When I was in university I wrote a group paper with one guy whose wife was a professional editor, she helped us out by reviewing it and making suggestions
Unless you specifically asked the prof and got permission to do that, you should generally assume that even if a paper is given as a “group” paper, it should still only involve the collaboration of people who are actually in that class, and in that group.
I can only assume that you didn't go to college. Asking someone to proofread your paper and/or offer suggestions is hardly an unusual or even prohibited act.
Anomalies are what they are, data anomalies, nothing more and nothing less.
Not true, anomalies are 100% certain proof of whatever it is you've decided ahead of time that you're looking for. Just ask: 9/11 Truthers, Anti-Obama Birthers, Ghost hunters, Anti-evolutionists, anti-vaccinationists, etc etc etc.
People doing statistical analysis who don't understand that a standard distribution GUARANTEES a percentage of anomalous results, frankly don't have any business having a job in their field. The fact that they'll label people as cheaters when they should know that x% will be labeled that way falsely is grounds for a pretty awesome lawsuit.
And even the folks you meet from Citrix, Microsoft, Quest, VMware, and Wyse — the people selling VDI — use traditional 'fat' notebook
It seems kind of obvious that people who have a need for notebooks are not the target market for VDI. A portable computer is likely intended to be carried outside the VDI workspace where it rapidly becomes an unworkable model.
Am I missing something, or is this a really poor point to try to bring into this discussion?
Oh, and hypertension has nothing to do with heart rhythm. You fail.
I didn't imply that it did, I was quoting you. Hypertension is high blood pressure...you told me I was wrong because of an example of... wait for it...high blood pressure, which I had already said.
In your haste to point fail fingers at people, I don't think you're following this conversation very well.
Yes, if by physical symptoms you mean the kind of symptoms you can get from saying "BOO" behind someone's back, or by giving them a kitten to pet, then yes...psychosomatic illness can cause physical symptoms.
However, when rational people discuss it we mean completely different things...but you already knew that, didn't you?
wow, in one post you managed to confuse "psychosomatic illness" with "placebo" AND miss the fact that "hypertension" includes things like heart rhythm and blood pressure.
So I'm going to offer you your own advice...just stop.
Placebo's [only] work when the symptons are Psychosomatic.
Not true.
Psychosomatic illnesses can cause real (and measurably so) physical symptoms, and psychosomatic treatments can cause real (and measurably so) physical improvement.
while that is a common belief, it is urban myth and unsupported by facts. The only physical symptoms a psychosomatic "illness" can cause are the obvious things like hypertension, panic attacks, etc.
30 years ago this might have been relevant, when cars sounded like heavy machinery, but modern gas engines make nearly zero noise on their own. Electric cars are not exactly silent either. The difference between the two is far, far less than people are pretending.
combine that with the fact that cars are only dangerous when they're coming towards you, and that's where they make the least amount of relative noise. All this would do is cut down on stupid blind people from being hit by electric cars...and still getting hit by GAS cars.
This is just another political agenda of a politician or two wanting to push easy feel good laws through to bolster their career, at the expense of rational and sensible legislation.
I used to have a 911 Turbo...and man, that thing was great. It had a very low rumble with the Borla exhaust..going through parking decks was fun when it would set off numerous car alarms that were set too sensitive, and God help you if I was going under a bridge or the like and the turbo kicked in...I've had pedestrians diving for the sides of the road not knowing what it was.
We should really have a name for people like you who are so thrilled with making loud noises.
I'm assuming because this is being proposed by the same people who have watched the entire print newspaper industry slide down the toilet, while scratching their heads and wondering why, that this will fail miserably.
Let's see...limited distribution to ipad only, paid subscription for same content people can get free elsewhere, combined with generally being a dumb idea. what could go wrong?
There may be some case made for outrage here, but "privacy" is a word that's getting a bit overused. Privacy actually means something, and stuff you do in public isn't it.
it wasn't visible to "the world to see", it was visible to neighbours and people walking by. _Now_ it's visible to "the world to see". Surely you can see the difference
it was also visible to every car that drove by on the street. You seem to be arguing that privacy is a matter of scale, when this person already demonstrated she was uninterested in laundry privacy to the amount it's POSSIBLE to demonstrate it.
You want to learn about security. There is nothing good about IPv6-NAT, and security through obscurity isn't security.
There's a lot more to NAT than security. You might want to read up on it.
And anyway, IPv6 addresses are ugg-ly.
Learn DNS. You should only be looking at a IPv6 address if you are a network engineer.
You do know where you are right? "only if you are a network engineer" is going to be a significant part of the Slashdot population. Also, "learning DNS" without learning the underlying protocol (IPv6) is not learning anything, you're just using an app.
Knowing how to use a keyboard or some basic knowledge of the web are valuable skills for just about everybody, not just computer scientists.
This is a fair criticism. Teaching "typing" is not "computer science", it's typing. Back when I was in high school we learned touch typing on IBM selectric typewriters. Were we really learning CS? Does it become CS just because it's on a PC?
It might be legitimate to have these type classes in a CS course of study, and in fact typically ARE. It would be overly pedantic to take issue with application classes having a CS designation (i.e. CS101), but in a microcosm, they're at the fringe of CS in much the same way Stephen King is "american literature".
sigh...yet another article about how the poor little girls are being poorly served because they just don't want to do hard stuff like math or programming.
Look, we get it...but stop complaining that the whole world needs to change to make things different for women. Women are as free to choose education and career paths as men are, the fact that they don't do so isn't a fault of society, it's a free will choice. I get sick to death of hearing how terrible it is that young women are allowed to choose for themselves, but are choosing incorrectly.
Try renting it. Try buying it. Go on, I'll wait. Oh, you can only get it on E-Bay, for over $100? Yeah, the Mouse took it off the market.
Interestingly you are correct. I got it from netflix only a few months ago, watched and returned it. Now it's unavailable.
I wouldn't subscribe motives any more sinister than "new remastered release coming" combined with "missed marketing boat of timing BEFORE new movies released" though.
And yes, the original was AWESOMELY bad. bad effects and bad acting aside, the story is summed up as "guy sucked into computer, must walk to tower and insert disk to win".
Amazing how corporations will justify whatever they want.
Because people are not given a choice but to work in less space, they therefore say that they don't need it or want it.
Question: did they ask the workers (really ask them...anonymously)?.02

