What he says about RIA might be controversial but there is some validity to what he says. There is a lot to be said for simplicity of interface and richness of content.
The marketing types are trying to push RIA to the masses, and it doesn't always fit there. It can lead to a lot of bloat and complexity for the user (the web page with the interview is evidence of that).
I think the real place for RIA is in the niche market, where specialized information can be processed presented in a less complicated way than on a flat page. In other words, rich internet applications are for applications, and can be overdone when treated as toys.
More precisely,if the experimenter can freely choose the directions in which to orient his apparatus in a certain measurement, then the particle's response (to be pedantic--the universe's response near the particle) is not determined by the entire previous history of the universe.
I wonder if they have taken into account the history of the decision being made, or the machine actually being set in the chosen direction. Now, just from this one quote, it would seem that the act of making a decision may actually influence the history of the universe. So, choice is a part of the entire universe -- the only question is whether or not free will actually exists?
Today they seized a fileserver containing about 65 terabytes of files...
Gee, I guess that's why the one seeder of the torrent file I was downloading went offline. Strange, I shuddered with pain when it happened, like 65 terabytes crying out in astonishement as the server died.
Oh yeah? Then how come "the one that got away" always gets bigger?
And the more beer a fisherman pours down his gills, the bigger it gets! Just get a couple of twelve-packs and you'll have lakes full of uncaught big fish in a couple of hours.
I think it's a fine idea. the spectrum is public land. You rent it you don't give it away.
I thought the spectrum auction was for licenses with a term of no more than 10 years. They can be renewed, but the conditions required for renewal will be expensive to meet -- but probably less than what the new Obama taxes will cost.
And when it comes to leasing land and drilling, exactly what is your expertise in this area? How many acres of land have you leased? How much prospecting have you done?
This is no different than the Java SE installing it's plug-in for Java applets, or Adobe Reader installing it's plug-in for viewing PDFs directly within the browser.
The microsoft "helper" plugin cannot be uninstalled like the java or adobe plugins. And since it behaves differently in that respect, I wonder if the.NET "Click-Once" apps trigger all those "security" warning popups like applets do? Maybe this uninstallable characteristic is related to getting around the windows "security" model. If that's the case, then microsoft will be able to call it "a feature".
Computers and robots will be there for you for the rest of your life...
University admissions might not be there. You can take a break when you get your degree. Besides, just because it's an engineering/science camp doesn't mean you can't make new friends there. Even girlfriends.
Congratulations to aantn. Don't be afraid to pursue your interests. And learn now not to pay any attention to comments like those from SupplyMission -- you'll be getting those for the rest of your life.
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has an interesting program called Operation Catapult that might be of interest. I attended many years ago, and the program was great. All the facilities -- libraries, labs, machine shops, etc -- were available to you and you worked with full professors and department heads for your project. It's an invitational program, but it sounds like you're qualified.
The school itself is not widely known to the general public, but it is very well respected academically. Check out the wikipedia page.

Remember, mono/moonlight are *open source*.. not even just a binary blob provided by Microsoft.
Moonlight is a patent minefield. Code contributed by microsoft (or anyone else) is not reviewed for possibly infringing microsoft patents, and if infringing code is discovered, it won't be removed because of the Novell-Microsoft patent deal. That is to say, moonlight is open only to Novell enterprise linux users. Users of moonlight on any other version of linux are subject to being sued by microsoft or Novell.
Moonlight is a booby trapped delivery system for infringing code that Steve Ballmer describes as "an undisclosed balance sheet liability."
I see JavaFX coming to linux sooner and in a better position than silverlight and AIR.
Do you have a link to the release date for javafx for linux or solaris?
Do you have a release date for Silverlight or AIR for linux or solaris that's up to date with Windows?
So the answer is NO, you don't have a release date for javafx for linux or solaris. Until then, both silverlight and AIR are in a better position than javafx on linux.
The only reason I'm interested at all in Adobe is because they, unlike Sun, have released an SDK for linux.
They promise javafx is coming to linux and solaris, but they don't mention when. Sun promised the same thing with the 64-bit plugin TWO YEARS before it was released, so why should anyone hold their breath for javafx on linux or solaris.
Linux users may have a seat at the back of the bus with Adobe, but Sun doesn't want linux or solaris users to even get on the bus.
So the proof that the newly released JavaFX will fail is that you haven't been using it for building applications?
A high percentage of developers code on linux systems, and if you want that code to run on windows, you're primarily limited to java or browser-based applications (although GTK is starting to look appealing). Deploying java applet and webstart apps is a nightmare, but javafx is being trumpeted by Sun as a solution to this -- for windows and mac only. Note that you need to download javafx just to view the demos, so even though it was downloaded by a lot of windows/mac users doesn't mean that a high percentage of those downloads were by people wanting to develop javafx apps. So the problem isn't that the grandparent poster doesn't use javafx, it's that if you use linux, you CAN'T use javafx.
And it appears that that will be the case for quite awhile, because Sun has been purging comments from their blog post about javafx support on linux and solaris (all comments from December 6 and 7th are now missing, along with some others), and the editor of the java.net site says that Sun has "better things to do" than release a linux or solaris version of javafx.
That may not be "proof that JavaFX will fail," but it certainly doesn't help foster its adoption.
Sun can still turn things around if they release a 64-bit linux port of javafx. The 64-bit plugin technology is related to javafx, so maybe if and when Sun ever releases a linux version of javafx, it will be for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
Most student work nowadays is done at a computer, at 4 AM, though, which doesn't lend itself to looking through the stacks for a book.
You're right about that. What surprised me was that, with this being a graduate level course, confirming legitimate references were not also present.
I only had a chance to look at a few projects, though, before the Cornell site slowed to a crawl likely due to the Slashdot traffic. They are pretty cool.
Too bad I can't get the academic pricing on the Altera board.

Dayum. To be or not to be.
Ironically, the Whirlpool page is still available in the google cache of the thread.
What I want to know is why the CVV numbers were there and for what merchants, as they are not supposed to be cached according to the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS).

Yeah, I can see that spending $1 BILLION on this study is so much better than, say, building roads or repairing bridges.
You're right about that not being the relevant question. The relevant question is:
Why is this included in an ECONOMIC STIMULUS PLAN?
I thought the spectrum auction was for licenses with a term of no more than 10 years. They can be renewed, but the conditions required for renewal will be expensive to meet -- but probably less than what the new Obama taxes will cost.

I've seen the many-digit number they call the Porkulus plan.
The only thing that bill stimulates is government spending. Now the democrats want to follow it up with the "taxulus" plan.
Don't forget about the scum-sucking sack-of-shit judge John Darra.

As in creature feature.
What part of "can't uninstall" confuses you?

Damn straight. Just ask any malicious software author what their server platform of choice is.

It's Windows ONLY, fanboy.
He will be missed.

Do you have a link to the release date for javafx for linux or solaris?
Kind of hard to do that if you're running linux or solaris.
Would holding up JavaFX on 98% of desktops in hopes that Linux will get its multimedia act together really be in the interest of Sun or Java? If so, hold your breath and think "everything should be in Ogg" over and over again until you get your wish. The rest of us have better stuff to do. -- Editor, Java.Net . What this has to do with solaris is unclear.

Yeah, it was covered on Page 3.

A lot of these projects use wikipedia references extensively. Also, most of the other references are websites. There are very few text references.
Does Cornell have an engineering library?
