It's obvious that loud bass disturbs others, yet he continues to do it. That is a deliberately irratating act.
So I go to do the same and I'm the bad guy?
So your argument here is that if person A has loud music and disturbs others' then he is the bad guy but if person B does the same thing they are not the bad guy, it is somehow person A's fault. From person C's point of view you are both annoying and both need to stop behaving in a socially unacceptable manner.
The cost of publishing a paper in a conference can be similar to that once travel/hotel/food is taken into account and a journal should carry more weight than a conference and have a wider reader base. So it could be argued that 2K for a journal is better value for money (gettign your research read by more people).
Depends what you mean by often, Paxman did a study in 1997 and found that less than 1% of packet were out of order, while Moon et al did a similar thing in 1998 and found it to be less than 0.1%.
Up until 2 days ago my office PC was swapping loads, then again it was a PIII 800 with 256 meg of memory. It was leading to performance problems. My new P4 2.8Ghz with a gig of ram doesn't seem to have the same issues:-) Now I'm just trying to get top to report that it is 0% idle, used to happen a lot on the old machine.
Yes this post was just an excuse to tell people that I have a new computer:-)
I had one of them which I did enable. From a hard reboot the machine would lock up and wait for the key but if you pressed the reset button it would start as normal.
perl requires a special syntax structure (foreach) just to do hashes
foreach in perl deals with arrays not hashes. To deal with a hash you get the list of keys from the hash as an array and iterate through them. You can deal with arrays using a for loop if you want to, but foreach just reduces the amount of code you have to write.
Coding is very objective. The computer (not human) tells you whether your code is right or wrong.
I teach 1st year CS at University and a lot of the time the student's program compiles (computer says it is right) but doesn't do what they have been told to do or would break if you sneezed near it, both of which count as wrong (or not quite right). The computer only tells you if your codes syntax is correct it has no idea if it is semantically correct.
This is science - you can only be right or wrong, not a mixture of both.
Coding isn't as precise as people like to make out. Programs are an expression of an idea and as such the details differ even if the overall idea is the same. Some implementations will be better expressions than others.
If you want to study about human related things, then you need to study business, not science.
A computer is not an independent entity it sits in an environment and interacts with that environment. People are part of that environment therefore at some point computers (and the code therein) have to interact with people, even if it is through another piece of code. Computer Science is human related at some level.
I thought that corundum was the mineral form of Al2O3 and as such contains impurities which colour it as in the case of sapphire or ruby? I thought the pure form was alumunia although it has been at least 10 years since I did chemistry at college so I could quite easily be wrong.
Why does it have to be American music there is no reason it couldn't be Chinese music. As for the video it doesn't have to be cybersex how about a webcam that is pointing at a fish tank (we just got one of these at work), all it would take is looking at the source to verify what it is. Doesn't look suspect at all just looks like the guy likes fish and is very dull. These things don't have to be low bit-rate they could be high bit-rate but non realtime with the stenographic information extracted offline.
You could use digital watermakeing techniques in order to hide information in the image, which should work even for a 160x120 webcam feed with a high enough quality image (just reduce the frequency that the image is updated). Other possibilities are sticking information in the packet headers or modulating the framerate of the webcam feed. Information in the headers is more likely to be noticed I would have thought since all it would take is looking at a sequence of packet headers to notice that something was a little odd. You could hack a TCP stack so that it uses any of the header (except the stuff used for routing and you might not want to mess with the ports since that would look a bit suspect), or how about modulating the window size used that would be harder to detect since packet loss is pretty much random. For audio you could try using the packet loss to your advantage introduce what looks like packet loss into the stream again the pattern encodes messages, or just use digital watermarking and hide stuff in the LSB.
_disclaimer_ all these ideas are off the top of my head although they should work in theory they might be very crappy. Maybe I've just found the topic for my next paper.:-)
Minix was designed to be small and easy to understand and there is a book called Operating Systems Design and Implementation which explains the inner workings in practical terms. NOTE I have the first edition of this book not the second. You can get the code for it and have a book which explains what the code is doing should be easy to play with and help you understand what is going on.
Maybe he was talking about the ice cream. He says it tastes great and that a couple of spoon fulls really wakes you up. Ice cream generally tastes good and I'm sure that having a couple of spoon fulls dropped on you while your asleep will definetly wake you up:-)

(eg. BBC, 50 million people paying ~12 a month = a lot of cash).
Except that there are only 58,789,194 people in the UK according to the 2001 Census so 50 million paying the license fee is probably a little high. There are 24 million households (EU DG Information Soc) which is proably a better number to estimate the number of people paying the license fee . So more like 24 million * ~12 quid a month = a lot of cash / ~2
I was under the impression that it does use a third machine if both of the end points are behind firewalls/NATs etc so that you can connect the two end-point machines together. From what I remember H323 doesn't use P2P, when used with a atekeeper. You can use it p2p is you don't bother with the gatekeeper.. You can do protocol conversion, transport layer conversion and a host of other things with a non p2p system which makes it more useful. The trade off being increased delay which as long as you keep the delay below about 150-200ms it shouldn't be a problem.

What a rip off my doctorate won't cost me a penny, although these people have stummed up quite a bit.

Isn't that aluminum oxide commonly called alumina?
I've sent an email to crapola100@hotmail.com expanding on the idea.

Because they only accept pockets as delivery addresses?
So the answer to that joke isn't 'to get to the other side'?
