As a graduate student of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville (this is really about the Fayetteville campus only for now...), I have to say that so far the conversion has been seemless. I had heard about this but didn't know how far along it was, to know that it is DONE amazes me. For all intents and purposes, nothing changed...except saving $500,000 per month for the school.
Once they completely finish the 802.11 campus-wide network, this will actually be a decent campus, technology wise.
I'm betting that SHOULD be 10 to 20 petabytes. 10 to 20 terabytes isn't actually all that much, Maxtor has 300 gigabyte drives out. A very simple array could be built that is easily 10-20 terabytes.
As bad for the environment as coal is, it is currently a necessary evil. Telemarketing is not.
If tomorrow there was NO more coal/coal miners we would be up the proverbial creek, if telemarketing were to die overnight the only people harmed would be the people that chose a fairly risky and stupid profession in the first place and the companies who can't sell their products in a store or through more typical advertisement. Good riddance to them both.
Who decides who is a trouble maker though? Think about that for a while and see just how much of a sliding scale a system like this can have once in place.
I can't believe they would name it Vigilence. Is this some sort of joke???
I can think of 20 Orwellian references (in addition to the obvious ones actually written by Orwell) in mainstream media tying that particular word promenently to very bad Big Brother things.
"Most people are willing to give up a bit of anonymity for safety" Owen Cameron, co-owner of the creator of this monstrosity. Unfortunately, he is right. What they don't understand is just HOW MUCH anonymity they are giving up for such a SMALL bit of safety. Stupid, stupid people...
Lay off the ketamine for a second and re-word that...
For the most part, magazines such as S.A., New Scientist, etc "paraphrase" the work presented in journals such as Nature or Science. While it may take a while for something to be peer-review and printed in a journal, it isn't really considered all that trustworthy until it is.
There are occasions where huge papers "debut" in a peer reviewed journal at the same time as a corresponding article in one of the mainstream science mags, but it was definitely the journal article which came "first."
Of course, that may have been exactly what you said...I just couldn't understand what you were saying.
No, but that is his point... The article says that the Mac on test boots faster than previous Apples, so must be faster than the fastest x86 box. At no point does the article actually COMPARE the two, except in the closing statement...
I thought most geeks built their own PCs or atleast bought them white box...
They ended up buying them a damned Pavilion, my BB has quite a few PCs I would buy before I bought ANYTHING from HP.
While we are at it, why buy them both a Powerbook and a P4 desktop system? They should have either stuck with x86 hardware all the way through or went completely Mac. Having two different systems is going to end up confusing them needlessly.
Beer SHOULDN'T have maltose...wort definitely, beer no (or at least such a very small amount that you could say none). Afterall, like you said, maltose is a very quickly digested sugar but that also applies to yeast. The majority of the carbohydrates in a beer come from dextrins or other starches, not simple sugars.
I would think that most "pornmonger" types DON'T have the neon signs...more likely they don't tell anyone in the real world and possibly not even anyone in the virtual world...
In order... yes, but very rarely. metal plates? You mean the hinges? Nope, they are just brass-looking metal. None of the books on my bookshelf do, all are academic books for the classes I've recently completed or paperback novels. Personally I hate hardcover novels...that's just me, I think the average person likes them better.
Disregarding the above, I was trying to prove the point that not EVERYTHING is made of plastic or contains plastic.
As someone who utterly loves IMDB, I completely agree with your assessment of the forums. Sometimes when checking out the info on a movie or actor/actress I accidently see the titles of the last few postings to that particular discussion and immediately loose a few IQ points. It generally takes a few days to return to normal (in the case of T3, I wandered around aimlessly in the woods for a month...so you might want to be even more careful)
That's very true...I didn't actually see the originating post (below my threshold) but instead saw only your quote of it so didn't know it came from an AC.
That taken into consideration, you may be right...I DESPERATELY hope you aren't, but you may be...

I'm guessing you live in California, where it is a BAD idea to spend $4 million ONCE to save $500,000 a MONTH.
Oh, and remember, this is a University not a business, so they will definitely be around long enough to see the return on their investment.
Maybe you should get a bit of "number learnin'" yourself.

For now...Once the system is in place and has "been shown how well it reduces crime" it will start showing up in other places.

We all have moments like that :)

Learn to fucking read.
Since when?
I thought most geeks built their own PCs or atleast bought them white box...

"Mod up, not down" in action...
BUT he was saying it is worthless to compile the kernel if it wasn't GCC compatible...not worthless in general because of GCC or something.
Definitely should have RTFA...Motorola has made MANY different CPU architectures, several of which were 16-bit.
Third-generation Motorola 68HCS12 16-bit processor @ 25 MHz.
FPGA with graphics processing unit.
Socket for additional 65816 CPU (high-speed, 16-bit 6502 CPU).
Beer SHOULDN'T have maltose...wort definitely, beer no (or at least such a very small amount that you could say none).

I know what it is...what I was refering to was that the synopsis says "unchartered" not uncharted...
So the Tasmanian sea doesn't lease itself out too much?
I'm thinking that should be uncharted, as in no charts have been drawn up mapping it...
In order...
yes, but very rarely.

I know, I know...I was just pointing you that not "EVERYTHING" is made of plastic.
My pants are entirely plastic free, as is my broom, my doors, all the books on my shelf, virtually all the mail I get, and my cat (debatable).

I would guess that the Saturn V launches would be the largest ever. I'm not well versed on Russian rocketry though (or US for that matter).

I'm guessing you didn't notice the sarcasm dripping from that statement???
