And if you are a US, State, or local government employee, Panther is $64.50. Not too shaby.
If you don't know how to access this, go to the on-line Apple Store, and change the location in the option menu indicated by "Visit other Apple stores around the world" and select US Government.
To be relatively brief. Teaching ability is not a major criterion at universities that emphasize research. Why you might ask? Overhead which is an approximately 50-100% additional fee tacked on to the cost of a research proposal. This fee is kept by the university to fund the support functions to the grantee.
Let's say Newton got a grant for $200K with an additional $133K overhead at a rate of 67%; this is about the norm. Hmmm, $133K is not too shaby.
Finally, "weirdo scientific" profs are acceptable by university admins. Politically charged profs cause them more problems.
Oh goodie! I would recommend multiple ball-point pen that has at least four colors (black, red, blue, and green). A couple of Number two pencils with tip covers, and of course this.
I just want to point out a few things. What you see on CSPAN is only part of the testimony to Congress. Witnesses usually submit a written version in advance of their appearance. Congressional staffers read these reports and help their bosses come up with suitable questions to ask. In some instances, the Congressman's staff may not be fully qualified to assess the pure technical nature of the subject matter.
Sub-Committees also have their own staff who are usually more experienced and have a better understanding of the subject matter.
BTW, in case you don't remember, President Clinton held a one day summit meeting at the White House on the subject of cyber-security. It included PHB's from MCI, Cisco, AOL, etc... and one long-haired fellow named Mudge.
Rusty Russell: The joys of working in an office: Chris Yeoh told me someone quoted me in their sig, on slashdot. Well obviously, I went and checked it out, and the guy had misspelled my name.
From this sample size of one, I determined that everyone who quotes me in their sig is mentally deficient.
And don't about his speech to the Council of Conservative Citizens, which is an extreme racist organization. Barr claimed that he didn't realize that they were racists. I guess he didn't pay attention that another speaker was David Duke.
Sleazy fund raising.
Saying that he knew about procecuting crime (when going after Clinton) as he was a former DA, but forgetting to mention that he never did so in court when he was a DA.
Yup, you're correct about the Wiccans. Actually, he is anti-religious freedom. The Wiccans were declared to be a legit religious group in various court decisions.
Bob Barr was one the sleaziest Reps. For/. to even feature his position makes me want to puke. To me it indicates that the "kiddies" that run this great web-site never paid attention to politics.
Barr was also a former employee of the CIA, IIRC.
I repeat my assertion. Bob Barr is a privacy advocate because he has a lot to hide. He has no standing because most people in political power know this.
Bob Barr, the author of the Defense of Marriage Act has been married three times and has been in court for failing to pay child support.
Bob Barr kept campaigning for public office despite the request of his second wife that he stop because she was recupperating from beast cancer. He lost, soon after dumped her and immediately moved in with another women (his third wife).
Bob Barr, leading the crusade against the adulterous Bill Clinton. Bob Barr, one of the Congressman "outed" out by Larry Flint, as having committed adultery (see above).
Bob Barr, photographed licking whipped cream off the breast of a stripper at a fund-raising event.
Bob Barr, pro-life advocate drove his second wife to and from the clinic where she had an abortion.
IBM brought out their ill-fated RT PC in 1986. IIRC, RT stood for RISC Technology but we called it Real Turkey. They later dropped the PC designation when ppl realized that it was kind of expensive for a PC.
I got to use a RT when I was in grad school (IBM donated a bunch of them to our University).
I cannot understand this because I do not understand chemistry. For instance, I do not know why my chemistry teachers gave me a zero when I said that the formula for water was:
In my youth it was pinball machines. It taught you eye, hand, and *hip* coordination. Only blind, deaf and dumb pinball wizards remain totally motionless. It was always eyes first, hands respond on the flipper button, and then the hips would move in the requisite motion. I say hips, but what I really mean is your butt.
It was a lot of fun taking turns playing pinball with members of the other sex. Especially, if you stood behind them watching their playing motion.
When asked in an interview why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, George Leigh Mallory replied, "Because it's there." These are the true words of those that reach out to do the impossible. These are words that are truly inspiring to the human spirit.
Okay enough with that crap. Mallory died the following year trying to climb Everest.
Nice point about Jobs. Apple went down the tubes after a former Pepsi-Cola exec led a palace revolt against Jobs. Apple didn't recover until Jobs returned.
I have to surmise that he does hire good people. Pixar has a pretty good track record when it comes down to their movies.
While NeXT was a failure, it is interesting to note that the Nextstep OS is the basis for Mac OS X. The goal of making a UNIX based OS the basis for a consumer computer has been something the goal of the linux community.
I've posted this info before and I'll do it again. Furthermore, I do realize that this story is mainly about a European scientific experiment.
The Chief Scientist for Mars Exploration at NASA Headquarters is James Garvin. For those of you who bemoan the lack of jobs/future for CS majors, check out Jim's educational background. A degree is just a piece of paper. Knowledge, curiousity, and intelligence is something entirely different.
BTW, do anyone of you remember the panorama pictures of the Martian surface taken by Viking I? Jim manually classified every rock (yes every sticking rock!) in some of those pictures.
After the development of the atomic bomb, several physicist had a slight attitude adjustment. Ever hear of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist?
Leo Szilard who first conceived the concept of a nuclear chain reaction became a biologist after the war. Szilard, BTW, tried to keep the concept of a chain reaction secret by assigning the patent to the British Admiralty.
Hans Bethe refused Edward Teller request to help in the development of the H-bomb. He later was a leading advocate for non-proliferation, the nuclear test-ban treaty and for stopping all research on atomic bomb design.
Isidor Rabi was against the development of the H-bomb, as was Enrico Fermi. Fermi did do a bit of work on the H-bomb in an attempt to show that it was not feasible.
Jacob Bronowski (mathematician and the force behind the Ascent of Man series) was so appalled by the devastation that he saw at Nagasaki, that he eventually switched to biology.
Scientists (and I suppose to be one) do have ethically concerns that sometime are more important than the so-called scientific spirit.
What is more important is to think that at that time many people obviously thought that there were Martians (from Mars, not wayward packets). Think about that and then ask your grandparents about this.
You: Grandma, did you really believe in Martians? Grandma: Yes! Do you still believe in Santa Claus? You: No. Grandma: Well then kiss your Nintendo Game Cube good-bye.
But I digress.
Back then they had radio. Now we have the internet.
The War of the Worlds is a classic. I'm trying to think of the equivalent internet hoax.

Is this an incommensurable phenomenological hypothesis or the manifestation of the inteligibility of idiomatic individualistic intercommunications?

Now let me tell you about foosball...
I would not want a wife that came with a dowry of cattle or some other form of livestock.
I prefer one that comes with huge tracts of land!
I think NSA got suspicious when they discovered the following comment in the software.
"Help! Help! We're being held prisoner in a Chinese system software factory!"
Good old System 6.

I just realized why your post made me reply to you in another thread. It is your subject line.
This guy is a scientist???
Why would a scientist even raise this issue? What does he know that you might not nor fully comprehend?
This guy is a scientist. You are now questioning this. Nice. Consider the ramifications if politicians adopted this same attitude.
It happened before with serious results.
