William "Red" Whittaker, the Red Team leader, minimized whatever disappointment he felt at the finish, noting the close links between Carnegie Mellon and the Stanford leaders -- former CMU professor Sebastian Thrun and a former doctorate student of Dr. Whittaker, Michael Montemerlo.
"You take off those blue shirts," Dr. Whittaker said, referring to the Stanford Racing Team color, "and they're Carnegie Mellon."
I do have to disagree with a comment by the parent: "...some people think it was coz of too much competition and bad blood..." I never perceived this and computer science at CMU is remarkably sparse in bad blood compared to other universities.
I view this as a 1-2-3 sweep for Carnegie Mellon fans. The Stanford team is led by Sebastian Thrun - who until recently was a professor at Carnegie Mellon.
It's that simple. If you wake up every morning and think "wow, I'm pumped up to get to work because I love the stuff I do" then you'll always be happy. It doesn't matter if you're writing software or doing landscaping, and it doesn't matter how much money you make at it.
I cannot emphasize this enough. I could easily be working in a slightly different line of work and make a lot more money. Hell, I'd probably work fewer hours too. Instead, I choose to work where I do and do what I do because I can't wait to see what's going to happen next and am totally geeked out about the work we do. Not only that, but the overwhelming majority of the people who work with me feel the same way - from the top management down to the support staff.
About the time I was entering my senior year of college there was an article about how a large percentage of young professionals had switched jobs within the first couple years (can't remember exact numbers). The gist of the article was that a lot of them had chosen the highest paying job right out of the gate, hadn't given the non-compensation issues enough consideration, and were now burned out on their jobs.
Given the cleanliness of the floor, I'm guessing his dad (or someone else) actually mops the floor once in a while. It seems a bit risky to leave the Mini on a cardboard box so openly exposed - much less all the wires on the floor.
I get the impression he'll be back at work doing water damage repair sometime in the near future.
But the real thing is: Your kid(s) will be into whatever you're into.
You can redirect this a bit. For example, if a young child sees you at the computer and wants to get involved, you can set up a beater machine for them to play with right next to you.
Assuming you can handle the repetitive sounds from Sesame Street flash games, this allows you to directly monitor what they are doing and also make them feel like they are doing what your doing. Don't forget to lock down the machine for good measure.
This is a lot better than your kid modding you down on/.
Hopefully the next release will incorporate a preview - a few seconds to help those of us who would otherwise have no idea what these videos may be.
They are music videos. You should know what they are already: a bunch of musicians prancing/grimacing/pouting while the camera quickly pans and zooms. Depending on the class of music, attractive people as eye candy is the norm. Some classes of music also include dark lighting and spooky imagery. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the video is designed to make the music seem better and more commercially appealing.
Not any more than liability for say antilock brakes or airbags. These things don't have to be perfect to be useful.
A rudimentary collision avoidance system is already being sold on Cadillacs. A radar-sensing microcontroller can reduce the throttle or apply brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of you.
Close but not quite. Adaptive (aka Intelligent) Cruise Control has limited braking authority - often no more than a third. This is explicitly due to the fear of litigation and enforces the OEMs argument that the driver is always the responsible party. For similar reasons, ACC is almost always sold as a "Convenience" system rather than a safety one.
If you do the math there are some really nasty crossover cases where ACC could theoretically increase the risk of an accident. These mainly entail the system not breaking hard enough from the very beginning, thus reducing the available time to brake at maximum.
As funny as the parent is trying to be, this is actually one of the primary methods of communication for the deaf nowadays. This became very apparent when Danger released the Hiptop (aka T-Mobile Sidekick) with the ability to keep an IM session open pretty much constantly. The cheap data-only plan from T-Mobile helped too. There are also internet relay options that interface with IM and at least one video relay service that works with video enabled AIM/iChat.
The deaf and hard of hearing circles I move in are pretty much oral (lipread, speak, hearing aids and cochlear implants, etc) so I can't help much on the ASL front. However, I should emphasize that ASL is not English so be prepared for unfamiliar syntax and spatial information. For example, the distance from the plane of the face has a lot of time information. Also, don't confuse the signs for breakfast and bitch. Other easy swaps are hungry/horny and lunch/lesbian. In short, be ready to embarrass yourself.
Some providers want the same/same type of power cable across their product lines. For example, I can buy two different chargers for my phone - one from the handset company and one from the service provider. The bricks are identical but the plugs are different.
Part of this is the branding or design philosophy of the service provider. In my case, they got it right. Their connector is much easier to use than the one the handset company sells.
Turn on closed captioning for every TV in the house. Koskinen, et al (1986) had some good results with this. It wasn't dramatic, but there were some small improvements.

The Buffalo unit the OP was asking about has giga ethernet. The NSLU2 does not. The Netgear SC101 also lacks giga. For me, this is a major issue.

I wonder what percentage of us thought roughly the same thing upon reading this summary. Probably a good metric of whether you belong here.

You need a giant Lite-Brite. Here is an example.
Build a matrix showing servers vs services and have an intern run around changing the Greens to Reds in real time.

Ok, I was tempted to make a pr0n joke about this

Go check out VoiceOver. It is part of Tiger, and therefore, free with the OS.
outfit a nice, cheap fleet vehicle type van
an park it under a bridge, down by the river

It has yet to be decided where the new company's headquarters will reside.

Will apple ever upgarde the name to mac OS 11?
Yes, but it will really still be 10 but the packaging will make certain people think it is a bit louder.

A drill, a fish, and a knife.
During graduation at my school (engineering) it was tradition to cheer for the most obscure thesis title. The ChemE's always got the loudest cheers...
