RIT is neither smaller nor cheaper. We have 15,000+ students paying out $32,000+ a year. The big difference between the two colleges is that RIT is mainly a teaching school, whereas MIT places a larger emphasis on research. Not that freshmen will be doing research assignments when they arrive at MIT, but the general mood carries down through the professors and there is noticeable difference in how things run.
Regardless, my best advice is to go somewhere you think you will have fun as an undergrad, and then look into MIT when you figure out what you'd like a graduate degree in.
Aside from the conspiracy theories of student informants or government intervention, they could have simply gone to an I2 campus with open WiFi access. Once you're on the i2hub, its all a matter of logging IPs.
You just cant keep 100 TB of files "hidden" for all that long. Considering all the press it got last year, I'm surprised it has even lasted even this long.
Also, don't forget our friends in the MPAA. In a short post by the author of the news.com.com article: "According to the RIAA, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) will be announcing similar action later today."
In case you don't read the article, here are the universities in question: Boston University, Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Drexel University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, New York University, Ohio State University, Princeton University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, University of California at San Diego, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, University of Pittsburgh and the University of Southern California. Go RIT!
Yeah, it would be nice if this research filtered into the Navy's IT-21 and NMCI initiatives. I can't say I really consider Windows 2000 to be "21st century technology."
The only problem I see is that we're about ninety years short of the Navy starting work on an IT-22 project.
Whether MAME trademarked the acronym or not, the logo that Ultracade wants to use is a straight copy off the official MAME logo. Can't it at least be argued that the original MAME image was copyrighted, and Ultracade is infringing on that by attempting to trademark it?
Rules of grammar are rarely obeyed. Many leetspeekers will capitalize every letter except for vowels (LiKe THiS) and otherwise reject conventional English style and grammar.
Heh, yeah. Given all the different political agendas out there, I can sometimes envision a nation where it will be illegal to own violent video games, but perfectly okay to own and use assault weapons.
Violence and vandalism are somehow more acceptable to some people than their virtual counterparts.
Additionally, if you're new to the whole ocremix scene, I'd recommend checking out this remix.
Jeremy Soule, the man behind other notable game soundtracks such as Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, and Morrowind, put together a very nice arrangement of one of Nobuo Uematsu's works. In a geeky sort of way, its pretty cool to see one good composer pay this sort of homage to another.
That's always been my philosophy. If someone can remove the two-dozen cables plugged into my PC, dislodge it from the pile of crap it's under, and heft the 49 lb. monitor out of my room without anyone noticing, they deserve to keep it.
That being said, I'm not a complete retard, and I also choose to lock the door when I'm out.
Speaking of VOIP, did anyone else catch the press release on Linksys' website yesterday?
Linksys and Vonage have apparently got together to better take a stab at getting VOIP in homes. They just relased two new products, the PAP2 and the RT31P2, both of which are to retail below $100 (before the inevitable rebates).
I agree. There should be a bit of clarification between AM (amplitude modulation) and the region of the electromagnetic spectrum where you tend to find talk radio. If it were all AM frequencies to blame, then this study should have taken a look at airports and commercial pilots. They commonly use AM radio for communication around 120-127 MHz.
Hm... $12.5 billion can buy about 925 million 12-packs of bottled Guinness Draught. At the 5 cent per bottle recycling rate in NY state, that would net about $555 million.
The moral of the story: beer is always a safer investment than struggling dotcoms.
Does this mean that we can finally get rid of annoying antenna connector types such as RP-SMA and RP-TNC that were originally devised just to make it a pain in the ass to switch out factory antennas? I'd much rather be able to mix and match antennas and cables that can be easily found at local HAM shops.
Just to lay everyone's fears at rest I will find a fair way of making source code available to subscribers at no charge via the Internet. It is unfortunate that some folks need to make things difficult for everyone but with a little ingenuity we can hamstring the troublemakers without harming the majority. I will have a solution by Monday available to all subscribers.
I will leave the announcement about the $50 USD charge up. Anyone coming in externally demanding source will have to fork over the distribution and shipping fee.
From the article:
"Looking at the results, it appears that Tiger is as fast (if not faster) than Panther in all areas except for UI performance."
His numbers show Tiger barely edging out Panther, using Xbench (a purely synthetic benchmark) as the test basis.
I've tried Tiger out on my G4 powerbook, and have actually noticed a *decrease* in Xbench ratings, despite an overall "snappier" feel. Maybe the increase isn't really going to happen for those without 64 bit machines. Then again, its a pre-relase, so there is plenty of room for change.
You also have to consider that we may have evolved to a state of relative immunity to the effects of these microbes. For the same reasons you can't stick an 8-track tape in a CD player, it could just be a moot point overall.
"A pulsed DC signal or AC signal may be used as the power source. By using multiple power supply signals of differing frequencies, different devices can be selectively powered"
What they're doing is more than running straight DC/AC through the human body. That old experiment where everyone holds hands and touches Van De Graff generators relies on static electricity, as well as a modest attempt to complete a circuit. The patent seems to describe how to to get power through the body (not just over, like static electricity), without having the benefit of having a "ground." It also describes methods of sustaining different power requirements for different devices by modifying the frequency at which the power is pulsed. Cool stuff indeed.
Borg coments aside, I'd love to see this work. Turning the human skin into a data path has wonderful medical applications. Imagine being able to monitor pacemakers, hearing aids, and other prosthetic devices non-invasively.
Furthermore, this could open up the prospect of "implants" to help humans with different things. If Microsoft can really get data and power running through the human body, it could really usher in a new age of computing.

Who didn't see it coming? It was bound to happen.

Go RIT!
Yeah, because after the first 600 GHz, the next 400 GHz are a piece of cake.
Anyone else notice the The Magic Supersecret Anagram T-Shirt that is on sale?
It says "Fake Ghostlike Photons" on the front, which apparently is an anagram for something that won't be revealed until tomorrow.
So far, my best guess is: Fools Shop at Think Geek

Yeah, apparently having a DNS hostname is now a security feature. Who knew?
God help him if IPv6 rolls around...
I download the software again (this time coming from -- I kid you not! -- a convoluted string of hexidecimal characters [...]

No... not really. You can put up any form of wireless access point in your dorm/apartment . The only deal is that they will not support it at all in the event problems arise.

Actually, cuddly hippy people are the ones most likely to name their children something like Rain, Stone, Storm, or Sunbird.

Personally, I would have capitalized the letters... then beaten whoever is responsible for this with a hockey stick.

Apple implements Xfree86 4.3.0 for both Tiger and Panther. As far as I can tell, they seem to be running comparably.

Yeah... read the patent next time.