This is strikingly similar to the attitude a previous CTO of mine expressed when we were remodeling workspaces (yes, the CTO got involved in cubicle design). His idea was "big open room, no walls, no cubicles...to foster a 'collaborative working environment'".
I tried til I was blue in the face to explain to him we don't have a business that benefits from collaboration...individuals work on individual projects mostly. He wouldn't listen.
After the remodel, and the office sounded like a bus station caffeteria from people talking, using the phone, typing, meetings (nope, no meeting rooms either), etc, most people you'd see would have headphones on to block out the noise. The CTO, he just went into his office and kept the door closed.
Give me a $10 million film that shows me something new ("Equilibrium", anyone) any day of the week..
Ok, I was with you right up until you called Equilibrium "new".
Unless by "new" you mean instead of plagiarizing a previous movie, they produced a montage of plagerism on a scale never before seen in a motion picture. They managed to rip off: 1984, Farenheit 451, The Matrix, A Brave New World, and Logans Run...all in one movie.
That's not to say it was a bad movie, I liked it a LOT...but it was as far from original as you can get.

Loud pipes save lives.
No, loud pipes serve the childish "hey everybody look at me!" fantasies of childish riders.
Loud pipes are only truly audible to people BEHIND the bike, not the people in front who are likely to be a danger to the rider.

Not always; consider the red light district in Amsterdam. Photographs are strictly prohibited and you'd find yourself in a good deal of trouble.
congratulations, you've found a corner case that it's completely irrelevant and ridiculous. oh, wait...
