Way back in college, a review of a friend's OS class project code revealed the following line in a long list of, otherwise seriously documented, task scheduler variable declarations:
unsigned int slice;/* A new fruit-flavored drink. */
[ And, this guy finished his semester project over a weekend. ]
As for accountability, tasers have ID tags that identify the officer that discharged them and much like the discharge of firearms they should complete reports after every incident and upon injury or death there should be a departmental review process that investigates the officers' actions as to how the situation was handled and how it could be better handled in the future. If the officer was found to be negligent or derelect in their duties, disciplinary action should be taken.
DARPA is obviously seeing if they can do it. The end goal is probably to get chips manufactured for the rest of the world that the US Govt can disable at will -- something like GPS Selective Availability.
develop... computing systems with memories that retain information even after the power is off, so there's no wait for the system to boot up after turning the computer on.... create systems with some of the pattern-matching abilities of the human brain.
As far as I know, human brains don't retain much information when the power is turned off and there's usually some trouble after the power is restored. Furthermore, I'm not sure how power-down information retention relates to pattern-matching abilities.
But what to I know, I had my brain off last night.
A 2005 analysis performed by McDevitt (while he was still on the White House Staff) found over 700 days with e-mails apparently missing from the "journaling" archives, including 12 days in which all e-mails from the president's immediate office were missing, and 16 days when all e-mails from the Vice President's office were missing.
Hmmm... How much crap did Nixon get for losing 18.5 minutes of audio tape? Maybe it's just me, but the email thing sounds way, way worse.
Let me be the first to ask the submitter: What are you talking about Willis? Put down the hashpipe, get out of your parent's basement for a spell, enjoy the fresh air and learn about products vs. companies.
Those are all good technical reasons to not use ReiserFS, but many comments (to which I was responding) are proposing not using it because either the author (allegedly?) killed his wife, or will now be in jail - and presumably won't be able to maintain the code:-)
I can understand if people are not comfortable with using ReiserFS in light of what has happened.
Not criticizing the parent, but I don't really understand this sentiment. For example, Hitler proposed and helped design the Volkswagon Did Hitler really invent the Volkswagen?, yet we still drive them.
...Windows Vista's newly-implemented security limitations are artificial at best, easy to code around, and only there to give the impression of security...
Sounds like it was written by Homeland Security and the TSA.
Computers purchased with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate past June 30 will come with a copy of XP Pro.
Sigh. This will probably make MS happy as it will boost the Vista sales stats - especially since the two Vista "versions" listed are the most expensive.

I think Robin Williams said that the Platypus was proof that even God likes to get high.
Newest entry on US no-fly list: Brewster Kahle
Warning: Mixing "Star Wars" and "Wizard of Oz" references may cause head to explode. I.e., "Toto, I've a feeling we're not on Tatooine anymore."
More to the point. If someone uses it "right" and hurts someone...

There, fixed that for you.
My excitement at the words "quickie" and "sticky" used together waned with the reading of the Summary and TFA. Damn you /., damn you to hell.
Did she ask the state to search for her husband? If so, then a bill may be appropriate, otherwise "Thank you for the gift, Mr. Governor".
My bad. Further research reveals that in Soviet Russia, you actaully have to re-assemble them yourself.
I think not, but I hear that in Soviet Russia, robots re-assemble you.

Seriously, friends don't let friends play video games drunk. Stay in school.
No, I meant my brain was really OFF. I'm a Zombie.

Rubbish! It's The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief that will prevent further space exploration.

It's "whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis".
For the original, I'd agree, but please turn in your Scrubs card:

Ironically, all 17 people have GEICO for their auto insurance.
We should let the RIAA take them down for this one.
