Driving around with lawn furniture at night is (slightly) suspicious. It's somethign easy to steal and something people generally don't drive around with at night. Certainly not often people carry aruond a large load.
Ah, so I should be writing to the Department of Commerce? Secretary Evans then? Anyone else there to contact? I suppose I should CC my senators and reps as well.
Fascinating. There are under forty philosophy majors at ECU and just over a hundred CS majors. Three of us are CS doubling philosophy. Then in my Phil of Mind class we have a CS graduate and a former CS major.
I personally see connections to CS in my philosophy classes all the time (Coherentism = PageRank), but I don't know about the others.
But to answer your question, your niche is the same as a simple computer science major's, except you're more promotable because employers tend to like philosophy majors. We can (supposedly) handle critical thinking and such better than most people.
Does it make a difference? I had one teacher who would write examples in Ada, Pascal, C, Scheme, Prolog, COBOL, his own made up language. . .
Occationally there would be notation we had to ask about (for dereferencing and such), but for the most part, programming is programming. So long as you understand the three main paradigms (imperative, functional, and logical), reading simple examples in the language should be trivial.
Here's some pseudocode I wrote earlier this semester:
char **workerargv; foreach $param (@workerargv) {$param = new char* atos(tmpn);}
C, C++, Perl, and some mathematical notation. Why use fake English when fake programming is more concise?
And if Apache were as popular as IIS--wait, hold on a second. ..
(I'll readily admit that popularity is a major factor, but it's pretty clearly not the only factor. I'm tempted to put most of the blame on the skill of the people configuring the programs, actually. So I guess I don't really have a point.)
If they're trying to make me regret registering for the suit, they're doing a damn fine job about it. For less than 10% of what the pricefixing has cost me, I've agreed to drop my case.
What they did is wrong and a settlement is not acceptable. Especially a settlement this miniscule.
To help appease my sin/foolishness, I will send the money to the EFF and will hunt through a few extra trashcans trying to win free iTunes from Pepsi (found eight yesterday). Indie artists open, of course.
Support Script Monkey: "Okay, now click on your Start menu." You: "Okay." [doesn't click anything] Support Script Monkey: "Now click 'Control Pannel'" You: "Okay."

Eventually he'll probably start asking you "what does the nth field say" and you'll have to ask "Which one is that? What's it labeled?" If he says "DNS Server", for example, you'll know how to look that up via Linux and continue the facade.
Of course, I've never tried this, but it would probably work better than your method.
But looking in the article, they get it right: "Middle-earth". They also get it wrong: "Middle Earth". They also get it wrong another way: "Middle-Earth". Three ways of spelling the same thing in a single article. Does anyone know which one the actual game uses?
True, but this doesn't really matter if you read the text of the bill:
`For purposes of section 2319(b) of title 18, the placing of a copyrighted work,
without the authorization of the copyright owner, on a computer network accessible to members of the public who are able to copy the work through such access shall be considered to be the distribution. ..'
(Emphasis mine)
It'd be nice if the Wired article had stated this, of course. I too wondered about whehter I was legally allowed to distribute my own work for a while.:-)
The fact that you've now gone through all three books with no mention of Frodo dying in TTT frightens me. It's obvious you've read the books to know about RotK. Surely you didn't forget the book ending of TTT/beginning of RotK? (I can understand why the movie TTT didn't show that. 10,000 girls would have had heart attacks in the theatre.)
Such attitudes are worrying to a growing number of parents, educators and historians, who fear that computers are speeding the demise of a uniquely American form of expression.
Any non-USAsians want to question this claim? I was under the impression that people in Europe knew cursive too.
Sorry, I took Data Structures in college last year. We didn't cover hash tables, and the term "B-tree" never came up. We did linked lists, binary trees, ordered binary trees, stacks, and heaps.
Wouldn't a molten iron core (rather than solid) mean the magnetic field is stronger? I recall that Jupiter has an extremely strong magnetic field because of the liquid hydrogen core. It seems like a half-decent measurement of Mars' magnetic field should give us a decent idea of what its core is like.
I imagine they calculated the tidal effects mathematically based on the material Mars is made of, the size, and the distance from the sun. Possibly they did it based on measurements of the magnetic field, but that seems unlikely.
Keep in mind that I'm not an expert. I took one atronomy ("football physics") class a year ago and have forgotten most of it.
I believe that for the most part it's simply when the gravity causes the dust cloud to contract forming a planet the momentum turns to heat. smaller planets have solid cores because they've lost all the heat they gained from this.
There is one moon (Europa?) which actually has volcanic activity from the stretching caused by Jupiter's gravity as it revolves around the planet, but no planet can get much energy from tidal foces.
This is interesting, I'll admit, but I've become more concerned with reducing usage than increasing bandwidth. Okay, this may be useful for backbones (and if you want to transmit their database. a TB a day? Wow!) but why are we trading movies over long distances anyway? I don't want a ridgid, heavily-regulated Internet, but it annoys me that we haven't gotten organised well enough to manage local caching of movies and music properly.
I seem to recall that 80%+ of college incoming/outgoing transfers are often music/movies. If these schools could just keep a repository on the campus intranet rather than upping their pipe they and the rest of the Internet would benefit. But it's illegal so they can't. Regardless of whether I agree with the MPAA/RIAA, I can understand their opposing this, but coming up with a way of dealing with this problem should be our first priority, not building a bigger pipe.
AOL, I beleive, is creating a music-sharing type service. If they do it right, their bandwidth costs will help pay for the losses they claim sharing causes. (Must be nice for them, having the largest ISP, cable provider, major labels, and movie producers all in one company.) I guess I should read up on that.
I've never had anyone else put a pop-up on my desktop. I have to run the javascript/ECMAscript that opens the window. I have to install the program to access the website, I have to (implicitely or explicitely) grant it permission to run Javascripts/ECMAscripts, I have to tell the program to visit the website with the script.
You're trying to fine people for writing a script. Sounds like the DMCA to me. (Note: the DMCA is a bad thing.)

I'd change 'wouldn't have to stop doing' to 'wouldn't be ashamed of'. I control how I feel about they was I act, not how others react to it.

Of course, most of them were fixed before the article on The Register was even written.
Dispite a massive number of bad non-indie bands, I've managed to find quite a few good ones. Now we need a way to do the same with indie bands.
