Dude, you're full of crap. Kerberos is the easiest part.
LDAP is actually the hardest part so far. We just got support for GSS-SPNEGO (Window's preferred SASL authentication mechanism) this week (thanks to some awesome work by Volker). Then there's a bunch of AD-only controls and syntaxes that we're just begining to understand.
True is, we can currently support an AD domain controller but it's buggy as all hell (mostly due to LDAP problems). That's not even getting into connectionless LDAP (see my latest presentation at last week's CIFS conference).

American Sign Language also includes hundreds of gestures that express single words and simple sentences, but most require two hands. He said the device usually is accurate, though the precision declines with complicated movements; for example, words that start with the same hand movement or orientation.
Though not an expert on signlanguage by any means, I do remember learning about ASL as a grammatically complete language, i.e. that it was not merely a series of words but used some forms of particles and has a full grammar (strict syntax and temporal expressions) Also, as far as I recall, this slight variation in the complexity of the signing accounts for such important distinctions as time and space as well as who the actor was or whom it concerned. These kinds of kinks would need to be ironed out significantly if emergency information is to be conveyed accurately.
However, the AcceleGlove is not a new technology that would simply be useful for deaf people in emergency situations. The ability to communicate through hand gestures could also be used to teach ASL, along with being modified for use in virtual reality, military settings, and in different forms of sign language.
These ideas are interesting (and better conveyed in the GWU arcile!)
Maybe I'm just reluctant to believe someone has created a translator for a language when he has merely translated a small set of words. You don't learn to speak (or sign) a language by learning words. As in any language its either inflection or word order that lends meaning (among other things)- how should the meaning of a signed phrase be any more clear just by knowing what the individual words mean...
When in St. Louis, also don't miss the Botanical Gardens in the Shaw neighborhood or Forest Park with the Art Museum, Zoo, and Missouri Historical Museum. Also, Forest Park was home to the World's Fair- you still see many pavillions, like the Spanish pavillion and the Muny. Also is beautiful, especially in Fall. Don't miss Washington University... home of wu-ftp!! (geekiness courtesy of my boyfriend) Also, the theater district Grandell Square is neat culturally- Fabulous Fox Theater, Black Rep theater, Powell Symphony Hall. Downtown is the Sheldon Concert Hall, Old Cathedral, St. Louis Basillica on Lindell Blvd(gorgeous Mosaics) and some semi-important architecture The Central West End has some treasures and coffee places as does South Grand and Tower Grove neighborhood. If you have time, also check out Grant's Farm or head out to St. Charles to see where Lewis and Clark launched on the Missouri River. I've heard there are tours that follow the trip of the two explorers through that area... but it would be kinda cold in winter. there's plenty to do in and around st. louis... strangely enough. depends on your level and area of interest in american history and such.
Also in New Mexico
1)Los Alamos National Laboratory- very very neat. When you check out the museum- look for any elderly folks and ask them, they almost all lived there and worked there. Forest fires did damage alot out there sadly.
2)Roswell- tackiest tourist trap, lives on the whole Alien thingy... still, not too wretched if you are passing through.
3)Carlsbad Caverns- beautiful caverns... pretty famous;-)
4)Bandolier National Park- beautiful are, great hiking, and some to learn about native civilisations
5)Mesa Verde/ Four Corners- Phenomenal camping/hiking on the mesa's. Incredible views... Cliff dwellings. Unbelievable dwellings. Lots of Reservations- Sleeping Ute Mountain, etc. Also, Shiprock (ok, so our large rocks in the middle of the desert aren't quite as cool) isn't too far away. Four Corners is your usual "stand in all four states at once" and actually on a reservation.
6)Santa Fe- nice historic, artsy, southwest town. The artist district is neat. St John's College has a campus out there too. Camel Rock (and acompanying Casino)
The climate in the southwest is nice, even in the winter months- mild.
Depending on your habits (or those you wish to acquire) I would suggest a nice solid desktop for your dorm/room/apartment/shoebox/dungeon. If you are so inclined this can then support you in your gaming/music/browsing/hacking/compiling/creating/ destroying past-times and frankly, when it comes to writing papers or any other such late night (come on, we all procrastinate everyonce in a while) activities you'll want to be as comfortable as possible. IMHO that 20 pager is less painful with a big screen and comfortable keyboard and room for many many cups of tea.
