Damn, you're a retard. It's not leet speak, it's a fucking "real" word.
- a native or inhabitant of Nubia; "Nubians now form an ethnic minority in Egypt"
- Today Nubia is the region in the south of Egypt, along the Nile and in northern Sudan, but in ancient times it was an independent kingdom.
Yeah and I immediatly knew that was the wrong answer.
I suppose if I wasted hours doing some mediocre yet geeky thing I could get it on the front page too?
Hey... Hey... Hey.... You can do some mediocre geeky thing and get on the cover of the arts section of the Boston Globe. Star Wars The One Man show was reviewed by the Globe and boy did they talk about how mediocre it was.
A robot kit for just 100 bux? Did it work decently?
Whoops. I just made the price up but you might want to try this website for cheap robotics:
http://www.solarbotics.com/
They have been mentioned in Make and have a review in the product section so you can find out other people's opinions on their kits.
So that's who this is being marketed to? People who are so stupid and ignorant and uneducated that you have to explain to them what the "360" refers to? What, did we just fall out of the sky? (Meteorological students will recognize that as the big blue thing above our head when we're outside).
Hey remember. A revolution is nothing more than a 360. At least the Nintendo and Microsoft will not be going around in circles with their newest systems. I think I may be aproaching this discussion in a roundabout way.

"I wasn't bashing Nintendo, I wasn't bashing the controller, I was really just saying that a byproduct of having a device like this is that people are going to make games that possibly are just there because of the controller, as opposed to being great games of themselves, and I said it badly... I regret that."
Uggg... This quote reminds me of some of the horrible gimmicks that are used the stlyus in DS games. Take Nanostray for example. They foce you to freaking change weapons using the stlyus. It's horrible and it actually makes the game worst/awkward by including the stylus feature. Now take for example Polarium where the concept of that game actually works with using the stylus. Don't force the use of the special features. Use the special features if the premise of the game actually warrant it or otherwise would not degrade gameplay.
What's up with MIT? First they release a study about the effects of tin foil hats on government signals, and now they are making a production with Darth Vader singing....maybe it's something in the water....
Don't forget the death ray. Yeah. I remember walking into the MIT campus one day and watching a bunch of students ride unicycles. I was happy that there was someone more eccentric than myself. Then again I was walking from http://www.roboevent.com/ so the two sort of cancel each other out.
There's no way it can be the worst Star Wars related thing out there (currently a tie between the Christmas Special and Episode I) even tho the music credits list Elton John and Andrew Loyd Webber along side John Williams.
Pick your poison. One man preformance of Star Wars or Star Wars Musical. Both of which are being shown in Boston around the same time.
Internet gaming is only going to get worse. Recently I decided not to play online any more (not even with my DS) because I'm so sick of assholes using every bug and ceat they can to win at all costs. They have no sense of honour at all so I see no reason to waste my time with them.
I really wonder how bad the cheating will be with the DS. Sure lag might be a problem but I can't see how their can be cheating unless some odd things happen.
First off, I'm sorry for stereotyping America there. Of course you're not all like that. Quite a few of my friends are American [on both sides of the camp].
Actually, I just wanted to make sure that you did not get the impression that everyone from New York are obnoxious idiots. Sure there is a sizable proportion of idiots especially in the area you mentioned but otherwise the northeast is fairly progressive which is why I assumed you were from outside the United States. Saying the war was wrong in a mall in Boston and you probably would be cheered. Also, Im sorry if I came off as sarcastic.
What I was trying to point out though is you can get the same violent reaction to speech anywhere. Let's keep in mind there are 62 MILLION people in France. These handful of people are a VOCAL MINORITY.
Yeah. It's not like it hasn't happened here in the United States. The LA riots come to mind.
You guys jump on this "censorship" crap but try saying this in the middle of a crowed mall "the war is wrong, Bush is an idiot and Americans are just too violent and apathetic to stop it." You'll get your own form of censorship known as a beating. I've formed crowds in Burger Kings in upper state New York simply for suggesting that "the xenophobic pschopaths need to watch some foreign media for a minute".
Hmm... Im not sure which is funnier. The fact that you picked the most backward area to make your comparison or that you assume that everyone in the United States is like that.
I was watching a presentation by MIT Lincoln Labs because I was considering doing a co-op with them. Aparently they detect NEA's. http://www.ll.mit.edu/LINEAR/ Aparently there are 1622 objects that need to be towed.
The problem is, is that most companies producing software do not want to pay for an engineer to oversee their project. Also, the way most software operations are run, you wouldn't see an engineer, signing off on the projects. The engineer would force things to be much more tested in order to be ensure that things were actually worthy to be signed off on. There is lots of this kind of software being built for planes, and other situations where it really matters if there is bugs. I don't think this kind of situation will ever happen with off the shelf software. For one thing, software would cost too much, and most people aren't willing to pay $2000 to run an operating system on their home computer, and also because most engineers wouldn't sign off on a system, in which they didn't know the computer their software would run under. There's too many variables on a home computer to be able to garauntee, at that level, that your software will operate completely as expected.
Whoops. I don't care about home computers. I only care about devices that may kill me if the program has bugs. (IE Medical Devices)
I think the last line is actually something like
Dilbert: That isn't very random though.
Some guy: That's the trouble with randomness - you can never tell.
Yes that is it. Thank you.
I am sure there will be lawsuits in the future regarding software bugs, but any software being used where an error could cause a human death is going to have a corporation behind it, that can be held responsible.
Actually, engineers obtain licenses so why not software programers. You are not even allowed to call yourself an engineer without getting that license. That person is actually held legally responsible for the projects he signs off on. Basically, if this system was in place for programmers the programmer would have to take legal responsibility for his code. I see no problem in this.
This is like saying you need a license to operate a Soda Vending Machine because some idiot decided tipping it over trying to get a free soda was a smart idea. You might have to put warnings on compliers like do not code if you have no clue what you are doing, etc but requiring a license won't ever happen.

1988-1996 -- Kerberos Random Number Generator. The authors of the Kerberos security system neglect to properly "seed" the program's random number generator with a truly random seed. As a result, for eight years it is possible to trivially break into any computer that relies on Kerberos for authentication. It is unknown if this bug was ever actually exploited.
Hehehe.... This reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon. Here is what I can remember: Some guy: And here is our random number generator. Another guy: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2. Dilbert: That isn't very random though. Some guy: He is randomly getting the same number. Anyone actually know which comic I am thinking of.
"This is a chapter that ends on a high note for the recording industry, the tech community and music fans and consumers everywhere," said Mitch Bainwol, head of the Recording Industry Association of America.
Cue the almost unanimous outcry about how this guy is not speaking for us.
Actually, they do. Pop is one of the greatest health hazards in common consumption, and no doubt leads fairly directly to many deaths.
Actually when I was saying frothy carbonated water I was talking about frothy carbonated water and nothing more. They have actually discovered cavities in the brains of diet soda drinkers.
Anything you hear about artificial sweeterners being dangerous is a myth. I remember reading an article about artificial sweeterners and basically all the fears concerning them are based off of faulty experiments and science.

Neat little technology and we can use the algae for producing hyrdogen and for food ala Asimov. (No. Im not kidding. People eat algae. Yuck.)
