You can get a Ph. D for free in many schools (well, the ones I'm looking at, anyway). In fact, they'll pay you a stipend of around $2000 a month in exchange for doing some sort of grad. student work. Does that mean that any job requiring a Ph. D is intrinsically worth nothing?
You are not paying for the employee's degree. You are paying for the competence and knowledge aquired over many years that is suggested by the employee's degree.
I certainly would not work for $30k with a Ph. D; I get more than that already and I don't even have a BS yet. Trying to force that sort of salary upon the skilled workers of the country would probably cause many of them to switch fields or move to higher paying locations (or ones with significantly lower costs of living), as well, which would have a rather devastating effect on the country's economy and technical prowess.
You don't even need to shell out $400 for a laser printer. There are personal lasers for as little as $70. I haven't even used up the starter toner on it yet and I've had it for 6 months.
They (or someone else) will publish another paper when they discover more details. It's common in research, and just as well, because the idea is infinitely more valuable than the implementation most of the time.
I'm not a DBA, but wouldn't normalization slow the queries down due to increasing the number of joins that queries would need to make? I thought that the purpose of normalization is to eliminate data anomalies by getting rid of as much redundancy as possible.
Nachia did this during the peak of the LovSan virus. I remember hearing that it DDoSed Windows update or something of that nature because it was trying to download patches on all machines that it infected.
Come to think of it, what it should have done was set up a BitTorrent-like environment and downloaded the patches via that:)
But as the poster who was (wrongly, IMO) modded down to -1 said, it's still illegal.
We know that the release of methane would trigger a positive feedback loop, at least in the Siberian region, as more warming leads to more methane being released. My question regards another feedback, however: What effect would the melting peat bogs have on the surface albedo of the region?
The class in question required a computer; we were administering real systems. I simply found it more productive to have a laptop around in class than to use the systems that the school provided me. Being able to ssh into that system from anywhere was also very helpful, and I think that most actual sysadmins would agree. I don't find it helpful to use a laptop in lectures; the majority of my notes are on paper, which helped enormously when I had to refer back to them to do research.
In other words, I never said that computers == learning. I merely stated that they are helpful to have on hand in certain situations that a computer science student (or any student) may experience.
The professors at my school are certainly not afraid to fail people; only 4 CS students in my class (of about 200 incoming) will be graduating next year. I've watched people throw hardware at the problem; indeed, I've tutored many of them. I agree that a computer does not make up for actual learning.
Laptops aren't necessary (but are still helpful, since labs can be crowded at times) in college unless you're a computer science major. My laptop was invaluable during a system administration course that I recently took. It's also been very helpful throughout my four years, as it gives me the ability to ssh into the school's server and work on my programs wherever I happen to be.
Laptops are useful, but, as with everything in college, it's up to the student to use them responsibly. If you're the type that will automatically fire up solitaire when the laptop is on, you shouldn't have one or should keep it off during class.
The Zelda games are as much puzzle games as hack 'n slashes, though, if not moreso. Stealth is just another instance where you can't use your sword to solve a problem.
I find the expand utility (which probably comes with most Linux distros) very useful for this. Type tabs in whatever IDE you're using, run expand when you're done, and you have spaces. I imagine that most editors even go so far as to build this feature in, though I've never bothered looking it up in vi.
I don't know if this helps anyone who can't get the drivers working, but fglx 8.13.4 worked for me where 8.14.13 did not. Still no DRI, but at least I can load the driver. I'm running on AMD64 with a Radeon Xpress 200M.
If you're considering purchasing a laptop with that chipset for use with Linux, I would advise against it. It's not fun to get working, and there are strange bugs like the system clock running twice as fast as it should be (I think that the APIC was generating twice as many interrupts as it should have been - there's a kernel parameter that you can pass to fix this without patching).
And that's an improvement from a few years ago. I had one of those Radeon Mobility 7500 IGPs; I waited over a year (probably two; I forget how long exactly) for driver support in Linux, and even then, there were strange problems like holes in textures.

Even if it does, you can set the server up on your own system for whatever duration the disc requires.

Why do you need a dedicated computer? What's wrong with using 127.0.0.1?

But warming much faster than the rest of the world, according to a previous article.

"Good" material is subjective, especially in music. Who are you to say that the music doesn't "deserve" to be remixed?

Programming is actually a very small part of the curriculum. Only at the lower levels is it actually the majority of the work.

Probably. Balance is incredibly complex, and it's common for the body to quickly adapt when one signal conflicts with another.
This research has some medical use; I can see it being used to treat persistent vertigo.
Will this do?
It isn't so much technology as accepting a new culture that we don't understand. Will we end up that way? Probably.

Don't confuse programmers with web developers. The sets overlap, but they are hardly congruent.
Firefox does support DHTML, assuming you're referring to interactive DOM manipulation through script. If not, please clarify what you mean.

That's actually an example of something TFA says explicitly not to do - it's the "Don't insult people's intelligence" tip.
All in all, I found that the article's guidelines matched pretty closely to my own commenting style. I second the author's recommendations.
You have? Where can I pick up one of these 1.6 THz Macs that everyone seems to have?
