We understand that fakesteve.net is primarily a satirical forum, but there is nothing amusing about advocating that customers attempt to deliberately degrade service on a network that provides critical communications services for more than 80 million customers. We know that the vast majority of customers will see this action for what it is: an irresponsible and pointless scheme to draw attention to a blog.
This Show is old but it is very interesting. How a silver rush in Czechoslovakia leads to telephone is amazing. History and science at its best. How one idea leads to another and how things are the way they are, you can't beat it. This guy is amazing and his shows explain some complex things in easy enough terms for a twelve year old. Maybe a bit more than your daughter but if she is asking questions then this is what you want. Truly an amazing historian.
Otherwise tell her about Ada Lovelace, Ãmilie du ChÃtelet, Lise Meitner and Marie Curie. Amazing women of science.
Source publisher is a great tool. http://www.scitools.com/ it is a compiler that produces web pages not machine/binary code. It won't produce macros but can create calling trees, review docs, metrics etc. You can 'execute' the code by follow links etc really helpful for degugging to. Plus if you don't know a type you can vew it. Great little tool.
I like the application deadline, September 2007, after the 'experiment' is over. In quintuplet no less. Looks like they know how to bureaucracy like the big boys.

What are the conditional compiles? Are they being used or abused?
#if GCC_1_8 or #if DEBUG vs #if 0 #FOREVER for(;;) vs #INC (x) x++
How much #define hell is there in codebases (ever see a VxWorks BSP?)
- hardware specific defines in C verses base classes and inheritence in C++
- #def that can be retouched at run time or used as constant without using const
- how many #ifdefs #undefs with other included code #define again burried.
- symbol replacement
Or how about casting! how much was done implicitly or explicitly? And could it have been avoided.
Yous guys don'na want to go tos yahoos. Wes got'ta better search heres sal'ssearch. Yous wanna boobs? We got BOOBs. Yous wanna car, we can get yous a deal on dat car, betters than anyone, trust us. Yous wanna a doctor? Goes here, dis is Phils, Phils is the best doc anywhere plus no reading tests on his walls.
Wheres you wanna goes today? Wes know a better place over heres.
Did you ever think he said this because he didn't want a competitor? He trounced Gateway at their own game; Compaq & HP did horrible things to themselves; and Sony well Sony is Sony.
Is Dell a industry leader? Yes. Is he a visionary? No. Could he take an upstart and make it profitable? Yes. Could he have turned a failing company around? Probably not.
He was just the first to figure out how to streamline hardware manufacture from a small capital into large capital and bring it to the masses.
Agreeing with everyone and telling them what they want to hear from a 'upstart' makes wall street think he has the right ideas, forward thinking paradigms outside the box which led to his success and all companies should be molded after him. (until the next great genius of our time comes along once in a life time.)
"We're such an impressionable people and we aspire so much to be like the West, that we take on anything that we believe is a symbol or a manifestation of Western culture."
Maybe we should send Eddie Van Halen over instead. Or maybe Diamond Dave just so we can see a whole society walking around in assless chaps. Wait I know, Democracy!

Bart's detinator didn't work, even though it worked on the test corpse.
Skinner has been covered dynamite but they were hotdogs; Armour hotdogs!
One thing I am complaining about, with and without beer is the frame rate of cameras. Why use 24/30 fps? Did we learn nothing from bullet time? Bump that up to about 100fps, certainly doable. Why? how many times are calls flubbed because a tennis or baseball moving 80mph? A receiver moving a foot to damn fast?
Also what about the chains for football, that is all dog & pony. You're gon'na sit there and tell me that a guy trotting down the field holding a chain is better than GPS? I know the ball placement is more art than science but not measuring distance.
Fastrax was dumb but the idea of cameras following the puck autonomously was freak'n cool and highlighting against the close boards was ok just not a good as a talented director switching camera angles. The other highlighting was ugly and annoying.
I used this last night while trying to find a different take out place. It sucked. It couldn't find the three places that are down the block. I even search on their names with the zip code and it couldn't find it. It ws horrible for trying to find lumber, didn't even find a Home Depot or Lowes.
They need to read up on more phonebooks, 'cuase that is how I found a better place. Go back to Beta, you're not finished!
There are instruments. From the Great Observatories and the Cosmic Origins projects. The problem though is that it took nearly 25 years for Spitzer to get off the ground and into orbit. The total life time cost is around $1.5 billion. $640-750 million for the satellite and then about roughly the same to run it. It only talks through the DSN which makes things extremly expensive. DI has one of the largetst telescopes that went to 'deep' space and that wan't cheap either. Right now it is on itsway back to earth and a parking orbit. Other than that no science being done. Why? Money. Once again running on the DSN, takes a lot of cash. The former runs at 20MHz and the latter about 115MHz. One uses flash the other didn't 'cause there was no rad-hard flash during design. The tech on the planet is not that same that can be used in space reliably. Forget about all of those assumptions in your calculation you better have the modeling down otherwise you're fscked.
So really the cost is a prohibiting factor as is the technology, not the desire to have telescopes in space.
Getting just a plain CS degree is like getting a degree in hammer. You have to know how to use that knowledge to create something people want to buy.
Hammers are used to build things, if you build a house people might want to buy it. Build a hunk of nails and wood, not too many are going to buy it. Unless you convince people it is an object d'art.
Knowing about loops and control structures is good, but if you can't create and upgradeable project, comment your code and work according to ICD and requirements what good are you?
Yes I know a whole heck of a lot of people. And lots of those people ski. Most of us have season passes. We ski >50 days a season on those passes. Also, I create ski trips all over the US. In the past 20 years of skiing I have only seen them recently. maybe one/two people on a tram, no one on gondolas maybe a few boarders on quads. Never on a pama, T or hiking up the hills. I talk to people on the chair with me; some like it some don't.
Nope don't use a helment, I think they cause a false sense of security. I have met many who just plow with their head if they have a helmet. Plus I find them restrictive and harder to hear anything.
I don't know anyone who has used a walkman or discman on the slopes. I have noticed that with the rise in MP3 players use of music players on the slopes has increased though. Personally I think using such things while skiing is a horrible idea.
Embedding the devices into a jacket is a stupid gimick, which will be obsolete by next winter, when newer electronics come out in more stylish jackets.
There was more coverage about the headphones/iPod she was using during the TV broadcast. Unlike most/.ers I want to be able to point to a reference, and this is the only one I could find that made any mention of headphones. Plus I thought the relevance of the story being recent was important.
