Does it really matter? Does the capitalization improve or impede understanding in any way?
English is a fluid language, constantly changing and slightly different everywhere. It has different spelling pronounciation and accents everywhere. Despite the best hopes of the wannabe language police, english has and will continue to change.
Funny that it was posted on slashdot this way, when I'm sure the average slashdot reader/poster/editor laughs about people calling 3 1/2 floppies "hard disks".
The fact that the blurb makes specific mention that it is NOT a disk drive makes it funnier.
Better algorithms and coding practices give the largest contribution to good results. These are a function of the programmer.
The tool is pretty much secondary, as long as an appropriate one is selected. To be honest there are a lot of good programming languages. I personally like python, but I use it because it's easy not because I'm any good at programming.
Yes that is one interpretation, however not the actual point I wished to make.
More appropriate is if they law on writing was to use pen, and to write double spaced with blue ink. That would be 'fair'.
I think handness is similar to many other inheirant traits, that while applicable to people, don't correspond to similar traits in corporations. I think corporations are a set of particular behaviours. Anyway, I'm rambling, and from your post I gather you understand my point, whether you disagree or not.
Do we really need representation of any particular sex/orientation/race/religion properly represented in CS? or even any other field?
Why not let people who are interested and capable choose this career. Not everything has to be a cross section of society as a whole. Maybe CS will be male dominated, hopefully Hooters wait staff will remain female dominated.
As someone who has been involved in a few male dominated areas I've dealt with quotas. My opinion is that the quota girls (those who don't belong in their position either by their own interest or ability) actually hurt the acceptance of women in that field. When most the girls you deal with are not capable of doing their job, you start to assume that the girls probably can't do what you ask, it really hurts acceptance of those that can do their job.
I think this is counter productive. It is a good idea to fight the *ist problems that keep groups out, but unnaturally trying to create balance environments is a bad idea.
Dextre is a very versatile robotic tool. It can work solo, fixed to one of the base points (known as power data grapple fixtures) along the side of the Station or on the Mobile Base System.
From the link you provided. I'd assume it is running solo.
The company may be worth $80 million to the purchaser. But to the current owners it should be worth less, even if part of that value is the freedom to not have to maintain it.
Selling something can be a good idea. Lets say someone offers you $80 million for a company. 1. If you think it is worth more than $80 million, you should not sell it. 2. If you think it is worth less than $80 million you should sell.
Apparently they took option #2. Profitable doesn't automatically mean worth more than the offer price.
Well we know Iran and their weapons of mass interference is causing this problem. There really isn't any proof, but don't worry Bush is getting the CIA to look into it again and find evidence that Iran is lowering your DSL speed.
I got rid of DSL specifically because of pathetic witch doctor techs like you. If the phone can put HF that interferes on the line, PUT A FILTER ON THE LINE.
Who cares, the current task is to raise as much money for google as possible. Success will be raising more this way then a similar typical IPO.
When they sell underpriced shares, the company doesn't make as much as it should. This hurts the company as it doesn't get as much money as it should, and the existing shareholders, as they don't get the maximum value for the new shares they issue.
Who cares what "Wall Street" wants, it is the owners who matter.
Why not just secure the network rather then hacking security as an afterthought?
This is a nice option, it is a good idea to make sure your installation is that little bit 'extra clean'. Don't forget there will still be holes. Roof, floor, ventilation. Then any repaired walls or windows will need this treatment. I know many places would love the opportunity to save a few dollars on the next broken window.
I was having a conversation with a parent a while ago, and they were shocked/disgusted at what their child (~10) was getting into on the internet.
I suggested the analogy of a 'big city', and that they simply shouldn't be left to wander alone. There are many places fun and appropriate for all ages. But despite the best efforts of some there are places you don't want to go.
I really hope these cases get promoted much more so parents msarten up and watch their kids.
Uh why can't IBM assert its patents against linux. The GPL only requires you to distribute the code under the same terms, it doesn't include a mandatory patent license.
I hate Walmart because most of their products are low quality, it is messy and disorganized, and they have a poor selection. If you don't like your job quit.
I don't hate starbucks, but I don't buy their products. They're good, but just overpriced for what you get.
As far as farming is concerned I think it is okay. Most first world countries have crazy subsidies to their farmers. If my tax money goes to pay your bills because you can't survive in the free market, I get to make the rules how you sell your product. Additionally certain important resources are important and regulated, drugs, medical care, energy, water.
1. Unplug the TV first. 2. Don't use water on an electrical fire. 3. Toxins are released, even if the fire is gone you shouldn't stay in the room. 4. No smoke alarms?
The key point with a patent is that it is the method to achieve a particular solution.
They patented a 'fancy hinge', but tabbed browsing would be a 'fancy browser organization system'. You can use any organization system, but not their fancy tabbed one.
The goal of a patent is to spread it as wide as possible.
A patent isn't for an idea, it is for an method to implement a feature.
You own your hinge, if someone else wants a wide opening door they would have to develop a new method not to infringe.
If tabbed browsing was patented, and someone wanted to group multiple web pages under one logical window, they would have to create their own new method.
It is the specific solution that is patented, be it a fancy hinge or tabs to show the web pages.
Think wide opening doors and grouping web pages as the goal. Fancy hinge and tabs as the method to accomplish it.

if you're printing 8 1/2 x 11 or smaller, there is no effetive difference.
Many people think this is a 'big enlargement'.
Disposable cameras have such a terrible lens all your pictures will be crap anyway.
I like my elan, I use my fuji digital.
The first line is more important than your headline.

You can inject yourself full of naturally occuring stuff all you want.
If you exceed the limit, you get nailed for doping anyway.

Sorry the deck isn't stacked against Walmart.
It is stacked against certain behaviours.
As long as everyone is under the same laws, it is a fair competative environment. Walmart just needs to create a new strategy.
Quotas are bad.

The worth of the company is always subjective.
The company may be worth $80 million to the purchaser.
But to the current owners it should be worth less, even if part of that value is the freedom to not have to maintain it.

That is a horrible definition of capitalisem, maybe a good one for the markets though.
Capitalism would be invest in the opportunities offering the best return.
Uh why can't IBM assert its patents against linux.
The GPL only requires you to distribute the code under the same terms, it doesn't include a mandatory patent license.
This is the patent hole in the GPL.
That would be bad for IBM.
They want to be able to use them if they are sued.
Imagine Linux becomes 'THE' OS. A computer company sues IBM for patent infringement, IBM can strike back hard with the infringing parts of Linux.
This is a very good position for them to be in, I can't imagine them giving it up lightly.
I hate Walmart because most of their products are low quality, it is messy and disorganized, and they have a poor selection.

Sorry the 9/11 attack wasn't stupid.
It worked pretty much as planned.
The part you consider 'stupid' is they died, but by their logic this isn't a problem, they considered it a cause worth dying for.
Milk and grain have regulated marketing bodies.
