Check those out - their mobile hard-drives come in USB 2.0 and FW/USB2.0 flavors. I own a USB2.0 drive, but I saw the FW model in my local Apple store - looks identical, utilises 6-pin cable, light and gorgeous.
Also, on their web-page you can find all the dimensions and other specs - check it out, highly recommend.
Slightly off-topic, perhaps, but I'm very curious:
I thought that the credit info was stored in the bank where you get your card from, and in the few credit reporting agencies in the country of credit?.. So, does it mean that your credit history does follow you around the world after all?..
Managers vs. techies. A manager - especially a senior one - doesn't necesserily have to have tech expertise. His job is to manage people, to stir direction, to oversee.
Would you really expect Martin himself to ssh into servers and tweak apache.conf? Probably not. Nor should he. He is apparently intelligent enough to get the bird's view of the picture, and he admits that he's more concerned with the customer's POV than with the industry's one.
As for the deeper view - I completely agree. There's always the bird and the egg question. However, again, Martin's job is to evaluate what out there now. Redesigning to OS is hardly in his job description...
At the several schools that I'm familiar with, Blackboard is utilised for 10% of its features at most. Sure, it's not the most elegant software ever, but if teachers refuse to use it, and students don't really care, then there's more to it than just software itself.
If you're talking about IT students here, give them more hands-on labs - live network equipment, servers, etc.
If you're talking about liberal arts crowd, just give them more bandwidth, and perhaps a nice online e-library. The Movable Type licenses sound cool.
Overall, more bandwidth and better administration... Things like streaming video classes would be cool, yeah... And I'm sure you can implement a load of nice geeky features, but it would take geeks to use them.
From Internet Archive: click on the "Accreditation" link on top of the page.
Accreditation
Trinity Southern University and their associates support efforts worldwide of educators that strive to improve delivery and content of education this century. Prior learning assessments are thought by some to be significantly changing higher education, it is not a new phenomenon.
Trinity Southern University has been accreditated by the National Association of Prior Learning Assessment Colleges.
Why, but that's splendid! Noteworthy is that Google has no idea of such an association, but hey...
Here is the hitch, though: this is pretty normal rhethoric for many common "business" schools. You actually expect this kind of stuff when you go to school with philosophy, "I give you my money, give me my diploma and don't bug me with all that studying stuff."
I came to U.S. for education... Was I disappointed.
OK, so let's see. Someone installs WinXP dll's on Win2K machines. Hmm, I wonder, how come those don't boot now?..
It's true that Microsoft's robustness is rather mirage-like, but there's a thing called human error, and that can bring down any system. All the software did was follow human instructions, after all: that's why we need IT people with brains to decide who is doing what.
However, PXE boot and a server with HDD images ready would've been helpful...
Good point. Globalization is here, and it is actually a really good thing for virtually everyone.
There is plenty of reactionary opposition in virtually any "western" country around the world; same applies for the ex-USSR countries. It's likely that nothing can be done about those people; but when students pick up the same reactionary banners, I start to wonder...
I, for one, am learning Chinese. Hopefully, me and my partnet are going there in a few years...
The timing begins when the number becomes visible to the competitor and ends at the end of writing the answer.
Which means, that out of those 11.38 sec, he actually had to spend some time writing (or dictating) that answer. Which means that calculation took even less than that.
Looking at those screenshots, it's interesting how the installer, for instance, is essentially copied from RedHat. I suppose that's the pleasure of OSS - you can take the best of what's around, and if you know a better way to put it all together - do it.
yeah... and GEclipse. and GMatLab. and GiTunes. and.... GICan'tBelieveIt'sNotButter. GWholeSaleStoreChain.
come on, Google is a company that was built around know-how in the field of search. it's a modern maxima in the world of business: great companies are great because they stick to their niche, to the something that they know better than anyone else. If you diversify out of your depth, you'll a) waste valuable resources, and b) undermine your company's reputation.
Microsoft is trying to be everywhere at once, and thus produces rather unrefined products. Google so far has been concentrated on a pretty narrow field - it should stay that way.
