Ah, and the the obligatory "that factually correct post that makes me uncomfortable because it points out how the US government suffers from some serious brain damage and so I'll whine and imply that slashdotters are anti-American" reply.
Second, with the Nebuchadnezzar approach scene in "The Matrix: Reloaded" I understood the controller to be jacked into a mini-matrix enviroment (like the training scenes) with the 'display' being a VR. I think the article implies they think it was some sort of 3D display.
As a matter of fact, in that very same scene they *show* the gate operators to be "jacked in" while laying in their chairs, to *demonstrate* it's a Construct-like setup.
It seems like the author of TFA had a good idea for a writeup, but didn't do the homework required to make it thorough.
As well any employer should be wary of hiring anyone.
Thing is, I know people who have great paying jobs who didn't go to college, and I know people who have mediocre paying jobs who went to college. The difference that always sticks out in my mind is that the people who didn't do the "live at college after high school" really wish they had, for the experience and the social aspects of it. It's not all about getting the best job and being obsessive about your future career. There's plenty of time for that the rest of your working life (sad to say).
I always say that the most impressive friendly AI I've ever seen in a game was in the Freespace series. Unlike Wing Commander, where your wingmen were just fodder, the Freespace series had smart AI pilots that DID something other than draw fire.
The "From xxxxx" amount has, at least in all the ads I've seen over the last few years, been prominently accompanied by "xxxxx as shown" where From As Shown. AFAIK this is the result of lawsuits where just the sort of misleading advertising which MS is being accused of was used.

I wonder if this will fall under the "in our contract it doesn't legally say 'unlimited' " bit. I still get annoyed when I think back to the days of dialup when an ISP I used that advertised unlimited connection times sent me a nasty email because I stayed online for days at a time without disconnecting, saying that "unlimited doesn't mean unmetered"... as if that mattered to me... metering only is an issue when I pay for something according to the meter reading.
Anyway, I don't really see this as a huge boon. I don't even use 1% of either my gmail or my yahoo account. Are there really people who NEED 10gig+ mail storage?
Power button on most (ATX) PCs triggers an ACPI shutdown. Just a nitpick, but you can redefine this behavior on Win2k and XP (dunno about Vista, but I imagine so), to a variety of alternatives (such as my preferred "Ask me what to do").
From an earlier comment about folding@home, it seems like they're not looking for anything specifically, but rather they have hunches about protein properties and need statistical backing to verify the hunches. I'd say that it's likely that the work unit creation is fairly automated and can pump out a large number of packets.
It's not like seti@home where work units represent some quanta of recorded astronomical data (though seti@home does apparently verify its work unit analysis results by having multiple clients analyze the same work units to ensure no one is messing around with the data).
Managers (even good ones) read case studies that show that decision making effectiveness is directly related to the quality of information and data you receive. Assuming that a particular metric has a consistent behavior, if that metric comes in at a noticible variant up or down, it's very rational to include "did something go wrong with the process that measures it" as an initial part of the investigation.

I get mod points maybe once a week, but rarely use them. Perhaps you are my karmic opposite.
This is funny, but believe it or not, I agree. I think I've gone to Digg on my own all of once so far. Perhaps I am old and crusty now.
I'm assuming that you mean "The September That Never Ended"

There was an article on the front of Cyberpunk Review back around last autumn about the current state of cybernetic limbs.
Ah, here it is: http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/news-as-cyberpunk/p rosthetics-in-the-mainstream-dolphins-bionic-women /
Also related that I found while looking through the archives for that one:

It doesn't look exactly the same, but according to the DVD extras for season 1 of Bones, that system is modeled after an existing tool.
Try searching for it as TekWar, since that was the name of the Shatner novels and so I imagine that's how it was with the series, too.

Pretty much. Oh look, the computer can schedule tasks and send them to people. How innovative!
ugh, stupid slashcode
...where "From" < "As Shown"

And isn't an option with many embedded devices.
No. Even a cursory glance at your laptop next time you are in a commercial parking lot will tell you that (or at an apartment complex).

I think that says it all

Anyone know if this'll use ELILO (in particular so I'm not limited to gentoo as my sole choice for installing on a MacTel without Bootcamp?)
(yeah yeah, technically you can do it on most any dist, but I'm not that interesting in hacking it that much)
Er... yeah, cuz Windows *never* gives cryptic error messages.
