Just throwing out extracts of course materials doesn't make for an education experience. It's about interaction, and challenging assessment.
true that throwing extracts on the web doesn't help everyone but clear explanations of topics does help. this does not require two way communication. take a look at Khan Academy.
With a lame OS, a terrible selection of apps and a mediocre hardware specs, I would say Windows Phone is going to have fierce competition for who has the worse smartphone.:)
I'll be the first to say it, I love Doubleclick. Of course you are wondering why and the answer is that make it easy to block sooo many ads. I wish more people would use Doubleclick.
if there is one brand of router that has been compromised, it's Cisco. why? simple, they are super popular and the NSA doesn't play nice. Cisco owns Linksys, so a huge amount of routers in people's homes have a backdoor just waiting to be used.
This would have been great... several years ago. His arrogance of demanding that he would only release the source if only someone fully dedicated to leading the project that was the final nail in the coffin. He never deemed anyone worthy of the position so it fell into obscurity. I think we would be better off if the source had just been deleted and page taken down.
Oh yeah, the reason it died is that he drove away the other developers.
SkyOS underwent many changes after this surge in popularity. Because of significant differences at the source level, Szeleney stopped thinking of what was under development as the fifth version of his operating system, and the name "SkyOS 5.0" was rebranded to simply "SkyOS". A more professional demeanor was taken throughout the project
"professional demeanor" means he started acting like an arrogant asshole.
As the years progressed and the other founding members of SkyOS distanced from the project,
turns out that people dont like to be pushed around by arrogant assholes.
SkyOS isn't an operating system, it's a cautionary tale.
it's great and all that they posted a pretty picture but they forgot to add a key or a legend of some kind. a color gradient scale with some kind of metric is the least they could do, even the weather channel knows that!
i'm sure the people who made this are the same damn kids that keep walking on my! </rant>
judge> These are terrible chatbots! The things they say dont make any damn sense! guy> If you think this is bad, you should watch them talk to each other on C-SPAN.
competition keeps Google behaving ethically because it believes there are benefits to be had.
perhaps it's the fact that they started the company under the mantra of "don't be evil." come on, Microsoft had to compete when it started out and they did a lot of douchebag things. remember how windows 3.1 wouldnt run on DR-DOS because MS sabotaged it.
David Cole and Phil Barrett exchanged emails on 30 September 1991: " "It's pretty clear we need to make sure Windows 3.1 only runs on top of MS DOS or an OEM version of it," and "The approach we will take is to detect dr 6 and refuse to load. The error message should be something like 'Invalid device driver interface.'"
so dont tell me that competition keeps businesses honest because it's the biggest load of bullshit i've heard in a long time. there is plenty of competition in the tech market and everyone seems to be going with the sue the competition into oblivion form of competition. microsoft has their smartphone OS but everyone is using Android so they decided to extort money from everyone.
Google is honest because it was the plan from the very start.
"It not only damages the UK economy, but substandard goods and services can pose real threats to consumers too."
if it's actually "substandard" then it means it's not a copy of the original because there is no original to copy. meaning they were selling the latest seasons of the shows which aren't on sale yet. if you want the latest season of game of thrones, you are going to have to wait until 2014.
the industry needs to learn that when there is a demand, someone will fill it. if you aren't filling that demand, someone else will.
I'm sure this kid will thank the police for correcting his mistake and this will in no way solidify any resentment of authority figures he has due to figures of authority not stopping the bullies like they should. thanks for doing such a great job!
The "Land of the Free" has become an ironic title and we are all to blame for having let it get this far.
installed KVM as phony IT guy, were arrested and here are their names
this is all the information the article provides. no details of any kind. no picture of the (hopefully stealthy) KVM, how they were caught or anything of any interest at all!
Here's the real scoop:
A man dressed as a "maintenance engineer" (IT guy) claimed to be sent by a some company working for the bank. Then he goes to the bank branch's main server and plugs an external KVM-over-IP box connected to an ethernet to wifi adapter or at least that was the plan. The plan was thwarted at the last minute... no info as to why/how but I'm betting that the server either didn't have a PS/2 port or didn't have VGA output not that it matters without a username and password to login.
A spokesman for Santander insisted that the bogus engineer had not managed to install the device and no customer money was ever at risk.
We are pleased that we have been able, through the robustness of our systems, to prevent the fraud and help the police gather the evidence they needed to make the arrests. Santander operates multiple levels of controls to protect customers' funds and this attack would not have been successful.
Hours after the bogus engineer attempted to fit the device to the computer server, officers from Scotland Yard swooped arresting 12 men on suspicion of conspiracy to steal. As for how they were caught, I think someone just realized there wasn't supposed to be an IT guy there and then the cops got called.

