Everyone here has mentioned the two obvious professions that one can go into with these two degress, IT Admin and Programmer from a CIS and CS degree respectively. But at my job we probably higher just as many, if not more, product testers than we do product developers. As a product tester you get to do a lot of system administration work setting up mock customer installations with every possible host/device configuration you can try and think of. You have access to the latest and coolest software that you'll anticipate a customer having, and you'll also have more opportunity to write automation code. Nothings worse than releasing a new build to test and not getting any idea back about basic functionality for a few days as people hand test components. Anyways, for something like product test you're probably better off with a CS or EE degree. You'll absolutely need either a EE or CS to do development, but anyone can go do IT with any of the three degrees.
This is particularly interesting to myself since I'm in the midst of working one of our companies products to be "IPv6 Ready" logo certified and DoD approved for their new buying cycle next year (which I am told all products must be to be on the "list"). I wonder if this will push that deadline back any...
TFA seems surprised by SATA drives lasting as long as Fibre...why one earth would your data interface have any consequences on the drive internals? Or are we talking assuming Interface = Data Throughput?
I can see how even though it wasn't intentional charges could be brought up. You even mentioned it yourself...recklessness. If I left a hot iron from doing my laundry on the child's seat and he came into class and sat on it...even though I didn't intend for him to sit on the hot iron, I was being reckless and I think you'd agree I would be at fault.
Now if the pop-ups were truly an affect of visiting a website, then the website that was visited should be taken into account. Was it reasonable for the teacher to be visiting said website in a school? If not, then she was being reckless. 40 years in jail reckless? I think not...but reckless.
I have only one hold out personally for the Imperial System and that's the measure of temperature. Celsius is all fine and good when using it in a scientific scope, but when talking about the weather, the units are TOO big. The difference between 12C and 13C is too great.
A degree in Fahrenheit is about the right size when thinking if something is hot or cold. It may just be my lack of thinking about the temperature outside in Celsius, but being comfortable with both measurements, Fahrenheit allows me to predict a little better what it will feel like when I walk out the door.
They do teach metric in schools. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that I learned more about the metric system in an American school than I did about the Imperial system. I still have to google "1 Quart to Cups", or "1 Cup to Ounces" while reading recipes.
Give it another few years, and everyone still living in the U.S. probably already has a very strong understanding of the metric system since that's what they teach in school. I don't think you'll find much opposition once the older generation starts to trickle off.
The UK government should just begin introducing km signs to replace old ones.
Wouldn't that be confusing...when I know all I look at is the big ass number on the sign. If you started intermixing MpH and KmpH I think you're asking for trouble.
The PowerPC is the "controller" for the 7 Cell processors. The Cell's have a very limited capability, from the looks of it mainly floating point arithmetic. However, they need something to send them work...they can't function as a full CPU on their own.
I suspect that the delay that the light gets by having to travel a farther distance than the light around the object is so small that you wouldn't notice strange behaviors from objects passing behind the cloaked object. However I'm sure electronics would be able to detect it and thus only make this useful against the human eye and low quality cameras.
ummmm...i don't know what statistics class you took, but in mine every time you eliminate a possibility the likeliness of finding a collision would be greater than the previous since there are a finite amount of possibilities.
unless of course you are writing your algorithim to re-try already run values in the possibility that they will magically work later in the day?
I actually just got my BS in CS about 3 weeks ago...with a rather mediocre GPA in fact (damn sociology class!). I'll let you know if there is any reason to take this with more than a grain of salt.

At my job we have a strict "Patch and Release" policy enforced.

dang, I only got to 12% of the first DVD before it hit slashdot...thought I might get away painless.

It's called Halo2
so...you're saying to leave it on the neighbor's doorstep and run...?
"Commercial World": Starring Devon...err so I've heard...
