Some of it is just flat-out wrong, too. For example, it has me listed under XWiki with a description of how my project was rewriting and adding features to Horde_Form for Horde.org. I think they have some lines crossed somewhere. I also submitted a proposal to XWiki, but the one I submitted to Horde was the one accepted.
Where in Zeus's name did you get your 40 hours/week number from?
I would say I spent about 150 hours on my project. That puts me at around $30/hour before taxes.
There is no time requirement. You propose a project. If it gets accepted, you spend however long it takes to get it done. At your leisure. Whenever you want.
But similar results done with THC (Tetra Hydro Cannabinol), the main compound in hash and weed have found no evidence for this cellgrowth stimulation
This is slightly misleading. You are suggesting that evidence of cannaboid stimulation of cell growth does not imply evidence of THC stimulation. If it has anything to do with neurotransmission, then it most definitely does imply this. It doesn't matter (with cannabinoids, at least -- cholinergic receptors are a different story) whether the transmitter is endogenous or not. The brain doesn't know.
Besides, you can be sure that with such a hot subject and the way research is financed/politiced there will be more research 'debunking' this even if it turns out to be true after all.
Yes, unfortunately more or less all research on Mary Jane is doomed to failure. Hell, the government still has it classified as a Schedule I narcotic, despite the continuous laughter from the academic community.
ya im tired of ppl tryin 2 send me filez and it not werkin if i had a dime for every time ppl have tried to send me a pic of the last party they were at and the transfer failed id have at least eleventy billion $$$ come on linux i need to be able to send ims just like i can on windows
Hey, I just came across another AJAX email client in addition to the one mentioned in the article! I figured you guys would want to check it out, since I haven't seen it mentioned here on/. yet.
Security? XMLHttpRequest is very cool, but (albeit for reasons not the same as those you gave for Java), it's likely to fall off its pedestal very soon in the face of these security problems.
You're kidding, right?
That article is quite weak. If you check the forums, you'll see just about every post that references this article is pointing out flaws and how the article really isn't saying anything at all.
No. new. security. concerns. The guy even says it in the article, which makes the reader wonder why he's writing it.
XMLHttpRequest breaks the assumption that web pages only record what you're doing when you "submit" a request
That's a horribly flawed assumption, unless you disable everything but markup rendering.
I'm a senior, thanks. My GPA is such that I can guarantee that it is at least as high as yours was, if we want to compare sticks. And you kind of just proved my point by describing how easy it is to post private information. So, what was your point?
No, actually he's right. I know that I don't even realize how beautiful the women are here until I leave MU for a while (e.g., the summers) and come back. We're pretty spoiled, but I'm okay with it.
I and at least one other person also submitted the story to/. It's a huge breach of privacy (almost 22,000 students!), and I'm not surprised at all to see that many people submitted the story.
Is that retired as in the way that former FEMA director Michael Brown is now retired? I don't think he retired. I think he was fired. And, if I had to guess, when the person at Miami was holding all those SSN's, I hope he was on the pay roll. Retired today? What about yesterday?
I blame the MIS students!!! Biz-kids think they can run a computer...
And yeah, the docs included my ssn...
I'm glad Bush passed that Bankruptcy reform
What happens when everyones id is stolen. Really fuck the econ, aye, you know, if you can't trust anyone id...
Dude, you're an alumnus from here at Miami who was in the CSA department?
I knew I should have been a Waste Management major instead of SAN.
Anyway, from TFA, it wasn't "Biz Kidzzzzz" who exposed the data, but a now-retired professor in the Business Department. The incompetence resides in Miami's IT for letting people who shouldn't be expected to be overly technical have that much ability to expose critical information.
Slashdot Mirror
the open source world could start to get the penetration it needs
Two guesses where Ballmer is likely to feel that penetration...
Competition. Good. Microsoft.
Does not compute. Does not compute.
Power off.
Allow the GSpeculation to begin!

And I'd like fries with that, please.
First: It really wasn't about the pay. The pay was damn nice, but it wasn't about that.
Secondly: I and many others also had part time jobs/internships.
He's the guy who did the Onion redesign? I'm not so sure Slashdot would fair well with a 63-column layout.

Money isn't the end all of everything, "power" is. It's just that in some places, money can give power.
Actually, money is the quantification of power. And I mean that in the most literal of senses.
Ajax is the first genuinely new thing I can think of this century.
Sure, as long as this comment was posted in or before 1999.

Best. movie. ever.
Jeez, would you like it to make you toast, too? I mean, come on! I bet you're one of those people who wants optimized subqueries, too.
Not in IE, it's not.

Yes, they do allow that. Add it as a pop3 account in Yahoo.

comparing Miami to an Ivy League is... quite hilarious, I must say.
That part was a joke. Humor is one of the things some people learn in college, if not beforehand.
Score:1, Troll
Someone didn't get the 'excuse my french' joke.
For being French, you speak wonderful English.