As for taking notes that is your preference solely. Yes, there are teachers that are intolerant of laptops/PDAs/slab o granite and chisle, but another problem maybe that you cannot always plug it in (face it, as of now battery life is less than stellar). Of course, the temptation is always great, especially when the lecture is not. In an ideal world every student goes home and types out all notes- but in reality sometimes a good 5 subject notebook does the trick too (just don't loose it)
It's been helpful to have an old, used laptop (though more lightweight would be desireable) to have for sunny days outside or studysessions in the library, or any change of location for that matter.
As to the organizer- that is preference, again. You may like having a digital datebook and so on, then again, the old pen and paper organizers these days work just fine, too.
More important investment though- hot water pot and/or coffeemachine!
Sorry, just too unfocused to post properly. The above mentioned link is the press releas from St. Louis University, where Dr. Minteer and her colleagues have done some of the work.
That sure teaches our alcohol taskforce! "But ociffer, I was just charging my cell phone!"
Cheerio!
"In the eyes of some members of Congress, it would have a way of turning thousands of criminals into good citizens overnight," he said.
well, sure...because we all know that the college-educated part of society is really our biggest source of crime in the US.
Why are they not breaking their pretty little heads over the real problems in society (unemployment, public education, social security, underinsurance or no insurance) and pouring money into that?
And since when is deterrence working? Carter seems to think that we should handle this issue just like any crime: (in thick texas drawl) "well folks, its our duty to protect and reform society"--and lets also execute (wahoo deathrow) rediculous numbers of criminals....
"I'm not out to get the kids, I'm out to get their attention."
and further, I feel quite offended just being called a kid. College Students are not children, we don't need this kind of treatment...especially not if we are supposedly being prepared to become full productive members of society (and then again, many of us already are!) If your going to punish, then please not for the sake of us "kids". please, no discrimination for deterrence sake.
Living with an education and english major, a math pre-med major, and a physical therapy major (self being a philosophy, german, spanish triple major) grades are not even a subject to be discussed. Once upon a time we were all petty high school honors kids who liked our pretty extra points and picture perfect GPAs (or something like that) Okay- so only one of us is now an honors student (guess who!)...but still- the transcript still plays this enigmatic role of importance in determining our future
How can you compare a class like "information technology for the modern classroom" (translation: how to write three reasons for being a teacher in MS Word and e-mailing it to the professor) to something like kineseology, chaos theory, or epistemic logic? I'd rather not...
I would like to compare a former roomate's (education major) and my bookcase: where she had "i love you like crazycakes" i have the collected works of plato [relative usefulness aside]
It is a shame that we consider undergraduate education programs as actual degree programs. I wouldn't dare compare an upperlevel engineering course with an uppelevel ed course ("the special learner") Interestingly enough, in order to teach in the state of Texas (for example) it suffices to have an undergraduate degree, participate in the one year training regime, and pass a few state exams- how does this compare to 4 years of college...obviously the School of Education has never heard of optimizing the programme...
Sure, grades are inflated- just like standarized test scores...and what else? the quality of education for the most part is declining...we gotta show something to make us look like we are actually progressing as a society!
Sure, general ed or core required course can tamper or inflate an individuals grades...but I don't see how grades in the distinct schools or majors can be compared...
Grades have become yet another tick on a record that is supposed to distinguish you from every other humble little human being on the planet..
Le gasp! Someday we are going to have to depend on personal presentation and actual skill to distinguish ourselves and no piece of paper with numbers to qualify us over any other candidate!
Most interestingly enough though with this TMS procedure is the opportunity to simulate brain injury non-invasively. For the most part, studies particularly in neuroscience, for example neuro-linguistics, occur on post-trauma patients or split-brain patients. In these cases, injuries hardly ever are restricted to one area and problems or symptoms are compounded.
From a research perspective thus, this may just offer new opportunities to understand how our brain works- defective so well as healthy functions.
