same "g4".
pb = coreimage.
If all you need it for is wordprocessing, surfing the web, etc, ibook. (i.e. "unless you're a power user, get yourself an ibook and be done with it. and if you are a power user, you still might not need the powerbook, but you might WANT it)
Email is asynchronous? Someone has never worked in a modern office in a midsized-to-large enterprise. Trust me....in a corporate office, the exchange server will dutifully plug away as you and 5 other co-workers hit reply all every 3 seconds. [*sigh* -- i miss pine....]
Hubbard didn't *do* scientology. He had joked for years that he always wanted to invent a religion....so he did. My father read the entire Battlefield Earth series when I was a kid -- we still have the shelf of books in our basement. (The series is ungodly long.) I remember the first time I saw "DIANETICS" advertised -- I thought "how quaint! more L Ron Hubbard Fiction!!!!" -- how true, how true.
Email: 'The word 'email' or its variants such as 'e-mail' properly describes a system of communication electronically. It does not denote a message. So "I sent you an email" should more properly be "I sent you an email message." One sees this misuse very frequently in business correspondence and informal discussions. Its use reveals lazy thinking on the part of its users.
Now, I can be a pedant about a LOT of things, but this is just out of control. When you walk into a physical mailroom/post office, "You have mail." Is acceptable.
Merriam-Webster....help us!
Main Entry: mail
Function: noun
Usage: often attributive
Etymology: Middle English male, from Old French, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German malaha bag
1 chiefly Scottish : BAG, WALLET
2 a : something sent or carried in the postal system b : a conveyance that transports mail c : messages sent electronically to an individual (as through a computer system)
3 : a nation's postal system -- often used in plural
So if "e-mail" is "electronic mail" then saying "I sent you an email" is entirely acceptable. Anyone saying "I sent you a mail letter" would sound rather silly -- so let's not beat this dead emu any longer.
....we're talking about the/old/ testament here.
First of all, the hebrew differs a bit from the KJ......but, that being said
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
There wasn't even "night and day" as we know it until day four. So either the bible is telling lies with respect to the "first four days" or there should be some interpretation here....
you shouldn't abbreviate london forces as vdw. or at least type out van der waals.:P [technically ALL dipole interactions are vdw...] (people can't google for VDW if they don't know what it means....and i have faith that at least ONE reader out there would have wanted to google it) </chem snob>
Well....all the brownies I knew were gay and ended up at MSDW, Lehman, JPMC and the like. And they had hot, artsy trophy husbands from RISD. C'est la vie.

Isn't RISD where brownies pick up hot trophy wives/husbands. They came out in full force at sex.power.god. I had no idea you had a hockey team. (My brother played for NYU, i was somewhat of a fan....)
But - was it simply the repetitious work that would have led to an innovation no matter who was doing it
Yes!
And this is why I love Vera Rubin. [I tried to model my thesis in CS in the way Vera's work was done -- take an area that everyone else is taking for granted/glossing over and look at it under a fine, albeit boring, microscope.]
Basically, any lab lackey could have discovered what Rubin did -- and the reason she is so often praised is because no one bothered to look. They just assumed it was true and that they could observe all the matter that was there.
