  1. It comes down to IQ. on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 1

    It's as simple as IQ & Numbers. The Chinese and Indians have 10x more than our population. They have 1.2 Billion plus 1 Billion. We have 300 Million. (OK, maybe 9x) Out of our population, maybe only 1% - 10% of our society is intelligent enough to go into engineering. So, 1% of 300 Million is 3 Million. IQ distribution is about the same in any population. So the same goes for Indians and Chinese. So, 1% of 2.2 Billion is 22 Million. We have 3 Million, they have 22 Million. Simple math. Also, since they have so many more to compete, with they are more aggressive at their education.

  2. IBM's immunity system.. on Internet Immunization · · Score: 1

    This is nothing new. IBM has a whitepaper discussing this. It's called an "Immunity system". Essentially a cluster of machines are dedicated to automatically and manually process potential candidates for Viruses, and then creates and propigates the signiture file for the virus.

    no big deal.

  3. Google Maps vs Traffice Ticket... on Using Google Maps to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket · · Score: 1

    I am currently using Google to help me with a traffic ticket. I was pulled over by an officer who claimed that I was "weaving" left of center.

    The only problem is that where he claimed I was "weaving" there is a concrete divider!

    I pulled up google, and was able to show that sure enough that had I been weaving left of center, I would have hit the divider!

  5. Mac Mini (xMac) on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Wow! I have always dreamt of owning a Mac. I have wasted literally, years of my life fiddling with POS generic Intel boxes with MS-Windows issues.

    Could my dream be coming true? A Macintosh I can JUSTIFY to myself?

    After work, I'm running to the local computer store just like when I was a kid, and checking out one of these new Mini Macs.

  6. Staying in shape... on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    The secret is moving your legs. Moving our legs can greatly improve the keyboard gut. I like to take walks outside the office whenever I can. Not only do I help keep the weight off, it helps with my work. We need to walk at least 20 minutes a day. It is best if you can walk briskly at least 3 hours per week. The bike is a great idea. Biking can burn 1300 - 2000 calories. If you had a bike stashed at the office, you could tool it out for a ride. Of course burning calories isn't the magic bullet for weight loss... The key gentlemen is increasing our Resting Metobalic Rate. When we sit at our keyboards, this rate is drastically lowered. Let me give you a story which might encourage you... I have been working out (body building) and running for the past 4 weeks on a consistant basis. (Off and on for 2 years now) Everyday I got on the treadmill and tried to run 15-20 minutes. Everyday, the same thing, I would get winded, out of breath, I felt like my heart was going to jump through my throat. I had a heart rate of like 180! Then one day, I hopped on, and BOOM! I could run, I could RUN! I didn't feel like I was going to die. I could breath without feeling winded! My heart rate was 130! Oh what glory... This had NEVER happened to me in my life. Even as a teenager. If this has happned to you, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If it hasn't, well, it will, IF you keep it up. Trust me, you will like it. Running can be very fun. BTW: Try speed walking, at 3.5 - 3.8 MPH, it's much easier than running at higher speeds, and you get 90% of the benefit. Hope this helps. (Oh if your wondering at all about BodyBuilding, there is just 1 exercise you can do that will make your life so much better, and that's the "deadlift". If you just do deadlifts a few times a week, your whole body will get stronger. I would like to recommend a great book, it's called "Strength Training Anatomy" It's a very thin book with a Blue cover. It' costs about $29.00 new. Amazon has it, and you can see inside! Check it out... the ISBN is: ISBN: 0736041850 We have the Brains people, now we just need to get the "Body"! :) Oh 1 last thing, chicks do dig hardbodies. Don't believe that BS "sweet" nice guy crap. You can be the biggest prick, and if you have abs, the chicks are on you. Hope this reaches somebody!