Squirrel has had a rough life, no wonder he wants to end it.
AMD, please please please offer a socketed version of these chips and it would be even better if you offered an ARM processor only socketed chip that can plug into a full motherboard. I really want a full and snappy and upgradable PC in a small(er) form factor that does not need to crank up a fan to "OMG! I THINK I'M MELTING!"-speed because the CPU is running under a full load. If you insist on making it an APU, I can live with that. x86 is dying fast and Windows 8 runs on ARM which makes it the perfect opportunity to change and the time for change is now. Please AMD, do me this one favor.
it's like buying a half-assed PS3 with equally half-assed games! games designed for a small screen are not going to translate well to a large screen. i'll stick to my PS3 and (soon) PS4.
The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft is expected to investigate lunar dust and the moon's extremely thin atmosphere once the craft makes it into orbit around Earth's closest celestial neighbor about 30 days after launch.
In the moon's atmosphere, there are only 100 molecules per cubic centimeter. In comparison, Earth's atmosphere at sea level has about 100 billion billion molecules per cubic centimeter. The total mass of these gases is about 55,000 pounds (25,000 kilograms), about the same weight as a loaded dump truck.
before you ask, neither LADEE nor the internet is a big truck.
what they aren't telling you is that the NSA is coercing NASA to ***CARRIER LOST***
i looked up what the penalty for poaching is an found out some interesting info.
- wildlife tourism is the backbone of the Kenyan economy - before last June (2013), the punishment was a fine of around $480 and maximum jail time of two years, which were very rarely imposed. - at the start of June, Kenyan parliament changed the fine for poaching to a $120,000 fine and a potential 15-year jail sentence.
Kenya only has 8,500 elephants and 1,025 rhinos. if you think the punishment is too harsh then you should consider that poaching is destroying an essential part of their economy. honestly, i think the punishment should even higher because it's equivalent to economic treason. i say treason because when the animals are (nearly) wiped out, tourists will go to other countries and give money to them instead.
if you have obstinate views on ethics and morality, you should stop reading here and if you are a mod, remember there is no "-1 I disagree!"
i'm no tree hugger but there is also the consideration of what is the value of a human criminal (extremely common) versus the value of one of these animals (very rare in comparison). if you REALLY want to get the message across (desperate times call for desperate measures?) then having public executions for poachers seem like it would be a sizable deterrent for teens who want to make a quick buck (ivory is >$1000/kilo). it's an issue of ethics and morality: for the good of the state versus the good of the individual.
sorry but propaganda/psyops doesnt qualify as military CNO. check your own wikipedia article.
Types of Military CNO
According to Joint Pub 3-13, CNO consists of computer network attack (CNA), computer network defense (CND) and computer network exploitation (CNE).[1] Computer Network Attack (CNA): Includes actions taken via computer networks to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy the information within computers and computer networks and/or the computers/networks themselves. Computer Network Defense (CND): Includes actions taken via computer networks to protect, monitor, analyze, detect and respond to network attacks, intrusions, disruptions or other unauthorized actions that would compromise or cripple defense information systems and networks. Joint Pub 6.0 further outlines Computer Network Defense as an aspect of NetOps: Computer Network Exploitation (CNE): Includes enabling actions and intelligence collection via computer networks that exploit data gathered from target or enemy information systems or networks.

As soon as they automate politics. That's when politicians will ban it.
politicians cant even pass the turing test. chances are they will inadvertently ban computer programming.
While you have a good point, you have to understand that this whole project is the ultimate kludge. We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
Always remember, no matter what business you are in, your business model DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST.

"Care to supply actual evidence of these claims?..."
Oh, please. If I had actual physical evidence, I'd be in some NSA sub-basement right now.
you seem to be supplying plenty of evidence to suggest you are a paranoid schizophrenic. no, seriously, i think you need professional help.

that's right, the moon has an atmosphere kinda. it's technically an exosphere.
