Yeah, if the pictures are for the right site. I put in my tech company's name, and our logo appeared right next to the first entry. Too bad the first entry was a massage parlor 1500 miles from here!
Some "kinks" sounds like a bit of an understatement.
Wikipedia is an outrageously valuable information source. If China makes the choice to prevent access to that information source, the consequences are theirs to live with. They know this up front.
China is making a huge push to become the next dominant economic force by means of education. This will certainly hobble them to some degree.
"Our search for extraterrestrial intelligence assumes that an alien civilization wishing to make contact with other races would broadcast a signal that is easily detectable and easily distinguishable from natural sources of radio emission."
Does anyone have any idea if there are any projects in which we are transmitting this kind of signal?
Are you saying in the end that you'd rather have no production at all than one that doesn't meet your standards?
I have been a devoted fan of Science Fiction since my parents hooked me on Star Trek some 20+ years ago at the age of 4. In that time of watching and reading, somehow I've managed to read Dune or even see the movie, just because there's a whole lotta scifi out there.
So now, I'm watching the miniseries as my first contact. Granted, I don't know what from the book is missing. My status as a purist is worthless. But as a result of this event, I >will read the book. I will rent the original movie. I'll take them apart and compare them and criticize them and in doing so will become something of a fanatic. (this is how it usually works with me.) I can't believe that I'm alone in this.
From what I've heard, cramming the book into 2 hours was impossible. 6 hours is still going to miss a lot. But for anyone who really wants to get into it, the book is already there. How many others will read the book for the first time just because of this event.
Because if a lot of us vote, we become a target group.
When was the last time you saw CNN say that "Bush is leading among men and gaining among women, but has a consistantly poor showing among the nerd population." Never. Our propensity for apathy is what keeps them from talking about issues that matter to us.
If we aren't going to vote for them or against them, why should they care what we think?
I think the point in this case is that these people took a job for a certain salary with certain expectations. The expectations have been blown away and replaced with higher ones. Any person who is trying to advance a career would want this to happen. The problem is that you want your compensation to advance with your career.
One thing that the hospital needs to consider when moving so many apps to a 24/7 is that it will require a financial investment. Either to pay the support personnel or to pay for recruiters.
Probably they haven't even considered that the best way to spend the money from all viewpoints is to build >Redundancy. Mirror the servers and it can wait until morning and tah-dah! you don't have to piss off your people! If the app is so critical that you have to page a guy 20-30 times a week off hours, then that means that there's 20-30 times a week they can't do their work. A little money and a little effort and your work flow can be seamless.
Of course the way to get them on this is to search for a whole bunch of interrelated items and then not buy any of them. Then see what happens to the prices.
There have to be hundreds of ways to abuse this system. Any other ideas?
I would think that the "Introduction to Networking" chapter is necessary for anyone no matter how advanced they are.
Every book you find (and I've found a lot) has different ways of putting things. Even if you never sit down and read the chapter, you need it to act like a kind of primer to the rest of the book.
If you think you're too high and mighty for the chapter, tear it out. Your loss.
I hate to say this, but Micro$oft has the right idea on the browser thing. To integrate it with the OS that is.
The strength of Linux lies in the concept of One OS -- Thousands of geeks tweaking it. There's no reason the browser couldn't work the same way. Mozilla is as good a choice as any for this.
If you have many choices, you lose the cohesion that made Linux so great in the first place.
Well, for starters, the relative motion between launcher and target should be zero so they should literally have hours to target it. Also, as long as the harpoon doesn't go farther than they expect it to, they won't have to worry about cabling breaking. Second, it's a comet so it's a pretty big target.
Astronauts on a comet, though. Now that's funny. Landing in a hostile environment with no noticable gravity after spending 18 months in space to get there? Well, someone's getting dogged for that idea, but it sure isn't NASA.

I'm willing to bet that it brings more than 300 Million into the economy.
ooh... sorry...

Can that be a bad thing?

Paging is at best a stopgap.
So basically, all you have to do to avoid legal action is say "oh... that's not a device I'm using. It's an algorithm!"
fine... that's a patent I can live with.

Simple. Cars can be taxed. Taxes that can be spent on the space program.
I do a little security auditing in my free time
where else can you find someone who can say this with a straight face? sorry for the offtopic...
The results look about like what I would expect, but it doesn't account for weekend work. I know that I do occasionally work parts of weekends.
Could someone put up a poll for hours/week?
