I installed and used it and it's still slow as hell, Youtube doesn't work at all, the CPU still maxes out.
On a side note, I do have the 256mb rasb-pi, so maybe it requires the 512mb version to work well?
Oh well, I just went back to playing MAME and beat "The Punisher" arcade game instead:p
I second this.
I've installed different flavors of Linux (including Ubuntu, since you're looking for something desktop friendly) on 32-bit computers (old aspire one, old Pentium 4 with old video and sound card) and haven't had any issues at all with motherboards (and most other things).
If you're in doubt, most distros now have a live CD/DVD so you can always test it out before installing. Of course this entails that you have access to the motherboard in the first place.
Those original games are blatant rip-offs as well.
Angry Birds? Flappy Birds? I had similar games on my C64 and those were probably already copies of similar games on Atari and earlier computers.
Except for the eye-candy, these games could be programmed by anyone taking a basic programming/gaming 101 course.
I don't think that's true.
In Belgium at least in the 90s med school was populated by more women than men (I'd say 2/3rd).
I would actually argue that where intelligent scientifically inclined men tend to choose engineering, the women tend to choose med school.
Med school is harder than nursing school as well. I'm sure the women that are smart enough to go for med school won't just settle for nurse. And respect is due for nurses as well, it's a tough job.
exactly.
When you're blocking everything, you're blocking nothing.
Instead of having a clear view of what was on the mind of students, these students will now use anonymous proxies, vpn , tor and the like to still access this content.
In turn, the university will have lost control or at least oversight of what the students were actually accessing.
Jamie and Adam won't be seeking work after Mythbusters? Jamie is 57 and Adam is actually only 47 years old ! Unless Mythbusters runs until they're 80, I'm sure they'll be looking for other gigs after this one. There is no retirement age in media, unless you're physically unfit to do the job or nobody wants you anymore.
average salary software developer in the US is 98k.
average business manager is 48k.
We might not get the respect we think we deserve, but the stats don't lie about our income.
Research concluded that poor kids, where parents usually don't spend as much 'meaningful' time with the children, because they're busy working three jobs to get food on the table, actually lose knowledge (math, reading comprehension) during summer. Blue collar/middle class children usually were leveled whereas middle class/rich kids actually got a bit smarter during summer. (http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Summer_Learning_Loss/).
So for some children there may certainly be a benefit to less vacation.
I've had to do the "port forward - tunneling - port reconnect" thing for Oracle, and I'm pretty sure you can put the reconnect and initial connection on the same port, or at least you can specify a specific port where that reconnect happens. Because indeed otherwise you're left with a range of open ports or you don't know which port to tunnel on.
The database had to be in a certain mode though (Don't know if it was shared or dedicated), and some changed to the ORA file or other were necessary too to specify the port.
Oh yes, and in good Oracle fashion, this was only possible from Oracle9i, or before Oracle10 or something like that:-)
And why it pays to be an Oracle consultants, folks:-) (I'm not an Oracle consultant for the record).
Next lesson: try installing Oracle on a linux platform...I hope you guys know something about library linking, compiler options and make files
Sounds a bit like the f1 measure used in classification systems, where the F-score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall. (where trying to higher precision yields lower recall and vice-versa)
however, I'm wondering how stable this Weissman score is. Compression algorithms might not all perform O(n) where n is size of data to compress.
Or it may actually give a very high score to something that doesn't compress at all.
public byte[] compress( byte[] input) { return input;}
I bet this gets a high Weissman score;-)
I can't speak for long jump, but in high jump your shoes are definately regulated.
you're not allowed for example to have shoes that have a sole thicker than a certain amount.
I just looked it up and apparently it's the same for long jump shoes.
So yes, I don't think springs or a blade qualify as valid shoes in this case (especially if the blade is 18 inches longer than your other leg!).
Selective, maybe. However the chart is a bit outdated, as there are over 800 casualties already, and that was 2 days ago.
So, in that given chart, the Palestina conflict just climbed 6 places.
No you don't need math to write an iPhone App or an interactive website.
You do need math to understand why looking up some keys in a HashMap is much faster than iterating over a vector.
You do need math to understand why some encryption algorithms are better than others
It just gives you the tools to better comprehend what's going on under the hood, so you have more information to make the right choices in how to implement something.
They took a publications database between 1996 and 2011, which contains about 15,000,000 authors.
There they found only 150,000 published every of those years.
Of course not all of those 15 million have been working in research for 16 years. Most graduate/PhD students are in research for 5 years and then they need to find another job.
Actually most people at my company were author or co-author of a paper at some point, and we only published because of some grants that required it.
So if you take out the people who really only have a couple of publications, or published for a small period of time, the picture will be completely different.
Take into account that you need people who's career actually span the 1996-2011 period (which filters out probably like 30% of people genuinely having a successfull academic career), and they actually paint a realistic picture of who the profs are or research leads.
You can implement a programming language in python.
We used Scheme (simple LISP derivate) at our university in the nineties (good old Abelson and Sussman).
Didn't even have classes (objects) back then!
Still it was perfectly possible to simulate objects (state and behaviour) by lambda expressions.
Same can be done with Python, I'm sure.
Writing a meta-circular interpreter in any language will teach you about memory allocation.
Maybe not pointer specific notation as in C.
Same question.
I grew up playing Wonder Boy, Double Dragon, Yie Ar Kungfu, etc...
Grew out of it after Street Fighter 2.
Most of these games could be played and beaten with a single coin (Double Dragon being my favorite).
Then something changed. Suddenly you couldn't even finish the first level without putting back money into the machine.
Did you also feel this transition (or maybe those games aren't classic enough), or did I just suck too much and these games were beatable after all?

> How many people are going to be killed by C++ in the next decade?
Depends on how many missile launch systems, drones and other high-tech weaponry was implemented in C++.
In the mean time, they managed to cook the purest batch of meth yet known to men.

To write better Apps and Websites?
Are these what the kids call programming languages these days?
It doesn't sound very serious.

But I'd probably have to start consuming more energy states recent research.

I also sometimes think the test failed and is meaningless.
So, if all minimum wage people suddenly make 10$ more a day, rent will be raised > 200$ a month.
Didn't work :p
But seriously...C64...seeing the cracked games...
Impressed by the whole demo scene and intro messages...
hex editors...decompilers....
