"Have the instructors in those courses actually done any real work outside of academia?"
no.
didn't stop them from writing the book on the subject though and forcing the students to by the book they authored and had printed, so I think they at least did a calculus course before that.. besides, the aim of the course is to try to teach people to program right(tm(C) by books author).
besides than that, they would tell you to not use C but to use garbage collecting c++ or whatever extension of the year happens to be in vogue, getting around this cleanup problem(and moving it elsewhere).
"This is not only one of the oldest archaeologically documented cases of death during childbirth, but also the earliest confirmed set of human twins in the world,"
it does. not sure of though if you mean that slashdot is for scientific minded or the other site..
1 GB is a joke. unlimited 3g (speed limited after 20gigs to 512kbit/s) is for sale in many euro countries for 10 bucks / month, so you were still getting ripped.
in finland you have been able for years to go to a kiosk, buy a simcard with unlimited 3g for a month for 20 bucks and later 10 bucks / month.
actually, you could still end up with less prisoners? which is kind of funny since those countries are known to put people in prison just for having an opinion and have even stricter drug/substance laws..
were they using the facebook access to run a gang and to arrange mass murders? no? don't add 100 years to their sentence then if you don't want outsiders to think you have a fucked up justice system....actually is the result of the piss poor justice system you have from start to end, including prosecutor deals, parallel construction, too little of police training, too little of prison personnel training.. it's like USA is a third world country when it comes to these things - claiming to be one of the richest countries in the world and with most resources and yet they can't afford to train the police 5 years before giving them permit to go around patrolling alone with instructions to shoot(to kill) if they feel threatened.
because uber drivers would be cheaper, so they think they have to make this statement that the people will get a "better" service and that they're not screwing over the people. that's why they're mentioning uber.
well it's 100% purely about protectionism in this case.
You see, otherwise they wouldn't mention Uber in their press. Asians are stupid in that way that they don't understand public relations and when they're doing something fishy(competition or whatever wise) they _will_ make a public statement that they are not doing it, even if it makes no sense to make such statement, because it makes it just seem like that they're banning a competitor.
if there's a public statement from some government figures for example that some prosecution case was not politically motivated, then its pretty certain that it was. and they will make that statement, even if they control the press!
yeah.. and the money the manufacturer spends on the smart features is in the 25 bucks range, which of a 1000$-2000$ bucks purchase is not that much.
just don't connect it to the internet and you're golden. it's pretty fucking unlikely to inject ads into your displayport feed anyways even if you connected it to the net.
you would likely pay more for a version that didn't have a tuner anyways due to lower sales for that model and lower production numbers...
true, a smart person might say that. but an informed and wise person would not. there's a world of difference between the two.
and a stupid person would try to beat cancer by eating carrots because that's what cavemen did and rarely died of cancer, so surely it must work? not grasping the reduction in mortality that vaccinations gave to the west is ignorant.
ntia only gives them assignment(license) to use their bands, not to interfere with fcc licensed bands... intercepting and decoding private comms permission then again is acquired from a judge in the form of a warrant. the rules the fbi is breaking were not made for the fbi and the fbi shouldn't have a free pass to break 'em in the first place.
it's not a waste of time as such to complain about it. in your view fbi would be free to block all transmissions on a whim which clearly is not the case.
they're using stingrays as they think(thought) they can get away with it without anyone noticing.. and the usage time for stingray devices is limited anyways since newer cell tech makes them obsolete so they only need to hush them for a while.
as to the privacy report.. I suppose it's just really, really private.
with that kind of population why would anyone need to invade if it would be in worse condition than a war would bring just from rioting due to loss of electricity?
puh plze what would be the benefit anyhow? and would these two unknown effect nukes somehow stop the retaliation?
what's stopping russians from doing it then?...seriously, much worse condition than combined ground attack from rest of the world? what the fuck man, what the fuck. americans are not that kind of gods and hundred million+ troops would CERTAINLY cause much more havoc.
in such cases I always wonder why they bought the company in the first place and not the bunch of chinese engineers.
case in point with Microsoft buying Nokia - and as the next thing basically laying off everyone involved in physical product production, ui toolkit production and what was left of OS production and then throwing away the Nokia name and starting to sell the phones under Microsoft brand(essentially leaving nothing worthwhile of the previous company - and most patents were already spun off into the patents holding collaboration company so that's not it either - and pie in the sky r&d folks got the boot too). like, why the fuck bother with the takeover in the first place?
if they had written a new windowing toolkit (gtk/qt) then sure, maybe worth some money if it was good.
