I assumed a this change must indicate a major break in backwards compatibility or a risky technical leap, but Linus says no:
There's also the timing issue - since we no longer do version numbers based on features, but based on time, just saying "we're about to start the third decade" works as well as any other excuse.
I think you guys are getting too caught up in negativity. A CS degree is still valuable:
Majors in the engineering field dominated the association's list of top-paying degrees for the class of 2011, with four of the top five spots going to engineering majors... Chemical engineers were offered the highest starting salaries this year -- an average of $66,886. Mechanical engineers received salary offers averaging $60,739... The only non-engineering major among the top five was computer science, which earned graduating students average starting salary offers of $63,017.
A Master's in CS is more along the lines of what you wanted. In an Bachelor's degree, you only end up with 1.5-2 years of courses within your major. A Master's degree doubles that in just two more years.
You can always find a loophole. That verse just says nobody knew the day and hour a couple thousand years ago. Who's to say it hasn't been determined or revealed since?
Wow, it's more complicated than I guessed. My monitor (Dell) does support DisplayPort as well as HDMI and DVD, so perhaps there was a simpler route? But at least it does seem to work fine.
That's what I think, it just doesn't take advantage of the new features in the thunderbolt port. I'm going to give up and buy a FW800 external hard drive, so I guess thunderbolt missed its opportunity with me for now.
I have one of those Thuderbolt Macbook Pros. To get a DVI Output, you have to use a little box (which costs about $80) that plugs into the Thunderbolt port and a USB port. Now here is the weird part - to enable DVI output you must plug it into BOTH thunderbolt AND a usb port. Why? Isn't Thunderbolt supposed to replace USB as well as DVI/HDMI/Displayport? The breakout box ought to have dual-DVI (which it does), but also a usb hub, and an ethernet port, and a sound connector. Isn't that what Thunderbolt is supposed to do - handle everything? That would make up for the fact there's no docking station available.
No, that doesn't follow at all. If Netflix is 30% of all Internet traffic, then it's obviously a greater than 30% share of the traffic generated by people who subscribe to Netflix, since most people do not subscribe to Netflix.
The phrase "just from streaming data" is obvious slant in itself, as if any amount of websurfing, gaming, or email would be significant compared to streaming a movie.
Yeah, that's it. It wasn't bat shit insane inflation. It wasn't 8% unemployment. It wasn't farcically high interest rates.
Yes, it was those things. Fundamentally they're cyclical, but Carter could have alleviated them - by taking on debt. As Reagan did. Those debts, such as the failure to fully fund Social Security for the boomers' retirement, and paying civil servants with unfunded pension liabilities, still have not been repaid.
And that is why Obama is taking on so much debt now. Lessons from US political history taken to heart. As much as people complain about the debt, whatever hurts their wallet right now is a voting issue.
It wasn't foreign policy humiliation.
Whereas Reagan came in and "solved" Iran? It is still a problem today. How do 52 hostages, eventually released, compare to thousands of dead soldiers and hundreds of thousands of dead civilians? In the eyes of some, Bush II somehow wins that contest. How? By making value judgments with the ego, which is irrational.
I will take liberal democracy by lawyer any day of the week when the alternative is communist oligarchy by scientist.
It's not immediately clear why those things should have to go together. Maybe because analytical, honest people tell us things we don't want to hear? Carter was drummed out of office for telling us energy was finite, and that we needed to buckle down and tighten our belts a bit for a while. He got railroaded by an actor who told everybody whatever they wanted to hear and put us firmly on the path of financial irresponsibility.
Obviously this is all just IMHO, but I tossed out most of my old stuff a while ago and have rarely missed any of it. It reduces the temptation to waste an evening (or more) trying to scrounge together a frankenstein system, reading old newsgroups to figure out how to resolve IRQ conflicts and write an autoexec.bat, and all that evil stuff. I have purchased a few old nostalgia items from ebay (non-computer stuff) and I find having it again is never as good as reminiscing about it.
If nothing else, figure the space in your home is $150-$200 / sf. Keeping junk isn't free, it costs money. Declutter and you may feel less desire for a larger place.
Actually that wouldn't be false causation, since drinking actually does cause pissing. It would just mean the result could be broadened to people who drink anything else that isn't too harmful. (Virtually all "causes" are indirect if you break things down enough.)
It is pretty foolish to lump coffee in with crack just because the umbrella word "drug" covers both. The risk/benefit ratio of one says nothing about the other. (It would make more sense to pick on alcohol, which is a commonly used drug with devastating effects for some users).
Surprisingly, the article doesn't even say why they drilled it, other than it being related to energy production.
IMHO Niagara falls is a compelling model of how NOT to do conservation. It's littered with tacky tourist traps. (Just like what was attempted at most protected sites in the US before Teddy Roosevelt came along).
I hope actionable information will come out of this, but so far the only reports have been more "death to American" evangelism. Why encrypt that?
The New Scientist article says they got email addresses, but that operatives change them constantly. And you can bet they'll be changing them now.
I was under the impression with things like ECHELON we could just read every email ever sent anywhere in the world.
Maybe OBL was hard to track because he wasn't saying anything that only he could have said - but then, how could he have remained in power? If the medium for your communications is obfuscated enough that it can't be tracked back to you, how do your followers know your messages are authentic? If you signed your messages with a private key, for example, then the first people to have your new signed messages would be immediately suspect and traced back to you.
This leads me back to how OBL was portrayed before he was found: if not dead, he was said to be incapacitated by the constant threat against him. Only after his final defeat was his image as a acting leader revived. I have to wonder if there isn't an element of propaganda here.

Unless this lawsuit is successful, there is nothing stupid about helping the Chinese do this, from a business perspective.
The streaming will be from an on-board library, an important caveat not mentioned in the summary.
Sweet, it's on Netflix Watch Instantly, too.

Supposedly, copper Thunderbolt supplies more power than USB.
That adapter is less expensive, but it's only single-link DVI; it won't drive a high-res monitor.

This book is from 1984. How can the movie have any fresh ideas? I'm having visions of "lawnmower man."

We didn't force them to spend themselves out of existence, that's self-congratulatory claptrap. The truth is, communism just doesn't work very well.

Is it just me, or is youtube not meeting demand on Sunday afternoons and evenings? Or is it comcast?
