I don't think they still have a minority study room. But I agree the campuses try wayyyy too hard to be ethnically diverse. If I ever have the money I'd like to sue UC Riverside for forcing me to take their "Ethnic Studies" course. It was 10 weeks of white bashing. Did they make you take that course?
I think UCR is really pretty miserable when even the alumni don't have anything good to say about it:) A friend of mine is doing his PHD there, he is researching a brilliant networking idea. Even though its his idea, and he's written all the software and proposals, his name doesn't appear on any of the papers'/proposals just his professor. The "formula" is disgusting:)
Actually I am an unemployed CS major:) I've been looking towards san diego but everyone is really hiring like 5+ years experince right now, whereas I'm more like 2 years experience:) But I appreciate the suggestion. And as for the otter pops, I don't think its still around.
I'll admit I don't know all of the laws, but when I was a kid if the kids had to cross the street, then the bus driver had to get out of the bus and assist the kids crossing the street. Now, it doesn't matter *IF* the kids have to cross the street or not, both lanes of traffic must always stop. The fine is *SO* large that its very lucrative for the municipalities so police officers FOLLOW busses to give out these large fines. You haven't lived until you've been down "San Jacinto St" (a very busy 7 lane highway) and seen 300 cars waiting for a bus to unload.
The most infamous of yuppie laws being the law in california requiring traffic on both sides of the street to stop when a bus is unloading students. Yes you read correctly, in California *ALL* traffic must stop if a school bus is unloading students. I don't know the exact fine but its a draconain sum over a grand.
Apparently some kid darwined himself by running out into traffic and the idiots in Sacramento thought "I'll make sure that never happens again!" Nevermind that in decades of public transportation this was a freak accident.
I graduated from UC Rivereside not long ago (yay unemployment!), and Frank Vahid was and I assume still is one of the outstanding professors and a generally nice guy.
The UC Riverside engineering college has an ABHORENT graduation rate, when I was there it was 30%. The program was very tough, but there were also alot of professors who cared so little about their courses they taught *nothing*. I had one chem professor lecture on the heart medicine he was working on and iron refining techniques all semester, then he gave us a standardized test and the whole class failed. We'd never seen a problem worked on the board the entire course. Most of the lower division courses were like that, professors didn't give a crap. My graduation was delayed by a mechanical engineering teacher who flunked 80% of his class.
Contrast this with a professor like Vahid-- the entire class flunked his first midterm and he stopped the course and said "This is awful guys, I have never seen anything like this, ever. Obviously I'm doing something wrong because all of you shouldn't be failing like this. So I want everyone to take 5 minutes, write down what you feel is wrong with the course, turn it in, and then go home and take the day off and we'll come back tomorrow and go over the notes and see what we can come up with." And he was as good a friend and father to tiny tim as he promised.
That spybot thing is fucking insane, they also have a campaign where they go to message boards (including slashdot) and recommend it to people asking how to deal with their spyware. I read someone who had said it could detect a few things ad-aware couldn't, so I installed it and ideed it found a few things... long story short you know what happened next...
My WIFI setup at home already clobbers my cordless phone, and my low-power light bulbs emit interference and clobber them both. Now I need to cram bluetooth and WUSB into the same spectrum?
Eh in theory yes, in practice it is a little more difficult. Closed source kernel modules really complicate the whole upgrade right now issue, and even alot of open source modules can break between kernel versions. VMWare is used in alot of operating system courses (and thus on alot of acedemic computers), at the *very* least its modules need to be recompiled, although its pretty good at not breaking between kernel versions... same with alsa, the nvidia-kernel, bestcrypt, and a million other modules.
That being said, when the choice is compile modules or get o3ned, your path is clear:) The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
I'm sick of seeing security articles for laymen talking about the CONSEQUENCES of vulnerabilities. There are really only a few kinds of bugs, and of those kinds, 90% are "Stack Overflow" and another 9% are "Privilege Escalation", and pretty much everything else fits into that 1%.
So what im saying is, we dont need to sensationalize stack overflow bugs because, they're as old as time more or less.
Anytime anyone says you don't need security information/tools they're making money and you're getting the shaft. The argument "hackers could use this" translates to "our product is insecure and our admins are lazy". Security auditing is necessary in any network you'd like to be reasonably secure.
I can tell you in California, $200k/year is NOT anything CLOSE to rich. With rent of a 3 bedroom apt running over $2k/month and over in many cities and houses in decent neighborhoods running about $500k and up, $200k/year is solidly middle-cl
Yep, its a lovely feeling knowing you'll never be able to aford a house as nice as the one you grew up in.
honestly thats the measure of a good artist. Pickup Steely Dan, Guster, Phish, Michael Penn, Pat Metheny, etc. and try and find a bad song (ok ok, phish has a few:-).
The reason these great bands aren't popular? Their members are ugly. Donald Fagen (half of Steely Dan) has been described as looking like a a techno vampire. He's not marketable, but he's brilliant.
It's a little more complicated then that. I used to write alot of asm code back when people still did that. And let me say this:
It's very rare that the instruction set is the end of the story. There's alot of "gray area" that may or may not be documented and tons of undocumented instructions -- that was always the shtick with Intel. These gray areas need to be compatible as well. Hopefully AMD did things more straightforward.
Although I can't believe they wouldn't provide documentation to Intel, this is a HUGE win for them.
hey, try california here where the sales tax is 8.25% and they're talking about 9%:( My household pays ~40% income tax as well... it's quite a burdern.

Dude spybot *IS* spyware. Ad aware cant detect it. Pest Patrol will remove it however.

Haven't there been allegations of "painting the tape" in this case? (artifical insider trades to raise volume)
Not really, the logic for funding schools is more like "someone paid for your education now you pay for someone elses."
My WIFI setup at home already clobbers my cordless phone, and my low-power light bulbs emit interference and clobber them both. Now I need to cram bluetooth and WUSB into the same spectrum?
obscure seinfeld reference! Mod this man up!!
his name wasnt jeff and he didnt once say "Give me what I thought you had instead of what I know you've got!" did he? :)

I think in the future GWBush will be remembered as alot of terrible things, one of which will be "the man who made the euro."

The mod chip on my XBOX has a blue LED. It *literally* lights the entire room at night.
this isn't really new, I studied under the great Steven Speilbergo and we used these all the time.
Actually thats "near IR" band ... real IR band sensors don't require illumination because objects *EMIT* IR radiation.
