I've used BeerSmith for several years, and after a little bit of fine-tuning the parameters to match my equipment, I get very accurate water estimates. My last batch was as close as I can measure to 5 gallons in the fermentor, with no adjustment. It even has a 21 day free trial if you want to try it out. I've found it worthwhile.
I agree 100%. The best tests I had in college were the ones that weren't about memorizing. They were about knowing how to apply the material, formulas, ideas, etc. Once you get out of college and get a job, you'll be able to look up whatever you want in a book to help you do your job. But if you don't know what it means or how to apply it, it won't do you any good. Open book, open notes tests do a much better job of testing learning, instead of just testing memorization.
Also, hearing the opposition's arguments, which point out the some of the absurdities of the RIAA's case, doesn't help their "re-education" campaign at all. They'd much rather the public only hear's their side of things.
I sent them some feedback saying I will miss the feature and hoping they'll reconsider. If enough people do the same, maybe they'll decide not to kill it.
To send them feedback, I followed the "contact us" link at the bottom of their homepage, went to "suggestions", and wrote them a quick, but polite, note about how I will miss this feature.
It's not a home theater system. It is a whole bunch of devices that can all be fed by a server, that might be found throughout one's house. The point is to demo an expensive-for-what-you-get intel home server.
Why are they trying to put this in the Human Interface Device part of USB when it isn't for a human interface? I think having this functionality would be great, but I'm curious why it's proposed to be in HID.
Actually, this particular item is supposed to be kept a secret. These propellers are/were put onto the nuclear missile submarines, and they're designed to make as little noise as possible, so that the missile subs are undetectable, and thus in the event of nuclear war, the enemy is unable to stop our "deterent". So because of this, I'm sure the navy would rather not give out the secret of how to build an undetectable missile sub, because then the enemy (whoever that currently is) may be able to use the same tricks against us (an unstoppable "deterent").
That being said, I also think that Google doesn't have to play ball with these guys if they don't want to, but it might hurt them in the long run.
Actually, it shouldn't hurt their stock price in the long run at all. Quarterly guidance is only useful for investors who trade in the very short term. They want to know what is going to happen during this quarter before the quarter ends and results are released. But in the end, no matter what guidance they gave, their earnings at the end of the quarter will be what they'll be, and the stock price will change accordingly. For long-term investors, quarterly guidance isn't really useful at all, unless they're about to sell. I mean, if you hold a stock for 10 years, do you really care what may happen during the next 3 months?
I don't usually set out to bash windows, but the windows virtual memory subsystem is as dumb as a brick.
At work I am blessed to have 1GB of ram, so I don't ever need to use any virtual memory. What I find really interesting is that windows is noticably more responsive when I turn off virtual memory entirely. Even though I'm never running out of memory, windows was always swapping things out that I needed soon when I had virtual memory enabled. And I'm talking about when I had 2/3 of my memory unused still (at least by applications, the disk cache could have potentially been using the rest). Just turning off virtual memory altogether made things much much more responsive/faster for me.
My first thought is to buy a low-power FM transmitter if you want to send the same audio (synchronized) to different locations. I can't think of any easy way to do this using 802.11, and actually keep it completely in sync (instead of having 1 room be 1/2 second ahead of another room).
While I agree for the most part with what you're saying, I don't think the dns system qualifies as p2p. At least not any more than the www does. DNS requests work by disecting the hostname in question piece by piece. For example, www.slashdot.org. I dns query for this by joe user would start by querying the dns server (which is just a cache mainly) of their isp. This dns server would in turn query one of the root name servers (or whoever owns.org) for the dns server that controls slashdot.org. The isp dns server would then query the dns server that controls slashdot.org, and ask it if it knows the ip address for www.slashdot.org. Slashdot can either answer with an ip address or refer it to yet another dns server.
This chain of events does not really seem at all like a p2p app. Sorry.
My brother's SSID is "TheLady", and it is broadcast in his suburban, residential neighborhood (although it is locked down with wpa as well). Something feels kind of good about logging in to "TheLady"....
Actually, I'm of the opinion that identity theft is a more important issue than spam. Don't get me wrong, I think spam is a big issue, but spam (usually) doesn't mess up a person's life completely, whereas identity theft can really leave someone in a world of hurt. But either way, since this guy was guilty of both, I'm glad to see he got some jail time.
Often with "regular" insurance companies, the insurance company itself gets insurance in case something catstrophic happens and it can't handle all the claims. In fact, I think it might be required by law for some things (but I'm not very sure about that). So if this company is backed by someone with really big bucks, that would be sufficient.
The only reason I would ever go near Lotus Notes is if my employer forced me to use it. Unfortunately, this is the case for me. But as an open source programmer, if Lotus Notes were open source, I wouldn't want to waste my time on that piece of junk. I'd rather work on something else that doesn't drive me crazy.
Then again, if I could modify the version I use at work (since I do have to use it), and still have it network-compatible with the servers at work, that might be nice to be able to do. But my bet would be that few people not in a position similar to mine would ever want to work on it.
But who are we kidding. I doubt it will ever be opened up.
Because hopefully it will bring attention to how important a voter audited paper trail is. Hopefully this will gain widespread attention, so that before a more important election (say a national congress seat or presidential election) the people who administer elections will get it right.
Because of things like this, I always gave radio shack and many other companies false information (the cases when I felt there was no benefit to me by giving them my info). Sometimes when I told the clerk at radio shack that I didn't want to identify myself, he actually told me to make something up and give it to him so he could put it into the computer and not get in trouble with his boss. I think that this has helped me at least a little bit in avoiding sales calls and junk mail.
They need to enlarge them so that the blobs are still visible and identifiable to them in a low-res compressed format that might be circulating around the internet. If the blobs were small, they could be completely lost during the compression.

Would it kill the editors/submitters to put a link to the original source in the story? http://www.waterloolabs.com/
Their PSU is inadequate for their card. High end graphics cards need a lot of voltage on the 12v rail.
No, they need exactly 12 volts on the 12 volt rail. However, they may need a lot of current.

But that would eliminate 99% of all potential employers. Makes finding a job hard, if you refuse to work for idiots.

Hey, don't underestimate Lucas. It could be worse. Much worse. Way worse. Worse than you or I can even imagine.

If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is :(
