I just ask my kids. They and their peers know exactly who the good teachers and bad teachers are. The question is, how do you use that information? In the politically perverse education system it creates unhelpful drama to ask that bad teachers be replaced or that your child be moved to a class with a better teacher.
Although the summary and the article itself seem to take pains not to mention it, a visit to the RADclock homepage (http://www.cubinlab.ee.unimelb.edu.au/radclock/) will tell you that what's actually being offered here is an improved NTP client. No changes to the NTP servers, server software or NTP protocol are required or are proposed. The client improvements are in an improved filter topology (feed forward with quality assessment) and introduction of separate concepts of absolute and difference clocks optimally supporting the different ways that time is used by applications.
It is wrong to assume that price needs to be tied to cost. What determines the price is what your customer is willing pay for it. The question is not why the medical device company charges $18,000 for the device. The question is why are hospitals willing to pay this much.
You are right - you need to remove exactly as much heat as the equipment is generating. The energy savings with this scheme is due to the fact efficiency of chillers is lowest when asked to produce coldest output. Traditional data centers keep the hot parts cold by keeping everything very cold. Efficiency is improved if you can run your chiller at a higher output temperature and compensate for the reduced effectiveness of the warmer air by directing it where it is most needed.
You don't have to accept conventional wisdom. Online coverage maps are available - http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/, http://coverage.t-mobile.com/. Both AT&T and T-Mobile rely on "partners" for rural coverage. From the looks of the maps, they're largely using the same partners. There's no extra charge for these areas on either network.
Another more common example of this issue is the artifacts potentially introduced when an image is resized (resampled) - different resampling algorithms have differing quality.
A potentially intractable aspect of this problem is that there is no reference image supplied - your proposed algorithms have nothing concrete to be scored against so you have no way to objectively pick the best one.
A wast of time from your perspective but historians and archeologists have invested generously and patiently understanding dead languages and stone carvings from thousands of years ago. If they found a shiny disc from 1000 years ago, I think they'd be all over it.
Plain Cat5 has been deprecated and difficult to find these days. Cat5e is what you buy and install.
Both 100 Mb and Gb Ethernet were designed for Cat5. If you have true Cat5 it should work and continue to work.
100 Mb Ethernet does require better cable than 10 Mb Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet uses the same cable as 100 Mb.
It is a common misconception that Gb Ethernet requires higher bandwidth cabling. Gb Ethernet gets its speed by using more wires (all 4 pairs are used), using the wires in both directions simultaneously and through more dense encoding. The carrier signals for both Gb and 100 Mb Ethernet are 125 Mhz.
Advanced digital signal processing in Gb interfaces actually makes them more tolerant of sub-optimal cabling than the less sophisticated 100 Mb.
I do some work for the Mouse. They've been working on this for several years. When I heard about it, the solution was similar to a gatling gun. All shells for a show could be fired from a single piece of equipment mounted on a truck bed. Add space saving to the list of advantages.
Ok, I understand that copyright infringement (civil offense) is legally distinct from theft (criminal offense). Thanks to all you IANAL's for clearing that up for me.
But then you all are taking it further and making and argument that infringement is a lesser infraction (or in the extreme, a non-offense).
Help me again here. I don't see where that pecking order comes from. Is that a legal thing or just a/. thing.
If they download the song, listen 2-3 times, then either stop listening or just delete it, have they really stolen?
I think if you asked for a technical ruling on this the answer would be "Yes, that is stealing."
I think the SlashDot sentiment is that the music industry is being short sighted and alienating it's customers by (attempting) to prosecute them for behavior like this.
In a nutshell the argument would be: making music easily available stimulates demand and sales.
I can say this is true for me. I can't make a music purchase decision based on a 30 second preview. I'll download the whole thing and later buy it legit if it compels me.
I understand this does not hold true for less affluent/less mature consumers, and so I can see why the RIAA has gotten their undies in a bunch.
As a point of interest, the UK already requires govenors on all Lorrys (Trucks). The govenors limit speed to 100km/h (62mph). If the object here is to prevent people from speeding, (as opposed to say, collecting more fines) wouldn't requiring these govenors on private cars be the more direct approach?
I've seen plenty of worthy comments here pointing out that the quality of the audio you hear is determined by the weakest link in the system. Not exactly correct technically speaking (it's a sume of squares thing) but let's go with it.
I'd like to point out that in identifying your weakest link, in addition to the recording and reproduction equipment, you have to consider the recording environment, artistic decisions and listening environment.
The demonstrations of DVD-A and SACD I've expereinced have been quite impressive. I believe the reason for this is that more care is put into production of these disks and the demo playback equipment is top shelf. People expect them to sound better. I believe almost the same expereince is possible with conventional CD.
Most of you bozos listen to music primarily in your car or as background party music or maybe at work with the HVAC rumbling overhead. The listening environment is the limiting factor for anyone not sitting upright in their acoustically treated livingroom somewhere out in the quiet boonies.
And finally, to make music get attention on the radio, much of it is keyed up and deliberately distorted in the mixing and mastering process. I suppose you could say, "I want to hear the music exactly as intended by the artist." Well, I've got news for you, most artitsts listen to music in their cars just like you do.

Someone wearing an iPod is distracted (deafened?) by the music and makes for an easy target. Using an iPod in the city is not street smart.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me. I don't my poor word choice has much bearing on my original point.
I'm thinking a good definition of copyright infringement is sealing of intellectual property. Am I wrong?

1/ Microsoft and @Stake credibility is damaged.
2/ Mucho publicity means, at the very least, more people will read Dan's paper.
3/ Dan Geer will find a fulfilling new gig. Presumably his new employer will have a stomach for his outspoken nature.
Hardly a catastrophe or injustice.
