is every new release of a distribution newsworthy? are *any* new releases newsworthy at this point?/. would do better to have a 'latest release news box' and leave it at that.
i have a 4 drive raid 10 using a 3ware 7500 pci raid card. Its been great. Ditto what was put in by artrh1, but add that the rebuild on a 10 is superior to a 5 or 53.
they also seek to do as much economic damage as possible too.. why do you think oil refineries are always mentioned now as likely targets? in days gone by financial info. systems and trading systems were all on dedicated private networks, that is not the case anymore. More and more has been pushed onto the net to save $$$. Sadly it also increases vulnerabilities.
Well I just checked my alma matter, Lehigh, to see whats required there these days. They appear to have merged a lot of the CS program with the CSE dept., probably a good thing. But even the BA program requires two classes requiring assembly. Even Lafayette College, the nearby arts and crafts school has courses that delve into assembly. So, being the totally un-PC person that I am, is the 'they don't teach assembly anymore':
a) urban legend b) dependent on the 'quality' of school you attend?'
Is it right for a discredited man to have his pHD removed?
It most certainly is. If it has been proven that he's fudging scientific data, then he's clearly not helping to progress the knowledge of mankind, and is indeed hindering progress. False answers to justify hypothesis is never right. Anyone who plagerizes material or makes up their own science has no right to be called a doctor of philosophy. It's about using your knowledge, not about bragging rights for having been in school for n years.
So if he had been, lets say.. 42.. having a history of interesting but not spectacular results.. and then decided his career was going nowhere and did what this guy did by using erroneous data and analysis (knowingly or not).. woudl you still stip him of his PhD?
The fact that he did this reflects nothing of his knowledge or competence in the subject area... it reflects upon his (likely) poor character and excessive personal ambitions, with perhaps some stress from corporate powers above thrown in.
Unless you can prove that he falsified research that led to his advanced degrees, or in some other way obtained them under false pretense, you should not be revoking a degree.
Admonish him for what he did. Tells us about your new program to make sure your future PhD's are well grounded in ethics. But don't revisit a history that was not tarnished and declare it void because of events years later.
hmm.. lets see.. sun, who makes hardware and software gets a few billion from Billy G, who only makes software. Weeks later Sun proclaims 'hardware will be free, but not software'.
Seems to me more likely the other way around for all but the most complex (and of limited user based) applications given the open source movement.
6 Schmeiser never purchased Roundup Ready Canola nor did he obtain a licence to plant it. Yet, in 1998, tests revealed that 95 to 98 percent of his 1,000 acres of canola crop was made up of Roundup Ready plants. The origin of the plants is unclear. They may have been derived from Roundup Ready seed that blew onto or near Schmeiser's land, and was then collected from plants that survived after Schmeiser sprayed Roundup herbicide around the power poles and in the ditches along the roadway bordering four of his fields. The fact that these plants survived the spraying indicated that they contained the patented gene and cell. The trial judge found that "none of the suggested sources [proposed by Schmeiser] could reasonably explain the concentration or extent of Roundup Ready canola of a commercial quality" ultimately present in Schmeiser's crop (Mosanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser (2001), 202 F.T.R. 78, at para. 118).

sadly they seem unable to (for the most part) evaluate the +/- of each technology. The bottom line is the need for a secure and reliable source(s) of energy.
I also have a hard time showing any respect for the really far left eco nuts who still drive SUV's, have PC's, TV's, microwaves, etc. If you are going to cry about the destruction &/or soiling of the environment to produce and operate this kind of stuff then you *best* have given it all up yourself first.
and I wonder how deeply involved the CWA got? There are many vested interests in doing 'business as usual', especially in places like New York state.

how about you get a clue?
more energy to produce glass less energy to produce Aluminum
you can transport significantly more products packaged in plastic than glass.
Recycling is not free and many times the end result is more costly in $ and resources used.

"None may scale to the level of solar enery from space, but nevertheless, may be enough. Some of these are Fuel cell, wind energy, solar cells, tidal enery, fission, hybrid cars, better home insulation and so on. This can easily sustain for several decades or perhaps few centuries.

And I wonder what the increased cost will be to transport said glass containers? More or less petrol than went into the plastic bottles? And which process uses more energy, making a glass or plastic bottle? I really don't know, but I think people do tend to over simplify.
> come from an age that moved far slower than ours does
>Exactly!!! It took so much time and money to come up with some of the major advances in yester-years that they needed the patent restriction timing to help get back some of the cost they stuck into R&D.
One can argue the inverse.. it takes so little time now for
something to be reverse engineered and then commoditized
that the patent affords the inventor(and investors) the
opportunity to recoup r&d and costs to bring to market
and then to make some money on the item before its margin
goes to 0.
and I hardly meant it as a troll either.. I've always been a big space supporter since growing up as a kid with the moon missions. But I took a look at that picture (blown up I might add) and it just.. well.. perhaps its the lens they use just makes the scale not look right, and it does rendered in spots as you have said.
I see very few 'bargains'. Granted I might be looking at only a narrow subset of ebay (pc related stuff), but it seems to me most of this stuff is going near or even sometimes over what identical product from a reputable online or retail outlet would charge.
which will be first to market? Haven't we all been waiting on this SP2 for about 2 years now? I guess its hard to do a SP when you have to release patches every 2 weeks.. perhaps in fact it will be really SP4 when its released!
weapons like this would be used to take out hardened bunkers and deep underground weapon stores. They would be much more favorable than the micro-nukes that are on drawing boards.
Ill preface this with fact that my coding days were long ago, but I don't see how making smaller more modular libraries would really increase time or cost in any significant way? Ie, library XYZ is broken down into most used, not often used, and rarely used.
