They grafted the implants directly into the bone and fused the skin around them. When are we going to see this technology come to human prosthetics? If I lose my arm in a car accident, I don't want a fake arm attached to my stump with a suction cup, I want a universal mount embedded in what is left of my arm bones! I want to be able to adapt the attachments for whatever job I need (hand, grinder, chainsaw, soldering iron) using a quick release mechanism.
I installed Deep Freeze on my parent's computer years ago after they proved themselves unable to handle the responsibility of a computer. It turned out to be a godsend and took much of the burden off of both of us. They no longer fear damaging their computer with their ignorance - they are one reboot away from a fresh machine, and I no longer fear their phone calls.
Deep freeze is extra handy in that it doesn't stop them from using their computer; it just resets it back to "factory" condition each time they reboot. All the windows functionality remains and it stays out of the way. If they really need to make a permanent change, they just have to reboot in defrost mode.
I spent years futilely trying to teach my parents to safely use a computer. But since I couldn't take the knife away from them, I could only make sure it wasn't sharp enough to hurt anybody.
I work in federal government and what they tell me is simple. It any line of code was written on a government machine or on government time, the whole system is owned by the government. Period.
I don't know the fine details about the law, but they make it clear enough at work: keep your personal projects personal and your government projects government. Don't mix work and play.
What about the cost to merchants when they have to replace every bill reader on all their vending machines, laundry card recharge stations, subway ticket machines, etc?
These readers are everywhere.
All this talk about EMP guns and escalating hostilities makes no sense. Just pull it off the wall one night and snip one of the speaker wires. Put it back and he'll never know. If he is too old to hear the thing himself, he is too old to hear if it stops working!
I did a stint in that hellhole. Montgomery Alabama is hell on earth. Period. The only reason the adjusted income for tech jobs there is so high is due to the incredibly depressed state of the city. Also, the Air Force is the only real consumer of tech there, so you have almost no choice but to work for the military. Take that for what its worth to you. The government bureaucracy is hip deep and most systems are antiquated at best.
Avoid it like the plague.
Interesting idea, but the big companies would just spin off all their business units into separate companies, owned by a conglomerate who's mission statement is "to own many smaller companies."
From a historical perspective this event was so much more then just another tech demo. This was watching the world of computing turn upside-down in a matter of minutes and the people in the audiance knew it. Although not often attributed, the 1984 release of the Macintosh was the genesis that brought about practicaly all of modern computing. This was big. Jobs knew it, you could see it on his face. Call me sentimental but, that was the face of a man who knew he had just changed the world.
From my experience assisting in my high school's CS classes, VB6 provides the fastest turnaround for budding programmers. Nothing is more frustrating to a student than spending hours working on a program only to get text to spit out to the console. VB6 makes GUIs a snap, and gives the kids a feeling of accomplishment that keeps them interested.
I have had the opportunity to work on some of the AF's critical applications. They all run on Sunfires running Solaris. Windows is for the desktop, unix is for the servers. The only exceptions I've seen are the Exchange servers and the domain controllers. The whole reason for going with MS for the desktops, as explained to me, is that the cost of supporting and training the unwashed masses how to use *nix shifts the TCO so far that windows turns out cheeper. Also, the AF can bulk buy PCs at rock bottom prices with windows preloaded, which turns out to be cheeper than getting custom machines with linux.
Here is a link to where the AF is going on the server end:

I've got to agree with this one. Contrary to what many programmers think, communications skills in programming are equally important, if not more important, than coding skills. Being able to speak the language means knowing the words for things. Especially things like data structures and algorithms.
Now, to get me a job:
Import java.util.*; LinkedList ll = new LinkedList(); ll.add(item);
As a side note, this snippet illustrates why Java should not be heavily relied upon for learning purposes. The libraries do everything for you so you never have to learn how things like linked lists and such work.

One half to three quarters canteen par hour, not to exceed twelve canteens per day!

Use the service to get two pizza places to call each other.
I do agree, but selling lusers expensive bandaids can be quite lucrative. I charge $90 an hour to clean out spyware and they keep coming back!

Quick! Somebody call Dick Chaney!
The bigger question is, are sharks watter soluable?
You suck!
It is very possible to use this code to release a worm. I can do this right now if I wanted to.

I'm gonna find out the hard way that I'm not a pussy if they don't start treating us software people better.
SAMIR
That's right.
MICHAEL
They don't understand. I could come up with a program that could rip that place off big time...big time.
PETER
Yeah.
A proof more than a formula:
We all know that girls require time and money, so
Girls = Time x Money
We also know that time is money, so
Time = Money
Therefore,
Girls = Money x Money = Money ^ 2
Furthermore, it is commonly known that money is the root of all evil, so
Money = sqrt(Evil)
Therefore,
Girls = (sqrt(Evil))^2 = Evil
Hence,
Girls = Evil
But two and two do equal five for sufficiently large values of 2.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Sounds like a perfect use for a tool my friend told me about. It's from a little know company called Claria Hope this helps.
