Do you even know how much Microsoft pays for entry level software engineers? I am not going to name numbers but believe me, the pay is among the top 5% in the industry - more than competitive with Googles or the IBMs. Another fact you want to consider is the fact that the State of Wasington does not have any state income tax on personal income.
I was logged in in (I think) #mp3 on efnet or something from a.edu address. I was msged by one of the ops who basically asked me if I wanted in on the network in exchange for using the univ. bandwidth (presumably to use a dorm comp as a file dump). It can be just that easy.
Nah, what I am really looking to do is to have a satellite receiver for the GPS signals and an IC which will triangulate the coordinates and an LCD to display the values. I will write the software of course as required. Is it possible to break up this way?
I am a starving student and all these GPS receivers seem out of reach (even the cheapest seems to be over 150$). Is it tough to build one on your own? Anyone with relevant experience? Any pointers would be appreciated.
Think about it - in order to interface a fax machine to a radio-telephone, you have to develop the interface between the fax machine and the radio telephone so that the tones and such from the telephone match the signals that the fax machine expects. Now this by itself is not difficult, but --- it costs money (and the application is so limited that volume manufacturing to drive down costs is not a factor).
Now, I agree that the carrier does not matter - it is the protocol that does the trick. However you are now in the real world. How do you expect your smoke signals/drum beats to get through on a January night with 100mph+ winds and temperatures of -50F on top of a friggin mountain?? Does not seem to clever now does it - the only means possible then are some sort of wireless radio based telephony like you mentioned. You could argue that a cheap alternative to using a fax machine would be someone (for example) just to read the message over the radio telephone. Fine, but then you lose the entire point of the technology, which is to get message across as they were meant to be read.
No - see, a fax would require physical phone lines between the villages (doing which presumably is expensive) while the internet thingee could be done via satellite which is comparatively cheaper, at least when compared to satellite telephony.
And thats the rub see.. phone lines are difficult to lay down (and satellite telephony is prohibitively expensive) while satellite *internet* is relatively inexpensive.
FUD. No country in the world will allow people to just stroll jauntily in like they are visiting Mom. Do you think it is any different for the US? Try getting a visa to the US telling the consular officer that you want to emigrate and see just how fast you are laughed out of the office. You need to show a purpose to move to any country - and emigration is just not good enough for any country.
The H1B work cvisa is just that - a work visa. You *need* to have a *job* before the *employer* applies for a H1B on your behalf. Learn how the system works before digging up crap on the Net.
Hey, check this out (eng-chinese-eng):
Invites, to invite, to invite, is may understand for all loves, can the people fold the sentence to submit a piece of writing for publication babelfish "from 0N to translate". It is good is the strange word or the phrase, but is an overall article, it is fair wrong. Or, can invest it as babelfish
UF (Florida) has a really good setup. The access control is a function of your university login (every student/employee/faculty member has an account with the university), so you just bring in whatever laptop, and shove in your wireless card and you are good to go.
No, Chinese to English yields gibberish. I know the reason for the error message coming as it is, but I was wondering about the reason for the part where the babelfish translation automagically pops up the article.
Go to babelfish, and paste in the URL where you get the error message (its here) . Choose Japanese to English and hit translate. Presto, you get the article (complete with pics even). Is this some kind of sinister tie up between upgradeware and altavista to draw traffic to them? Food for thought. And as an aside, I would like to know why that is happening, because I am unable to figure it out.
all of which are not open source / free.
Why in particular should the products be free or even open source? You seem to be looking for the cheapest way out. I think what you should be looking for is an _alternative_ to Outlook (that runs on Linux), not necessarily something that undercuts it. It is not like you are going to go in and modify the source after all (if you were, you would probably be contributing to the projects right now instead of posting this:) ).
Maybe because its felt that someone who is not elected through an electoral college/whatever is perhaps a bit more impartial especially when you have multiple parties in the reprentative body? And therefore the said parties would be unable to exercise undue influence on the President. Makes sense no?
And this shows that he is smart how? Having a pilot's license is a measure of intelligence. ROFL. So did Mohammed Ata, and I am sure that he is not exactly classified as an Einstein. Dr. Kalam speaks at least four languages (and I am probably understanting it a fair bit - Tamil, Hindi, English, and yes Urdu - he is a _Muslim_. What does that say about tolerance/diversity?) You think speaking Spanish is hard? I have picked up the language in two months, its so similar to English. Try doing that with any two of the languages I just mentioned above.
Getting a degree from Yale (or Harvard, whatever and with a C average to boot) is *definitely* not always a measure of intelligence. Getting into an Ivy league school only requires money and influence. Let me quote
He [Kalam] is the Vice President of Astronautical Society of India, Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, and an Honorary Fellow of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers...... (edited for brevity)
As regard's America's president -- I really think they need a reformer who is willing to have the courage to come up with concrete solutions to the problems created by the US and other countries rather than someone who wakes up in the morning and decided it would be fun to invade another country to improve his popularity ratings (and a "terror dial" to scare gullible Americans. Orange and everyone runs to hide under the kichten table and store duct tape. He He. What a riot). This country is so blind to news from outside. As you might have guessed by now, I am from India and when I see that something called __World__ news tonight has as lead story something about fighting in Israel and all other stories items like how some guy was arrested in Texas someplace for smoking pot or whatever, I realize how important world news really is to this country. And this even after "everything changed" after.................... drumroll..........

I suppose I'd have a similar opinion of human morality / nature if I lived in a nation which tolerates systematic human degradation as India does.
Sequence = 1,2,3,4,90
Mean = 20, median = 3
So only 1 number (20%) of the set is above the mean. Get the picture? "Mean" stands for average, which can be skewed by outliers as shown in the above example. Median is what you are looking for if you want to measure the middle point.

Robots have these things called sensors. Amazingly, they appear to work better than human perception and in all weather too!

How the hell did this get modded +5. Wow, the moderators are in a racist mood today - all WASPs lurking?
I raised a very valid point about how babelfish was exhibiting strange behaviour. That is censorship.

UK-based MessageLabs said it had trapped 75,000 copies of the worm on Thursday
In a cage?
I dont know if you noticed that the people concerned are faculty members working in network security....

not bad for a 16? 17? year old sophmore at high school. Quite impressive.
where do you suppose the MP3's will be coming from if all the CDs have copy protection?
