The part in bold is the problem with what you said. From the original parent post, this isn't talking about youth-dominated genres of the entire music market, rather it's talking about one specific institute. The population there happens to be 120,000. Given that 6% are into metal, so the obvious answer there is only 7200 out of 120,000 are into metal. That really is quite a few given the number of people the the specific population of the institute in question.
So really, Swift Kick is right. A few people are into metal. That doesn't prove that the vast majority of gifted students (at least ones belonging to this institution anyways) are into metal at all.
That all being said, comparing nation wide ratings to a very specific survey is apples to oranges. Of course nation wide data wouldn't apply to a specific set of date.
And on top of that, Swift Kick is probably right, they probably do annoy family and friends and act like total douche bags and listen to metal to cope with their own insecurities. I know I did when I was a teen, and I was a total fucking douche bag.
Stop the presses (pardon the pun, you know someone had to say it) but it can print 330 pages per minute and in the/. article it says that it can run a copy of War and Peace in under a minute? Come again? War and Peace is 1408 pages long, and if this thing can do 330 ppm and supposedly can print a copy of War and Peace in UNDER a minute? Is anyone else struggling with the math here?
Okay, now this is going to sound incredibly stupid to the vast majority of you, it'll probably start a flame war and all of that good stuff.
The reason I won't use wireless is pretty simple, suppose I have my computer and my WAP sitting in the front room of my house. If you decide to pull up and park across the street you can sniff my data rather easily. Sure I can encrypt it, secure it, and slap an ACL on there so you can't get in or do anything with the data you capture, but the fact of the matter is you and your buddies hanging out in your car across the street from my house can sniff my data.
Now, if I've got copper inside. I pull up to the house one night and I notice the front window is open and there is some cat5 ran across my yard from your car window to my switch. I'm going to come out of the house, go to your car and proceed to knock the ever loving shit out of you in front of your friends. I'm not a big man, but if I was in that situation, I would be an angry one.
Of course, sure you can sniff my data with copper, but most likely you won't be doing it parked in front of my house, but rather at your own house which settles the whole notion of me dragging you out through your car window and kicking your ass there in the street.
In the slashdot posting we get this:
He's pushing a project called PlanetLab that has Princeton, Cambridge, Hewlett-Packard and AT&T on board, but Cisco is notably absent from that team."
Yet, when we look at the article:
It's a vision apparently shared by Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and AT&T Corp. (NYSE: T), all of whom are working feverishly, either together or apart to save the World Wide Web, which Intel and others see as becoming so overloaded it will eventually break.
Ripping good show, sport!
Hey guys, I'm here at my office running on a Win2k machine, with IE 6.0.2800.1106. I just installed the patch then tested it against the proof of concept code at this location
and the exploit still worked for me. The code went through, and did display www.microsoft.com in the address bar as it should of.
I'm not sure if anyone else is having luck with this patch working or not. Maybe I did something wrong? But for my inital test, it failed for me.
Proof of concept code was located through Bugtraq
Yeah, it'll kill you, but you're right. You seriously wanna lose some weight, just have a smoke and a can of coke in the mornings for breakfast, light lunch and a smoke after words and you'll be set 'till closing time.
Exaclty Kaa,
If a law is setup because of outcry due to deviant behaviors among members of a society, then thats one thing. For instance, as humans we have deemed one of the worst acts that anyone can commit is murder. There is no lawful country which supports murder of another human being. Because of this act being termed deviant, we have created laws which say "if you murder, you will be punished". But on the other hand, if there is a law that is setup "in the best interests" of the public, and a wide range of the public chooses to violate that rule, is the action still to be considered deviant? Obviously is society supports one act over another, the original act is no longer deviant. What is a law really? It's a three way handshake, the first hand goes to the public, who says "Okay, this type of behavior isn't acceptable". The second hand goes to the law making bodies (usually given their power by vote of the public) to say "Okay, this piece of paper declares that in this land, this act is illegal against what we've agreed upon". And the third hand then returns to the public to not break that law. But if over time the society deems that one specific behavior is no longer deviant, but the law still stands, then how is the law doing its job anymore?
All of that babble was just to illustrate your point even further, if a law is broken by a majority of a society, then there is something wrong with the law, because it's quite obvious that the society which lives under the law no longer deems the behavior/action/whatever to be deviant.
I doubt very many will. Don't forget, just because it has the bin compat. doesn't mean that SGI won't be porting all of their good solid IRIX apps. over to their Linux distros. I'd say that if anything, most IRIX guys are going to be heading to Linux in the future, if SGI is definte on phasing out IRIX (ie I haven't read up on it at all). NetBSD's bin compat. with IRIX is going to be quite useful because hopefully it will let some other people cut their teeth on IRIX apps. that might not have access to an actual IRIX machine.
