I thought they explicitly banned RF devices from being operated on planes for "security reasons"?
Did they also make a whole bunch of changes to the plane or did they actually test to see if it would cause any harm (like the FAA prevented the MythBusters from doing).
I for one can't wait to fall out of the sky because some 12 year old needs to download his pr0n faster, so he brings a yagi on the plane.
I know at my school, all CS majors are required to take Software Engineering I which covers the entire software development life cycle. The problem is there is no emphasis on quality of project, and 100% emphasis on paperwork. My team got a C because some TPS reports were lacking in detail regardless of the fact that ours was the only project that actually achieved the goals.
I for one would much rather acquire songs through alternative means and mail the artist a $1. Yup that's right, I would rather spend an extra penny (as opposed to the $0.99 iTunes songs, and the postage (which will probably be $10.00 for a letter by the end of the year). At least the people who deserve the money will get the money.
Seriously, bands should just set up PayPal addresses for 'donations' (come on, half the sites on the net have them).
Tie a gas can to a rope and just huck it up in to space. It might take a try or 2 to get it that high, but it'll eventually work. And the rope is so we can bring it back so we don't little space. See? Fast, simple, and environmentally friendly. Please send me my $5 million money dollars in small, non-sequential, unmarked bills.
And this is why we use multi-factor authentication. Bruce Schneier has said it many times. We can't rely on one single form of authentication. Fingerprints can be stolen, RFIDs can be faked, passwords cracked...but just becaues one person can do one of those, doesn't mean they can do them all. The more factors you can include, the less likely that a person can steal them all. For instance, do a fingerprint scan and have the person speak a passphrase that changes daily.
So we're supposed to use this version of Windows so that the fat cats over at m$ get richer? How long do you think it would take for the revenue generated by the ads to counter the cost of Windows? Even if it was a year or so, every minute after that and m$ is making money PER MACHINE. Let's see, a few cents an ad * a few ads a minute * 24 hours a day * A BILLION MACHINES =...well carry the 1...a metric f-ton of money.
Here's an idea...include the ads, but let the users keep the money. If m$ developed a program that legitimately coordinated ad's targeted at the users and split the profits with the users, well then maybe some people might bite.
Until geeks understand how non-geeks think, no progress will be made in educating the public.
I highly doubt that the geeks trying to wrap their minds around the brainwashed public's view of this "robber baron" would change much. I think it's about time that we sit all of those sheep down in a auditorium and show them how wrong they really are. They're not going to find out for themselves unless somebody points things out to them. And of course they're going to listen to m$'s lies about open source because there isn't a large company to debunk those claims. Just keep on fighting the good fight, eventually we will prevail.
Just because all of this spam is coming from America, doesn't mean Americans are the spammers. Most of the spam, I would be willing to bet that most of that mail is from stupid Windoze users getting pwned and having their "super-fast", "always on" connections that they don't even know how to use. But take a look at who writes these viruses and stuff, they whould be the ones held accountable for all of this traffic. Also, look at the spamhaus lists or such, how many of them are American? Not many. So before all of you foreigners go on your self-righteous, America bashing campaigns, take a look at the facts and not just some bullshit those dirty, dental hygienically challenged bastards from across the pond are spewing forth.
How long until somebody registers blow.jobs? And do you think that Steve.jobs will have rights to his name?

Why look for such a big jump? C++ has a proven track record and none of the legal ramifications that Java or C# might. Plus it would interface so easily with C files.
The first thing he has to realize is that it doesn't matter what these other kids think. I know it's hard for somebody so young, but the sooner he learns it, the better. The next thing he has to learn is that everybody starts off with some pro's and some con's. He is naturally smarter than the other kids. But there is nothing to say that a little group experience won't completely change his social skills relatively quickly. Perhaps it is the other children that you should be focusing on, not being able to accept him for who he is. His lack of social skills seems to be more of a defense mechanism than anything else. Maybe you should take him out of that group. Teach him a few things about group interactions. And then introduce him to a newly formed group and let him develop with them. It seems to me that groups that form together are alot more accepting than if you try to insert somebody into an already formed group.
All I have to say is that we have a networked vending machine. You telnet into it and tell it to drop a drink in x amount of seconds. Then you simply walk down there and get your nice cold caffeinated beverage. Eventually a robot will bring it to us (not joking about that btw) What will they think of next.

I came to the Rochester Institute of Technology and I've loved every minute of it. They have top notch CS, IT, and SE programs. There are also Computer Engineering and Electrical engineering programs that are highly rated in the US News and World Report. One thing that attracted me the most was a "special interest house", namely Computer Science House. We do things above and beyond what the rest of the school does. When they (students or the institute) need something done, they come to us. It is the biggest incubator for talent around. We have over 400 alumni working everywhere including high ranking jobs at the CIA, NSA, DoD, FedEx, as well as many self-employees. Overall, it is an amazing environment that I would definitely consider checking out. Contact me for more information.
So pretty much what you're saying is that you are a flaming retard with nothing useful to offer. Then why don't you just shut the fsck up and let other people answer. The reason he was asking is that possibly some other people have already done the research and have working models that he could use as an example. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Oh yeah, and you're an ignorant imbecile.
CSS? Didn't somebody try that one already with DVD's? And wasn't it destroyed by some Swedish kid? Just an interesting point about the past repeating itself.
But in all seriousness, does this mean that we could perhaps buy hardware-software? Like an antivirus board? Or an OS chip? Those would probably be harder to pirate. And for the average Joe, harder to install/upgrade. Hello IT community watching out for its own. I have thought that BIOS should be upgraded for a while. There are quite a few things that haven't changed much since the early days of those boxes we all love so much. The next thing I want to see go is that pesky 2 device IDE limit thing, which I hope will dissapear with SATA.
Dislaimer: It's after 2am on a Friday night, and thoughts aren't very coherent for obvious reasions if you are a working college student like myself.
Well the original kernel guys and other contributors did not charge for it, but it seems like SCO had some shady dealings with stealing snippets of code from *nix and *BSD. Maybe the organization representing Linus (I forget the name...free software something or other) should file suit and put the money back into developing better free software, maybe by providing facilities, conferences, servers, etc...
Quoting the paper posted in the original article: "Unless SCO can show that the GPL is a valid form of permission, and that it has never violated that permission's terms, it loses the counterclaim, and should be answerable in damages not only to IBM but to all kernel contributors."
Could this eventually be used to force SCO to pay kernel contributors because SCO was in fact infringing on their GPL'ed code?

You definitely can't tell her "it's how you use it" because you're using it to ask /. how to be not lame...

Maybe they can use Rendezvous to tell how close they come to other lightsabers for more realistic crashing noises at the right time.

I wouldn't know, but being in charge of their Windows technical support staff does.
