Did anybody look up what his cell looks like? He's being held in a suite of 3 cells, each 8 square meters. That's 25' x 25' for my "non-metric" friends. He has exercise equipment, a bedroom, and a "study room" with a computer. He has a TV and can request books and videos to watch. He is in "solitary", but this does not mean he is deprived of human contact. It means he does not interact with other prisoners. He is, however, visited far more often than the average prisoner by prison staff and clergy. He is by no means alone, he has no more or less choice over whom he interacts with than the average prisoner, and it can be argued that he is safer and has nicer company from the prison staff and clergy than he would from fellow prisoners. His life is not and never will be in danger. This is highly generous for somebody who murdered 77 other human beings.
Wouldn't a fairly simple fix be to make it so that consecutive rows in the RAM do not correspond to consecutive memory addresses? The virtual memory manager is already serving up the physical RAM in 4k pages. Right now the rows within the 4k page are consecutive, but any given block of RAM bigger than 4k may actually be comprised of pages from anywhere in the physical RAM. If you reordered the rows within the 4k page at a hardware level it would be difficult to know which rows were actually consecutive. Potentially use a different order for each page. If done on a hardware level this would add a tiny bit of overhead, but not that much. Basically you would need a mapping table that could translate a 12 bit value into some other 12 bit value.
Climate change is partially cyclical and partially influenced by human action. How much is which? It's unknown. We've only been observing it for 50 years or less. We've already made changes. Cleaner cars, factories, etc. How much has this helped? We don't know yet. Don't we need the answers on this to judge our progress?
I am unclear if that is being offered as an option. If I cannot take my laptop with me on a business trip, there is no point in doing the trip. I am a Software Engineer and my laptop is the primary tool with which I do my job. If I do not have it, I cannot work. Furthermore, in many cases the contents of my laptop are far more valuable than the device itself. As far as I am concerned, the device is disposable, the data is what is valuable. Yes, I keep a backup, but there is always that last little bit I have just done that is not in the backup yet....
Pull them out of he PC's. Network boot the PC's. Build a SAN with the removed drives... Possible, but hardly pratical. Weigh value of the drives vs value of the time it takes to do this and you will find it WAY easier to just but a 1TB SATA drive for $399.
In Florida at least, non-competes are completely NON-ENFORCEABLE. Oh, don't get me wrong, if you sign one, you will get sued, but you will win. Heck, even if you don't sign one, you may get sued if you move jobs to a competitor of your employer, but you will win. It's just a scare tactic to keep ignorant people from even trying.
I had Mr. Mocherman. We didn't exactly ASK before putting the roach in. But it was his big ole boot that squished the roach. I think the experiment became verboten after we did it because I think he fully expected the roach to die and was shocked that it didn't.
His exact words were "Can't let that one breed. {squish}"
That's a different animal entirely. It's "Cerenkov radiation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerenkov_radiation . The speed of light in a vacuum is the absolute hard maximum speed most particles can travel at. (ok, just below it for anything with mass). But the LOCAL speed of light varies by medium. Speed of light through air is a bit slower. Speed of light through water is a LOT slower. The blue glow comes when a particle is emited near the speed of light through air and hits the water. It momentarily exceeds the speed of light through water (allowed since it is not exceeding the speed of light in a vacuum), but has to slow down. Slowing down ditches energy which must go somwhere, a blue photon in this case.
Gamma irradiator. Basically, big lead tube with a gamma source inside. You can't get it out. You can't expose the source to the outside world. There is a lead "airlock". You put the roach inside. Irradiate. Release. I went to a High School that had a gamma irradiator. We DID this experiment. Exposed roach to greater than 1000, but less than 10000 roentgens. We weren't real precise. But the roach lived long enough for us to decide we better squish it before it reproduced.
Oh, yes, "stuff doesn't glow when you expose it to radiation". Not 100% true. Some stuff DOES. Namely most crystals. One of the most impressive examples is Sodium Chloride. Yep, table salt. Irradiate it overnight. The gamma rays knock the electrons up to a higher energy level. But since salt has a very tight crystaline structure, they don't snap back down immediatly. Remove from irradiator, and over the course of the next 24 hours, it glows pretty brightly (bright as a glow stick) in a funky red-orange light (spectra of sodium). Eventually all the electrons snap back down to their ground state and it quits glowing. Not radioactive at any point while this is going on. The only thing it emits is red-orange photons which are not "radiation" by most people's standards. (Well it is, but ALL light is...)
Good point. Microsoft is certainly NOT involved or responsible. Best Buy probably did not DIRECT it's employees to do this. The employees are probably most responsible, but Best Buy bears some responsibility for failing to control it's employees.
The deal between AT&T and Apple sucks, but is legal, because it is disclosed ahead of time. The deal between MS and Best Buy is illegal because it was not disclosed.
Debunked? There are numerous drug that cause no chemical or physiological addiction, but are psychologically addictive merely because they are pleasant. This will cause PURE pleasure with no drug like side effect. It will CERTAINLY be psychologically addictive and is EXACTLY what Niven had in mind when he described the Tasp.
What would happen if I were to send 13 million e-mails each containing a song as an attachment? Or, perhaps, to send a single e-mail with the entire human genome as an attachment? What if I were to download "Harvey the Wonder Hamster" by "Wierd Al" (35 seconds) 30,000 times? I'd be getting ripped off compared to somebody who chose to download the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony (28 and a half minutes) 30,000 times.
Just a thought.
By the time you see the reds and oranges in the sky on a sunset, the sun is actually already just below the horizon. Different wavelengths (colors) or light bend differently through the atmosphere. The blues and greens don't bend as much as the reds and oranges. So when the sun is just under the horizon, the sky turns orange and red because only those wavelengths get through. In this case you actually are seeing the reflection of the sky rather than the inherent color of the water itself.

I'm unclear how this relates to the topic of the article.
Is Mr. Sander's endorsement of Mrs. Clinton relevant to the topic of US workers being replaced by H1B workers? If so, how?
I fail to understand how this is relevant to H1B visas?
What's this got to do with H1B?
Try posting something relevant to the topic.
Not relevant to the topic....

Easy. Design device so that gestures are trainable. I will train every device I own the same way....

Right, until you give HAL an order that brings the 1st and 2nd laws into conflict and drive him insane....