so the right way to think about it is more like if they forked some gtk window manager.
the way they put it is this: "We stripped back the GNOME components that we didn't want or need, built replacements where appropriate, and started to nail the UX between WingPanel, Plank, Slingshot, and the other components. Around the same time, GNOME was hard at work with GNOME Shell, another modern DE.
elementary has never used GNOME Shell, and the user experience between the two is quite different. Because work on Pantheon was happening around the same time that GNOME was developing GNOME Shell, many people seem to think that Pantheon is actually a fork of or built from GNOME Shell."
well duh, wonder why they would think that? wtf would they even care about it, the thing that matters is that it's built on GNOME even if it's development was parallel to Shell.
the greeks can start using rubles for all I care. saves them the trouble of printing the money themselves.
oh and if you don't think that he's an asshole... how is he not? his policies are just asshole policies through and through. he's not cleaning up street level corruption in russia and only taking things into his own fold, pisses on the elections, parliament and freedom of expression and rights of the people, annexed a part of another state after his puppet got overthrown and is supplying weapons and troops.
and not least assholistic is running the russian media as he is.
paypal is exactly printing their own paypal money by assigning money into paypal accounts. that's how they got people started and hoped that everyone wouldn't cash out at once.
paypal: can create as much as paypal as it wants - probably doesn't want to create more than it can pay out though.
paypal isn't only a go between, since you can let your funds sit in a paypal account. it's a bank but bullshited itself out of being a bank so they can grab whatever accounts they want when they feel like it.
bitcoin exchange: cannot create bitcoins out of thin air as much as they want.
however here's a top tip: never let your bitcoins sit in an exchange and never let your dollars sit in paypal.
well the thing is that you don't need to keep your bitcoin _in_ the exchange... you only need to transfer it for the transfer.
if you're banking your bitcoin with the exchange then you're a dolt, even if they pay interest rate on it. if they pay a high interest rate then they're a scam.
and the process of sending money to the exchanges _is_ regulated like any financial transactions, so you're quite a bit off on that. it's you transferring bitcoin to another bitcoin owner that's the unregulated channel and then you're sending bitcoin..
whereas they can try to argue that you're transmitting in public so they don't need a warrant. of course they wouldn't like to actually have to tell that in public.
never mind that use of such devices would be highly illegal and against fcc regulations and that such devices are a crime against the person making the call and the phone company as well.
they know they're fucked if the information of how the devices are used gets out so they don't want it out.
that depends entirely on how the usb audio device was built anyways.
and you can do bit-perfect tests to show if you're spouting bullshit anyhow.
and you can check the devices for retransmits.
it's just bullshit and since audiophiles can't double-blind test them it's just more and more bullshit. the fucking 1k+ ethernet cables for audio idiots have fucking direction symbols on them.
multiple manufacturers and clones. raspberry had just one clone company and they only managed to buy chips for one test run... raspberry doesn't really like competition and broadcomm is working with them to that end.
raspberry pi(2) is really engineered to be manufactured by one company to make money for one company.
more expansion pins as well, it seems. how many of them are usable as gpio pins, I don't know and possibly remains to be seen(there's several dedicated to that use but if the i2c pins etc can be repurposed to that remains to be seen I suppose.
it also has io level shifters, making it easier to use 5v expansion chips.
yeah should be simple enough to make it so that you should be able to access the content in the intended fashion if the company shuts down servers...
or better yet, how about making it into a law that if you own the game and data content, you can hack it to connect to where-ever. fuck their in-app payment locks.
"The first method is the easiest. Making 3D printed products costs less than purchasing them, so the value of a design is the savings users generate by substituting open hardware scaled by the number of downloads. Many free design repositories (e.g. Youmagine and Thingiverse) track the number of downloads," says Pearce."
that's actually bollocks. injection molded pieces can be sold at lower price than 3d printing them at home.
I have a 3d printer, too.
the real value is in that I can buy the controller board for my 3d printer from multiple manufacturers for cheap, they have cheap prices BECAUSE IT'S OPEN SOURCE so there's a bunch of clone manufacturers.
so first you would need to define the "who" the value is for anyways..

that's part of buying the phone, it comes with the manufacturers software!

so what addons would _fail_ the extension signing?
who lobbied for this, the devs for the top 10 extensions?

you know what's funny? raspberry pi is cheaper...
bt.tn is a nice plastic design if you like '80s design and colors though. but for being a connected button it really is expensive.

yeah so it first spent an infinite amount of time being 'small' but not 'big bang start of all' small?
if they're saying that the universe grows and the contracts again to a point(big bang) and grows ad infinitum then yeah why not..
but how does the whole thing fit into the models we have for matter to come into existence(I mean different atoms) and so forth?
and what's this "MAY" take into account.. it either does or doesn't.
