Take a close look. He uses Least Square, but really it looks more exponential, so probably the version will get very close to perfect, but they will NEVER release it
Well, truthfully, Community Colleges are trade schools, so it makes more sense for them to cater to the needs of the local chamber of commerce. 4 year and graduate schools are an entirely different animal, and are supposed to teach skills that relate to the application of theory and the innovation of ideas.
Yup, those smart guys at MIT! Just discovered SURFACE TENSION! Amazing, simply amazing! Why, the boneheads at all the other schools must be beating their heads on the wall in envy!
Honestly though, the Brits do have good ideas about how to punish idiots on the road. For half the stuff in the good ol' USA that get's you a ticket and points on your insurence, the Brits just take your fucking licence away.
If you can't drive like a human, you should be taking the bus.
It saddens me as a developer that you can't even deign to write a P2P add without the assumption that it will be used for sharing copyrighted materials and thus shut down by the RIAA/MPAA.
Unfortunately your argument is full of shit. The idea that such applications "can" be used for legal purposes vs. the reality that this is VERY unlikely, blows huge holes in your fantasy. It's like walking into a liquor store toting a sawed of shotgun, sure you MIGHT be on your way to shoot some skeet, but is that really that likely? NOPE.
People, you need to stop lying to yourselves on this point. YOU know as does the RIAA/MPAA that the reality is you want to download copyrighted stuff for free. Making thin arguments to the contrary only makes you look like an idiot.
How dare you slander the sacred Google? What are you? Some kind of conspiracy nut case? Get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness before the Google Gods de-list your web site and remove any reference to you from the Collective Knowledge Base...
If you like it so much, why do you object to paying for it? Let us assume you are a top notch programmer. Your boss likes your work so much he / she raves and raves and raves. But then he / she says, "gee, I really don't want to pay you to work here... That's OK with YOU, right?"
Oh, and shouting filth at SCO will make them go away? Have ANY effect at all? Well it will have some, in that SCO will chuckle and say to themselves "what a bunch of idiots".
Has anyone noticed some of the rediculous court rulings being passed out these days? SCO might very well prevail on their position in court.
Their tactics are getting more and more desperate, and they are trying to scare the world into believing their claims without presenting any real proof that the claims are valid
Problem is, many companies might just shell out the cash to SCO to be done with the whole thing. They may not like it, but see it as the least cost / hassle way to get on with their business which is not fending off SCO threats, but rather making money for their stockholders.
but American technology and research doesn't stay so advanced by its researchers being daft or uneducated...
Ah yesssss... Good old American technology. My wife's ex perfected (and holds patents) gas chromatography for Beckman Instruments back in the 50's. He is Hungarian. Then there's Linus of Linux fame, a Finn. And my dad, a world class oceanographer and computer scientist, who, like myself, is a Whop. And of course Mir was a Russian toy. That guy Crey? Isn't he Asian? Ah yes, that Russian mathematician Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov, a plebe compared to the pointy heads at MIT! What's the name of that space craft that NASA relies on to get our guys home in an emergency? Soyuze?
Sure, America commercializes technology. But do we originate most of it? Sorry, no....
Well, speaking of Bill Gates, will this database be SQL Server or oracle? MySQL? This being the US Government, it'll probably be SQL Server, web-enabled and ready to hack!
Time in school != quality of education. Europeans including the Russians generally take school a LOT more seriously than us Americans, who generally PARTY for 4 years and then learn the basics of the fry basket.
I submitted this story yesterday, but my karma is still in the shithole from submitting a pro-windoz story. 30 submitted, all rejected. Whatever. BUT....
An eWeek article has the SCO veep telling us they have ROCKET SCIENTISTS working for them. No shit.
From the story: "We have rocket scientists who have applied their spectral recognition and pattern analysis to software, which has yielded amazing results. We have found needles in the Mount Everest-sized haystack"
Almost without question, he obtained the email list while still an employee. Such information is proprietary, and indeed he probably signed some type of NDA when he was hired or quit. Theft of the email list was certainly illegal.
my IP address changes almost every time I go on the net
So does mine, I don't live in an area that has high speed. But your ISP still logs who is using what IP addresses. Don't think that dynamic IP keeps you hidden, friend.

Na, got to go for the acoustic coupler, a fine technology.

Not really when M$ "enterprise" software can run $10,000 and up.
From the second paragraph: "The beta we tested, code-named Taroon..."
And later: "During tests, we were pleased with the feature's usability."
Sounds like they installed it...

What about Al Gore?
Maybe Al Gore evolved out of some vat in some secret lab at DARPA too. That would explain a lot...
Not on YOUR news server. But I sure get it!

How about using the right word? IIRC, you use FLOUR in brownies, not flower?
Well... Back in the day when I made... umm... "brownies", I used a lot of flower, as "shake" just gives ya headachs!

I'll bet you argue with cops when you get a ticket for speeding through school zones because you didn't see any children.

Not really.

They don't use www.tornadodevelopment.com (though they own it).

Baaah! You know very well that real programmers only use Vi.
