Didn't we have an article a few months ago that the replacement of low-wage fast food cashiers with kiosks meant instead having to hire higher-wage support personnel for said kiosks?
"Thus students who brought their laptops to class to view online course-related materials did not actually spend much time doing so, and furthermore showed no benefit of having access to those materials in class."
That's a separate and interesting finding, that I wish were highlighted more. It's not just that students are using their laptops for non-class-related activities instead of learning, and then suffering academically (duh!), but that *even if* they have access to class-related content they still do not benefit.

It's as if someone at some major computer company didn't think about portability among browsers (or smaller displays, or whatever other assumption they made) that causes that other link not to appear (or render off-screen or be hidden behind some other element)
All the links are to blogs and release-notes, but none of them (nor anywhere obvious on cups.org itself) actually has a download or instructions where to get it. New release sounds nice. Not usable if we can't get it, but "sounds nice", so at least it has that going for it.
It suggests that the company executive's statement about iPhone and Android consumer opinion is a known premise upon which he predicts Nokia will build. But that consumer opinion *itself* is (according to the article) the novel reported idea and this same exec's opnion too. He's not just filling a niche, but claiming the niche even exists.
Er, the whole point of each of those package-managers dragging in a whole stack of stuff is to avoid the whole "one manager/upgrader stomped another's files" problem that got this whole thread started. Fink and MacPorts each have their own (for example) libxml2 so that neither one's nor apple's feature-enable/disable, interface-compatibility, or other changes affects anything except its own packages, which presumably know how their own lib is built. If CPAN had behaved the same way, we wouldn't be here, because apple would know exactly how its versions of things were and its upgrades would be self-consistent, and user-installed versions *somewhere else* would not be touched and would remain self-consistent with themselves. That's really the only solution that's easy to make work well (or at all) as a few-parentlevels-up notes, and that's precisely what you criticize Fink/MacPorts for doing.
If you build from source yourself, you're using apple's versions of libs, which is fine as long as you trust apple not to change things like this. If you do so and keep your files in/usr/local like you're supposed to, at worst, you'll have to recompile when an OS lib changes. The problem here is when users *didn't* restrict locally-installed things to/usr/local, which is just silly.
Rosetta only kicks in when a binary is started. Once a binary is running, it's stuck in whatever CPU mode it began...an intel-native executable cannot load a ppc shared-library module at all. So need to have a universal-binary exploit if one wants to hit both ppc and i386.

Say what, indeed! I guess that dust one sees in those newsreels of the moon landings and buggy-rides was there because some Hollywood effects hack didn't do his research. Just because there are no air currents to carry the dust around doesn't mean when you wipe moon dust off of a surface that it doesn't go flying in whatever direction you wiped it...

What is Perl 6?

How do you write nested lists such as [[1,2],[3,4],5,[6,7,8]]? In Python, it's trivial (that's how you'd write it), but in perl, nobody I talked to could give me an answer.
Uh dude, that's exactly how you write it in perl too. Well maybe you'd want [5] so it's really a "list of lists" and not a "list of lists and scalars", but still...
Nothing warms the cockles of my heart like hearing a spammer bleating about how it's the user's fault a broken model of electronic commerce isn't working.
I'm in a similar situation, but am forced to start from scratch (I got hired by a new company that has nothing pre-exising, so I can choose my front- and back-end weapons but cannot bring along my FM6 databases from my old company). My twist is that I require support for formatted text (sub/superscript, italics, preferably ability to mix in Symbol-font chars). Any solutions other than FileMaker?
Slashdot Mirror
...until he blew himself up.
Now he's blown into lots of separate bits.

The intro says Firefox is little more than a rounding error of use, but August 2017 stats have it at 12% (only slightly behind IE) on desktop.

whatever happened to giving them a stream of encrypted porn and letting them have at it?
Kids these days are soft.
They're being soft is both the cause and effect of not being able to see that porn?
For some, it wouldn't be the first time protection had been breached.
Is this a push to ban open source? If so by whom and why the FUCK is slashdot supporting it?
FUCK OFF.
It's the FoodBabification of science.
We'd better nuke Mars and destroy all the data from and engineering advances that left to the Rover just to be safe.

Who decided to use a hexadecimal multiplication table as the lead image for a story about base-10 multiplication tables?
Monitoring about 56% more students costs 8x as much? Gotta love no-bid contracts.

But without windows, how would we know if the sky was blue?
Indeed, the only time I ever see the sky is when I'm using Windows XP.
The only time I see blue is when I use Winders also, but it's unrelated to my desktop-pattern...

It has a lot to do with the browser choice actually, in that it's IE which is precisely the program that users shouldn't want installed.
"Causing the machine to crash gives a blue screen of death, and given the propensity of Winders to crash, we're just trying to even out the machines' inherent bias towards the Democrats."
Suit yourself--people do all kinds of irrational things based on emotion and faulty logic.
Fink was actually custom written on and for OS X by...well, by the authors of Fink. OpenDarwin is an entirely unrelated project.
Maybe it's SCO, trying to find their code buried in linux...
