In terms of software engineering, IE has proved to be quite the extensible piece of software. Look at how many people are out there developing "addons" with little trouble;)
Im using a two year old linksys card - which i realize may not have the best reception. However, a prof in another of my classes in the room below the aforementiod one has the exact same poblem with a mac...
Hey! RIT made it (98)... what are they thinking? I can barely access WIFI when sitting in the far side of a classroom (ie by exterior wall). This is in the BRAND NEW College of computing. BAH! RIT - welcome to the world of not really understanding technology:) (At least faculty/staff - ask _ANY_ student!)
I am currently attending RIT for a Masters in Comp Sci. Last May I recieved a Bacholers in Software Engineering from RIT. For the past several years, RIT has been trying to deal with it's rettention problem... right now, the "grand idea" is to reduce the acdemic program. This would involve reducing the maximum number of co-ops and reduce total number of required credit hours.
This is a horrible idea... and this article is proof of that. Why would I want to hire someone who has less expereince coming out of college... when I could hire someone overseas for less who knows at least as much. Its a damn shame. Most classes I took were vauable - at least the ones within my major. Its pretty damn obvious that they wont cut math/science/lib arts... so the only thing that will suffer is the core courses. what a shame.
Pitty on ol al simone and the administration... its just a bad Idea. If they want to solve the retition issue, they outta look at revoking the dry-campus policy.
There (www.there.com) is already kinda doing this. You can use your credit card to buy ThereBucks at like $1.00 == ~$T1030.00. In addition to this you can create products - clothing, cars ect that you can sell and make more ThereBucks.
With ThereBucks you can buy transportation things (buggys, hoverboards) and all sorts of clothing - Some of which is created by There and a lot is created by There users. Theres even an auction system.
Something in the articles caught me. In InformationWeek, the "trojan" is said to be linux based. Internet Week said it was Unix. However, the news.com story claims no knowledge about it's afflicted platforms, then links to a Network Assoc. page - claiming it to be windows based?
CS Professors wrote a book about Plan 9. Ive played with the vmware image. Its some cool stuff - though a bit weird in terms of the UI metaphores - but then agian _everything_ is a file.
Dont get me wrong, reading LoTR was great. It was difficult in the sense that it just drags on, mainly in detail. Yea I wish the movies had more to it (ie Tom Bombadill(sp?)) - but I also realize that it might get too long. The Enders seriers was something that kept me wanting to read constantly, hence why I could finish the book in 2 days. It had enough detail. It also doesnt have the backdrop of history that LoTR has, and alludes to all the time.
As for the Ender series, I enjoyed them all. The first book stands on it's own. The next three (chronological by publish date) are sequels, and you should definently read them in order. The last two (Ender's Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon) are directly along/after Ender's Game. Read them at the end of everything (I did) or after the first. I personaly think that Hegemon was the weakest - but undoubtly leaves room for an another sequel.
I think the whole series is good. However, Enders Game is the best. I got it for xmas a few years back and read it in one weekend. I then purchased the others and read them all in about 1.5 months. I think the story is very interesting. It is also a realtivly easy book to read - as opposed to say LoTR. I think there are sample chapters on Orson Scott Card's website.
I want one like the guy I saw use at a MS Product launch last week for W2k3 and VS 2k3. He copied a stub for calling a web service incompletely (missing a }) and pasted it onto the design - NOT code view.
He then "compiled" and showed us the end result - which was already open.
I saw it saturday nite. It was deffinetly worth the $7.50. I thought the story was uniquly good... not quite as odd as last year's AI. I left feeling as though about 70% of that movie could be true... except for the pre-cogs and jetpacks.
Technicly I think it was a decent portaial of a not too distant future. The adds, while not really a new update of what is current, were technicly advance... (Other than being told that i need a nice cold Guniess, Id stay at home tho). The displays were impressive, but really not that impossible... fighter jets use simlar tech. As for the gesture system, that was just down right cool. Anyone know were I can get one?
