My sister has a Masters Degree in Mathematics and also teaches an advanced placement Calculus class at a local high school. Women bad at math???? I know that to be different. I would rather think that it has to do with having the ability to think in an abstract manner. Some people can do this easier than others. Gender has nothing to do with it.
Swearing in the presence of a law enforcement official in Texas is considered an act of resistance. Therefore resisting an a law enforcement official (misdameanor), where you will be thrown in jail for a least a minimum of 72 hours (at least until bailed out). When you get out you still have to go to your local court and fight (and still pay court costs), where you will then be free to be picked again if you foolishly try it again.

Had to combat several Sun and Windows developers who where trying to sabotage by exploiting early vulnerabilities. All in all, it was an experience that I would repeat again.
While I am not sure that this is a conspiracy, I do believe this could be contributed to an uninformed educator. As a relative of mine is an educator, they do not always have the time and effort to keep up with the latest technology for the education of our children. After speaking with this relative, I have also realized that it is not always the educator, it is also within the parents' responsibility as well.
Educator's responsibilities are to provide an environment and tools to allow the student to learn
Materials to provide the information:
Classroom
After School studies
Environment to allow for discussion, exploration and environment to provide for Problem determination:
Access to information
Where to find information
Validity of information
Viability of information
If it were me, I would question the reason for the confiscation and if no viable reason was provided, then I would demand the CD's back and inform the educator to not react without proper knowledge of the situation (i.e. LINUX is free)
This is the reason why I am leaving the United State!... I can no long rely upon "The People" to protect me. This country has become corrupt!!!! I can no longer provide a contribution to this type of society, and must pursue another means of existence in another country. GOOD BYE USA. CYA...

I am going to have to agree with bladejester. Where I currently reside ( red-stater), which is going to be remedied this Jan. I am seeing more "Live like I do", and less and less of the "small government" type. Some of our laws here in Texas are draconian at best.
Okay, if your main concern is safety to reduce/eliminate the chances of cracking the H2 containment, this can be accomplished by a inlaid traffic control system in the roadways ( i.e. follow the line technology ) that is currently in development ( Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_traffic_control). This, in theory, could eliminate the potential for accidents and address your safety concerns. This is also a benefit to current vehicular traffic that are currently in place. The ability to program your vehicle to a source/destination would help in many different areas of controlling traffic/accidents/fatalities in regard to mass transit that is a growing problem in many different countries and will be a problem that will only expand in the near future. This is indeed an area that needs to be addressed.
I agree that in a vehicle, the current state of technology does not support this endeavor on the small scale (e.g. individual vehicles), but what about power plants? This could definitely be a viable solution at our (human species) current technology. What would the impact be to our current demise of environmental impact and cost when a majority of our energy distribution is powered by a clean burning power source? All the coal power plant would become obsolete (IF they have the ability to produce their own H2).
QUIT thinking small scale!! We find a viable technology and apply it to the wrong problem!!! This technology could be applied on a mass scale to produce a beneficial result to all human-kind in the eminent problem of energy production for the future.
Okay, so what you are saying is that we ship the SAME DTD that is already defined with the application that we provide. ???? WHAT ????
This is does not follow OO design methodologies! REUSE!!!! The whole point behind OO design is that we reuse existing components. If we can not do this then what is the point of OO. If we have defined a DTD that can be used BY the community, then it should be made available FOR the community. The re-distribution of the DTD does not make sense, as it could be altered from one iteration to another. If we suggest this approach, we would have MANY iterations of the SAME DTD.
I am not sure I agree with your assessment of "If you use a DTD, then you must provide it". This does not solve the issue
RelaxNG may provide a mechanism to allow the custom modification of existing schemas, by providing a modification still does not solve the issue of: REGISTERING your schema with any applications that uses it..
The real problem here is that fact that an XML document REQUIRES a DTD!!!, whether its a default or or custom defined.
If a default/Custom DTD is required for the parsing of an XML documentation, then it SHOULD be provided as a service, as this follows the re-use advantages of an OO design pattern!
IN other words, It your application require parsing of a structure, then this stucture MUST be publically available
The bigger question is HOW we REMOVE this dependency!!!
I pretty much agree with all your comments. I also feel that the export of jobs from the US IT industry was a short term thought with out realizing the long term implications.
A company I left 2 years ago will not even consider an applicant unless they are willing to start at the salary range of the 1000+ offshore contractors they currently employ. The "shortage" was created by these companies that do exactly as my previous employer has done.
What????, you mean it is biting them in the a#% now???, well too bad.:)
You hit upon the key word. Parent. It is not the school that fails the children, it is the parent.
I was fortunate to come from a family that did stress science and math as well as other extra curricular activities. This trait comes from the parents actually show interest in the childs education and actively supports them in everything they try to achieve towards that goal. To place total blame on the school system in my opinion is only half the issue.
As soon as I saw the comment, I had the same flashback to the 640K memory statement.:P
As for the benefits of greater than 4 core, that is yet to be seen with our current understanding
of our existing techology.
The introduction of 8x core CPU's will just mean that we will have to look at things in a different way.
I know a REAL quick way to save $100 mil. Fire the CEO and not give him his bonuses. Then buyout any stock options he has for pennies on the millions of dollars.
I hope they plan to outsource their customers as well, because I will not do business with them. My philosophy is that if a company does not support the community in which they are located, then they will not get my business.
The "shock" is the cell phone ringing at 03:30 when an application does not recover from maintenance because they did not follow you instructions

