Heh, at the rate things are going, don't be too suprised if that's the way it will be.
I've never seen a business that can raise rates like the USPS does and still be losing money.
And it's NOT because of e-mail. I send just as many paper letters now as I did before the advent of e-mail, which is none.
The judges expressed empathy for communities that want to protect children from an aggressive commercial pornography industry intent on luring young customers.
I'm sorry? Since when do we see ads popping up saying "Hey kiddies! Come look at naked ladies!"
Were this not a 4/1 joke, I would almost, ok, not really, be disappointed that my blog (lame as it is) didn't get snatched up in the fray. I mean, come on, I think it's good (read: fairly lame), but then I'm biased (read: I own it, so I'd BETTER support it, even if I think it's lame).
Actually, on earth, due to curvature, everything that appears to move on a flat plane, actually goes along that ever-so-slight curve that, to the eye, is almost imperceptible, but I'm sure the brain would have a tendency to compensate for. In space things would move along a much closer approximation to a flat plane/straight line
That's what the article is saying. The brain may have a pre-programmed response to gravity on earth, but may be able to learn, and apply new constants if needed. Your body and brain learn to adapt to their surroundings in all kinds of different ways. So, it would make sense that it's programmed for an approximation of 9.8m/s2. The brain is, after all, a computer.
I thought you were legally able to sign contracts at 16, not 18. If I were him, I'd check on that.
Personally, let the kid code, obviously he's good. Get his parents to sign a guardian contract, I'm sure they're aware of his abilities, and it would make an excellent entry on a resume in the future.
Or even the toilet seat. Low level current should be enough to keep it nice and toasty. Really would only need a few degrees above room temp to be MUCH more comfortable
Ummm... Your numbers are a bit flawed. Here at the University of Michigan, our budget for FY02 was/is $9B (Yes, that's billion). Undergrad students don't pay that much compared to grad students, and a major university like Colorado is going to cost a WHOLE lot more than $1000/semester including room and board (If that was the case, I'm going back to school in a big way). Not to mention, the grants for research, donations, awards, etc. The amount they pay their employees is really a very small portion of the budget.
Now, I know nobody will probably read this, since a 6 day old posting is pretty much Moot, but, hey, wanted to make my point
If you've installed real player in the past, you can see that in action.
During the installation there is a "Special Offers" section. The first four (Which, not coincidentally are the only ones that show up in the little box) are unchecked by default, but scrolling down reveals that the other 15 options are checked.
Remember when the web used to be free, of ads, that is?
That's what I was thinking. Why try to control 30 different engines, which, by the nature of manufacturing, are going to work just slightly different from each other, when you can work with maybe 10 larger ones.
It's much easier to juggle 3 balls than it is 4 or 5... etc
I think this would be a pretty good thing for gamers. Not even the ones that run their systems into the ground. The faster you can access the data on the CD/HDD/DVD, the better the game runs. There's nothing worse than waiting the extra time for a cut scene to load. For me, it totally throws off the flow of the game.
For servers though this might be compeling but if scsi keeps up, it will have a hard time breaking their superiority.
This type of technology would be a great boon for the low-mid end server market. Especially if the cost is the same/comparable to existing low-end server hardware.
What you're going to see is 3 or 4 high-end machine brands on the shelves, and a slew of bargain machines all over the place (not much different than we have now).
As far as the racks at BB go, the big players are Compaq, HP, Sony, and newly Alienware. But there's also the lower end machines interspersed amongst the big players (ie. e-machines, BestBuy's personal brand, etc).
There's always going to be choice, just maybe a little less once the merger happens, but then we'll be seeing many more bargain boxes on the shelves.
When I finally see it. There has been so much speculation about this, and rumours about that, a little bit of leak here, and a little assumption there.
When I finally see an announcement that it's happened and start seeing some Hewlett PackPaq(tm) boxes on the shelves, then we can start talking.
It's really a tough call to make. On one hand, child pornography is against the laws in all 50 states and most countries in the world. It's illegal to make it, distribute it, and even have it. In that respect they are perfectly in their rights to limiting access to such content.
On the other hand, in order to pull off something of such great magnitude, crossing state and international boundaries is going to be a technical and political nightmare.
I, for one, am personally against governments having the power to force ISPs to block any type of access to the net. Even something as disgusting (note, my personal opinion, I can't speak for all) as child pornography. Give a gov't that kind of power in even a tiny tiny amount, and you open things up for abuse.
I guess you can say, I'm still on the fence about all of this, my sensibilities as a person say, by all means, block things like that, but then the other side comes in to play, block one, and others will follow.
I shudder at the complete lack of true intelligence this person appears to have. At the very lease, a modicum of knowledge about the legal system and the way it works probably would have saved him a large amount of problems. But, he proceeded to go into the courtroom with a verbal loaded gun and empty it's entire contents directly into his foot.
And this is someone who's supposed to be considered intelligent?

It's obvious, as it is in many poorly written tech books, that the author knows his subject! The problem is, he doesn't consider the fact that we, the reader, may not
It's a well known fact that people who know a lot about a subject, and may be able to answer any question you may have if you ask them, simply can't write a book or teach a class to save their lives. Extensive knowledge does not always lead to ability to teach. I'm sure the book is extremely informative for someone who would like a reference to things related to T1, but for someone who wants to actually learn it (Such as myself), this would probably be a very difficult read at best.
I think I concur with the author in that, if it wasn't an O'reilly title, which has a history of good explanations and good writing, then it wouldn't be such a problem.
All I want, is to be able to buy a blank machine w/o having to pay the licensing for something I don't use. Where I work, we have a custom agreement with MSFT. I'm not a big fan of paying the standard fee when I can get my choice of MS OSs for $40 cash and carry.
Ummm... Any smart IT administrator would cringe at the idea of installing Outlook, 50% due to bloat, 50% due to lack of security.
At my place of work, we use Novell Groupwise. I'm sorry to say, but it's very effective at blocking virii and other nasties, mainly because of the fact that it ignores scripting and uses it's own proprietary addressbook system. That, in itself causes it's own set of issues, but that's another discussion.
Seriously, though, whenever it is that we see a large scale infection, it's because of Joe User that brought in his own Office2k/XP disc and installed Outlook. At least that's the primary reason for the infections on the Hospital side. On the University side, most people use pine from a telnet session, nearly virus/trojan/worm proof.

Isn't SCO's statement that IBM's allegations are unsubstantiated akin to the old cliche of "The Pot calling the Kettle black"?
