Ever have one of those moments when a book's pages are kinda sticky? It's kinda like that. There's not really enough to tear the page, and just running your finger along the sticky section is more than enough to break it.
The solution is to punish the individuals who direct an organization to illegal behavior rather than the organization itself. Punishing the entire organization spreads the punishment to all who are represented by it and diminishes the impact on the few individuals who are truly responsible.
This failed statute was not created by the state of Louisiana. It was created by a handful of politicians. Don't punish millions for the actions of dozens.
If Alice's wifi extends into Bob's house, what happens when Bob doesn't notice that his computer automatically joined Alice's network during startup (before it detected Bob's network)?
If you're going to talk about why a lockdown wouldn't work, go tell it the people who think it would.
I'm also having trouble reconciling these two ideas:
Do you honestly believe that the classrooms would have been any emptier even if the same exact email had gone out at 7:30 or 7:45 when only preliminary information was known?
There was also consideration for causing a panic, or having rumors spread.
What would the panicking people have done? Go to class like normal? Run out onto the streets? Hide someplace?
People in the dorm who heard about it hid.
Keeping people uninformed about a disaster doesn't help them.
Surely the issue of women not being interested isn't just a "Programming is haaaaaaaard" thing; women are not Barbie dolls.
Also, if that were the problem, you'd have as much trouble getting men into CS as you would women.
The real problem is that certain professions are seen as belonging to males or females, so people somehow feel that it's improper to go against these trends.
The university officials, thinking the crisis had passed, decided not to inform the students about it (then changed their minds later). Thinking that the situation was over makes sense. However, I would prefer to have let the students themselves decide how safe they felt instead of having the decision made for them and keeping them in the dark. That's what really pisses me off about how VT handled the incident -- they thought informing the students just wasn't all that important.
I've been looking for something of this nature for wardriving. I can't tell just from the article whether or not it has everything I want, or if the price is low enough, but I think it's worth looking at.
Another question:
They say that they locked down the campus. If that is the case, how did the shooter get into or out of any buildings during that time?
Those are what I'd found before. They have the information, just not packaged the way I'd wanted it. I like the short descriptions from the javadocs -- their tutorials are generally less concise.
... was a quick and dirty intro to Java generics. I've had trouble finding that on Sun's site (especially ones with good code examples), but Google returns some good results. Given the availability of free tutorials, I probably wouldn't buy the book just for that.
That said, this sounds like a good resource on Java Collections in general (though Sun's javadocs are pretty nice themselves), as well as the other features introduced in Java 5. There also seems to be some discussion of more complex generic structures.
I'm still a bit lukewarm about buying it, but if I were getting back into a lot of Java stuff, I probably would.
Now instead of being spammed about stuff that i give squat about, i would get spammed with offers that i would bossibly want to buy.
In some ways the targeted ads are nice. I like having Amazon's recommendations, and I've done Google searches just for the ads. On the other hand, I like to be able to get away from it. With both of these, if I switch to something that doesn't include their cookies (like a different browser, or shopping in meatspace), I can get away from their targeted ads.
It's kind of odd that by going out into the world, where the merchant can see my face, I'm more anonymous than I would be shopping online.
The headline directly says that Amazon plans to use the Web 2.0 Expo to defend the one-click patent.
The summary speculates that Bezos might get called out over the one-click patent.
The article says... wait... this isn't summarizing any article.
So what's happened? Nothing new. What's going to happen? Very possibly nothing new.
Never mind security. If it's stored locally, I can always get at it and do what I want with it, even if I'm away from my desk and my WLAN. When I'm not at home, I can only hope that there's accessible wifi (and not one of those subscription-based hotspots).
When a photon strikes a chlorophyll, it adds its energy to an electron, allowing the electron to escape from its atom (previously known quantum mechanics). It was previously thought that the electron would then go bouncing around between chlorophyll molecules until it found a pheophytin molecule (slightly different chlorophyll). Once it hits that molecule, it activates an electron-transport chain (a similar process happens when burning glucose in a mitochondrion).
TFA suggests that the hopping uses quantum superposition to traverse the chlorophyll molecules more quickly. When the traversal reaches the pheophytin, the superposition collapses into that single state which found the pheophytin.
Appeals to consequences are perfectly valid when discussing whether or not we like the effect something would have. If it were a question of whether or not Bush's conduct is legal grounds for impeachment, then that would be fallacious.
In ethical decisions, using a consequentialist standpoint is also valid.
I suspect all that this is waiting for is a country whose law would require it. Google tends to follow the laws of countries where it operates -- it's not big on civil disobedience.

A proper response is quick, not clumsy. This is both quick and clumsy. VT was slow and clumsy (though clumsy seems unavoidable given VT's size).

They'll probably just switch to distribution channels that have no government oversight (e.g. leave them on doorknobs like fliers).
First, "terrorist" means radical Islam.
Next, "terrorist" means minority party.
Any one else remember the guys in Harry the Handsome Executive who just sat there frisbee-tossing AOL free trial disks?

Generally I'm not out and about without my laptop, but for most users, you do have a point.

Something like that. It's also in some ways true of Linux.
However, Linux and Google "beta" code is reputed to be more stable than MS "release" code.
So it should actually be...
((Girls (on the plus side), you) can ((walk all over them) and (get anything you want.)))
The Flickr links are scans of legal documents.
Yeah, but costs went down so much this quarter!
That's the real goal -- look good this quarter. Who needs sustainability? It's the short term that matters!
