My president (and Fox News) has taught me that it's more important that Americans "feel" secure than actually be secure. He just doesn't get that. You gotta listen to your gut on these things. He's too much of a thinker. Probably socialist, too.
All terms are negotiable. Figure out what you could live with, take a position of strength and ask for more than they appear to be willing to give (e.g. you'll do the work for more money than they are offering, will dual-license the work and won't sign a non-compete). Let them know its a negotiation, but that you cannot do it under the terms they proposed.
Functors and generators will do the same thing for you in a more mainstream languages like C++ and Python. And they'll be a hell of a lot more understandable to your average still-wet-behind-the-ears programmer. And you can certainly write code in those languages to do lazy evaluation.
Now, I will grant you that, in general, one can do it more concisely in Haskell than one could in C++ and even Python. But these languages are more well rounded, IMO, than Haskell.
Seems the thing to do it to have caps on low-latency and high-throughput QoS and no caps (or high caps) on bulk traffic with the acknowledgement that they will be dropped or de-prioritized.
The real problem here is that Comcast is doing this against one protocol, and is not basing it on IP TOS (or DS field). And this was being done on the sly, without informing its customers of the change.
The proper way to handle this is to move customers from a non-tiered plan to a tiered plan by creating an incentive for customers to move to the plan. Of course that's not the way a U.S. corporate exec thinks about customers and business any more -- especially not one in the U.S. telecom industry.
If an isotope has a lifetime on par with Uranium, then it will have a natural abundance on par with Uranium
Only if it is created in supernovae at the same rate as Uranium. If mother nature has as hard a time making the stuff as we do, there's probably not much around.
you cant run a compressor an air motor without lubrication and you will get atomization of that lubrication and it will exit the vehicle in the exhaust air.
How much? I'm a sport diver and I've never tasted lubricant in the compressed air.
problem is we dont know the health aspects of aspiration of atomized synthetic oils as they really have not done tests on that yet.
If your concerns are founded, it wouldn't be hard to find test subjects. You'll find a reasonably sized population of professional divers have been "sucking tailpipes" on which to test.
You admit that it's somewhat OT, but did you also know it's mostly BS?
Two competing concepts for cooling nuclear submarine reactors were available, cooling by pressurized water and by liquid metal. Rickover wanted to try both of them, so he arranged with Westinghouse in 1949 to investigate the pressurized water approach, and with General Electric in 1950 to pursue a liquid sodium approach.
Rickover's faith in nuclear submarines was vindicated in January 1955, when the USS Nautilus reported that it was underway entirely with nuclear power. The Nautilus employed the pressurized water method of reactor cooling. The Navy's second nuclear submarine, USS Seawolf, was powered by a reactor using liquid sodium.
On a more serious note, 3% of Moroccos land mass could provide power for ALL of Western Europe? Can I ask what possible reason there could be beyond corruption and greed for this NOT to be used? Somehow I think that this kind of technology, no matter the initial cost, would be an absolute boon and can see no reason why it shouldn't be adopted.
Well, according to the article it is being used and will be used more in the future. The issue is that it takes time, money and a lot of land (3% of Morocco may seem small (446,300 km^2 *.03 = 13389 km^2), but it's larger than some European countries (think countries that start with the letter "L") and about 1/3 of the size of the Netherlands.
It may take Hamilton Sundstrand and others quite a few years to ramp up production to the point where they can consider converting even 100 km^2 of land over to solar energy production.
...now, contrary to what conspiracy theorists accuse us of, we don't sell stories. And it quite honestly hurts me when people accuse us of it. But it's scary to know that some folks in the company would be quite happy to do it, completely selling out the integrity of the site to get a bonus.
Proposed solution: hire sales/marketing guys with the following in their employment contract. "We will never sell stories on Slashdot. We have a zero-tolerance policy and any suggestion, recommendation or attempt to sell a story on Slashdot will result in immediate termination."
Top 100 you say? The government would then need to be in the business of stockpiling currently illegal drugs and accurately tracking their prices. One assumes the current fiction is preferred for some reason.
An even bigger problem with this idea (one that isn't political) is that our economy is no longer primarily based on goods, but on services.
Oh, horsepucky! You don't *need* to indent for namespace, class and method -- those are just conventions that some idiot savant dreamed up when his savant powers were on sabbatical. If it causes you pain, then do not do it. What do those levels of indentation tell you, the programmer??? That your method belongs in a class? Hello -- write me a Java program where that is not the case!
I do serious coding in numerous languages -- including Python which enforces indentation. And 80 columns is enough except for the pathalogical legacy C/C++ code which in some cases can go to 10+ levels of indentation (or should if the programmer had not decided to discontinue indenting his or her code once the indentation level got too uncomfortable) and is in serious need of refactoring.
Slashdot Mirror
For a foreign body to enter the system, it would have to pass through the Oort cloud and that would be highly unlikely.
Highly unlikely? Care to explain your reasoning here? How dense do you think this theorized cloud of comets is?

Georgia was never represented by any of the stripes.
Back to middle school for you.

Bullpucky! Atheism refers to the disbelief in Odin. I say we burn those heretics.
This seem like a logical approach.

Seems a bit derogatory to call the BSD, OpenSolaris and Darwin users "smelly hippies". Not all of them are like that.
Given what's happening to SCO lately, how valid is the license that Sun purchased to allow them to release the source code to Solaris?

Is 'subverting the democratic process' illegal in the US?
A fair response would be to have another hearing with the folks that couldn't get in, and allow Comcast one paralegal in the meeting.

What can I say? Moon Unit had a profound impact on my psyche as a teenager. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that's funny.
Well, I can tell you that SELinux (enforcing, targeted) on Fedora 8 was no help in preventing this exploit. Does "strict" make a difference?

These scientists have just discovered the belly button of the universe.
I am going to guess that your experience with C++ is Linux/GCC or Windows/MSVC++.
Try doing C++ on a Unix platform where GCC is not the default/native compiler and tell me what you think of the language then.
Your response is misleading at best. That table shows only sucrose (table sugar) consumption. Americans get fully 2/3rds of their sugar from high-fructose corn syrup. Reference: http://www.card.iastate.edu/iowa_ag_review/winter_ 05/article5.aspx
One needs to be clear whether on is using the term "sugar" to mean "any monosaccharide or disaccharide" or specifically "sucrose" (table sugar).

Do you hold deists that espouse there religion as vociferously in the same regard?
