These benchmarks are definitely lal done on a windows box, because if you compare the performance of JS in Firefox on Linux and Windows it is like night and day... I don't know why JS on Linux needs to be so much worse.
As a NH voter - one of those damned independents Hillary and her campaign people were complaining about before she won - and a guy who actually hates and works to remove Diebold machines from the election process here, the differences are pretty minor and seem to be easily explained. The areas using the machines differ VASTLY from those that do not, in most cases. The socioeconomic classes and lifestyles vary across the entire state, and you tend to see the machines in places you see the same types of people. I think, for some reason, Hillary fared better in the cities than did Obama.
Also, afaik all the Diebold machines here only count. All of us still scribble in a dot on a paper ballot. We have paper trails for my city, Nashua, which is one that went to Hillary over Obama.
First s learning personal finances will give you an edge on nearly every other student graduating. Know how to balance your finances, plan, budget, etc.
Second is confidence. Confidence in the skills you do have an ability to gain new ones. Have confidence in interviews especially. Confidence enough to demand more sometimes, too. Confidence directly addresses your questions of how to make yourself more employable.
The skills you need and success in life should follow those two. Actual skills programming have less to do with you getting employed than you may think.
They want to land on land for recovery reasons and to save the crew the effects of being stuck out in the ocean in a waving buoy. With that said, you hit the nail on the head, finding land and aiming at it is significantly harder. That's why both systems are in the engineering specifications NASA gave us, and will be built into the final design, tentatively. The system for placing the capsule at a good location is not one of the design challenges facing Lockheed Martin's contract.
As someone who worked partially on the CEV, it has been decided. it is in the requirements that Lockheed Martin furnish a vehicle that is capable of both. One of the design limitations now is that it must actually be stable in swells of up to 14 feet, which are not uncommon in the cold North Atlantic - emergency abort scenarios land all launches there during early lift-off stages. There are huge problems with ill-effects of ocean landings for crews and they really are looking to avoid it, but even with parachute and pillow systems, they are looking at potential damage,
I'm actually looking at taking up distance bacpacking as a hobby of mine. I gradute in May with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if I could contact you off slashdot with some questions. I just don't know anyone into this stuff personally.

Literally everything NASA makes is created by contractors. They do prototype engineering and some physical prototype development in-house and then contract it out for final changes, drawings, documentation, etc. With that said, I know as a contractor, regardless of our copyright, if my company wanted to release or barter with NASA's information we are prohibited by export control laws. In some contracts the company owns the resulting intellectual property, and in some it does not but the unvarying factor seems to be the mass of drawings that are export controlled and thusly constrained.
This project is being undertaken due to the vast amount of research being done for Constellation and CEV (Crew Exploration Vehicle) which are set to go back to the moon and maybe Mars. I've sat in several presentations about these efforts here at Johnson Space Center (JSC) and they all end up discussing the research of Apollo and how crappy the archives are. Computers weren't used back then for archival and they are working on setting up massive databases for all the paperwork now.
I honestly want to know why we should need an ID to fly anyways? Who cares who you are? You already have been subjected to invasive searches and scanings and x-rays - even with machines that can expose you naked - all in the name of safety, so why concern ourselves with identification? It will be forged easily by those that want to move around desperately enough, regardless. Identity only really matters in a society where reputation matters and in that society I would be allowed to have my pocket knife on a plane.
Strangely enough the military tries to demote this attitude by issuing those in training with the phrase "no excuse. {sir/ma'am/sergeant/etc}"
If you reply otherwise, you may often find yourself in a lot more trouble than just accepting the blame for the situation - even if there IS a good reason.
This technology has been around since Stereolithography was first produced around 1986. The prices haven't gotten any cheaper since then. Some methods are slow enough to take days while the quicker ones are limited in the materials they can use and then not to be as dimensionally accurate. If they are not dimensionally accurate enough many things like tolerances on fittings could be produced as interference fits instead of clearance fits and such. And discounting that, the cheapest rapid prototyper starts around 30k USD and only uses starches. They also need to be post-processed hardened by wax... Not all of the methods are "office friendly" to boot. Many use powder and liquids that are messy and not always safe. The nicer machines run upwards of 800K USD and are limited to parts less than 2x2x2 feet.
There is quite a long time before we need to be worried about these things - the past 21 years proves that it is a slow, hard to develop technology.
This is why the non-windows using world can mount disks with permissions such as noexec (no execute) and other nice little flags and we can be sure it is safe first. I'm sorry to hear the windows users haven't discovered this yet. Someday the 1970's era technology of the un-security focused Unix guys will break through.
Except, the summary implies it is the only opensource method of doing this when, in fact, linux has several others and a few of them are superior (like a few luks implementations using dm-crypt).
For session management in firefox >= 2.0.x.x, enter about:config, search for "browser.startup.page" and set it to "3." Restart firefox and watch the magic happen.
Unless you expect nobody to ever cancel your paid services, then why should there be a fee to this? With all that work it should be well scripted out and never require administrator level input. If it does then the programmers really fouled up. I should never be charged because the company was to incompetent. If you want people to pay you should provide them with the ability to stop paying nicely, sans fee.
I'm not sure how people mod'ed this up. The difference is your source of downloadable linux distros is from confirmed, trusted sources. Your source for downloadable Microsoft products, however, is not quite as reliable. Linux will never have this problem assuming the users take reasonable caution to verify the authenticity of what they are getting. The sites all publish checksums if you want to get it from faster sources.
With that said, I don't really see a problem with this in Vista either. It's a good form of punishment to those who chose to pirate software instead of paying up or taking the better alternatives. But we all suffer in the end from more bot machines. Events like EveryDNS being dos'ed can only get more powerful.
It really depends on the genre. If I sit down to play an RPG it better be a lot longer than 25 hours... With that said, 25 hours out of an FPS is acceptable. The 12 hours it took to beat half-life 2 the first time was lacking though.
I love firefox and am very thankful for it being opensource but I loathe how Mozilla chooses to track and report bugs. I have been going around for days and could've been exploited - possibly but not probably - instead of being able to take appropriate measures to protect myself. It's not like this was some little secret the code was already out in the wild to do it. I find this security through obscurity in opensource projects absolutely disgusting. While we are possibly getting compromised they are sitting on their hands. We, the community, are here to quickly fix problems like these too. Thousands of developers could've and would work on this who the bug was hidden from. This makes the development process absolutely useless...
Unfortunately I am paying enough for books right now as it is. I will try to see if someone I know has it though. I am a rising junior in mechanical engineering so these sorts of things greatly interest me. I've always been a fan of mixing the old school and the new school. I even use a slide rule in class for fun sometimes, heh.

Ever play one of the MechWarriors or similar giant bipedal war machine robot games? I found joysticks rocked for those, as well.
Unfortunately I game so little know, I hardly knew joysticks were out of style...

My HP33s scientific/engineering calculator does that as well. And it's one of the few approved for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
You must admit, Slashdot's moderation system is infinitely more successful than Digg's system.

There's nothing edgy about it judging by all the links in the thread - everything is pretty well rounded off.

The worst part is how poorly you seem to understand what communism really is. And no, spying has nothing to do with it.
