For the art of war and under a known set of rules of engagement, this algorithm can work for DARPA's needs.
Interesting the article mentions they used a LSM-based algorithm vs. a Monte Carlo method (satisfy real-time requirement?) and it can cast some doubt on how accurate their model really is.

emergence and self-organization, two important concepts of the future
To be truly open, services need to get off the telco-cable strangle-hold.
Even with Municipal Wi-FI, there is some point where the connection goes through a telco or cable company--even if you're on the open end, the service you're hitting is likely on the otherside of the telco toll booth.
Basically the only alternative I see is a 3rd backbone created by the community--which is going to be slow to develop as well, just as costly--not much different than the corporations. BUT, it will provide 100% more value and a better investment in the long run compared to any corporation creating the infrastructure.
Old news, AOL has been trying to do this since 1997. And looking at it, it appears to have failed as a social network, but successful at creating a Jerry Springer, ad-infested environment for the corporations to feed on.
"Coral has been around for a long time; according to this link on wikipedia, over 500 million years."
And we don't really know if corral has been in domant states within that time span, considering corral has adapted to a narrow rangecurrently (within the last few hundred years).
Are we likely effecting the environment? why YES (entropy, duh...), are we likely accelerating warming? why YES (releasing energy within days that was created over millions of years, thermodynamics basically). Is measuring and simulating climate (i.e. climate research) proving the global warming, not 100% fact (it's measurements). Is global warming a movement, no, this is evolution and we are adapting (becoming more aware and considerate with our environment).
Didn't you know, everything [basic] that society 'pushes' to be "important" (i.e. retirement, career, raising a family, dealing with mental health, basic health, safety, etc..) is never taught at school. It's the things society chooses as knowledge or skills to 'get ahead', which I think is BS as we should all move forward.
Luckily we have the simple basics of math, science, language, history, music, etc... so that the intelligent have a way out, but the main problems people have appear to be either staying healthy to choosing a freaking 401K. Computer literacy is being put into that same category my friends.
"citing statistics which show a sharp drop in the number of female CS grads since the 1980s, and a decline in the percentage of women in the IT profession since 2001. "
a) Could it be that there's a drop in grads since no one is making good money compared to the en vogue hot-subjects of MBAs, financial planner, or attorney?
Along with observation a) Could it be that current female IT professionals are having children and leaving the workforce, likely not to come back due to the stress of an IT job? I know of 3 females that have left IT to have a family and after having a child, now are looking at other industries for work.
now that IBM can make money off gambling, or other tax-manuever VR biz epmployees need to watch themselves. So much for making money on company time off customer's high charge rate.
You must wera the trademark blue, short sleeved shirt for now on
I have to admit IBM is a great company for the virtual world to create virtual apps (or is it that's what they do in the real world?).
"US senators today made a bipartisan call for the universal implementation of filtering and monitoring technologies on the Internet in order to protect children. "
Wouldn't it be easier and simpler if parents "protected" their children instead? That they'd be educated in lifes good and bad vs. the bubbly, spoiled and whiney MTV corporate world? Why is this the internet's job? Cybernanny?
I'll take any cloning, snapshots features in a VM over making MS Word boot up in 2secs vs 4sec (100% speed improvement!) anyday. Or (Hint: to the OSX developers) solid Mac VM/Hibernation vs. OSX bootup time.
Sort of, code will always be around, but the OSS process is suppose to remove not-useful (i.e. bad) code and projects out and build on useful/good code. Basically to create a solid foundation. That's compared to a corporation promoting bad code and continuing to improve (or in other words, degrade) bad code and projects hence resulting in a weak foundation.
And knowing the history of this project, it will get picked up.
If you want to create, the CS will benefit you more. If you want to be up on the latest trends, collaboration, and have other interests (like writing or sewing), then IT would suit you better. Either way, it's the frame of mind that these 2 subjects place you in and how you feel comfortable to doing something positive vs. being a vegetable.
Choose whatever works best for your head. Otherwise, don;t be a wuss--any hard science will be more fulfilling;)...
Maybe to learn on how to better deploy SPAM ("cough": Ads) features from a ANTIspam company?
Considering they are hitting the plateau for hiring extreme/smart developers (nope, I guess I didn't "cut it" after interview #3), and learning more about ads/spam and spam filtering, this is a good buy to compliment the double click purchase.
Prevention is good only with education of the thing you're preventing.
In the end, aside from what the social and political nutjobs (left and right) say, this is good for engineering and expanding the knowledge and curiosity of people. Really.
You mean 75K. Cause we all know everyone works 50+hrs or more, hence, your effective hourly rate is 20-30% less.
With the cost of living (COL) increases, unless s/w developers are making 140K+, the dotcom culture IS NOT coming back. My raise this year was actually less than the COL in my area -- and I work the usual 50+. Those were the days...
Slashdot Mirror
For Lucasfilm, and not NASA. All this 30th anniv. SW marketing is getting beaten to a pulp as irrelevant pop culture.
iWorks is no better. I don't want to be reminded about WORK by all these products when I'm using it at home.
TextEdit would be a great name.
And it didn't require a million dollars of HD camera equipment and post facilities (considering Snow White had a complete product cost of 1.5mil).
Revolutionary, nah, it's Hollywood...

I just hope companies realize (likely) all they need to do is recompile their code. It's something Solaris failed at with the JDS.
Nothing new here, please move along.

You meant themselves. Most CEO/Higher ups are usually the largest stock holders. Yes it's F-ed up--the quick buck rules!

Google team reports an AusCERT find? AND no details? A simple sentence saying what the error is? Is it patched?
Sounds like someone saying "Mission accomplished" w/o showing any proof--sounds like FUD.
uh, no thanks. I think you'll be wrong on that one, Tim.

But for 625M!? Makes me think not...
