If we put a series of LED lights along the length of the plane and turn them off and on to produce streaks of lights running from nose to tail, it will interrupt their visual cues and make the plane stand out from the background.
Plus they'll look way awesomer at night when flying over my house.
I don't think this is going to work because although these people are the top in their fields, it doesn't make them good teachers, which is important if you're paying $25,000 for a 10 day course.
The $25k experience is the 9-week course, not the 10-day.
Then again, no one has said if they're going 5 days a week for the full 9 weeks or if it's a 2 or 3 day a week thing.
Also, professing or lecturing != teaching. My college professors made sure to emphasize this a lot.
That is going to make it slightly difficult to travel by air, which is where most laptops are lost/stolen anyway. Thus, partially eliminating the need for the C4 brick.
I've never worked tech support for someone else, but I have worked tech support for my own company. My tech support cost was part of the initial sale so I, essentially, got paid zero dollars an hour to sit on the phone.
That's also why I got out and became an engineer.
"when you call in you are bothering the other person on the other end as well" ???
I love a system where someone's "bothered" to do their job. It's the very reason people get paid to work.
Indiana's reluctance to switch with the rest of the world is mainly due to the extreme lack of progress, morelike fear of progress, that grips the people of this fine state.
As a resident of Indiana for 21 years, I feel liberated not to have to mess with all 7 clocks in my life. Only 3 of the 7 clocks I use are even capable of self-adjusting to DST (and one that does it anyway, so I have to reset it to the right time...but different story). Someone tell me what is actually so great about DST? How does pretending save anything? Hell, I can pretend it's January right now. That's not going to change the fact that it's 90 degrees.
Being able to see the code gives attackers a practically clear window into the guts of any network relying on that software. More eyes means more vulnerabilities found, so the network is actually safer because all these holes are known, if not by the security companies themselves, by the attackers who attempt to exploit the bugs.
While I agree that open source is good stuff, your logic is retarded. You basically state that if the vulnerability is known by the attacker and not security companies that there is nothing to worry about. What you meant to say is that there are enough freelance coders out there that check the code and are responsible enough to report exploits to the proper distribution channels.
Not sure if you meant to be funny, but yes. That is your proof that you are registered with Selective Service. Without it, I believe you are subject to fines and/or imprisionment (if ever caught). Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Probably the closest thing the US has to a citizen ID is the Selective Service registration card. IIRC, only us male citizens are to have these cards. Obviously this does no good for female citizens, but us guys can get home nice and easy.
Thermaltake's line of cases are awesome. I built a system using the XaserIII early last year, and it has been awesome for me. The case ships with 7 case fans and I now have a total of 12 fans running inside it. For those of you concerned about loudness, the loudest one is the fan on my northbridge (which is not that loud). The case has plenty of room for expansion. It is also built extremely durably. It has shipped back and forth from college to home twice (two round trips) and is still in perfect condition. If Thermaltake's styles don't catch you, look to Antec. They have some amazing cases as well.
If you RTFA you will see they are talking about FLASH MEMORY. I've never seen anyone use their flash drives as their RAM. Do you know why this is? Because flash memory is far to slow to be used as RAM.
I agree. A good test would be to do some graphic animation rendering. I dabbled in animation in high school and we had a scene that took both our computer labs (2.0 GHz, 512MB RAM, not bad for the time) over 18 hours to render. The scene was only 30 seconds long. I would be really interested to see how the P-M does with rendering.
The simpliest definition of "dirty power" that I can think of is unreliable power. It could have spikes, lulls, outages, or any number of other power issues. This is just information I've taken off of APC posters we have plasterd around our campus.

Quick correction. The driver gets a full 2 minutes this year as opposed to the 1:45 of the previous years. As a driver/operator under the old rules (pre-autonomous) I find that to be a huge advantage. 15 seconds may not sound like a lot, but it really is when you have so many tasks to do.
Money to send to Iraq?
Iraq was the biggest waste of man-hours and money this country has ever done. If invading Iraq was such a good thing, why are our soldiers still being killed even after their "Dictator" was taken out or power??? Far fewer people have been killed (worldwide) in space travel than soldiers (on both sides) in this stupid Iraqi war.
If you're waiting until you NEED to upgrade, you should upgrade much sooner. While it is true that existing machines are capable of running most of the software out there, you have to factor in productivity. I sell custom built computers, so I see this a lot. If your machine is capable of operating faster, you aren't sitting there waiting for it to do something. In my part-time job I have an old PIII 550MHz laptop. True it runs Visual Studio.NET and I can get what I need done. However, I actually get more done by leaving the office, going down to the lab, and using the P4 2.4GHz machines (including factoring in the walk time (initial time and each time I need something from my office)).
To anyone who says I need to upgrade, its not my laptop and I'm not in charge of purchasing for that office. If I was, I would.
I disagree. I led Team 292 PantherTech to 3 Regional wins and a division win at Nationals in 2003. I graduated from the same high school a year before and came back to lead the team. We didn't have a single engineer to help us. The whole robot design, strategy, and practices were designed and ran by students. Some of the bigger teams that have loads of money and tons of engineers with very complex robots were helpless to stop us. (Only a battery problem and another awesome robot (Team 25) was able to stop us from winning Nationals.)

Parent refers to i86 not x86. i86 refers to the Itanium platform, which many programmers hate. It is very doubful that x86 will die anytime soon.
The capsule landed where it did because of the fault plans in the mission. Any re-entry mission has a backup landing site. Or a site where it is expected to crash if something goes wrong. They timed the re-entry so that it fell in a non populated area. The crash was not a mishap. The mishap was not triggering the pyros. The crash was a back up plan.
