This is slashdot, and you are calling this a technology story? This is almost as bad as Google News calling anything including a tech-based company a Science and Technology story.
In terms of performance, I'd say empirically that NetBeans is worse than Eclipse. I can't comment too much on usability, as I've used Eclipse so much that I'm used to it (I press CTRL, SHIFT + F to auto-format text when I'm writing in any other editor now). NetBeans does have better tools built in, such as support for Web Applications, which would be a big boost if these tools were made compatible across each other.
I actually didn't think this would be possible.
In Australia, when you buy mobile phone recharge (extra credit to make calls), you buy a coupon which is only activated after its brought from an authorized dealer. Once the code is used, that code is useless.
It does mean that each retailer has to have some connectivity to base office, but it stomps out generating new keys as much as you want.
Because the people that find objects just under that arbitrary size will be upset that their discovery isn't classed 'higher'.
Pluto was one of the first big finds for American Astronomers, and many thing that its classification as a planet (and the continued uproar over its declassification) is just an American power play.
I agree, experts are just as likely to disagree, especially on controversial issues.
As well as that, what constitutes an expert, and has a ranking system been setup, because I haven't got my number yet.
I would fee qualified to write an article on cluster analysis, which is a form of statistics, but not on other statistical methods. So, in order for such an expert system to be setup, either I would need to say what I'm an expert in (which would result in a situation no different from wikipedia now), or someone would need to look at all my references and decide for themselves (which is prohibitively expensive given the size and scope of an encyclopedia). So in order for it to work, you need people self-authorizing themselves to edit articles, which is exactly what wikipedia does now. Its not perfect, but its been shown by a few attempts to do the 'expert' thing that any benefits aren't worth the losses in information.
If you are using wikipedia as the only reference, you are going to get burned, much the same way as if you use anything as your only reference (big media, little media, conspiracy media, outdated books, articles that have been rebutted but remain published, websites with yellow text on a black background). Wikipedia is the starting point to learn about something, but it surely isn't the ending point.
If you read the article (which no-one ever does, but just in case you get modded insightful by a mod who didn't either), you'll see that minimum wage is a relative term.
The pool of phishing money is (more or less) static, so when more people start phishing (which happens as it becomes easier), the available money per phisher goes down until its not worth it. If this is less then the minimum wage, then people wouldn't do it, if its more, then more people do it. Hence it stabilizes around that mark. This is also one of the reasons why there are more phishers in poorer nations.
The only restrictions I would put in place would be based on the law: i.e. anything the school could be liable for, is banned.
Past that, provide a quick and simple way to reimage the laptops and let the kids go wild. Of course, you must make sure that your school network isn't stupid enough so that, when (not if) these laptops come back with viruses, they can't spread and destroy the network.
I'd clarify this by saying just to get a lawyer at the start to organize a 'standard contract', which means you don't need the lawyers involved for every little job.
Other then that, follow the parent's advice: Make sure the contract says exactly what you will and won't do DO NOT take a job where the client doesn't give solid, complete answers to your questions. Google 'scope creep', or learn the hard way yourself.
Make sure you track your time, not only for your clients, but also so you can learn to judge how long it takes you to complete a project. That skill is invaluable and will save you from many nightmares in the future.
I have emailed Rudd and told him that: That if this filter goes ahead as is, he loses my vote next election. Labour is a safe seat where I live and otherwise, I'm very pro-Rudd, but this is potentially a step too far.
Wow. Not only did I explain that, you chose to ignore the entire point of the comment. To answer, obtaining in my sense above meant creation. Can you justify your previous claims now, as opposed to dodging through arguing about semantics of language?
I believe it was because its "expected behaviour". To me, it makes sense, as something like:
for i in range(0, x/2):
Will still work either way for both types (int or double), and the int conversion is easier to do later then the conversion back.
The problem with child porn isn't the 'information', it is the obtaining of that information. If you claim that your right to free and uncensored information is worth so much, how about a child's right to not be exploited?
The paper says that the filtering will be URL based (to start with, possibly moving to other methods later). With that in mind, I present my (patented..?) two step method to bypassing the filter:
Step 1: Get IP address of blocked site
Step 2: Enter that IP address
In my VCE (end of high school in Australia), the specialist maths exam was multiple choice for half of it. The answers were worked out by making common mistakes, such as missing a negative sign or constant when deriving, and then working out the rest of the problem from there.
Its a long process that probably won't be repeated for all mid-semester tests, but works well for such an important exam.
I agree with your cause, but not your method. Post a new story with information about the trial, as there are lots of people here (I imagine) that want to hear about this. Posting a comment in a story that doesn't relate is going to reduce your audience, not increase it. You can even post your story anonymously if you wish.
Another contributing factor is, I have to say, laziness. It is much easier to stay at home, connect the Xbox to the net and play a game, then it was even 5 years ago to organize for all your mates to come around to play Perfect Dark multiplayer in the same room.
People often ignore the benefits of the social interaction, and this causes problems long term, as its hard to switch 'back' once you have isolated yourself even a little from your community.
No, he is defending against poor summaries. I started reading these sort of articles wondering how stupid and greedy some people are, but now I start reading the comments to find the guy that actually READ the patent and realized that the claims aren't as obvious as the summary make it out to be.
Perhaps you should try booting a computer in a corporate environment, where there is much more for the computer to do and check before the computer is actually booted in. That said, I've never seen it take 30 minutes, but I have seen it take more then 15.
To add to the conversation, if at desk, then getting paid. If the time clock is running on the computer, don't power down the computer to ensure you are paid for the time you are there. If policy prohibits that, then they need to change their time clock methods.
For many uni students, $40/month isn't the sort of amount you want to be spending on non-necessary things like internet access.
Add that, the high cost of internet access at uni is a problem, even if the poster has good internet access at home. I'm in that situation: my home connection is great, but my uni has really low limits and high costs. This is fine when I can download something at home and bring it into uni, but if I go over my cap at uni, I can not browse anything at uni. This means I can't look up some papers or follow some links.
To the poster, I say, as first step, use No Script (as was said underneath). For you, the cost of whitelisting everything is less than the cost of the net. Also, don't "Always allow" if you can get away with it. If you always allow YouTube, you are back to the start again.

CoKE?
I don't think the "Let me google that for you" joke applies when you add a different keyword in.

Absolutely nothing. Server capability != game quality

+1 Insightful if I had mod points.

I can see it now: "New theory proposed that explains evidence on evolution better than old theory. Therefore, evolution is wrong"
Nope, he is mentioned in the summary
