I'm not sure it can be called 'Global warming' when it's driven, not by a feedback loop, but by direct heat pollution. I think of it more as a 'Global cooking'
Of course, thats also the point where it becomes economical to filter C02 out of the air as a carbon source, cutting the feedback loop off at it's knees.
Don't feel sorry for the fried, feel sorry for the frozen when it all comes tumbling down and the diamond encysted planet can't retain any heat.
Applying for something absurd is a GOOD THING. The more absurdity we have the better chance we have of bringing down the dmaned patent office and fixing all this crap.
The problem is you generally achieve the position of management via political machinations, one of which is redirecting blame. This means there effectively ISN'T selection presure on the managers to do their jobs, but there IS selection presure on the managers to be seen doing something THEIR manager can interpret as their job.
So, you can only filter out bad managers if their managers are competent and can correctly distinguish a manager doing his job from a manager being seen to be doing his job. This goes up the hiarchy, being more and more difficult as the number of disparit jobs below you in the hiarchy increases. This is why a good, supportive, culture is needed, as the orginization needs sufficient redundent communications and cut outs to be able to detect and correctly identify byzantium failures in it's components.
Really, Steam isn't a problem, at least for people who bought the game via steam and weren't crippled by the outdated CD locking junk Vivendi required in the retail version.
It can't be slander, slander is oral. It may be libel, but that hinges on the truth of the statement, something it may be impossible for the blogger to prove as he isn't the one who authored the comment.
The house doesn't need to stack the deck, the house sees all. Even if they do stack the deck, they can correct the stats of long term players by stacking the deck for them to compensate in games the house isn't in.
Not really, as it means Black Hat Site A can work out your master password and then use it on other sites.
Salt needs to be large, random and generally kept local to the machine doing the authentication (in this case, the machine doing the authentication is the users password repository). Each generated password needs it's own salt.
F/OSS development experience helped me land my current job. It did not help my resume very much, and game development likely won't help yours (unless you are trying to get hired by a game developer). It helped because it kept my skills sharp over two years of unemployment and braindead contract work in a way that simple learning couldn't have.
If you come around the corner of a building and someone is there, pointing a gun at you (or at least in your direction), do you stand there arguing with your freind as to if the gun is a gun, if it's loaded, if it's really intended to kill you? Or, did you take the nescessary action to go back around the corner, out of the line of fire of that gunman?
Aparently, some people like being shot, as the gun is out, it's waving in our direction, but no, tjey say this gun might be unloaded, they might not be trying to kill us, they might miss, so lets keep on walking towards them and look down the barrel to see if there is a bullet there, yah, thats the thing to do.
But really, there is nothing amazon.com (or any website) can do to protect your information on a public computer. How do you know there wasn't a keyboard logger installed? (At least in my experience, nearly every public terminal I have used, where I have bothered to check, has had at least two or three pieces of bot software on it)
Of course, the media has promptly taken things one step further and suggested that "Couples desperate to produce a son could boost their chances if one or both of them switches to a "masculine" profession such as engineering or accountancy". Perhaps this is true - but that might be reading more into the report than is good for it.
AFAIK, GETs should be Idempotent, but that just means hitting them n times for all positive n, produces the same results, it DOES NOT specify that hitting it 0 times has the same result as hitting it once (that would be identity in addition to idempotence). Loging out is a classic example of something with a side effect that is also Idempotent. From any state, hitting a logout link takes you to the logged out state, hitting it again takes you to the same state, therefore, logout is Idempotent.
100k per month? 2 a minute, maybe 10 a minute peek? No wonder you don't need much hardware, your load is a mere trickle. Try handling 200+ transactions per second and then tell me how many boxs you need to handle the load.
I'm pretty sure the keys for my apartment complex, my GB:DS and my work badge all trigger alarms at Sun Coast, Barnes & Nobles and one of the department stores I have to walk through to get out of the Bellevue Square Mall.
I just keep walking, especially with the department store as I trigger them going in and going out without ever coming near any of their wares.
The selling of virtual objects is a good reason that all MMO* should have some mechanism, in game, for the unwilling transfer of equipment and unwilling permanent destruction of equipment.
Take MUME as an example, in it you can be pickpocketed, have your corpse looted, fall into a death trap where there is no reasonable way to recover any of your equipment, just plain break things from over use, hide things pretty much anywhere that persist... as long as no one else looks for them, give equipment to powerfull NPCs.
In an environment like that, things can have great value, but with no guarentee that you will have something tomorrow, would you ever buy anything with out of game money? Would you ever expect to see something ou had loaned to someone ever again?
Linux just cheats and usually has a 0 for the a constant and whatever it costs to copy the distro and send it to you (often 0 for downloads) for d. If you want to try Linux with a non 0 a, try getting a support contract.
It's working on a 2d array of data and is presuming that it is ordered as such:
123 456 789
data[y][x];
This, in memory, is: 123456789
Similarly, the accsess order for the second loop is: 123456789
But for the first one, it is: 147258369
The first one hits memory sequentially, which is good for caching as each cache line stores a large chunk of sequential memory.
Considering hitiing the cache as oposed to hitting main memory is at least 100 times faster, you'll be lucky if the first loop is only 50 times slower.
This still presumes data stored in the specified order in memory (which is common for image formats, but not the only way things are done).
3 is often not enough, though it differs from person to person, I went through, Basic, C, MUDDLE, x86 assembler, Pascal, C++, VAX assembler, Smalltalk, Fortran, Lisp, Moterolla assembler, ML, Scheme, Icon, Java and several toy/experimental languages in my climb up the mountain. It wasn't untill ML that I managed to well and truely disassociate the particular language from the concepts and thought models it was being used to demonstrate and apply then to working in any of the languages.
Of course, then came the all consuming Perl, my little darling language that everything seems to flow more easily into.

A low yield fusion weapon to make raiding the NOC a bad idea. Only helps if everyone has one, should disuade invasion by hostile forces.

Good luck finding a screen reader that works with IE.
More importantly, good luck having a site that makes any sense at all to someone using a screen reader that only renders properly in IE.
I'm not giving them money yet, but I ticked atheist and it is finding matches for me.
Perhaps it has something to do with your location? I'm in Seattle, and atheists aren't exactly uncommon here abouts.

And the edge of the coin is there wouldn't be any market to compete over without the fansubs.

Err, there is a logout link on most pages:
(If you're not *****, click here.)
Or, clear cookies.

The formula is something like:
a*b^(c*q)+d
Linux just cheats and usually has a 0 for the a constant and whatever it costs to copy the distro and send it to you (often 0 for downloads) for d. If you want to try Linux with a non 0 a, try getting a support contract.
Which only doubles the dictionary size (actually, less than that as I think the numbers are in the same positions, yes?)
