I've recently graduated from university with a CS degree. I've had practical work experience developing n-tier systems and I can tell you that a lot of people always confuse these two aspects of systems engineering. In the few documents I've seen (this seems to be another problem, but I'll leave that to another discussion), it is all but common-place to list requirements followed by a blurb on implementation details.
I was fortunate enough, through my instruction, to learn the significant difference between requirements and design and that they need to be seperated. A requirements document should be able to be picked up by anyone and give them the ability to draft a design document for their specific implementation, e.g. coding it in VC++ instead of Java (though language can sometimes be a requirement) or using one sorting algorithm over another.
That comes to mind is that it will probably be vastly cheaper to cool a rackmount specifically than to lower the ambient temperature of an entire room to the point that it has the same effect. However, I'm not entirely sure how well this scales to large server farms and multiple rackmounts.
I think the best option would be to look at having the hardware produce less heat in the first place. This would definitely simplify the rumbling these engineers are engaged in.
I suppose it comes down to contact. If I call you with a proposal and say "pay me", that's one thing. If you come to me with requests and I say "pay me", that's a whole different thing.
Not according to U.S. trademark law.
This has nothing to do with trademark law. They are in fact two seperate beasts. The former is blackmail, the latter is extortion.
Given the difficulty in getting a story posted on the front page, how does this exploit compare, in terms of ease of implementation, to the/. exploit for knocking sites out?
"IBM has a yet unreleased iPod-based software for rescue, restore, and recovery of failed Windows PCs."
So IBM has not unreleased this software. I know that delays are inevitable in development, but actually moving backwards through time. This puts Duke Nukem Forever to shame.
Are they going to get this program on to the computers of people who are swaping files? And exactly how is this program going to remove other third party software without access to the underlying filesystem? What about non-windows users? (That is unless this program acts as some kind of virus and forcibily removes it against the user's wishes)
I get the feeling that the people that are swaping these files aren't going to be very forthcoming or cooperative with the MPAA's wishes.
For MS to open up Access to vulnerabilities? I mean, what gives? They did so well in opening Outlook to vulnerabilities years ago. I hope someone got fired for this blatant slacking off.
Than you must just be unfortunate. I have the exact same player (RD1071A is the model number IIRC, so maybe you have an older model), but I can play normal MP3 files without problem. Have you checked into upgrading the firmware? There may be a fix for older models (if there are any).
This may be true of the smaller providers, but with the larger providers such as Bell and Rogers/Cogeco/Shaw, I have yet to see caps they don't tell us about.
Sympatico limits traffic to 5 Gb/mth I believe, though I'm not a subscriber and I'm only going by word of mouth. Rogers, however, imposes no such limits (If they do, they are extremely large and I have yet to run in to them). I have yet to have my service disconnected, even though I've exceeded 20 Gb/mth download only. I've been a cable user since 1997.
They both clearly advertise their maximum speeds and inform you that you may not always get this, especially during peak hours. I've found that downloading overnight is incredibly fast, usually averaging 300 Kb/s.
What they've been awarded is an addition to a patent they filed for back in 1999, long before Xbox Live existed.
The thing is that a lot of this technology already existed prior to the patent application in PC online gaming. Nintendo has just patented the same thing on a different technology.
Where do we draw the line between classifying a stellar body as a moon or an asteroid? Do we simply base it on the fact that it's a piece of rock orbiting a planet or is there some other defining characteristic?
Ceres, the largest asteroid in our solar system, has a diameter ~950 Km in length, much larger than many of the so-called moons we've discovered.
You brainwashed fools. That actually is George Washington. He's been hiding on Phoebe all this time, waiting for the state of affairs in the United States to hit rock-bottom before making his triumphant return and lifting American society to its pinnacle.
Judging from the clarity of the picture, it looks like he's making his final launch checks;)
Having watched the first three seasons on DVD with commentary enabled, it's quite humourous to note that they purposely screwed with the topography of Springfield in several episodes in order to suit the plot/sadistic nature of the producers.;)
I just started a new position a few weeks ago. Up until recently, we would play Texas Holdem at lunch. I found it was a great opportunity to get to know my colleagues quickly and integrate myself as a memeber of the team.
Unfortunately, it also lead to extended lunch breaks, so the poker I'm disappointed to say, has ended. But the benefits of playing still remain.

If I had mod points, I'd give them all to you!

'grok' is a perfectly good word
I'm sorry. The answer we were looking for was cromulent. 'grok' is a prefectly cromulent word.
Again, cromulent the answer.

That's fine. With the money I'm getting from selling my son, I can easily afford the subscription.

Hopefully not the RIAA; otherwise, I would peg the revenue estimate at around $20.

The transistors have gone from 90 nm to 65 nm. 35 nm is the size of the gates in the transistor.
I submitted this earlier, but was rejected.
Anyway, here is the offical press release from Intel's website.
I think you have your thuggish, monopolistic cartles confused
"Nothing for you to see here. Please move along."
Is it really news that the RIAA is still filling lawsuits against grandmothers and 12 year olds?

from those that modded their's to run Windows/*nix.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or at least turn it to your advantage.
