Hmm. Do these work with the Android's marketplace? If so, what are the chances of this working on an N900 (which apparently has very similar hardware to some android phones)?
I don't really see a problem with that. You wouldn't use Notepad for a mission-critical editing, why would you use W32Time for mission-critical timing?
Time synchronisation is crucial to Active Directory security (since it uses kerberos). In fact, I think a major part of joining windows desktops to a windows server/domain is that they all start syncing time.
While I think that's a bit extreme, I think you and the GP are both on to the right track. I think stocks should have a fairly short minimum hold time. A day would probably be fine, just something such that you aren't trying to gamble with them more or less, because that's why high speed day trading really is. It is gambling in every way that Vegas is.
What does timespan have to do with it? Surely if something is unethical to do over an hour, it's unethical to do over a day or a week, or six months. The problem is that people are trying to make profit based on financial patterns, rather than trying to build products and services that help others.
Apparently it cost the city 200,000 dollars they wouldn't have had to spend. He caused a trial that cost more money.
No. He stood up for the right thing, and the stupid corporate types above him didn't like it, so they abused their power and public funds to crush him.
I think it's more like "Joey, play the big grown up corporation-boy yet slightly threatening-son card and make mummy give you toy so you can give it to charity, but then beat my enemy, Susie, with it, and I'll bring you a lifetime supply of cigarettes. You like cigarettes, don't you Joey? Think carefully before you say anything other than Yes, Uncle Softie"
Yes. Little did the public know that the earlier SCO was forked just before the court cases. When SCO died, SCO@r23 simple took its place. SCO@r23 was in fact identical to SCO though, and few** were any the wiser, since SCO's development had stalled at the age of 4.
** I had to sleep with Darl's wife to get this information. I am not proud of it. Also, note that his wife was NOT currently, and in fact had never been forked. At least, not until I slept with her. I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I'm sure it'll come out in future SCO divorce ligitation anyway.
The 8086 and the MSDOS legacy made more 680x0 fanboys that Motorola marketing
Well, that and the 68000 just being a really good chip in its own right. Motorola were smart enough to stick to flat memory architectures, and it had a really nice, obvious instruction set, and was powerful to boot.
Why the hate? Has anyone ever considered the potentially sad possibility that we might happen to be the most advanced civilization in the universe, or at least in this galaxy.
Considered? Yes. Shortlisted? No. One of the problems is that we're quite literally just a little bit smarter than an ape --- in fact, the least intelligent humans (read: mentally challenged) are probably less intelligent than other very smart (read: mentally gifted) primates. The other problem is simple statistical probability: we only have one sample of intelligent life so far (arguably we could include dolphins etc.), so the chances of that single sample being one of the highest is slim. Most likely, it's entirely average for intelligent life in the universe. However, we haven't taken to the stars yet, so we need to weigh the fact that those who have will likely be more gifted in some way. That's likely to be intelligence, although it could be a true gift for stealing technology, or some sort of natural insight into flight/atmospherics/rocketry. Possibly, a relatively dumb but flight-capable race might reach the stars before a relatively smart but earthbound race like ourselves.
I still don't understand the pull of fully exposing your private life on the internet for everyone to see. We have encapsulated our lives for countless generations
Which is precisely the problem. We've isolated ourselves so much that people who live next door to each other have no idea who the other person is. Your neighbor might be your soulmate (or the nearest you believe in to one), or an axe murderer, and chances are you'd never realise, either way. Compare that to a traditional, tribal community where everyone is constantly in everyone else's business, but the community feeling is strong, and people never feel too alone, at least.
We're social animals. Maybe we don't really want that privacy to hide our differences with. Maybe we just want understanding of the differences. And the internet provides that, since you can always find someone who thinks like you.
They knew it took 77 satellites for what they wanted.
Is that even a problem? There are 30 GPS satellites apparently, plans to upgrade it, and Europe wanted to launch its own alternative system too. I'm not sure if the better military GPS is using different sats currently. We've also invested in a ton of phone cell masts, satellite phones, etc. Taking an uninformed guess, might not Iridium have worked out cheaper, when the final bill was added up?
Slashdot Mirror
Jessica Alba?
That's because you spend too much time on slashdot :)
I try not to use this word much, but...
Whut?

Maybe someone should adjust its clock? ;)

...hypertext means what you think it means :)
You forgot "raped". Pretty sure that word has been tried at least once. By a politician, wasn't it?
That was kind of the point :)

Or they could just throw a chair.
Beg to differ.
TL;DR.
Besides the kick in the nuts, he was also fired.

She's slow.

You're talking as if most weapons are marketed at countries ;)

It's ironic that you would think that.