There were a few weak technical points. Why did they have to sneakernet the data between the two machines?... I think it might they wanted the big display unnetworked, a way to make sure it was 100% secure. Secondly, when Tom is imprisoned, why is his eye still active. I mean in 50 years, when someone gets thrown in jail, I'd hope they would imeadatly have no access to secure area? Everything seemed to be integrated into one Database that id'd ppl by their eyes. Of corse maybe they use Passport...;)
All in all I though it was great. The cars were cool, albiet a bit far fetched. But it was done well. I enjoyed it.
Yea, so for a class project we took the kvm and (Java VM for embeded devices), and turned it into a pipelined architecture. It was very educational, but the practicality is lacking... You at least need a 4 proc machine to be useful, as it was a simple 4-stage. But the speed was soo lacking.
It was worthwile experience, though I do wish java was reg based.;).... as it was only a learning experince no big deal. By the end i could've written my java in assembly;)
I would think that the fleece would reduce heat transfer. The noise is a big plus, but isn't there some way to get quiter without losing heat transer. In our apartment all the computers run hot. And some reach dangerous levels periodicly. I woyuld also think that the felt or fleece could also blaok airflow if your not careful also hurting heat transfer.
Yea... But Microsoft wants a 1way street. They would be content in letting everyone think their products are perfect. Im sorry, but what Culp wants is Information Anarchy. Hell, while we're at it, why dont we delcare capitalism dead in the software industry and elect Gates as the leader of the Communist Software Industry (Microsoft already is a Communistic party...).
Next, there will be the iKGB (perhaps kgb.net services), whose responsibility is to find people who find problems with software, and silence them. In a communistic society, we must not have and disagreement.
CSI will take special care with those of us who use Opent Source. Obviously, since anyone can read it, anyone can find the expoilts. (Ignoring the fact that anyone could fix). They'll propbably be treated as traitors, and be given an etch-a-skecth.
Meanwhile, in china, they will start finding the bugs themsevles. Since no one else is complaing and telling the CSI to fix them, they will easily be able to infect all computers run by the CSI...
Slashdot Mirror
When will Slashdot install sensors to detect duplicate news?
How 'bout Agnus, Denise and Paula. :)
What about the OSS buisness model? Is this taken into account:
;)
1) Idea
2) ??
3) Profit
just wondering
Yea ... in 20 years, jackson will re-release it and add tom babdill. then he'll edit the sequene between frodo and greedo ....
;)
damn!
Yea, and with XForms you'll still be coding for more than one browser ....
... maybe
:)
;)
* Mozilla suports it
* Opera
* Safari will only sorta work
* IE - MS will invent it's own puesdo-standard
yea - now i can write sixty different types of xforms instead of JS and DOM
Of course, i could be wrong - i have had many a jaded experiences
Awesome, imagine how many PDP-11 one can emulate to operate a therac-25. How many people one could kill!
;)
amazing

That and they are so easy to install.
Theres only a couple of reasonable ideas:
;) .. after that im not sure ;)
* Drink - often
* Threaten to set building on fire - Milton Style
* Destroy the internet
Im using a two year old linksys card - which i realize may not have the best reception. However, a prof in another of my classes in the room below the aforementiod one has the exact same poblem with a mac ...

I wish i had one, so I could use it to get my diploma - sorry - diploma folder, from graduation. Then I could still be sleeping. Or drinking ;)

Now if that would work. Damn that'd be sweet.
So I dl'd the huge tiff. Awesomeness. But I cant quite see that Galaxy...

;(
Long, Long ago, far, far away
Rifed with Intergaltic Civil War.
Sorry, I mean Gentrification.
I guess 25 Million (?) light years just isnt enough
Well ... the amiga has had a trash can at least as long as the mac.
... BAH! who'd want to look like OSX ... does it do tricks for ya? ;)
<drunk>I belive the the amiga has had it since 1945, but the developers were afraid of the radical idae, so they hid it until 1985.</drunk>
So if this is just a image thing
(I may be from Ohio, rember nothing exiting happens there)

OK, so when is slashdot gonna get sued for using a transparent logo ala OSX, not to mention you used the word apple. OMG!
;-)