How can you even guess that? I mean look at what you're saying to me. "I think that I should be able to predict the future based off what people are saying". Hey buddy, ESP isn't real, and don't you worry.. you aren't the only one who can't predict the future. The point I'm driving at is: It's no shocking relvelation that someone would find that we're using words to describe our world events. Those are the things that actively shape our lives and our views, so why is it some kind of big discovery to find out that "Hey! They were talking about the depression as it was going on! Imagine that!"
Do you really need to have a guy go out and research and spend money/time on figuring out that world events shape what we talk about? Are you really that socially inept that you couldn't determine this on your own using a bit of logical reasoning? I mean come on now, what am I really showing about trends in word usage when it's almost painfully obvious to note that people are shaped by our world events. You notice we all don't stomp around babbling about how much we hate the Japanese, but 65 years ago you can bet your ass people did. When it really comes right down to it, how can you believe that research of this nature is showing us something we couldn't of seen before. Do we really need algorithms to prove social theory?
Did anyone read the article? Amazingly enough this wonderful software with its POWERFUL algorithms proved a true point of "no shit". While running this gem of coding genius, the authors managed to find reoccuring references to "Depression" while scanning texts from the 1930's. Imagine that, finding the word depression from a time period thats been nicknamed "The Great Depression" I would of never linked the word "Depression" with "The Great Depression". Have we really reached the point where we can just do the same shit over and over again and it's magically a new invention?
MS is bringing out 3 Degrees which is reinventing IRC, this guy is telling us the painfully obvious, and I've been working on this little trick thats gonna really change the way we think of food, get this guys: I take two pieces of bread, a piece of cheese, and a piece of meat and stack it together.. I call this wonderful new life shaping discovery "The meat-and-cheese-on-bread" I really think it's gonna change how we eat!
Hey, I'm a network administrator for a small power company (an REMC in Columbus, IN.. if you know the area). I also attend a community college. I go about 13 hours a week to school and I work about 20, the real trick with getting everything to work out is just getting the right amount of hours for each. Sounds like if you already own the company finding the good balance of work + school will be pretty easy.
No, what apparently you guys didn't get before you came back here and flamed me (oh.. thats right, look at where I'm posting, why didn't I realize). I did strip down not only what I installed (ie so I didn't have anything extra running) but I also disabled unneeded services, and I turned off anything I didn't need, I didn't just "hop" into linux yesterday kids, I've been doing this for a while so I naturally assumed thats what one should of done out of the box so I didn't feel the need to mention it.
I was recently in a bit of a sporting mood so I downloaded TurboLinux 7 workstation.. I wouldn't recommend it at all to anyone, it's terrible.. sorta seems like someone takes a linux kernel, installs windows on top of it and hands it to you.. I'm running a 1ghz p3 with 512mb of ram (PC133@Cas 2) and after a standard boot of it I had something like 33mb of ram free.. thats just terrible! my xp machine isn't even THAT bad.
Well guys if you sat down and read the article all the way through and saw what was going on you could basically understand that this isn't that much of an innovation, just tweaking an already proven practice. People have been using water cooling for years, and basically this just takes water coolings model and just makes it self-contained (at least how I understood it) the only flaw that they are going to run into is keeping the coolant cool at all times which will be hard since in water cooling setups there is a return pipe to the cooler/recycled water..
Over all I give em two thumbs up for at least tweaking a proven practice, but then again they need some more work to really get the idea going.
Well, like a lot of places we use NetBSD for our dns server, for a while we had a linux machine running our mail server, however it was dropped (due to the better advice of myself and my supervisor) for an exchange server (I forget exactly why we dropped it, I believe we got a discount on the server itself) also, we have a VMS machine running down there as well. I don't think there is a lot of plans to move us to a more linux/unix desktop setup, however it shows that unix still controls and commands the server industry.

I currently have a pretty secure IRC setup, when I connect to IRC, I pass my connection through my NetBSD gateway, well as the IRC related packets are passed, they are sent through a program called "Stunnel" Stunnel provides SSL encyrted connections to IRC, thusly my connection/text is always pretty damn secure.

This has been done a lot before, I read a lot of other news sites, and mainly people into heavy case modification, or those who overclock a lot(the rounding allows air to flow better around the case, which helps to get rid of the extra heat generated by overclocking), round out their IDE cables. I've done this before, but I've also killed some cables before, if you try this becareful or you might be heading down to a store to get some new IDE ribbons.
