Ironically, diebold also manufactures ATM machines used in major US banks, and so far, we've heard few complains. why can't they duplicate that logic when creating e-voting machines ???
So that the people with the largest bank balances get the most out of the machines
Here's a scary thought, though somewhat off-topic here, I think it needs to be addressed: What if Bush loses, but refuses to leave office?
The reason wouldn't matter so much, he could have plenty. But think about it, who could actually MAKE him leave? He is technically in charge of the military, and would have the United State's entire arsenal at his disposal if need be.
Dude, the military does not listen tho Mr. Bush but the President, if Kerry wins the military follow Kerry's orders.
what's the difference if a few Hackers get a hold of your account?
You know its not just as simple as you think. I mean I dont care if a few hackers read my email, but what if they decide to use sensitive info in it or delete it.
I run an e-business from Nigeria and earn some money in the process. People email me their bank account numbers, creditcard numbers,SSNs and what not (I am creative). Now if some immoral hacker got hold of that data , the poor users would be duped twice, and I would feel really bad abt it (I mean I could have got twice the money myself if I wanted). So I request Gmail to help the Nigerian revolution and our fight against AIDS and dictators and fix the bug as soon as possible.
Jef saysSome programs I wrote in Basic on an Apple II ran faster than when written in a modern language on a G4 Dual-processor Mac with hardware 1,000 times faster. which is BS unless he specifies what his program did. I mean a simple "Press any key to continue" is going to be so much more effeicient tha na dialog box with "Do you want to save your settings? --- Yes No OK Cancel SaveToDisk Abort "
Yes, I second this, At UT Austin, we do everything online , registartion, fee payment. Everyone has free webspace, resonable number of computers ( I mean noone as to wait), the library computers are good, the librarians have an online chat so you dont have to go over if you need to ask the librarian something, there is a huge number of online books for students, the best online Map collection. Ok I dont mean to troll, but we should have been ranked for sure ( the stats show NR for most fields, maybe they did not bother to find out ?)
.. most CS students should not be in the program much less touching computers. A good programmer is usually found in someone who does it outside school or work requirements. Someone who touches the command line for the first time in their Intro to Java class (one of the first ones in most CS programs today) is not one of these people.
Well I was under the impression that they join the program to learn CS and not the otherway round. I have seen smart students who have never used a computer before do really well in my course. Also CS is not just about programming, its like other engineering branches... i.e. about solving problems... programming languages are just the tools. Your argument is similar to saying that unless u have experience constructing bridges and buildings dont go into a Civil engg. program. (anyway most analogies are as dumb as a bat:)
The result? Word Processors which ship on 5 CDs and do little more than similar products from a decade ago.
I am pretty sure you havnt used one of those. Compare Wordstar for DOS (which btw was state of the art) to the open office writer and you'll know what I am talking about. The fact is there always have been (and I guess will be) good programmers and sloppy programmers and if u r hiring a programmer ur job is to weed out the sloppy programmers.
I use the linux box for websurfing, AIM, and as a file server, and the windows box (since it has a bigger monitor) for doing any programming homework and playing games.
Games is ok but why programming ? I first started using linux bcos I found it easier to program in Linux (believe it or not , I switched bcos of the middle click paste:) ) . I mean unless u use.Net why should programming homeworks in Windows be easier ? Not flaming , just curious
Netbeans is a good IDE. They probably bundle it to make Java programming easier, so that you dont have to search for a good IDE if you are new to Java. If you have a fav IDE just scroll down and download just the jdk
If u did want to add both Rects and Circles to the List u should be defining List(Shape) l . If you have List (Circle) then I see no reason to allow Rects in that . BTW the round brackets are to be read as angular brackets

Google has over 82 million unique users a month and annual revenues of about three billion dollars. [2] And yet have you ever seen a Google ad? says the article.
Well I have seen google ads a lot of times (even on/.). Well, they are the ads for google adsense but techincally thats still google right ?

This is slightly off topic but also relevant looking at the other posts which seem to be concerned abt the radioactive thing.
I dont know if many people know that Boeing used radioactive Uranium in the 747 -100 in the stablizer (or somewhere else.. I am not very sure). They wanted something with density and tungsten alloy (which they use now) was more expensive than U238 which was the wasted byproduct of power stations. They took care to sheild it and it had lots of warnings abt it being radioactive and ensuring that the sheild was undamaged.
So the point its not very unusual to use radioactive materials and nor very dangerous as long as they are properly marked.
Ok I dont disagree with that at all but when u review a new distro you comapre it with other existing distros. I mean, I expected to know how the Uthu distro compared with Redhat , Suse etc, and not with MS Windows. May be a few years later if Uthu becomes 'THE' linux distro then you could crib abt Uthu not having so and so wizard.
The review concludes that one of the few disadvantages of the disro is 'no VPN wizard'. Now isnt that a bit too picky !!! I would understnad if they mentioned the Text based Installer, no pakg selection , bad install documentation etc. but no VPN wizard is absurd.
