Must be a Ubuntu thing. I've never had a problem with Red Hat, CentOS (I know, virtually the same thing), Fedora or Slackware. I've had 4 different cards in 4 different computers over the years (as a gamer and then as a graphics/visualization person at work, programming under Linux). NVidia's drivers always seemed to work on the first try.
It makes me wonder what the value of having so many standards is.
You have to look at how many industries there are when you think about that 1250 number. check here for a listing of the ISO standards by ICS. Everything from health care to math to EE to agriculture to military engineering and back again. You are talking about standards for **everything**. This world is a pretty diverse place.
Tenure too. Tenure is all about research (how many published, peer-reviewed papers?), money brought in and teaching. Although you need to do all three, emphasis is placed on the former.
Honestly, I don't have a problem with it (peer-reviewed journals). I've published before (AIAA, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and I'm working on doing it again (Master's and Ph.D. work). Their rates are reasonable, in my opinion, ($25 a paper to read... if it looks worth reading I can afford that, or get work to pay for it) and in their field they are **the** source. They also have killer student discounts for conferences... $40, which is peanuts compared to the professional registration rate:)
Who cringes at stuff like this mostly out of the fact that it will be used against (intentional word choice) children/teenagers to enforce a parent/group's own set of values upon the youngster who might not even share them?
The alternative? You want the government to raise them?
the patent nowhere mentions a collusion between church and Microsoft. The patent submission suggests several applications, including, "groups of viewers may include a parent-teacher association, a religious-based community, or any other subculture wanting to provide standards and boundaries for program viewing selections.".
claiming that your academics will suffer if work has been published in a journal and you don't reference it.
Your journal submissions / Master's thesis will, regardless of whether you felt this was 'marketing material'. It is very important, if you are going to publish via any mainstream channel, and this includes masters thesis/doctoral dissertation, to consider the literature and cite, cite, cite. Failure to do so can lead to problems down the road, it is no joke.
The benefit of this is that you gain a better understanding of the state of the knowlege of the scientific community and you can better define and carve out for yourself a problem to tackle as a grad student. Uniqueness is important.
Difference here though is that the author has to fill out a license-to-publish which explicitly states they grant OUP the right to charge for their services. Can't publish in the journal without that form.
"You agree that OUP may include the Article in an "open access" version of the Journal subject to payment of the relevant 'open access' fee or submission of a valid fee-waiver form."
You have to sign this piece of paper to submit the article. Obviously, he (or a coauthor?) did, so from my read he gave them explicit permission to seek payment.
5) Unless he's careless about backups, he has a damn copy on his computer at home. He can read his paper for free.
But the real meat-and-potatoes is point #2. You chose to submit it to said journal. Live with the consequences. (I don't condemn publishing in journals - but they aren't the only method of getting the word out, and after submitting your article to a journal it certainly does not curtail you from sharing results with others via other avenues)
Similar spec, slightly better maybe: Sempron 3600+, 512M RAM, 80GB hard drive, GeForce Go 6100 video card, 802.11, wired eithernet, modem, 2 usb ports, firewire, s-video, etc. Windows Vista Home. $350 USD.
(it was slightly slow playing video games, understandably slow due to the shared memory on the GeForce card: Vista + video game had ~256M while the card had 256M. I added 1 gig of RAM (total of 1.5 gigs) for $40, it is now quite zippy. I had considered downgrading to XP but don't think I will anymore)
Wasn't implying anything other than, in order to get NASA funding you gotta meet NASA regs. Don't like it, get funded and provide services to someone else. He who has the gold...
(and you can keep the people with 'lifestyle preferences', thanks...)
Same here, coworker got me hooked on 24... and back in college I used to watch TV shows with friends **all** the time, and no, we didn't live together or on campus.
I go to the bathroom or pop my popcorn during that 20 second warning. I seriously thing GP was trying to be funny. If you can't spare 30 seconds from your day... I feel for you. Smell those flowers on the way out from work!

only a Sith deals in absolutes (so Qai-gon Jinn was a sith?)
Roman Catholics are a subset of christians, thanks.
I move that the Chair recognize kdawson is an idiot.
seconded!
All in favor say 'Aye!'
Tenure too. Tenure is all about research (how many published, peer-reviewed papers?), money brought in and teaching. Although you need to do all three, emphasis is placed on the former.

Maybe they are kinky and really into violating statues ...
The same could be said about more than the average number of senators, and congressmen and women...
Microsoft was a religion and that Bill Gates was its God.

I tithed my 640k this month, did you?
(I kid, I kid, although I did buy a Vista laptop this weekend)

Yup, looks like I f*d up, they pay to submit and the paper is free to d/l for noncommercial use. And the publisher has already rectified the issue.

In order to get published, you have to sign off on Oxford Journal's License to Publish:

and I quote:

That's almost as much as they lose on their X-Box devision every year (zing).
And Microsoft don't even feel it. Any idea how much Windows/Office pulls in?

Up until recently the adoption of 64 bit was very low in the home market - the only market that uses the plug-in really.
:P
I've had 64 bit capabilities at home for 2 years now... not that it matters, I program in C++
Yeah! What did the romans ever do for us?

Around 40 belong to Uzbeki embassies and consulates around the world
Assholes Uzbekistan.
I get computer, Uzbekistan gets computer
I get gmail, Uzbekistan get gmail
I get access to naughty website with Pamela, Uzbekistan cannot afford!
Great success!

The Wiretap Act applies only against those who steal information, not against those who get it afterwards.
MPAA did not steal the emails. They obtained the emails from someone who stole them. The proper analogy would be purchasing a stolen gun from someone.
