What's your point? We could spend the money in other ways?
The Apollo program was nothing more than a pissing match. We tossed 13 years we dumped $145B (in 2008 $). That's $11B a year, or $8B more than we're spending now.
Imagine if we spent $600B PER YEAR on finding alternative energy. Imagine if we spent $600B in one year on NASA. We'd be at Mars within 5 years. We slapsticked the Moon mission together in, what now looks like record time.
Universal health care would cost an estimate $70B. $70. For ~1/10th of what we spend blowing people up we could give every man woman and child in America full health care.
In perspective, IPv6 is 5Ã--10^28 addresses for every man womand and child alive. 70kg human has around 7*10^27 atoms in their body. Or about 7 IP addresses per atom.
Each 1.020144 * 10^-14 sq meter of Earth could have an IP address.
It's 252 addresses for every known sun in the observable sky.
Not making any 640k statements, but damn that's a lot of addresses.
Dozens? Ha, Engineering books MAY have gotten used once before they were 'out of date'.
You're better off just keeping your used books. (Advice I wish I didn't listen to). Because the books are laid out in the exact way you learned it. The few books I did keep I can open my books nearly straight to the page of the topic I'm interested in.
Who says you have to touch the screen? OS X (10.6) and my MacBook Pro are an amazing blend of this technology.
I have 1, 2, 3 and 4 finger gestures right on my track pad. Switch applications, show the desktop, Expose, launch, rotate, zoom, scroll. Everything is rather intuitive.
The only thing is that it took me about 1 week to come from a standard button/trackpad concept to one large button and the surface feeling is a bit... different.
Quite a few states have emissions testing every year or every other year. Make them get a sticker that also has the mileage. The next year, you figure out the difference. Pay the tax. Odometer fails it's the same as if ODB readiness fails.
How often are these RFID checkpoints going to fail? Devices fall off cars, etc.
Let me guess, there's a GPS tracking company in someones district.
What I really want to see next is libxgrid so that I can use my debian/windows boxes as Xgrid nodes.
My university had around 20 computer labs, some were packed, but some were completely empty. I understand that it'd use more energy, but if you could turn those into a cheap 'super computer' and loan/rent out time to groups on campus.
Irony deals with opposites; it has nothing to do with coincidence. If two baseball players from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his fatherâ(TM)s it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence. Irony is "a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result." For instance:
* If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony.
* If a Kurd, after surviving bloody battle with Saddam Husseinâ(TM)s army and a long, difficult escape through the mountains, is crushed and killed by a parachute drop of humanitarian aid, that, my friend, is irony writ large.
* Darryl Stingley, the pro football player, was paralyzed after a brutal hit by Jack Tatum. Now Darryl Stingleyâ(TM)s son plays football, and if the son should become paralyzed while playing, it will not be ironic. It will be coincidental. If Darryl Stingleyâ(TM)s son paralyzes someone else, that will be closer to ironic. If he paralyzes Jack Tatumâ(TM)s son that will be precisely ironic. - The late and great, George Carlin.
If I tell you "I'm recording this conversation" and you continue to talk to me, I have implied consent to continue recording the conversation.
If I use a beep, and you continue talking, I have implied that you have been notified this is being recorded and you have consented for it to continue doing so.
You mean Target Mode, which Apple has had since the days of SCSI? However it does only work over Firewire.
You boot up your laptop and hold the "T" button. Mac Screen goes to a pretty screen saver of a Firewire logo. The machine it's attached to doesn't know any different and just sees an HFS+ formatted disk.
Doing it 'live' I could see a problem because you'd have 2 machines fighting over trying to write to a disk, so you'd need some sort of 'host' server to control writing. More or less you could accomplish the same thing (not over USB) just exporting / to NFS.
I guess I really wasn't into linux until the last 3-4 years, but hasn't OS X done this since the start? And I think my XP machine at work tries to use Firewire as a network adapter.
Seriously? These are usually freshmen or sophomores in some club (for resume building) that are hyper outgoing and love showing off their brand new school. In addition they're trained to know quite a bit about everything. I bet they couldn't even tell you what some of the graduate students were working on either.
If you want an answer, find the school's IT department or LUG and ask them. I bet that my tour guide wouldn't be able to tell you that our CS department hosts a Linux Mirror for quite a few projects or that Debian was started by a student, doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
Unfortunately, the way I'm reading it there's no way NOT to do it. The writing section is all on computers, then you get a choice of a computer or bubbles for the ABCD part.
I don't see how I'm supposed to take a timed writing test at 10 wpm.
I'm running into problems with Dvorak now. I've NEVER had problems. I self taught my self Dvorak in 30 days in 7th grade (after already taking Keyboarding in QWERTY and being able to do a decent speed). I added 25 WPM and things just felt more natural.
Now I want to take the GRE. I e-mailed them "QWERTY ONLY". So I e-mailed them back and asked if it was for a 'medical condition' would they like to be sued or just let me use another keyboard layout. I'm still waiting for that reply. (I have some friendly doctors who would be glad to diagnose 'carpal tunnel gingivits' or something). 4 years of HS, 5 years of college, 3 years in the work force and the only time I have a problem with an 'alternative layout' is the GRE test for graduate school.
Seriously. Teach kids there are alternatives. Teach one or the other, let kids choose which one and leave it be.
These days the HARDEST time I have are non-custom boot disks (or ones I forget to change the layout on). Hell FreeDOS has a keyb program and Dvorak layout.
If you didn't get your rebate, you're doing it wrong. I have NEVER not gotten a rebate. There have been a few that didn't come through right so I had to call or resend copies.
Keep copies of everything. Set an alarm on Google calendar for when the rebate should be back. Call the number or now days check the website to see where yours is.
If you feel like that's too much work for $50, that's your decision.

