I agree but I bet the higher level classes actually do get into that more... you can't expect too much from the first two years, they're trying to build the basic concepts and foundations before you can really explore it in depth and meaning.
Reading this made me think "wow that is EXACTLY what I went through" when I did customer service for NextCard credit cards (when they were in business).
I'm glad I got out of the phone support rut. It was a nice company to work for, and even fun at times, but it just goes nowhere.... and you really get sick of talking to customers.
There's a circuit in the chip, which is not just "one line or branches"... it really already is a "crazy ass network" it flows through. You might be able to change the layout slightly and make the circuit itself more efficient by giving yourself the freedom of working in 3 dimensions... however I bet that would be harder to design, manufacture, and cool.
"Parents should be more diligent not with monitoring every single thing their kids do on the computer, but educating them what's ok and not ok to do on the Internet."
The problem here, is that you assume that parents possess that sort of common sense any more than their kids do.
The satellite that had aerogel to collect particles I think was collecting samples from a comet.
I'm talking about the satellite that was collecting bits of the sun on the solar wind (and then crashed), it did have many hard hexagonal shaped pieces to collect the particles in.
Well... I've never had a math or science teacher ever pronounced phi as "fee", and Merriam-Webster only lists phi as being pronounced as rhyming with "pie".
I was talking about phi, not pi. But both phi and pi should rhyme with "pie" in English.

O Lord, ooh, You are so big, so absolutely huge. Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You. Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and barefaced flattery. But You're so strong and, well, just so super. Fantastic! Amen.
I just saw a TV program last night or this morning about analyzing what the Sun is made of.
A satellite was sent out and put into L-1 (I think) for 3 years or so. It had an area of shiny hexagonal materials, of quite a few different kinds like I think maybe gold covered sapphire was one of them. So bits of the Sun were carried out by solar wind and collided with the collectors at something like 200 miles per second... fast enough to bury little particles into the hard collectors.
Then it folded itself up and headed back to Earth... unfortunately the parachute didn't open on re-entry. So it came tumbling into Earth and crashed somewhere in Utah I think. They managed to rescue a few good pieces though of the shattered collectors. And supposedly they didn't get too contaminated since the speed of the crash was much less than the speed that the solar particles were traveling at when they hit the collectors. So Utah dirt didn't get down as deep as the solar particles... and they're analyzing it.
I don't know how long ago this happened though... but I would think they would have as good or better data than studying moon samples.
Ok so you can force whatever color scheme you want to use on slashdot, right? By manually putting in apple.slashdot.org or linux.slashdot.org or games.slashdot.org into the URL of whatever page youre looking at? Maybe they will keep this design around for later and you can just do like pink.slashdot.org ? I want to impress all my friends !
I was really happy Stanford won the competition. The "red" team with two entries (from Carnegie Mellon?) also finished but were behind on time... the thing is though not only was Stanford's win absolute, they also did it much "smarter".
Stanford took an approach of focusing on software, to make their vehicle more smart. They gave it the course, but left it up to the vehicle to decide how fast to go and the specifics of how soon to turn, etc.
Meanwhile Carnegie Mellon took the approach of focusing on hardware, and it took them something like 2 hours to go over the course and specifically map out a path for the vehicle to follow and the speed it should take (as opposed to I think they said 27 minutes to just give the course details to the Stanford vehicle). Carnegie Mellon had a team of at least a dozen grad students figuring it all out.
So I was much happier with Stanford's win, it seemed like more of an accomplishment.
How often do you try and view a page on myspace to get some message like "down for maintenance" and then you hit refresh and it's there. I swear myspace serves error pages at random... and all of their notifications about maintenance are lies. It's the buggiest website I've ever seen, and it hasn't gotten better even with News Corp. backing.
Facebook has always been pretty nice. And they regularly add new features to it and make improvements to the interface. Oh yeah, and it's pretty much never "down for maintenance".
But why is it in Dell's best interest to be Intel's best friend forever?
Dell is big enough they can always threaten to switch to AMD to get better deals from Intel (and they probably NEED to do that periodically, even if they are Intel's best friend). And they might want to switch to AMD for some systems when AMD is the clear leader at the moment (like right now and the past few years, but it looks like soon Intel may be ahead of AMD for awhile).

Indeed! If it weren't for the console wars, life would just be so uninteresting that I would just rather DIE!
Well put.

Mmmmmmm.... fingernail crud bread... delicious.
Hmmm... looks like the Mac guy is Justin Long (I remember he was in Galaxy Quest?)
and PC guy is John Hodgman (expert on everything for The Daily Show)
Hey... I've got some HOT sonograms of NAKED PRE-natal fetuses... interested?
They're WET in amniotic fluid and there's no telling what these NAUGHTY fetuses will do when they think no one's watching!
...I'm not a lawyer but this sure sounds illegal... and if it's not illegal, it probably should be.

That's a different satellite.

Fee?
.
It should rhyme with pie, and
NOT
with pee. Unless you are a Greek.
Hope that helps
at least some.

It's the ghost of the old Gateway laptop you got rid of when you got your brand new MacBook Pro.
This is a very long standing bug then... I remember people using the tag back in like Netscape Navigator 2 or 3 to make my PC play MIDI files!
(And it was slightly less annoying back then, than it is now when you look at someone's Myspace profile and get an earful of crap)

Was it salted?
Geez is this ever true...
oh crap that made me laugh
So Stanford's vehicle was smart, and Carnegie Mellon's two vehicles were "dumb".
And guess what vehicles they started with? Stanford built around a Volkswagen diesel (Passat? Golf?)... and Carnegie Mellon worked with.... Hummers.
Very appropriate.
It was definitely brains (Volkswagen with sophisticated software) versus brawn (Hummer with less sophisticated mapping).
I caught the show yesterday also.
I was really happy Stanford won the competition. The "red" team with two entries (from Carnegie Mellon?) also finished but were behind on time... the thing is though not only was Stanford's win absolute, they also did it much "smarter".