Well, I definitley feel sorry for her. The comments made to anyone in a group are not warranted in my opinion.
As for selecting Need, I recall when I was in a group in Felpaw Village farming Timbermaw Rep, I was kicked out for selecting Greed on a lockbox, little did I know the default selection for the day WAS Need. They IMMEDIATLEY kicked me out of the group, and since then I have and never will join the rep farming groups again. I now just continue killing Deadwood's on my own and enjoy the game. As well as take away kills from rep farming groups:P. Does not matter to me one way or another.
When anyone asks me "We need a healer for LBRS/MC, want to come?", I tell them "No thank you, I no longer participate in raid groups" and continue on my way. They then try to ask "Why?", I still continue on my way.
Some of the hateful comments I have heard on the server I play on has basically made me decide to not want to associate with the majority of the people. It is the people that ask for help to PLAY the game that I do not have any issues. However, I will not help the players who want to do stealth runs through Scholo.
As for Gold Farmers.....When I see players named "Tradebot", or "[Something]Mule" as the sellers on the AH, I just laugh and think, "Now don't all those people who think all gold farmers are Chinese are just bitter about life in general"
You are correct. I came from a large IT shop. Approx. 1800 people. What I was trying to point out that the scenario was totally bogus and not a real world scenario in regards the requirements he was providing. I was following HIS assumption, not mine.
Of course he did. That was the whole point of this study. When would a Windows system do better than a Linux system with respect to upgrading components while putting constraints on what they can do. In my opinion, this study has no merit execept that is exhibits what NOT to do when requirements for an application are not met.
Here is what convinced me that this study is totally bogus.
From his assumption:
* The business migrates operating system versions at the end of the one year period to the latest versions of the platform.
Since SLES9 was released around Aug 2004 (approx.), this would probably mean that since they upgrade their OS at the end of year, then more than likely they would be setting this environment up in their test/development environment within the next couple of months( say Oct at latest ) . Now, MySQL 4.1 went GA around Oct 2004( aprox.) so technically 4.1 was not available until around that time frame.
When was the decision to go to 4.1 made? Was the upgrade so important that is must bypass the development/test phase and preempt the OS upgrade that was hapening in two month?
I see this scenario as nothing more than what conditions can be created to ensure that one system fails and the other does not.
I do not look as this scenario as a failure/benefit for any OS. I look at this scenario as a failure in the Software Engineering process that was used.
The sequence of events that formulated the conclusion(s) are fictitious and do not reflect a real world scenario in respect to the real world application life cycle.
This is also an example of failed requirements gathering in the analysis phase and instead of redoing the requirements based upon their glibc version incompatibility findings, they proceeded down the wrong upgrade path and thus causing a catastrophic (at the extreme) system failure or an unsupported system by the vendor. In this scenario the requirements would not be met once a single application that would make a Commercially support OS/Application no longer under contract support.
Would I hire this person to design my IT infrastucture? Sure! If he comes up with a plan that I agree with:)
