The future of academia is one-year to five-year contracts with non-tenured faculty. If you can bring in research contract money, your academic salary will still be reasonably competitive, at least in engineering and the hard sciences. If your research contracts dry up, your contract won't be renewed, and you'll need to move on.
I think this provides even more incentive to fabricate research results. If not getting funding means losing your job and the ability to provide for family, I wouldn't consider you crazy for thinking of cheating a little. Tenure is good for many reasons people on this board never think of.
It looks like the new generation of kids is redefining "several" to mean "seven". Generally, "several" is used to mean more than three, but not much more than 3. The progression is "a couple" (2), "a few" (3), "several" (more than 3, but not too many), and "many".
Typically Blockbuster was the only video store open after 10PM. And no self-respecting slacker goes to the store before 10PM--that would be so uncouth...
If the web site is down, the web master does not have to be paid to be on call. Moreover, nobody has to observe the logs daily for suspicious activity. If your e-commerce site on Linode was left unattended for a whole month, wouldn't you worry?
Seriously, everyone says this, but is it true? There aren't very many products priced the same for consumers and retailers, yet everyone assumes Sprint/Verizon/T-mobile all pay retail prices for phones, which I think would be crazy.
I've got an idea. How about we cure malaria AND give everyone free internet. I never thought Bill Gates was a jealous hater. He's beginning to see Microsoft as the failure it really is.
At the West Hollywood Best Buy I saw employees being visually inspected by a manager as they exited the store single file after closing. At a Culver City Best Buy one of the employees told me they get searched. I didn't believe him until I saw it being done at another location. Pretty humiliating. Hopefully the kids who work there now realize this is not the type of job you want to do long term.
i totally agree about the font. I used to store ascii encryption keys on plain paper. The one time I needed to recover the key, I realized I was too lazy to train the OCR to distinguish O's from 0's and 1's from l's. Months later I found a USB thumb drive with the key in a pile of my junk at home.
I think Pearson hopes schools do not adopt texts which are not available on the iPad. LAUSD will be paying for new editions of the same virtual books in perpetuity. This is corporate welfare at its finest.
If 16 year-old little Johnny is downloading porn at home, it is not unreasonable to think he might want to see images of naked 16 year-old girls, especially if he already has in real life (which is not illegal if consensual). Having the Google child porn block might save little Johnny's father from having to spend 20 years in prison. I have children, so I would definitely use it.
Microsoft foresaw (correctly) that eventually the OS would become irrelevant, and the web would become the platform.
No they didn't. Microsoft never "foresaw" anything like that. They simply try to "embrace and extend" successful ideas of others if considered a threat to their monopoly.
My main concern was whether it can run VMWare Workstation acceptably, and it can. Any larger VM scenarios instantly create a disk IO bottleneck on any desktop PC.
Oh c'mon. Just about any desktop with sufficient RAM and a modern processor can run several virtual machines with boring 7200RPM drives. My students don't complain, even in the hour just before an assignment is due when everyone is using.

Please. 99% of the people downloading the book won't bother to read it. They're just downloading because they can.
It's true the author of the post hasn't done any research, but the answers to the question (like use GNU MPFR) are valuable to others.

Several != Seven

This is the bubble where ideology and proof are one and the same.

I can sum up your long post in 3 words: haters gonna hate.

Except in pure mathematics--the most important field of all.
Thus spoke the unknowing. C++ compilers can and will optimize OOP code in ways a C compiler never can with fake OOP added to the language.
Please, sir, provide us an example of this wondrous claim.
If TI-83's were made by Apple, they would have high resolution displays, which are very useful for visualizing graphs of rational functions.

How the fuck is "by the end of 2013" more specific than "in the next few months"?
Linus?

Now, if a drunk driver runs into the "cloud" datacenter, what will you do? Go to the heavens?
At least in a state where the US senate representative is guaranteed to be Republican, it makes sense to bribe him.

What does full-stack mean? Is this akin to a "fully-loaded" car?
The zookeeper says: Please don't feed the trolls.
Don't feed the trolls? On Slahsdot? BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!!!!!
