the standard has 4 possible tones for each of the 2 dual-tones - one of those 8 tones is not used on a 4x3 keypad but is used for signaling (you phone sends it when it receives caller ID for example) those missing tones from the real 4x4 matrix are named A B C and D
that's a specious argument - "there are many more things in the world that are more dangerous than X" doesn't make X any less dangerous than it actually is
The problem with stock options in a company as big as MS is that it can't keep doing the sorts of exponential growth most tech companies try for - there's only so much money in the world, they can't have all of it because otherwise no one could buy their stuff.
So they've reached a point where they have to pay dividends - part of the profit - rather than depend on their stock just forever going up - that means profit sharing for executives (and other staff) rather than options if you want performance based incentive schemes
64-bit VLIW instructions, 2 ALUs, 1 load store unit (3 ops/clock) I'm going to guess 32 registers (ala MIPS) - that means 3+3+2=8x(log2 32 = 5) = 40 bits to encode registers 8+8+8 to encode opcodes which seems maybe too many - perhaps 64 registers 48 bits of regs and 16 of opcodes?
So nose size and chin widths - isn't this just going to be screwed up for those with mustaches and beards - sort of good for catching almost everyone but Osama binLaden?
That system you have with SSH facing outwards - right now: PermitRootLogin no,
PubkeyAuthentication yes, PasswordAuthentication no, Allowusers one-guy-only
not having programmed for Windows for many years now what happens when these different versions of library C use different data structures or global variables?
One was Digeo (just disappeared sort of I'm afraid) - they hired Andrew Morton and basically paid him to work on the kernel for a couple of years - the other I probably can't comment on without asking first....
that there aren't enough of them - whoever's in charge of the dept just isn't putting enough resources into guys in booths.
The other problem is that the US runs all transit passengers though there too, wasting the immigration people's time - visit a real airport, say Hong Kong, arrive on your way somewhere else there's no paper work no guys stamping passports, just go through the transit security point upstairs to your departure gate. Not so in the US - you have to spend 2 hours going through immigration even though you're just there while your plane refuels - sometimes it leaves without you.
Everywhere else in the world has sealed departure gates that are a sort of diplomatic no-man's land and a procedure for leaving the country - you present your passport as you go, they log you out of the country and you get it stamped, in the US they depend on the airlines getting it right - no wonder people can come to the country and disappear - some of them actually left (this is actually a somewhat common problem - people come BACK to the US to visit and are denied because they 'overstayed' the first time - while they left on time but have no way to prove it because there's no such thing as a US exit stamp in your passport)
the last 2 places I've worked at we've used it all the time - we're careful about how we partition code and we publish source when required and we blow patches back to the various projects if it makes sense for them (after all we win in the end).
It's not hard to comply if you build it in to your planning from the start
well normal (neutral buoyancy) airships don't like to be too close to the ground - wind can blow them into it and damage them - that's why they dock at masts - and why you don't see them take off (they're already off) - this thing is a hybrid - heavier than air but not by much - it needs to be able to do this so it can land and be refueled in the field without building the towers and honking big hangers that blimps need
there's almost certainly a whole lot more going on in there than just a rectifier and a cap - more likely the lights contain a PFC stage and a modulated constant current power stage (for dimming). power leds need to run at a constant current - typically 350mA or 1A at ~4v - too little and you get no efficiency, too much and your lifetime suffers. Just hooking up a voltage dropping resistor and plugging it in the wall is not going to do anything useful.
I'm sitting in Hong Kong Airport - free wifi seems to be working well - the transit area of the airport seems to have more shops than my home town does so I guess that makes it a small city in its own right
this creating superimposed states of living things is just waiting for "The Fly" sorts of outcomes - scientist goes home with normal body, head of a virus, tiny virus with scientist head screams at camera in voice too high to hear
Worse still will be the quantum flu containing all possible mutations that collapses into just the right one to kill each person it infects
few countries are going to agree on any treaty that requires all patents to be filed only in English (or French or anything that bans their own legally recognized languages) - that means your patent searches will need to be able to handle Russian, Kangi,..... and your patent examiners able to read ALL of them
This is just posturing - when the zombies come the mathematicians will be the first to go - the human race will be repopulated by whoever can run the fastest
no - if we select for feminine beauty, but not masculine beauty men will just get the selected for genes and all our sons will end up looking like beautiful women. If we don't want to breed a race of girly-men we need to start choosing some big butch women too to even things out
The guy imports satellite boxes - if his goal was to reverse engineer the cards so that his boxes could work on Dish with a legally obtained card then the DCMA safe harbor for "interoperability" kicks in and he's legally OK. On the other hand if he's trying to obtain satellite service without paying Dish for the service they should throw the book at him.
Think of it from the O/S world - should people be allowed to reverse engineer the cards to allow MythTV to work with a paid for Dish card?
because music copyright usually results in a monopoly situation there is not competition - no one else is publishing the same track in competition to them, so the information is not commercially sensitive

2038 bugs are already here - I ran foul of OpenSSL failing valid crypto certs with end dates past then last year (now fixed)
I think that claiming that if most people wont be white then it will be a catastrophe, is simply racism
maybe 'tens of layers thick' for still small to medium values of 10s - there may be 100 or more steps to create those tens of layers though
I think if you're an atheist (rather than an agnostic) then "there is a god" is probably all you need for blasphemy

no FPU though sadly
with ultra capacitors you just put 'lines' in every so often - perhaps at bus stops

reading the claims sounds much more like it describes diesel-electric trains than Toyota's dual transmission drive