$636B. More than the sum of ALL OTHER COUNTRIES combined.
This is like walking around with $600 in your pocket and giving a bum on the street $3.
Inert. Gold doesn't like reacting with stuff. Maybe latinum is reactive with... stuff.
What part of 'nothing lethal' did you miss?
Just a poison that makes them sick, I'd consider syrup of ipecac a poison.
Pick something poisonous but tasteless. Nothing lethal.
Make sandwich with substance.
Sit and wait.
Boobs. No really. Find a ton of pictures of chicks that they posted and regretted.
Put under it: "Do you want this to be your personal data." On the next slide: "Once it's on the internet. It'll never be off the internet."
Maybe separate presentations based on gender/sexual orientation.
1) Everyone will be captivated.
2) It'll make the point rather clear.

Go fuck yourself.

If I tell you "I'm recording this conversation" and you continue to talk to me, I have implied consent to continue recording the conversation.
If I use a beep, and you continue talking, I have implied that you have been notified this is being recorded and you have consented for it to continue doing so.
In most states, a routine beep also constitutes 'consent' if both parties can hear it. Just set up a sound on a loop to make a beep every 60 seconds.
I don't think you have to even acknowledge that you heard it.
"Did you just hear that beep?"
"What beep, anyway, did you ever do [illegal action]?"

You boot up your laptop and hold the "T" button. Mac Screen goes to a pretty screen saver of a Firewire logo. The machine it's attached to doesn't know any different and just sees an HFS+ formatted disk.
Target Disk Mode
Doing it 'live' I could see a problem because you'd have 2 machines fighting over trying to write to a disk, so you'd need some sort of 'host' server to control writing. More or less you could accomplish the same thing (not over USB) just exporting / to NFS.

What took so long, honest question.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
One of the best calls in /. history.

Exactly, I plan on teaching my daughter to be like Ellen in Hard Candy.
That'll teach 'em.
So what Apple is charging $29.99 for in Snow Leopard (and people still complain it's a "Service Pack"), Windows users get to pay full price?
