Hmmm, that's not quite the right interpretation. The crux of the decision was disrupting the school day. The same rules apply to school sponsored papers and non-school sponsored papers. I don't think the funding of the paper ever factored into it.
The lesson here is that the rules change in a school, until the Supreme Court decides otherwise (which I think is doubtful).
You're wrong, unfortunately. Under the Hazelwood Supreme Court decision pricipals of a school have the right to censor a school newspaper if they decide its contents will disrupt the school day.
How many feminist think that most of the worlds problems are because men are running things? That men are more violent than women? Yet lots of people would not say that is sexist.
None that I've talked to. How many feminists have you had discussions with or read their work?
And yet, there are many brilliant people that were helped by a formal education. Think of all of the scientists you know of - if you know of them, chances are they were, among other things, a "really creative problem solver." I say scientists, because at least during the past century or so, they all had lots and lots of schooling.
Come again? From the article, it sounds like the security flaw is completely the fault of Google, and has nothing to do with the platform it was written for.
No. His complaint is that bad pages crash the browser. If the browser receives a malformed page, it should be handled - how is up for debated - not crash. If the application crashes, that's a bug. Think of a compiler. If the compiler receives malformed code (syntactically incorrect), crashing is not an option.
The design decision is only involved with what you do once you recognize it's malformed.
I looked up this article: Richard Feynman and the Connection Machine. It's a story about him I hadn't heard before - but it doesn't qualify him for a top 20 list of software or CS.
My assesment no way diminshes the man's contributions to science - I think he was perhaps the most influential theoretical physicist of the latter half the 20th centruy - and his passion for learning new things is something I admire and hope I can also do throughout my life.
I've read a talk he gave on the subject, but it was still an exercise from his field - theoretical physics. He talked about the theoretical limits of building computers, and while this is certainly interesting, it doesn't qualify him for a list of top twenty software people, or even CS in general.
I think that by "computing" they meant doing the theoretical physics necessary to figure out what was and was not theoretically possible. A "computer" used to mean "one who computes".
You're assuming that people are indeed afraid to publish, and using that assumption to call into question the method they used.
In response to your last question, I don't know how else to determine what the scientific consensus is. Peer reviewed journals is how scientists communicate their work to other scientists.
I'm funded under an NSF grant, but our department has a policy that everyone at the same level gets paid the same - so I get paid the same as other Master's students, who are normally TAs, not RAs. We get the tutition deferrment as well.
I think it's probably a cost of living thing (Williamsburg, VA is not an expensive place to live), but it might also be a state thing as well; VA public schools are pretty tight for cash. But CS grad students here are the best paid, as I said, I know of others in the $12,000 range.
I'm a computer science graduate student at William & Mary. I make $16,000 a year. The Ph.D. students - I'm still a Master's student - make $19,000 a year. And compared to people in biology, we get paid a lot; I know someone who gets $12,000 a year.
It's always been the "now familiar format of Gabe vs. Tycho at home and at play." The Bench strips you saw were a Sunday-only thing that eventually turned into its own online community that eventually imploded.
You're still getting an American-centric view. Our media reports differently than the media in other countries. For example, the BBC had an interesting man-on-the-street with Palenstinians about Arafat's death. Even in left-leaning papers like the WP and NYT, I would not expect to see something like that, because each of the person's interviewed made statements that challenges the US media's approach to the issue.
Personally, I find British coverage of American events particularlly interesting.
Honestly, if they start charging, I'll pay. It's an email account that will move with me, and I like the interface. I pay for a phone line because I want to be able to communicate with people, and I'd pay for my gmail account because I want to be able to communicate with people. I'd just consider a bill like phone, electric, cable or gas.
I might be missing something in your explanation, but the poster was not calling for the firmware to be open source, but that the license for the binaries be changed so that they can be redistributed (with, say, a Linux distribution).
I thought you guys were the Colonials - hence the TJ bumper sticker of a colonial with a drum that read "We came for the sports." I went to Annandale; TJ stole all of our smart kids.

I don't think such articles make it into a journal of Applied physics.
Then how did their work get into the Journal of Applied Physics, which I assume, like all scientific journals, has a rigorous peer review process?

Richard Feynman? I have an enormous amount of respect for the man, but he was not a software person, or even anything close to a CS person.
I would still take a mediocre private education over the best our Government can offer, thanks.
You can't be serious. Some of the best schools in this country are public.

Then I guess your school pays a hell of a lot more than mine. Public or private? What's the cost of living like in the area?
It's prior art to this patent application, which is suffecient.

In Java, however, it is an identitiy test, and it does allow == as well as !=.
