Car manufactuers have actually gone through great pains to make cars tolerant of not having their oil changed for 50,000+ miles. You shouldn't actually try this, because damage to the engine will occur.
A PhD has earned the title 'doctor.' Without passing his state's qualifying examination, even a PhD has not earned the title 'engineer'. You might want to sue the ancient Egyptians, but our laws are not retroactive.
Do you claim that misrepresentation of your professional status is not unethical?
"Engineer" is a professional title, much like "Doctor". Do you think people who haven't completed their M.D. examinations should call themselves doctors? Do you think people who haven't completed their Bar exams should call themselves lawyers?
It took me a while to grok them, but only because I was thinking about computation in terms of the classical models. I asked, "What do pointers give me that plain old recursive functions don't?" and couldn't find an answer.
Then again, you don't want to try to Godel-number a complex data structure and do computations based on that. Icky.
Actually, the real solution is to keep booting information on a flash chip with a physical switch to change it from read only to read/write. Putting up more layers of abstraction is just going to hurt performance while prolonging this game of cat and mouse, as each layer will have vulnerabilities of its own.
Their purposes are clearly stated in their charter. Feel free to look it up, and reply with a report on what you find. (I honestly don't know, but I suspect it isn't as clear cut as "making profits")
Yup. All you need to do is come up with a list of required features or goals, come up with sub-goals necessary to meet those, and figure out the dependencies between them. If you know your subordinates, you should be able to come up with a realistic estimate for how long it will take to meet those goals. Try to overestimate the time necessary, instead of underestimating it.
Scheduling is a mathematically hard problem, but it's usually easier than chess.
BitTorrent, and volunteers. If you go this route, don't get a super fat pipe. Get something comprable to what your volunteers are using, or you'll end up serving most of the content yourself.
Knowledge isn't just justified true belief. Read the section on "Gettier Cases" in the Wikipedia epistemology article. Or better yet, check out plato.stanford.edu.
Indeed, the best idea I've heard so far. Make sure that Alesis understands that you're doing this in good faith -- i.e., not trying to extort a job out of them. You can worry about a public release later, assuming you aren't asked to sign an NDA.
Very interesting. Your post lead me to consider a line of thought I hadn't before. Let's suppose that we're currently at peak oil. Then there will be a gradual decline in oil availability, and increases in price, until it just isn't available anymore. Thus we'll have to gradually switch to a new form of energy production.
Now, the interesting question. Are there any climate models that predict what might happen with regards to global warming in such a case?
A lot of otherwise great labels are affiliated with the RIAA. Depressingly, Blue Note is. Do you claim that Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman aren't real "musicians"?
Was Jimi Hendrix not a "musician"? How about Iggy Pop? The members of Can? Or the Velvet Underground? Is Tom Waits a "musician"?
If you don't think so, you're ignoring some of the best music ever recorded.
Reagent grade anhydrous alcohol is not intentionally denatured. It happens during distillation, and cleaning up the mess past 95% purity is prohibitively expensive.

They also have a great article on karma whoring.
How do you deal with kerning? Just a bunch of conditionals in your script?

I hear that the Canadians are hiring Cisco and Google to build another Great Firewall. The Great Firewall of Canada.

Otherwise, calling yourself an engineer is unethical and often illegal.
As opposed to what?
It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to encode an alphanumeric string to a sequence of numbers, concatenate, and sort those.

They still sell those old albums, you know. So giving up RIAA artists means giving up 40 years of great music.
Indeed, or Mac OS 9. Or any operating system for which Google Desktop search doesn't work. Brilliant!

You seem to be living in a world where you believe any points you have to make are relevant to the discussion at hand.
I'm afraid they aren't. Welcome to reality. Get used it it. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
See, anyone can be a condescending little shit.

You can get apt to compile everything if you really really want to. Few see the point in doing so.
